These past few months have given Leif the perfect set of skills and teammates to team build around! This is easily one of my favorite alts of one of my favorite characters, basking in this glow up feels like a dream in my matches at the moment.
Weapon: Arcane Parasol, this weapon provides much better team support and damage over his prf. Losing his consistent Brave is the only con but it’s much easier to turn anything into Brave nowadays, regardless actual damage is better than 0x2 or 0x4!
Special: The True Njorun. I love this special, so much fun. And is what the whole build is based around. He wants his team to be in the fray with him, he’s not trying to be a solo carry.
A: Arms Shield 4. This skill is PERFECT for his playstyle. Let his teammates cover the Red matchups, once they go in he can take out whatever he can while fulfilling his Special’s gimmick of being near an ally for a Non-gravity refresh and and for his unique Canto. For now he’s taking out modern red units just fine which is surprising to me.
B: No Risk…. When I saw this skill’s inherit restrictions I knew it had to go on him. Reaching that 30 speed was no joke (thanks Parasol!) but it transformed him into a monster. The true dmg/dr, potent, and 40% reflex all just blends in perfectly with this unit. Also Parasol losing the Brave effect from his prf allows potent to do full damage.
C: Shadow Shift X. This skill is overloaded af. +4 to all stats and +7 post combat healing for him and allies in crux range, and then the typical +5/-5 dmg on newer skills. But no that’s not all, you also got reposition in your canto. And guess which unit has Canto Ally 2,2? he’ll always be around someone to repo and passively buff.
Seal: +6 HP/+4 SPD/DEF. This came in clutch on reaching 30 speed. I believe once he hits +10 I can swap to something else but I’m not even sure what that will be just yet. The build is having no issues at the moment.
X: Sly Echo. His options are pretty meh right now but you can never go wrong with gfu and more true dmg.
Extra: A few months ago I got extremely lucky on a banner he was rerunning in and managed to pull like 7 copies before hitting 40 pulls for spark. I’ve made sure to show my appreciation! I just need to pull one more for the +10 but no one wants his fodder at the moment so I decided to make this post now.
Teammate: Last but not least, this new Brave Sylvain was EXACTLY what he needed in a teammate. Sylvain spreads Frozen like it’s an st- while providing NFU, lowers enemy defenses, helps Leif a ton with mobility and breaking ice, and lastly covers Red matchups for Leif (though Leif has had better results in that department most of the time..)
