Who is Leon in Free Fire

According to Free Fire Max’s comic, Leon is a rising basketball star. This character is a classic one and the first character introduced from Max’s universe, Leon‘s ability is pretty much like an adrenaline rush. Let’s know about Leon’s ability and best combination according to camp strategies and rush strategies.
Leon character ability: Buzzer beater
As players already know by now, Leon is a rising basketball star. His ability is being capable of restoring health after surviving a fight. Surviving means either eliminating the opponent or running away from the fight (this also works by increasing distance). Restoring 5-30 health points when enemies are pushing in and teammates are far, this character can be absolutely overpowering and able to do a few insane cutches.
