Leon can be aย ratherย tricky character to play inย Brawl Stars, but with the best build and a bit of practice, he can be a force to reckon with. The hard part is getting used to his health pool, which is decent, but heโs no tank. Run in guns blazing, and youโre liable to get put down before you can even do anything. For that reason, you want to focus on improving Leonโs already exceptional damage.

Best Solo Build for Leon
When the chips are down and itโs you against nine other players, the best Leon build looks like this:
- Gadget: Clone Projector
- Gear Slot 1: Damage
- Star Power: Invisiheal
- Gear Slot 2: Damage
Clone Projector is incredibly frustrating for your opponents, as well as being on the receiving end. Not only is it very useful for baiting your opponent into wasting a bullet or two, itโs equally useful for escaping death. You have three charges of Clone Projector, too!

Best Lily Build in Brawl StarsDamage gear in both slots may sound like overkill, but Leonโsย damage is already impressive, so this just ensures your opponent wonโt stick around long enough to retaliate. However, swapping one of the slots for Speed is also acceptable to compound Leonโs movement speed and Lingering Smoke to stay invisible for two seconds longer.
Youโll likely catch a stray bulletย here and there, and Leonโs health is finite. Invisiheal is a requirement here, letting you regain health whenever you use yourย super,ย Smoke Bomb. Itโs like getting a second wind in the middle of a fight, topping your health off for the next duel.
Best Leon Builds for 3v3 and 5v5
If youโre playing with a few buddies, Leon can actually be a reliable support/assassin hybrid by making some slight changes to the solo build:
- Gadget: Lollipop Drop
- Gear Slot 1: Damage
- Star Power: Invisiheal
- Gear Slot 2: Gadget Charge
Lollipop Drop is essentially Smoke Bomb, but for your entire teamย andย youย get three charges (four, if you count the extra use from Gadget Charge). This lets you set up a vicious ambush against the opposing team. Iโve seen itย time and time again; itโs quite the effective strategy.
The additional gear charge from Gadget Charge isnโt a hard and fast rule. You have teammates now, so the extra damage isnโt necessary. As an alternative, either go with Lingering Smoke or another Damage gear if your team is confident they can land their shots.
