Leo Kaiser
Profile Update

Leo Kaiser remains one of the most unique summon-oriented Saints in Saint Seiya Awakening, and while his Rebirth finally addresses some of his long-standing issues, it unfortunately falls short of making him a true meta contender.

Kaiser’s entire kit revolves around Goldi, his armored lion companion. Goldi assists Kaiser’s attacks, supports allied summons, and provides steady offensive pressure through multiple follow-up attacks. The Rebirth improves this synergy by allowing Goldi to respawn at the start of every round instead of waiting two full turns, significantly increasing Kaiser’s consistency during longer battles.

The update also enhances Goldi’s offensive capabilities. Every Lion Claw assist now automatically triggers Enraged Bite, adding an extra hit and giving Kaiser much better burst potential. Even better, some of these bites now deal True Damage, allowing Goldi to bypass defensive stats and threaten even heavily protected enemies.

However, the improvements come with strict limitations. Goldi’s additional assists are capped at five activations per turn, while the powerful True Damage effect can only trigger three times per turn. Compared to modern summon-based characters, these restrictions severely limit Kaiser’s overall impact. His lion also fails to return immediately after Kaiser is revived, leaving him significantly weaker during crucial turns.

Overall, Leo Kaiser is certainly more playable than before and has excellent synergy with modern summon compositions. Nevertheless, his restrictive mechanics prevent him from competing with the strongest PvP units. He remains a fun choice for players who enjoy summon-focused teams, but he is still far from becoming a top-tier Saint.

+ Pros

  • Excellent synergy with summon-based teams.
  • True Damage significantly increases burst potential.
  • Can continuously amplify allied summon attacks.
  • Flexible builds as either a bruiser or offensive support.

Cons

  • Not meta competitive despite the Awakened Cloth.
  • Goldi's assists are heavily limited per turn.
  • True Damage activation is capped at only three times each turn.
  • Goldi does not immediately return when Kaiser is revived.
  • Lower survivability than newer S-rank Saints.
  • Relies heavily on summon compositions to reach full potential.

Skill Descriptions

Skill 1

Thunder Bolt

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Deals P.DMG equal to 80% P.ATK to a single target, with a 30% chance to deal an additional instance of damage that comes with another 30% chance to deal additional instances of damage (up to 2 instances of damage). Apart from dealing damage alongside its master, Goldie will launch additional attacks on Kaiser's target with [Lion's Claw], which is dependent on the total number of instances of damage of this basic attack.

Skill 2

Lightining Plasma

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Kaiser deals 3 instances of P.DMG equal to 60% P.ATK each to a single target, removing hard-control effects (Stun, Restrict, Nightmare, Freeze, Black Ice, Sleep, Petrification, etc.) and purifying debuffs on all summoned units in his lineup. He will also order them to attack the enemy once.

Skill 3

Summoning Goldie - Awakened

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Kaiser summons Goldie when the battle begins. The lion will inherit 70% of his battle attributes and gain the ability to cast skills such as [Lion's Claw], [Raging Bite], and [Lion's Hunt] at the same level as [Summoning Goldie]. At the beginning of each round, Kaiser will summon Goldie again. Each time [Lion's Claw] is cast, Goldie will follow up with an additional [Raging Bite] attack on the main target of [Lion's Claw]. This effect can be triggered up to 3 times per turn. When Goldie uses [Raging Bite], the damage will be converted to true damage. This effect can be triggered once per turn. [Lion's Claw] Goldie deals P.DMG equal to 50% of P.ATK to its target while increasing the damage they take by 2% (lasts for 2 action rounds; can be stacked up to 5 stacks; can be purified). [Raging Bite] Deals P.DMG equal to 6% of Max HP to the target (will not exceed 400% of Goldie's P.ATK). [Lion's Hunt] After a summoned unit in his lineup launches a physical attack, Goldie has a 70% chance to assist it by casting [Raging Bite]. This effect can be triggered up to 2 times in a round.

Skill 4

Two Hearts in One

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

The bond that Kaiser shares with Goldie allows them to support each other in a battle: When Kaiser deals damage, Goldie will recover HP equal to 20% of damage dealt by Kaiser (overhealing will be converted to a Shield that does not exceed 10% of Goldie's Max HP). Similarly, when Goldie deals damage, Kaiser will recover HP equal to 20% of damage dealt by Goldie (overhealing will be converted to a Shield that does not exceed 10% of Kaiser's Max HP). As long as Kaiser is around, he shall grant all summoned units in his lineup 5% x (the number of summoned units) DMG boost (up to 2 stacks), and provide half the DMG boost to all ally units.
