Here’s the basics on Leonardo #004:
“…Leonardo is a close attacker with an appropriate mix of standard powers and an aggressive set of combat values. His power mix includes a special power, Katana, which lets him use Blades/Claws/Fangs. Additionally, if Leonardo misses a close attack he can use Sidestep. Katana is paired with Charge on his dial, and both powers work well together: Use Charge to take the fight to the enemy, then attack using Blades/Claws/Fangs.
Like the other 1984 comics versions of the turtles, Leonardo has the Fighting through the Swarms trait that allows him to be placed in any square adjacent to an opposing character he hits. When used with the Charge/Katana combo we mentioned earlier, Fighting through the Swarms can help Leonardo by having him pop up where your opponent would least expect him.
Leonardo has a point value of 50 and makes a great choice as a mobile attacker with high damage potential on the entire length of his dial.“
Here’s the basics on Leonardo #028:
“This version comes in at 60 points and starts with the popular combination of Charge and Blades/Claws/Fangs. Like his Mirage comics counterpart, Leonardo has the Animal, Martial Artist, TMNT, and TMNT Ally keywords to aid you when including him on a themed team.
Leonardo has special powers in his defense, damage and attack slots. His defensive special power, Analyze and Counter Fighting Styles, offers two layers of protection by letting him use Super Senses and Toughness. His damage special power, Leader of the Turtles, lets him use Leadership with the potential to remove an action token from each adjacent friendly character with the TMNT keyword. It’s a great special power for those times when you’re playing all four turtles in close formation.“
