Leonar, the Legendary Hero

This page may contain spoilers regarding Broken Aether.

Leonar is an exclusive character who serves as a straightforward physical damage dealer. His skill set is built around high-impact physical attacks with minimal setup, allowing him to contribute significant burst damage in encounters that reward direct offensive pressure. His design emphasizes raw power and simplicity over complex mechanics or resource-driven scaling.

Leonar functions most effectively when supported by party compositions that enhance physical damage, increase offensive stats, or provide sustain to compensate for his focus on output rather than defense or utility. His role is largely centered on dealing consistent and immediate damage rather than fulfilling hybrid or support-oriented functions.

Strengths

• Insanely high damage output potential.

• Fourth highest HP.

• Highest AGI.

• Has access to exclusive battle buffs with infinite duration.

• Doesn't rely on a lot of setups like other characters.

Weaknesses

• Mostly single target damage.

• Relies on the Pump It Up skill to get the most value of his kit.

• His infinite battle buffs are only applied to himself.

Baseline

• Weakness Bite: deals physical damage based on the amount of debuffs applied on the target. Consumes all Bite Marks on the target.

• Tail Sweep: deals area of effect physical damage and recovers 50 TP.

• Hero's Punch: It deals increased damage based on the amount of buffs Leonar.

• Champion's Cheer: skills cost 50% TP (10% when maxed) until the end of the battle.

• Iron Body: decrease all physical damage taken by 20% until the end of the battle.

Class Abilities

• Counter Attack: from Monk. Has a chance of countering a Physical Attack.

• HP Sacrifice: from Vampire. A passive skill where you lose 5% of your HP but deal 5% more damage (up to 15% when maxed).

Crystals

• ATK Up.

• HP Drain: very straightforward. The amount seems to scale with damage done, so the harder you hit, the more you heal.

Leonar differs from other characters in how he acquires skills. Instead of using Grimoire Shards, he progresses through Hero’s Medals, which unlock his action abilities. Unlike most characters, he begins with all passive abilities and stat upgrades already unlocked, allowing his development to focus primarily on selecting and enhancing active combat skills rather than stat allocation.

Since his kit is centered on direct physical offense, the abilities he unlocks through Hero’s Medals emphasize straightforward, high-impact attacks and self-enhancement effects. His progression encourages choosing abilities that reinforce damage output and enable consistent performance in encounters that reward strong single-target pressure.

Class Emblems can further define his offensive specialization, supporting either raw attack scaling, hybrid stat growth, or broader frontline durability. Different emblem paths allow him to function as a pure damage dealer or shift toward more resilient configurations depending on party composition and encounter demands.

Leonar can also make use of equipment that enhances physical damage output or supplements his attack mechanics. Some equipment options apply additional effects to physical attacks or increase offensive attributes, providing flexibility in how he is configured for late-game encounters.
