“ | I'm glad you're OK,Corrin. You must have the devil's own luck! | ” | — Leo |
---|
Leo (Japanese:レオンLeon) is a character inFire Emblem Fates. He is a younger prince ofNohr and the son ofGaron. He is one ofCorrin's adoptive siblings. He is very intelligent and does not like making mistakes. He favors using magic over fighting with a sword. Like all other Nohrian andHoshidan royalty, he possesses the power ofDragon Vein, being able to alter the terrain around oneself.
Biography
Leo isCorrin's younger adoptive brother. After a sparring match between Corrin andXander, he accompanies Corrin to the capital ofNohr. There, Corrin is ordered to execute several helplessHoshidan prisoners, includingRinkah andKaze. When Corrin refuses to do so, Leo pretends to execute them so Xander can sneak them out. During the Hoshidan attack at the expedition to theBottomless Canyon, Leo and the other siblings rescue Corrin from Hoshidan reinforcements.
Birthright
If Corrin sides with Hoshido, Leo feels angry and betrayed. When Corrin's party is tricked and attacked by the Nohrian dark mageZola, Leo arrives at the end of the battle intending to execute Zola for his dishonesty and cowardice. Corrin convinces him to spare Zola, but Leo ignores this and denounces Corrin as a traitor. He next encounters them in Cheve, where Corrin is attempting to convinceCamilla that Garon must be stopped. Leo interrupts them, again denounces them and preventing them from convincing Camilla to join them. He attempts to kill Corrin, but is forced to retreat when Scarlet's resistance army arrives. He warns Corrin he is not through with them and leaves with Camilla.
Later, he ambushes the group in the Woods of the Forlorn and attempts to convince himself that he always hated Corrin. He also expresses jealousy towards Xander and Camilla's favoritism, but he is unable steel his resolve for his battle against Corrin and is defeated. Corrin refuses to kill him, and asks for his help to stop Garon, but he refuses to fight against his own family.Azura gives Leo a mysterious crystal. Leo provides Corrin's the group with a warp book that can transport them to and from Notre Sagesse so they can meet theRainbow Sage and receive his power. Leo leaves to examine Azura's crystal, which shows himGaron's true form. Realizing Corrin is correct, he appears again later to executeIago and to allow Corrin and Elise to pass through without interference. Leo does not join Corrin's forces, finding himself unable to raise his tome against his father, but knows now that he must be stopped.
After ending the war with Garon's defeat and the death of Xander, Camilla abdicates the throne, and Leo becomes the next king of Nohr.
Conquest
If Corrin sides with Nohr, Leo helps fight the Hoshidans. When Garon sends them to suppress the Ice Tribe rebellion, Leo goes behind Garon's back and sends his retainersOdin andNiles to aid Corrin.
Leo fully joins Corrin's group during a Hoshidan assassination attempt against Garon. After the battle ends, his Brynhildr resonates with Corrin's Yato and transforms it into the Grim Yato. Leo serves alongside Corrin for the rest of the campaign against Hoshido; he is occasionally responsible for personally executing some of Corrin's more devious foes, such as Zola and Iago.
Revelation
If Corrin refuses to take a side, Leo denounces them as a traitor along with the other Nohrians. He next encounters them in Izumo, where he executes the Nohrian dark mage Zola for his dishonorable tactics in battle. Corrin attempts to explain to him what is happening, but Leo dismisses their story as the work of an overactive imagination. Later, however, he and Xander overhear Garon plotting to destroy both Hoshido and Nohr, making them wonder if Corrin was telling the truth. Ultimately, the two brothers decide to place their faith in Corrin and join them at the Bottomless Canyon alongside their retainers, where they help defeat Iago. Leo fights alongside Corrin for the rest of the campaign against Valla, and eventually lends them the power of Brynhildr to transform the Alpha Yato into the Omega Yato and destroyAnankos.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Leo is a prepromotedDark Knight that joins in chapter 14 ofConquest and chapter 17 ofRevelation. InConquest his bases are good enough to deal with most of the enemies on the map, though he will usually not double or get doubled by most enemies and will be a great counter to the bow and magic users of that chapter. InRevelation, while his bases aren't as good due to him joining later, he can still contribute well and can serve as a good magic pair up bot.
Leo joins with solid all-around bases and growths as well as decent weapon levels, and though the fact that Leo does not excel in any particular area can be an issue, they are still good enough to have him contribute and grant him flexibility in a wide range of classes. Leo also comes with his personal tomeBrynhildr, whose high might and 1-2 range; unlike most tomes or 1-2 range options inFates, the Brynhildr does not carry any penalties, but instead gives Leo an additional +10Dodge and has anAegis-like effect against units attacking him with magic. He comes with the skillsPragmatic,Heartseeker andMalefic Aura. Pragmatic is his personal skill which allows him to deal more damage to, as well as receive less damage from previously injured foes. This skill is good in combination with skills such asSavage Blow as it often gives Leo the extra damage needed to kill an enemy or deal high damage to them. Heartseeker lowers theavoid of enemies by 20 which is very useful for capturing certain bosses, though Leo may need to endure a counterattack as he must be adjacent to an enemy unit for it to activate. Malefic Aura is a great skill for additional magic damage. Leo can use both tomes and swords but he will mostly be using the Brynhildr, and he will only be using sword against enemies with lowdefense but high resistance such as enemy healers.
In his Dark Knight class he learns the skillsSeal Magic andLifetaker. Since Leo almost never struggles against magic enemies Seal Magic can be useful as it cripples enemy magic users allowing units with lowerresistance to finish them off; unfortunately, due to most magic using enemies having low defense anyway, meaning they usually will not survive a combination of said unit's and Leo's attack magic, Seal Magic is situational outside of dealing with some bosses that use magic. Lifetaker allows Leo to regain HP if he defeats a foe; this combined with Leo's decent HP, resistance, and defense allows Leo to develop a somewhat reliable enemy phase as well as avoid needing to use aHeal staff on him when injured.
On the subject of reclassing Leo has three options:Sorcerer,Strategist andButler. Both Butler and Strategist give him the skillsResistance +2 andGentilhomme. Resistance +2 is mostly useless on Leo because of his high natural resistance and the effects of Brynhildr. Gentilhomme can be a bit tricky to setup, but can prove useful for helping strong female units likeCamilla. Strategist causes Leo to loses his ability to tank physical attacks somewhat well, but instead makes him more into a strong magical attacker and support unit.Rally Resistance andInspiration are both useful supportive skills granting nearby allies boosts, along with getting access to staves make Leo into a strong support unit, and it lets him continue to use Brynhildr in combat. Butler is a sub-optimal class since Leo is not proficient indaggers and will need twoArms Scrolls in order to use the magic-basedFlame Shuriken, along with the fact that Leo cannot use Brynhildr in this class. This class gives him the skillsLive to Serve andTomebreaker. Live to Serve is only useful for Leo if he stays in a class that can use use staves, while Tomebreaker is largely unnecessary on Leo thanks to his high resistance and his personal tome's effects. Sorcerer also makes Leo more magically proficient, but unlike Strategist, it gives him additionalcrit. Sorcerer can greatly enhance his combat by allowing him to ORKO more enemies, but it sacrifices Dark Knight's other utilities, mainly its highmovement and superior bulk. As a Sorcerer, Leo learnsVengeance andBowbreaker. Vengeance raises the user's damage base on how much damage he has taken, along with the damage he would deal normally. While Vengeance is a bit unreliable and risky to use, it can be a decent skill to keep on Leo for powerful combinations with Lifetaker. Bowbreaker is not particularly helpful on Leo as he already hasweapon triangle advantage over bow users to begin with, although it can serve as a situational check againstTakumi on theConquest route.
Between his own statline and his sonForrest, Leo heavily desires support partners that can give him Magic and Speed. ForFriendship Seal partners,Niles gives +5 speed as anAdventurer at C support, and will give him theOutlaw class tree. Both classes won't be good as final classes due to Leo being unable to use Brynhildr, but they can be used temporarily if one chooses for useful utility skills likeLocktouch,Movement +1,Lucky 7, andPass from Adventurer. FromBow Knight, the main skill he would want isShurikenbreaker to have a greater shot at avoiding pesky shuriken attacks, especially from theInevitable EndMaster Ninjas andMaids in the lategame ofConquest Lunatic.Camilla doesn't give him much speed, but she'll be more useful being next to him to activateRose's Thorns, and she can build support with him just entering combat with him on a tag team for her to use dual strikes. While theWyvern Rider class doesn't look too good,Malig Knight is great for him since he will be able to use Brynhildr, andSavage Blow andTrample are worthy skills for any unit to use. OnRevelation,Takumi gives +3 speed at C support, and +4 speed all other support levels, and gives him theArcher class tree, where skills likeSkill +2,Certain Blow, andAir Superiority can help fix any accuracy issues he may have, andQuick Draw gives him some extra damage on player phase. On the S support side,Felicia andNyx both make excellent wives for him on theConquest route owing to their good pair-up bonuses that synergize well with him and with Forrest; Nyx provides +8 Mag, +2 Spd, and +3 Res as a Sorcerer while Felicia provides +3 Mag, +5 Spd, +3 Lck, and +2 Res as aMaid and joins shortly after he does if Corrin is male. On theRevelation route, he can marrySakura, who serves as an absolutely beautiful fit for him. She grants him +5 Mag, +6 Spd, +1 Lck, and +1 Res as anOnmyoji and gives him access to the Onmyoji class itself, which providesTomefaire and boosts the damage of his trademark Brynhildr.
Overall, Leo is a solid all-around unit that struggles on finding a particular area he is good in aside from countering enemy magic users. Because his bases and growths are not focused on one particular area he can be left behind by other units that are more potent in areas such as speed or magic. He also cannot reliably double without stat-boosting items or pair ups, and he can also be one-shot by units with effective weaponry such as theKitsune. While this may lead to Leo seeming mediocre, he is not bad in any particular area either, giving him good utility and this gives him the role of patching up the weaknesses of certain teams. As such Leo is useful on most teams and can be seen as a "failsafe" in case other units are not up to snuff and will likely be one of the armies premiere magic users in bothConquest andRevelation.

Personality
Unlike Xander, Leo excels in magic and wields the sacred tome Brynhildr. He is exceptionally smart and can plan for any situation with ease. Instead of spending time outside, he sits inside to study. Like his siblings, he is bitter about the fact he was born to gain his mother favor in King Garon's eyes. His childhood as a pawn for his mother led to him growing a cold exterior, though he does occasionally openly express love for his siblings and retainers. According to Xander, Leo is exceptionally talented and could even easily surpass Xander himself with enough training, though Leo usually holds himself in low regard, possibly developing an inferiority complex because of his childhood.
Leo longs for attention from his older siblings, Camilla in particular. He believes that he is too capable, leading to others to dote on Corrin. Despite his jealousy of the attention Corrin receives, he does not resent Corrin for this.
Leo is quite ruthless towards those he hates. He executes Iago inBirthright andConquest and kills Zola inConquest andRevelation for their cowardly actions and attempting to beg for their lives. Corrin finds Leo's satisfaction at killing deeply disturbing, but Leo says he considers that some people deserve to die and that their actions led to that point. Leo often shows a calmness while killing.
Like Takumi, he feels inferior to his older brother. Xander's skill with the sword led to Leo choosing magic as his specialty, to distance himself from Xander's skills, though even so he still feels inferior to him.
InRevelation, Leo and Takumi initially get into disputes with each other due to their birthplaces. As the two continue to interact with each other, they realize they share quite a few hobbies and interests, and develop a friendship.
He likes tomatoes the most out of the army.

Here's Leo, the second-eldest prince of Nohr! He's making a rare beachwear appearance for his vacation on a tropical island. | In fact, he's just arrived at the beach wearing this black swimsuit...as well as a long, hooded cloak worn over it. He must be worried about getting a sunburn! | Or maybe he just wants to spend his time at the beach catching up on some reading. I see that the book he's holding has a tomato, his favorite food, on the cover—is it a collection of cultivars for tomato enthusiasts? Wait, is that a tome?! | Leo isn't one for hot weather and sunny locales, but it'd be a shame to let this vacation go to waste. Come on, Leo, it's time to unwind! | ||||||||||

The Nohrian prince Leo is a talented mage who's known for his cold, ruthless demeanor and his merciless attacks on his enemies. | In other words, he's not the first person I'd peg for a picnic fan. He seemed a bit reluctant about it at first, but when the day finally came... Well, I guess something won him over. | He's made some odd choices for his lunch, though—it's practically nothing but tomatoes! I mean, he did say that he loves tomatoes, but this seems a little extreme. | So, what's waiting in the wings for Leo at the end of this surprise picnic? I can't wait to find out! | ||||||||||

Leo's coming to join the Day of Devotion festivities—and it looks like he's pulled out all the stops for his festival outfit! | Here he is, wearing a sleek black tuxedo accessorized with an eye-catching navy-blue cape! The cherry-blossom clasp on his cape is such a wonderful contrast you can't stand it, can you? | He's also equipped with a decorated bow adorned with Hoshidan cherry blossoms and Nohrian roses. It even has a ribbon embroidered with the crests of the two kingdoms! | For this year's festival, Leo's added a touch of glamor to his usual effortless cool. I'm sure this new side of him will attract a lot of fans! | ||||||||||

Leo is the second-eldest prince of Nohr. Invited by Takumi, his counterpart prince from Hoshido, he's here to attend the summer festival! | Leo claims that this is the first time he's ever worn a yukata, but I think he wears it splendidly! Apparently, that mask he has askew depicts a wolfskin. | Ah... I see that tub filled with icy water has plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers floating on top! Not only can they be used to fend off hunger, but they can also be used to fend off his foes if the situation calls for it! | Leo has also tried his hand at performing a Hoshidan dance. I'm sure that'll be a summer-festival scene to remember! | ||||||||||

What do we have here, a lost boy? Wait, something tells me that's the second prince of Nohr...meaning that this can only be Leo in his childhood! | When he was a child, Leo sometimes wore his clothes inside-out by mistake. Fortunately, he's avoided that pitfall today, and even his cape is on the right way around! | It was already clear at this age that Leo was a prodigy when it came to magic. Here, he's masterfully wielding a tome imbued with the War God's power! | But most of all, he's totally adorable. Oh, and apparently he hates being treated like a child. Sorry, Leo! | ||||||||||
