Verdict

Leeho is the launch SR Fire Slayer melee and the cleanest single-target burst kit in the SR pool. His Passive (Hunter) marks Switch-attacked enemies with Prey Mark — lowering their Fire RES. Holding BA charges Flash Spear: a piercing spear throw that, when it hits a Prey Marked enemy, removes the mark + grants Tiger Hunter. Tiger Hunter enhances his BA for huge Fire DMG ticks and ends with a ground-strike finisher.

His Special (Commence Hunt) charges + spear stab + spinning slash; press again for a Net throw that drags enemies in. His Tag-out triggers Support Skill on teammate Special — Leeho drops from above for Fire DMG + Fire Affliction, then enters Hunting Stance. Tagging back in during Hunting Stance unleashes Blazing Flash (powerful AoE Fire DMG + Prey Mark spread). His Ultimate (Crimson Meteor) is a soar + slam — big Fire DMG + Affliction in a target zone.

Pull-priority: standard pool, signature SR Fire Slayer artifact (Tiger Hunter's Resolve — named exactly after his Tiger Hunter buff state, perfect synergy). Skip if you already own Mina + Flare; he becomes the third Fire slot. Pull if you have Mina (Brawler) and want a melee Slayer burst partner with single-target focus.

  • Story / AdventureASingle-target charged BA + Prey Mark debuff melts story bosses. Trash waves take longer because the kit lacks AoE outside Special / Net.
  • Conquest / BossesSSingle-target Fire burst + Prey Mark Fire RES debuff is the cleanest boss-killer loop in the SR Fire pool.
  • Stagger / BurstBFire Affliction on Tag-out (via Support) + Ult helps Mountain Peak + Hahnul's Roar payoffs. Not a stagger main.
  • Endgame / RiftsABehind Mina or Flare he provides a second Fire burst line. Strong second-Fire pull for mono-Fire Conquest.
  • F2P-friendlyAStandard banner pull. Tiger Hunter's Resolve SR signature craftable, Mountain Peak Majesty SR Fire set craftable.

Strengths

  • Tiger Hunter's Resolve signature artifact is named after his buff state — Fire-attack BA stacking matches his charged-BA rotation perfectly.
  • Prey Mark debuffs target's Fire RES — direct boss damage amp for the entire team's Fire DMG.
  • Tiger Hunter buff state enhances BA for big Fire DMG ticks — clean stack-and-pop loop without complex management.
  • Support Skill triggers on teammate Special — passive contribution to any Fire team via Hunting Stance + Blazing Flash on swap-back-in.
  • Charged Flash Spear pierces all enemies in front — line-clear single-cast that also removes Prey Mark + procs Tiger Hunter.
  • C6 (Ferocity Unleashed) makes Prey Mark -10% additional Fire RES + Flash Spear re-applies Prey Mark on hit enemies — sustained team-wide Fire RES debuff at endgame.

Weaknesses

  • Melee in a kit that demands close-range Flash Spear hits — Leeho takes boss damage other ranged Fire Slayers (Angel) avoid.
  • Prey Mark only triggered by Switch Attack — requires Tag-in or Support Skill swap to apply. Solo Leeho rotations lose half his damage shape.
  • Charged Flash Spear takes hold time — punished by mobile bosses that move during the charge. Use C5 (Support Skill CD -4.5%) for tighter rotation.
  • Outshone by Mina + Flare for pure Fire DPS once you own them. Leeho is the second Fire slot, not the lead.
  • Tiger Hunter duration is short — if you cannot chain BAs cleanly, the buff window closes before max damage is realized.
  • No team buff like Angel's C4 spread — Leeho amps his own damage via Prey Mark, but does not pass damage buffs to teammates outside Fire RES debuff.
The short version

Best gear

Leeho's recommended artifact + equipment set, with farmable alternates for F2P.

Signature artifactBISTiger Hunter's ResolveSR Slayer signature. Named after his Tiger Hunter buff. Landing a Fire attack stacks +2% BA / Switch DMG (max 5 = +10%) with a -10% Special DMG offset — net positive for his BA-heavy Tiger Hunter rotation. Themed exactly to his charged-BA Fire identity. Craftable, SR. The defining piece.
Equipment setBISMountain Peak Majesty (4-piece)SR Fire set. 2pc -3% target Fire RES for 5s on Tag-out — fires on every Support Skill swap. 4pc +5% Fire DMG on attacking a Fire-Afflicted enemy — Leeho self-applies Affliction via Support Skill + Ult. Stacks directly with Prey Mark for a total -8% to -18% Fire RES (depending on C6 stacking). Craftable.

Alternates

  • Hahnul's Roar (4-piece) — SSR Fire set. 2pc +10% Fire DMG on Ult, 4pc +10% Crit DMG vs Fire-Afflicted. Ceiling option if you own SSR shards. Both 4pc and Mountain Peak 4pc are viable — pick Hahnul if your team has high Affliction uptime, Mountain if you prioritise Tag-out swap cadence.
  • Sinister Darkness — SR Slayer alternate artifact — Special grants +5% BA DMG, BA crit grants Ult DMG. Generic option without Fire gate; loses Tiger Hunter's Resolve thematic + Fire DMG stacking. Avoid in Fire teams.
  • Shadow Lotus — SR Slayer alternate — Support Skill grants Assault (Lightning DMG + Crit Rate). Wrong element (Lightning). Avoid.
How the kit works

Kit overview

Five abilities. Prey Mark debuffs the target; Flash Spear consumes the mark for Tiger Hunter.

  1. SpecialCommence Hunt11.8s CD · Gauge 464

    Charges at enemy + spear stab + spinning slash for Fire DMG. Press again within the window to throw a Net — drags hit enemies in. Use the Net to cluster trash before the Flash Spear / Ult.

  2. Basic AttackWild SpearGauge 160

    Spear stabs / slashes for Physical DMG. Holding BA charges Flash Spear — piercing throw for Fire DMG. If target has Prey Mark, Flash Spear removes the mark + grants Tiger Hunter (enhanced BA Fire DMG).

  3. PassiveHunter

    Switch Attack inflicts Prey Mark — lowers target's Fire RES. Prey Mark is the team-wide Fire amp. Refresh via Tag-in or Support Skill swap.

  4. Tag-InA Whopper!Gauge 800

    Tag-in: Net throw + pull + Prey Mark on hit enemies (when controlled). Support Skill: on teammate Special, Leeho descends + Fire DMG + Fire Affliction + enters Hunting Stance. Swap to Leeho during Hunting Stance for Blazing Flash (AoE Fire DMG + Prey Mark spread).

  5. UltimateCrimson Meteor3 charges

    Soars + targets location + slams for powerful Fire DMG + Fire Affliction. Use to open burst windows; the skill is single-target focus, so position the slam on the boss.

Dupes / Canto

Canto priority

C2 is the BA amp. C4 is the Tiger Hunter ceiling. C6 caps Prey Mark stacking.

Canto value (in order)

  • C2 — Unyielding Spirit — BA 4th Hit applies Prey Mark to all hit enemies (when controlled) + Enhanced BA during Tiger Hunter grants +10% BA DMG (3s, refreshable). Major personal DPS amp. Top priority.
  • C4 — Awakened Instinct — Tiger Hunter duration +2s + Enhanced BA total DMG +30% + range increases on 1st/2nd Hit. End-of-curve ceiling — major BA scaling.
  • C1 — Tiger Hunter's Instinct — Special's Net inflicts Prey Mark on all hit enemies. Massive QoL for AoE Prey Mark spread. Pull-priority second jump.
  • C6 — Ferocity Unleashed — Prey Mark Fire RES debuff -10% additional + Flash Spear re-applies Prey Mark on hit enemies. Cap on team-wide Fire RES debuff. Niche — only chase with free dupes.
  • C3 / C5 — flat statsticks — +2 skill levels + minor BA / Support CD reduction. Pickup between meaningful jumps.
On-field play

How to play him — Tiger Hunter rotation

Five steps. Apply Prey Mark, charge Flash Spear, dump Tiger Hunter enhanced BAs.

  • 1. Tag-In (A Whopper!) to apply Prey Mark — Net throw + pull + Prey Mark on hit enemies. The cleanest single-cast way to mark the boss. Triggers Hunter passive.
  • 2. Special (Commence Hunt) for damage + Net cluster — Spear stab + spinning slash. Press again for Net — clusters trash and additionally Prey-Marks them with C1. Generates Ult gauge fast.
  • 3. Charge Flash Spear (hold BA) into a Prey Marked enemy — Charge time = the skill check. Holds the boss + pierces for Fire DMG. Removes Prey Mark + grants Tiger Hunter buff. Now your BA hits like a truck.
  • 4. Enhanced BA chain during Tiger Hunter window — Tiger Hunter enhances BA for Fire DMG. Tag-out at the END of Tiger Hunter for the ground-strike finisher. C4 extends the window +2s.
  • 5. Ultimate (Crimson Meteor) for the burst slam — Soar + targeted slam — powerful Fire DMG + Fire Affliction. Use on bosses to open burst windows. Stack with Prey Mark + Tiger Hunter for max payoff.
Investment by profile

Should you pull / invest?

Decide based on your existing Fire team and preference for melee burst vs. ranged amp.

Beginner / new player

Yes if you do not own Mina or Flare. Leeho's charged-BA rotation is more readable than Angel's auto-proc loop. Tiger Hunter's Resolve craftable, Mountain Peak craftable. Build with ATK % main + Fire DMG substats + Crit DMG.

F2P / low spend

Strong pull target. All best gear craftable. Push C1 (Net = Prey Mark spread) + C2 (BA 4th Hit Prey Mark + Enhanced BA boost) for transformative QoL. C0 functional but flat without these.

Invested / dolphin

C2 first (Unyielding Spirit). C1 second (Net Prey Mark spread). C4 for Tiger Hunter ceiling. C6 for max team-wide Fire RES debuff. Skip C3 / C5 unless free dupes.

Endgame / theory-crafter

Run Mina + Leeho + Francis for the launch SR/SSR Fire core: Mina leads melee Brawler, Leeho swap-bursts with Tiger Hunter enhanced BA + Prey Mark Fire RES amp, Francis covers heal. Or Flare + Leeho + Angel for pure-Fire triple-DPS — but you lose the melee Brawler frontline.

Quick answers

FAQ

Is Leeho worth pulling at launch?
Yes if you do not own Mina, OR if you have Mina and want a second melee Fire burst with Prey Mark Fire RES amp. Skip if you already have Mina + Flare + Angel.
What is Leeho's best artifact?
Tiger Hunter's Resolve (SR Slayer signature). Named after his Tiger Hunter buff. +2% BA / Switch DMG per Fire attack stack (max 5 = +10%) with a -10% Special DMG offset. Net positive for his BA-heavy rotation.
What is Leeho's best equipment set?
Mountain Peak Majesty 4-piece (SR Fire). 2pc -3% target Fire RES on Tag-out (fires on Support Skill swap), 4pc +5% Fire DMG vs Fire-Afflicted enemies. Stacks with Prey Mark for huge team Fire RES debuff.
How does Prey Mark work?
Leeho's Hunter passive applies Prey Mark to enemies hit by his Switch Attack — lowers their Fire RES, amps the entire team's Fire damage. Charged Flash Spear (hold BA) removes Prey Mark on hit + grants Leeho the Tiger Hunter buff (enhanced BA Fire DMG). The loop: Mark → Flash Spear → Tiger Hunter → BA chain.
Which Canto should I prioritise for Leeho?
C2 (Unyielding Spirit) first — BA 4th Hit applies Prey Mark + Enhanced BA +10% DMG. C1 (Tiger Hunter's Instinct) second — Net inflicts Prey Mark for AoE spread. C4 for Tiger Hunter ceiling. C6 for max Fire RES debuff. Skip C3 / C5 unless free dupes.
How do I play Leeho in a boss fight?
Tag-in (Net throw + Prey Mark). Special (Commence Hunt) for damage + Net cluster. Charge Flash Spear (hold BA) into the Prey Marked boss — removes mark + grants Tiger Hunter. Enhanced BA chain during Tiger Hunter window. Ultimate (Crimson Meteor) for soar + slam burst. Support Skill swap (during teammate Special) triggers Blazing Flash AoE on tag-back-in.
Should I stack ATK or Crit on Leeho?
ATK % main + Fire DMG substats + Crit DMG. Enhanced BA during Tiger Hunter benefits massively from Crit DMG. Tiger Hunter's Resolve stacks scale off Fire DMG % substats.
Leeho vs. Angel for second Fire Slayer?
Leeho = melee single-target burst + Prey Mark Fire RES debuff team amp. Angel = ranged off-field auto-proc + sustained Fire Affliction. Pick Leeho for melee comps with strong frontline; pick Angel for ranged-heavy comps. Cannot run both in most teams.
Can I play Leeho F2P?
Yes. Tiger Hunter's Resolve and Mountain Peak Majesty both craftable. C1 + C2 are the make-or-break Cantos — pull standard banner. Solid F2P Fire Slayer melee pick.
What is Hunting Stance and Blazing Flash?
After Leeho's Support Skill fires (teammate Special trigger), he enters Hunting Stance for a set duration. Swapping TO Leeho during Hunting Stance unleashes Blazing Flash — powerful AoE Fire DMG + Prey Mark on hit enemies. This is the team-amp swap window — coordinate with your main Fire DPS's Special timing.
