Leonardo

Last Updated: September 11, 2025

Leonardo Overview

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have arrived in Teleria through a special collaboration event in Raid: Shadow Legends, bringing Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, April O’Neil, and the fearsome Shredder into the game. This time, April sets aside her journalism to rally the Turtles – not for pizza, but to face Shredder in a brand-new Event Dungeon before he seizes control of the kingdom. With the power of unity, Leonardo rallies the Turtles as a proud member of the Shadowkin faction.

Leonardo is likely the most sought-after champion from this collaboration, boasting a unity effect that scales his damage when teamed with the other Turtles, while also bringing immense damage and protection through his skills. His core synergy starts from using his A2, which grants Increase Defence and Ally Protection to the team while placing Unkillable and Counterattack on himself – allowing him to absorb damage safely and set up his A3 for even greater impact. Even on its own, this is a powerful protective ability that shines across multiple areas, from Demon Lord to wave content and Arena progression.

Leonardo’s A3 is a powerful AoE that scales based on the number of buffs on both allies and enemies, and it will strip enemy buffs if he secures a kill. With full unity active, the skill becomes even stronger – he ignores a portion of enemy defence for each Turtle on the team, deals increased damage the lower his HP gets, and will instantly trigger the ability when an ally drops below 50% HP. Whether he’s absorbing hits through Ally Protection or being outpaced in Arena, this makes his A3 the ultimate comeback move. Beyond PvP, it also makes him a devastating boss and wave clearer, giving his kit strong universal value.

Additionally, when Leonardo drops below 50% HP, he passively triggers Stoneskin on himself for extra protection, buying time to unleash his scaled damage and turn the fight around. He also joins attacks whenever the other Turtles strike an enemy. His A1 gains even more value when counterattacking – set up through his A2 – as it repeats the hit and ignores up to 15% of the target’s defence based on their buffs. Overall, he’s a powerful mix of protector and damage dealer who shines brightest alongside his fellow Turtles – definitely living up to the hype!
