[Asta is going to call the police!]
[I'm shocked by Lord Salvation Emissary, the speed boost from 10-level E is 7 points higher than my heart's 12-level ultimate in station form!]
[This is power!]
Katiya looked astonished.
"To be honest, I previously predicted that big Leon's E acceleration would at most be on par with Asta, but I didn't expect the growth to be that high."
"Just one E skill alone is worth more than 2 pairs of speed boots."
"It can be said that as long as it's not an ultra-low-speed character and the relics don't have any speed, Leon can easily boost to 160 speed."
"160 speed is the threshold for 2 cycles 4 actions, and for most players cultivating supports, it's also the most cost-effective tier."
"Of course, for supports like Tingyun and Pela that already stack speed themselves, eating Leon's E to reach 200 speed can achieve 3 actions in the first cycle."
"And this is a halo-type skill, unlike Asta which is attached to teammates—what does this mean?"
"It means the speed boost is throughout! Plain and unadorned numerical beauty."
Katiya then looked at the next skill of five-star Leon.
Ultimate (AoE) (Level 10)
[Candle Yin Time Regression Tribulation]
Opens a boundary and deals Wind DMG equal to 188% of Leon's DEF to all enemies.
When enemies enter the boundary, they enter the [Regression] state, which cannot be dispelled.
When all allies attack targets in the [Regression] state, 50% of the damage dealt is recorded, not counting overflow damage.
At the start of the next turn of any target within the boundary, detonates the damage value recorded by [Regression].
If the attacker's speed is greater than or equal to 180, detonates [Regression] immediately after the attack ends.
If the target's HP is 0 before [Regression] detonates, the detonation damage is transferred to the enemy target with the current highest HP.
If all targets on the field have 0 HP, it is transferred to the target with the highest HP in the next wave of enemies.
When the Battle Skill is active, all allies within the boundary are immune to speed reduction and action delay; if such debuffs already exist, they are immediately dispelled.
The boundary lasts 3 turns, and the duration decreases by 1 at the start of each of Leon's turns.
When Leon enters the incapacitated state, the boundary is also dispelled.
Energy Restoration: 5
Weakness Break: 20
"Ah?"
"Awesome!"
Seeing the full information of this ultimate, Katiya's heart shook dramatically.
"I knew from the story experience that not much could be seen; not mentioning the 50% final damage independent multiplier, the other mechanics are also quite domineering."
"For example—"
"Suppose Jing Yuan's ultimate can already kill 5 small monsters, then 50% of the damage dealt to each small monster by the ultimate will be transferred to the next wave of small monsters."
"No, I have to try it first to see if it's really as I thought!"
Katiya teleported to the material domain, used energy recovery consumables to fill the character's ultimate.
Jing Yuan deliberately swapped to speed boots stacked to 120, entered battle.
First opened Leon's ultimate, then Jing Yuan's ultimate to clear the field.
As soon as the next wave of identical small monsters came out, two were immediately killed by the damage recorded by [Regression], and one lost half its health.
"As expected, for these low-HP small monsters, Regression can be understood as a delayed bomb of half the monster's HP."
"Five small monsters, total recorded 250% HP [Regression], just enough to kill two and deal 50% to another."
"From this, it can also be seen that this skill's mechanism is very intelligent and won't waste damage on corpses."
[Not even pretending anymore!]
[This is a limited Harmony, love it.]
"If I have to say one drawback, it's that the energy requirement is too high, a full 130."
"As for immediate detonation at 180 speed and delayed detonation, it doesn't feel like a drawback; in double C teams, delay might have miraculous effects."
"Under normal circumstances, EAA definitely can't cycle, even with 5-stack Messenger or Wheel Contract won't work."
"Let's see if there's an energy regeneration trace like Tingyun's."
Talent (Support) (Level 10)
[Afterglow Wind Ash]
For every 4 natural turns accumulated by all ally characters, Leon clears all his own debuffs and gains an extra turn with immediate action.
After consuming 2% of max HP, designates a single ally except himself to gain an extra turn.
The target gaining the extra turn clears all debuffs and can choose to cast Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate.
Casting Ultimate does not end the extra turn; when attacking, ignores 20% of enemy DEF, lasting until the end of this action turn.
If Leon's speed is greater than or equal to 200, the effect changes to last 2 turns.
Character extra turns, follow-up attack turns, and Ultimate turns do not count toward natural turns.
If Leon's current HP is insufficient, he will enter the incapacitated state after completing the action.
The intelligence that five-star Leon's pull skill is an extra turn is almost common knowledge, and people were already amazed long ago.
Now looking at it, most people are quite calm.
20% ignore defense is also so-so.
What's hardest for player fans to bear is the last line in the skill description.
Other HP-consuming characters, when there's no HP left to deduct, will always retain 1 point.
Leon deducts the last 1 point, pulls you into the extra turn, and offers his final ripple before dying...
[Am I beautiful! Even the skill traits have knives?]
"Sigh, can only say it deeply matches the plot; body perishes, mountains and rivers remain, the determination contained is no joke."
"200 speed requirement... a bit terrifying; even wearing Messenger set, a lot of speed needs to be stacked."
"Simple? Not simple at all; Leon's E acceleration is only for teammates, unlike Asta which is for everyone."
"Not counting the speed bonus that Messenger 4 can't maintain throughout, to reach 200 speed, almost every relic piece requires 10 points."
"But Leon's traces have 10 points of speed; bare 130 is already perverted, but the pressure is still high."
"Perhaps need to bind his own four-star form; after all, four-star eidolon has 8 points of speed."
Secret Technique (Support)
[Pendant Heaven Breath Restraint]
After using the Secret Technique, at the start of the next battle, restores 20 energy to allies except himself.
"Nest grass!"
"During the preview, I was wondering if it was 10-15 points; didn't expect a full 20 points! Awesome!"
"So many characters can no longer rely on Tingyun, speed up warm-up to open ultimate in one action, advancing output time."
"I won't list how many characters benefit; everyone discuss yourselves."
"With just this one Secret Technique, Leon is absolutely an absolute human rights card, at least irreplaceable for a very long time."
