If you want to make Leonardo da Vinci perform at peak performance in AFK Arena, you need to run the right built. While many players think simply maxing out will do the trick (well, not too wrong), there are certain sweetspots with Leonardo da Vinci that will give a big boost so I have some recommendations below that you will very likely find interesting.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Signature Item should be at +20. Buffing his cannon is alright as it will deal nice damage but he’s not the main carry. Making his evading not exceed 10% damage is not enough to make up for the investment..

Furniture Recommendation
Overall it’s recommended to get Leonardo da Vinci’s 3/9 furniture set bonus. Leonardo da Vinci’s 3/9 furniture set will make him generate 10 additional energy every second. Flat. That’s amazing if you run him. The full furniture can be nice when combined in the right team but nothing that is that strong compared to the 3/9 bonus.

Recommended Artifacts
Winged Warden is the best artifact to run with Leonardo da Vinci in most cases, although you can also consider running Duras Call or Windbinder as backups, depending on your team setup and what artifact you have available.
Engraving
In terms of Engravings, your final goal should be E60. (but you can also get the first sweet spot at E33). Leonardo da Vinci should be E33 with investment into the minor HASTE node. If you want to use him int he front line, take him to E60, but that’s not relevant for most players. Learn more about my recommended engraving priority here.
