Leonardo Da Vinci is arguably one of the most iconic artists in our history with some of his work surviving even to this day. The AFK Arena version of this person should be as interesting as the real one as well.

Before we proceed, you should take a look at our previous guide for the previous character Haelus.

Appearance

Leonardo Da Vinci pretty much looks like his real life counterpart or at least what we are told that he looks like anyway.

As a person with knowledge and wisdom, it comes as no surprise that this new character is an intelligent based mage character. He is also the third dimensional hero in AFK Arena that is not limited.

Lore

As a child, he got fascinated by the way birds fly. He then dedicated his whole life to replicate the ability to fly but all his attempts are nothing but failures. 

His dedication didn’t fade at all until on his deathbed that he realized that his ideas and creations were way too ahead of his time.

Abilities

Work of Art – Leonardo creates a work of art on his canvas and deals 250% damage to all enemies that were splashed with paint, locking them in a portrait frame, paralyzing them for 8 seconds. 

This ability can only be triggered when there are enemies currently splashed with paint on the battlefield. 

Damage is increased to 270% at hero level 81

Damage is increased to 300% at hero level 161

Art Attack – Leonardo flings paint at a random enemy, dealing 160% damage to them, covering them in paint for 12 seconds. The enemy covered in paint has their Tenacity reduced by 10 points and their Dodge reduced by 120 points. 

This ability prioritizes targets that are not currently covered in paint.

Enemies that are struck are also stunned for 3 seconds at hero level 201.

Evacuation (Passive) – Each time Leonardo receives close-range damage that is more than 10% of his max health, he launches his seat into the air, carrying himself away from the nearby enemies to land in the safest area of the battlefield. This effect can be triggered once every 10 seconds. 

When Leonardo launches into the air, enemies within a certain radius will be dealt 220% damage and lose 40 Haste points for 5 seconds.

Affected enemies lose 60 Haste points at hero level 141.

This effect can be triggered once every 8 seconds at hero level 221.

Tips for using Leonardo Da Vinci

• Leonardo can deal massive amounts of damage so make sure to keep him alive by putting him in a better position in your party.
• His 9/9 furniture set bonus is a really massive buff for his ability’ Work of Art’ that it gives nearly an additional half more damage than the original.
• Leonardo is also good at debuffing the enemies and inflicting long duration stuns.
• Leonardo has 2 group crowd control skills that can control the entire enemy team if used correctly. His abilities work well with other crown control characters so a CC heavy comp is really a good party for him.
