{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses

[[File:AB_Leon_idle.png|frameless|center]]
| pros =
* Fast and unpredictable offence
* Very accessible juggle combos
* strong normals with high priority
* Many moves cause knockdown which puts the opponent in an unfavorable position
* Decent super
* Great meter bar length and divisions, although Leon doesn't benefit from it too much
| cons =
* Relatively low damage for a defensive character
* Poor meter usage
* Unbalanced normals
* Hard to punish projectile spam
* Relies a lot on predictions to perform optimally on both offence and defence
* Horrendous boost mode

Latest revision as of 12:44, 18 September 2023

Leon is a swordsman with the power to imbue electricity into the twin blades he wields.

An arrogant and narcissistic knight who comes from the same noble yet reclusive kingdom as Lightning, Leon is ordered by his king to investigate the mystery of the lost continent.

Leon plays similarly to Lightning in Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty and is a defensive charge character with long reaching normals. He alternates between his shortsword for quick up-close attacks and his longsword at range, combining their use for his most iconic moves.

Overview

AB Leon Pose.png
Leon is a charge character with solid range and disjoint.
Pros Cons
  • Strong reactive guard cancel options
  • Potent all-around offense
  • Normals have great range and disjoint
  • Large meter gauge allows him to escape juggles often
  • Height makes getting in a struggle
  • Committal ground game
  • Especially vulnerable to air-to-ground blockstrings due to charge inputs
  • Poor ability to convert hits past close range
  • Tall hurtbox enables character-specific mixups
  • Fairly low damage
  • Subpar low-hitting options for offense
  • Situational uses for meter
  • Very niche boost mode

Standing Normals

5A
AB Leon 5a.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
8 5 6 3 M -A-, -B-, -C-, -SP-, -UM- 4 3

Quick jab with his shortsword hand.


5B
AB Leon 5B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
16 9 6 13 M C, SP, UM -2 -3

Standing front kick.

  • Shorter and slower than 5C.
  • Niche because of Leon's poor ability to convert off of it.
    • Launcher whiffs past point blank.
    • 2C(2) whiffs at max range.
    • [2]8B and [2]8C require prior down charge and charge partitioning.
    • [4]6EX requires prior back charge and one bar.


5C
AB Leon 5c.png
AB Leon 5c2.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
12, 14 (23) 7 4 (14) 8 31 M - -16 -17

Leon imbues his blades with electricity and swings his shortsword up, then his longsword down.

  • Fairly negative on block and on hit, but has so much pushback that it is usually safe.
  • Thanks to its speed, range, and pushback, 5C is a great button to make space.

Crouching Normals

2A
AB Leon 2a.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
8 5 4 5 L -A-, -B-, -C-, -SP-, -UM- 4 3

Standard crouching jab.

  • Against most characters, chaining twice past point blank will make launcher whiff.


2B
AB Leon 2B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
16 7 4 19 M C, SP, UM -6 -7

Upward slash with his shortsword.

  • Can sometimes be used as an antiair.
  • Can be confirmed into [2]8X at all ranges (on ground or air hit).


2C
AB Leon 2c.png
AB Leon 2c2.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
16, 8 (22) 9 6 (4) 2 11 M, L - 0, knocks down -1, 9

Crouching, electrified double thrust into sweep.

  • The first hit can be blocked either way. This means a standing opponent can block low on reaction to it.
  • The second, sweeping hit can whiff entirely at max range.
  • This move has amazing frame advantage on block due to its short recovery.

Air Normals

j.A
AB Leon j.a.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
8 3 26 6 H -A-, -B-, -C-. -UM- N/A N/A

Leon slashes his shortsword upwards.

  • Has two hitbox states: one while the blade is rising, and one when it's already at the top of its arc.
    • Despite this, j.A can only hit once.
  • Can be canceled on whiff starting on frame 18.


j8.B
AB Leon 8.B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
16 5 10 19 H C, UM N/A N/A

Leon thrusts his longsword forward.

  • Can be used to protect air space with rising j8.B into falling j8.B, or rising j8.B into falling j8.C.
  • Outshined by j.7/9.B in most other aspects.
  • If Leon's last regular jump was a neutral jump, dash-jumping into j.B will make this move come out.


j7/9.B
AB Leon 7.B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
16 7 8 21 H C, UM N/A N/A

Leon thrusts his longsward down and forward.

  • Amazing instant overhead.
    • Can be staggered into j9.C or air launcher to make your opponent respect you.
  • If the opponent is too close to Leon, this may whiff crouching opponents, especially if done rising.
    • Cannot hit crouching AB Alice CSS.png Alice and AB AliceSecret CSS.png Alice! with the close hitbox at all.
      • They cannot be hit crouching by rising j.B at all, either.
        • Instant j.9B can only hit them if they're standing, with the very tip of the hitbox.
  • If Leon's last regular jump was a forward or back jump, dash-jumping into j.B will make this move come out.


j8.C
AB Leon 8.c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
24 7 8 7 - - N/A N/A

A powerful electrified slice straight ahead.

  • Has extremely good frame data all around.
  • Solid defensive air-to-air option.
  • If Leon's last regular jump was a neutral jump, dash-jumping into j.C will make this move come out.


j7/9.C
AB Leon 7-9.c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
24 15 6 N/A H - N/A N/A

Wide, electrified downwards swing with both blades.

  • Despite appearances, this move's crossup hitbox is quite small.
  • Can be used as a quick overhead if done instantly from a jump.
    • This is punishable at -8 on hit.
  • If Leon's last regular jump was a forward or back jump, dash-jumping into j.C will make this move come out.


Command Normals

6B

Daniel

16 23 9 3 H - 5 4

Jumping command overhead.

  • At point blank, this move whiffs crouching AB Alice CSS.png Alice, AB AliceSecret CSS.png Alice!, AB ChenMao CSS.png Chen-Mao, AB RoseMary CSS.png Rose Mary, and AB Yashaou CSS.png Yashaou.
    • Despite his short height, AB ZamB CSS.png Zam-B is so wide that he gets hit by the later active frames as Leon falls.
    • Connects properly on every character around max range.
  • Rather slow by this game's standards, making 6C preferrable in most instances.
    • However, unlike 6C, this move Has solid frame advantage.


6C
AB Leon 6c.png
The cooler Daniel
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
20 11 8 22 H - -7 -8

Quick overhead thrust with great range.

  • Leon's grounded overhead of choice, being essentially unreactable.
  • Despite being negative on hit, this move's pushback makes punishing it impossible for most of its range.
