Leif’s Emblem Ring is in the hands of Clanne, a Dragon butler protect the Dragon God. Leif is a resourceful fighter who can use any weapon and pairs well with any physical warrior. He can cover the battlefield thanks to being able to use a bow along with swords, spears, and axes.
Leif’s Link skill is “Vital Shift.” It’s a passive defense skill that reduces damage when the paired unit has a weapon advantage over the attacker. The “Killer Ax” is his Link Weapon, a giant ax that allows the paired unit to deliver critical hits with ease. “Adaptive” is the name of his Engagement Skill, and it allows Leif to automatically change his weapon to something more beneficial. For example, Leif’s unit will change to spear if the enemy is using sword, ax if the enemy is using spear, etc. When attacked from ranged units, he will switch to priority counterattack. “Trick Tetra” is Leif’s Engage Attack, and it consists of a series of attacks with swords, spears, axes, and bows, with a high ability to destroy enemies. When a unit using Martial Arts executes this attack, it will also shatter the opponent.
