Gameplay Overview
Leona is an excellent KOFXIV character with no major weaknesses. As of patch 2.0, her health was nerfed to 900 (along with Kula, Athena and Mai). Her damage was also toned down quite a bit as X-Calibur won’t combo from any air normal anymore, but overall her damage went down too. She still has an amazing set of normals and combo potential to take down anyone. Leona also has the fastest back roll in the game and a run animation so low that it runs under several pokes from the whole cast. She is execution-heavy with plenty of charge moves and tight cancels, but a strong character for anyone willing to learn her.
Strengths:
- Crazy damage
- cr.B links into cr.C, also acts as frametrap
- Complete set of great normals, both ground and air
- V-Slasher to punish for slip-ups
- Versatile, can be played defensively as well as rushdown
- Two instant overheads with big damage potential
Weaknesses:
- Bad meterless reversals
- Demanding execution
- Low health means she can be killed in one hit against certain anchors
- Somewhat low damage for 1-bar combos
