Just so that you know - the leader only matters on regular questing when you fight a boss. You  can call on friends from the other two elements - pick friends with the highest attack power for these slots, and then it shouldn't matter what your leader is. As long as one of you is still alive you will win the battle (even if your leader is killed).
