Fighting Style
Leon Winston has shared most of Palm Misaki's quick motions in terms of different weapon moveset, where he does quick swings and flashy footwork. However, his attacks are arguably more crowd wiping like Palm's, making him one of the more solid characters in the game. His wheeled halberd can inflict multi hits per swing even in the third attack or more. But his speed is fast like Palm does and also higher combo rating and better attack range like other characters.

His Musou Attacks are crowd wiping moves with multiple hits, making it a most effective musou attacks in the game despite using his Burst Attack.

One of his only weaknesses are low Intellect and Vitality ratings and health stat and can easily be overrun by crowds especially higher difficulties than Normal if the player is not careful. To counter the low defense stat, the player must increase the defense rate by equipping armors and accessories with increase defense rate as well as increasing health rate by further.
