Cor Leonis New Hero Guide

Cor Leonis

“Miraculous military exploits earned the legendary Lucian Crownsguard captain the moniker of ‘the Immortal’, but since the fall of Insomnia, the name serves as a mocking reminder that he outlives the liege he swore to protect. Leonis now guides Noctis and company as an act of penitence.” -FFXV

Cor Hero Skills

Hero skills are fleeting, as their boosts only apply when that hero is active and their combat boosts are often outdone when other heroes are updated or new heroes released. However, the skills that always stay relevant are the ones that deal with monster hunting, and in this aspect Cor is king. With a huge multiplier of 600%, this is twice the normal increase. Add to that his MP Recovery of 600,000% and we are getting to a place where refilling your MP bar might be a valid way to complete an event or two. It’s not much, but it’s a step in the right direction. Although, his Guild Adventure Hall skill is not that great with extremely low stats, especially for a new hero that doesn’t have another Dark Dungeon skill.

Cor Mastery Skills

As you can see, Cor’s Mastery Skills are very similar to his hero skills. In fact, many of them have the exact same stats! This means each stat gets doubled when he is active. But, the best part about Mastery Skills is that they apply no matter which hero you have active, so you can play around with what works best for you. While Cor has a lot of stats that benefit offensive attack players, there are some nice additions for defense. Especially the Mirror Hero skills that boost Dark Mercenaries and City Defense stats. Keep one in your empire to help crush any incoming attacks on your Citadel!

Playing in the Dungeon

If you take a look at his skills combined with his abilities, you’ll do better with almost every other hero. But, if you only have abilities for Cor for some reason, it’s better than nothing. The only positive part of his abilities is the incoming damage reduction for the whole group playing along in the Guild Adventure Hall. This could be positive if we see some awful monsters in the future that hurt more than the ones we currently have.

Is Cor Leonis Worth Getting?

Yes! Any new hero is worth getting just for the hero levels and MP that comes with it. Since he has increased MP boosts, it’s an added benefit. But, that’s not all he brings to our empires, with all the combat boosts that you get in his Mastery Skills, he will add to your strength, even if you choose to battle with another hero (just add him to the Order of Heroes for increased Dark Garrison Attack, Dark Garrison HP, Dark City Attack, Dark City HP, and Dark City Armor). Since he is a brand new hero, you might be able to pick up a discount pack that includes an unlock AND MP Carryover. Wait even longer and you might be able to get other boosts included with those! Although, if you wait too long, he won’t be as effective as newer heroes and levels are released. When you do grab him up, you’ll need to use Cor Hero Medals to level him up, and I’ve included a chart below.
