Not sure what others are thinking, but the original is pretty useless. The costumed version is vital though. The defense down for yellow makes cLeo great for Titans as well as boosting other yellow heroes that hit 3 or more. Only problem with cLeo is his squishiness, but going defense route would lower titan damage. Sure you can use the gJackal, but cLeo’s 850 defense with emblems vs 666 on an LB+Emblemed jackal is significant especially with 14* titans. Jackal does do more damage, so if you don’t mine resurrecting him, that may be your choice. cLeo is better for raids. cLeo to soften 3 of them up then Peñolite to wipe them off the board is a nice combination.

Nice feedback!
His 2nd costme would solve the squishiness and cLeo would be a great addition to a yellow team!

[JAWS_3D]

Yeah, an improvement over Jackal but still squishy. Pics of sword path for those that are interested. Almost took the defense at node 11. Ran out of ham but he’ll go to +18 for the extra attack.

now maybe in a year or two I’ll see the second costume
