How Leader Skills Work
Place a unit with a Leader Skill in the first team slot. All allies matching the leader's category receive the listed buff for the entire battle. Leaders do not need to attack to provide the buff.
- Only slot 1 activates the leader buff.
- Category matching matters — Sword, King, Captain, Rivals, Brawler, and Villain are common tags.
- Some leaders also have personal passives that stack on top of the team buff.
Best Leaders by Mode
Different game modes reward different leader categories. Nature Tower restricts passives, so leaders with raw stat buffs outperform complex passive chains.
| Unit | Leader Buff | Best Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Asota (Devil) | Sword allies +15% DMG | Story / Black Clover |
| Jolios (King) | King allies +20% Crit DMG | Tower 1700+ |
| Black Bull | Captain allies +15% Crit | Secret Boss / Crit teams |
| Yono (Star) | Rivals allies +20% Max HP | Boss cleanup |
| Flame Lion | Brawler allies +10% DMG | Nature Tower |
| Crimson King | Villain allies +15% DMG | AoE wave clear |
Tower META Leaders
The current Tower 1700+ meta centers on Jolios (King) for revival and crit scaling, paired with Aizen and Black Bull for crit chance stacking. This trio reduces RNG and sustains through deep floors.
- Jolios revives once when defeated — critical for long Tower runs.
- Black Bull's Captain crit buff synergizes with Sound Breather Master.
- Gojin doubles DoT effects for sustained damage on endurance floors.
Quick Tips
- • Match your leader category to your team's strongest tag.
- • In Nature Tower, Flame Lion and Tatsumaki outperform generic leaders.
- • Do not chase a leader unit before you have a stable DPS core.
- • Reroll traits on your leader last — buffs matter more than personal DPS.
