Le'noir

Le'noir (松 黒蔵, Matsu Kurozō) is a Black variant of Le'boin that appears in The Aku Realms, Into the Future and Legend Stages.
==Enemy==
A Black variant of Le'boin. He has slightly more range, less speed and far higher stats, with unusually high health compared to enemies of the same caliber.
==Strategy==
Le'noir is more tank oriented than Le'boin, as the latter is often seen at extremely high buffs reaching up to 50k damage. Compared to a 10,000% Le'boin, a 200% Le'noir has more than double the health, but a little less than half the damage. 
Using Ururun and Bahamut with good meatshielding is the general way to deal with Le'noir, but it is very tedious. 
If you have Major Leaguer Cat and if Le'noir is protected by other bulky enemies that do not get easily knocked back, just send more of them, Crowd-Controllers that freeze the frontliners and more meatshields. Thus, you'll be able to defeat Le'noir by using other enemies as stepping stones, as Major Leaguer Cat's standing range is in his blindspot, causing him to hit enemy backliners like Le'noir. This strategy works extremely well in mid- to late-game stages like Angry Fighting and Leadfoot Drive.
Le'noir is particularly vulnerable to stunlocking by Bombercat, due to his long time between attacks. However, as Le'noir is usually sent with many frontliners or supported by other Le'noirs, this only works if there isn't any other enemy in the way. One more strategy is using Manic King Dragon and other Backliner-class Units as his True Form gives him enough range to effectively chip away at Le'noir; a well timed Pizza Cat can also at least hit Le'noir once, doing massive damage to him provided good conditions, further augmented by his wave attack talent which allows him to reach Le'noir even if other enemies get in the way. Other wave/surge/LD attackers may also see use against Le'noir, as they will be able to consistently chip him.

==Trivia==
*His English name is derived from the French word noir, meaning "black".
**As "Le" means "the" (masculine) in French, his English name is therefore French for "The Black".
*His Japanese name, Kurozō Matsu, is derived from the words kuro, meaning "black", and zō, which can mean "to stock up on" or "to hide/conceal", both of which match Le'noir's description quite well; and when spelled with the kanji 象, zō also means "elephant". Matsu is just a surname.
