Leon is an interesting character, with fine offensive stats but a bit lacking defensively. He wields an axe and a sword when he joins, which would be great if dual-wielding worked the way it's supposed to. His shield skill is only level 3, though it will increase almost immediately. Between that and his level 3 evasion, Leon is likely much more vulnerable to physical attacks than your other fighters. It's probably best to stick with swords, since the two best weapons in the game are both of that type. Giving Leon the Defender (possibly as an off-hand weapon) is a good way to get his evasion % up, if that's what you want to do. Remember that he's left-handed.
