Final Fantasy Discovery

Here are a few more of Leon's Paradigms...

Chivalry: Protects allies who are low on HP from physical attacks. This Paradigm is essential in maximizing Leon's ability to tank for the party when used in conjunction with abilities like Guardian and Sentinel, or Relics that automatically apply status conditions like Protect and Shell.

Divine Blessing: Leon's physical attack restores some MP. This Paradigm is very useful for those who like to use Leon offensively, keeping his MP up so he can continually use his Holy Arts abilities. Protection from the Drain element has no effect on this Paradigm.

Two-Handed: Increases the damage dealt by physical attacks, Judgment Blade, Hallowed Bolt, Crush Armor and Saint's Cross by 50%. Leon cannot perform critical hits while using this Paradigm.

Indomitable: Changes Leon's Guardian command ability to Sentinel. This command is invaluable against enemies who rely on physical attacks, as it gives Leon an 80% reduction in damage received while holding the stance and guarantees a counter-attack when he's targeted by a physical attack.

Unbreakable Will: Leon has a 50% chance to avoid most negative status conditions while using this Paradigm. Using this Paradigm when facing enemies that like to use debilitating status conditions frees up his Relic slots for more choices.

Warrior of Light: Healing items and spells used on Leon restore 25% more HP.

Holy Spirit: While using this Paradigm, Leon is immune to Dark-elemental damage, and will absorb Holy-elemental damage. It also gives the effects of two Relics in one, without the use of a Relic slot. PROTIP: Pairing him with Dajh or Vicks while using this Paradigm can give the party non-conventional healing methods by targeting Leon with Holy-elemental spells for a fraction of the MP cost of big healing spells like Curaga.


NOTE: Leon has two more Paradigms not listed here. Good luck unlocking them all!

Leon is going to be a solid choice for solo Battle Arena fights. Sentinel will pretty much let him sit there and slaughter enemies, so long as the Battle Slots don't ruin his life too much.

And FFD's are way more unforgiving than FF7's, with the only exception being that Half HP doesn't stack in FFD.
