So beware of this hero when he becomes fed because it could get dangerous once he gets going.Leomord has these affinities for his overview. His durability is high and way above average which is very understandable for a fighter like him which can be proven with his one of his abilities that has a shield. Also, he can be durable since he can escape with mobility and his ultimate just does that as well. His offensive capabilities can deal quite a punch after all, his skills deal a lot of damage and going all-in against him is a bad idea unless you are in par or a lot more fed than him.

Story
He has a story to back up his awesomeness too. He is a well-renowned warrior before the Fortress of Despair have been converted into the undead bastion as it is today. The Kingdom was once a beautiful and rich kingdom and he has the oath to protect the King and Queen of the Kingdom which turned out to be Vexana. All the evils in the world, Leomord would fight for his kingdom, however, the one that made it evil and undead was the one he swore to protect, because he could not escape this fate, he took his life rather than fighting his liege. With the Fortress of Despair almost taken over by Tigreal and the Expeditionary Forces of Light, Vexana remembered Leomord, his loyal retainer.Leomord’s resolve is hard to control and he cannot be manipulated by Vexana but without a choice, she awoke him on his slumber and came to remember Leomord’s oath to protect the kingdom and she told him that the undead were once the people he tried to cherish. Seeing sense in her words, Leomord once again mustered his courage and together with his horse, Barbiel rode to the battlefield to fight off Tigreal.
Leomord wielded the Oath Keeper his famed sword. He demolished one after the another until Tigreal himself challenged Leomord. Albeit, no declared winner was said, Tigreal realized Leomord’s despair and grief while challenging him. It was said that people know their enemies whenever they cross blades, this may be true for Tigreal on Leomord. And that was the day he knew he met a great opponent in the embodiment of Leomord, the Hell Knight.
