Hey everyone! My Stalker Guide was a huge success, so I wanted to do one for another older bot: Leo. Now most people think that Leo can't be used in higher leagues. And they're right. But this time the guide is for around Silver League players. Leo is very popular and fun in around that league, so I wanted to make a guide to show people how to play it well and shred other players, even ones using Leos. Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tank
Leo is a tank, no doubt about it. I has extremely high health for the league its used in. But it's also very slow. To get around that, use Leo after a few beacons have been captured: don't start with it. If you wait for some beacons, you can easily spawn closer to center and fighting. Otherwise it could take you three times as long then if you do to get to the same location. Use a fast bot like a Gepard or Stalker to cap the beacon closest to where you wan to spawn, then drop into you're Leo.
Weaponry
Leo can have lots of firepower with a heavy weapon slot and three light weapon slots. Use a Thunder and Pinatas or something to go close range. Use an Avenger and Punishers to go medium close range. Use a sniper weapon and Noctoriums or Aphids to go long range. Or you can use a mix to be prepared for any situations. Leo can have countless uses in a match (Don't go beacon caper though) Choose weapons appropriately.
Modules
Leo has an Active and Passive module slot, and it's the first silver robot you can get that does. Use a Death Mask active module and a Thermonuclear Reactor for the Passive module to do lots o damage. Use a Amor Kit and use Phase Shift to reduce the damage you take to last as long as possible. Or use a mix. Use modules suited to what you want to use Leo for.
Pilots
Leo, like all bots, can have a pilot. Use the pilot as a damage booster with abilities like Raider skills, or use it like a healing booster with things like Mechanic skills. Leo can be effective with most skills, because of its many uses. You can always save gold and pick random, and know that pretty much what ever you get with be helpful!
Camping
Leo is a effective camper: use it to guard important beacons and points that you want you're team to control. Hopefully you're team will see you and come to help you. In one epic match my team had three Leo and Fujin, and we kept the beacon with the Fujins shield and the Leos firepower. Try to camp only if you have every beacon you want: your teams beacon, The middle, and your teams other beacon, then camp on beacons that are being attacked.
Know Your Limits
Know when to stop. Leo is tanky, but don't just take fire because you can: Go to cover while you reload or recharge weapons. You don't want to take damage if you don't have to. And don't stand up to titans: let other higher leveled teammates face them. You can help by taking out other bots or by damaging the titan indirectly. You're more helpful alive then dead. And don't jump into fights just because. You can still be killed by other tanks.

I know I gave some advice for weapons and modules and uses, but as I said in my Stalker guide, only you know what you want to accomplish with your Leo. And by using a Leo, the possibilities are endless! So have fun with it, mix up sniper and close range weapons to find fun uses for your bot, and most importantly have F U N !
