Is leogeist valuable. How many hits does it take before cresendo strike does critical damage ?
It takes a lot, I think about 12 hits before it one shots stuff. Usually you have to set it up to make it work as a sweeper.
It’s valuable but the value comes more as support than sweeper. Think of it like an upgraded stun absorber rather than a sweeper.
Is it worth it? Only if you have a few decent legends already. If you do then yes, it’s definitely worth it
Buckingham is spot on. Leogeist is one of the strongest support monsters out there which can be set up in a large varieties of ways. However, without setup it is very much mediocre and you need a good pool of legendaries first.
One of the greatest strategies which can be created with it is where you backstab through your team (after stunning the enemy team) to form a sleep lock, protector and Leogeist. Here the idea is you keep your team protected from damage with the protector, stun protected with Leogeist plus control the enemy monsters with the sleep lock. You can give yourself time to charge up Leogeist with the sleep lock and it becomes your sweeper.
TL;dr Solid legendary with great long-term use for the combos it can form but not one for newer players.
It can be okay with new players, it just takes a while to get going. His biggest weakness by far is chrono killers. If a Searguard or Chromera even sets foot on the field, Leogeist goes poof if it’s not protected. Cyclozar, Raizen and Delugazar all pose a big threat too, so keep that thing protected.
