Leafa is a straightforward assist with multipurpose moves. 5S is commonly used as a neutral tool since its relatively fast startup and cooldown speed allows you to use it many times in one round. 5S on okizeme gives you a short window to do a mixup. You can also occasionally time 5S okizeme to whiff on purpose for more mix up potential. 6S is mainly a combo fodder tool. Its use in neutral is rare due to how easy it is to avoid or hit Leafa.
