»So what ability combo would you recommend for Leon? Life Siphom+Dark Bargain? Or how about Knights Charge RM+Sanguine Cross+LifeSiphon?
Hard to say, heres the thing, Leon's SSB grants him sentinel, thats +200% def + taunt. Dark Bargain grants -30% def. Kind of a weird combo there, but it should still work out in your favor I would think. Just remember Leon is going to be taking a lot of the blunt dmg with sentinel, so make sure hes up to that task.
If you want to utilize his SSB with Sentinel, I would say Life siphon/Dark Bargain + Knights Charge RM will do that for you.
I don't think Sanguine Cross is really adequate for Leon, if you ever plan to use his SSB. The last thing you want to do is chunk 25% of your HP and draw fire on to that character. I mean Im sure there are ways to work around that, but why give the boss more RNG to make your life harder.
You can still use Saint Cross + D.Bargain, I think Saint Cross R2 + D.Bargain R4 + Ace Striker, would suffice. This would allow you at least 2 gauges for your SSB.
The difference between ace striker and Knights charge will be depending on when you use your SSB and if you're using life siphon.
**With Life siphon for SSB , 3 uses or 2 + 1 ability/getting hit with Ace striker.
3 uses or 2 + 2 abilities or 2 hits or 1ab/1hit with Knights.
**No life siphon for SSB, 6 uses of an ability or 5 abilities + 1 hit, or 4 abilities + 3 hits with Ace striker.
7 abilities or 6 + 1 hit, 5 + 3 hits with Knights.
