Builder - the boon you get afterwards is free water and power for your community.

If you haven't gotten any boons yet. I'd say the best ones to have is Builder then Trader, Sheriff next and then Warlord. And if you have unlocked all the boons I'd say it's always good to have a Trader leader because of the trade depot.

There is no true best. It's opinion. Here is my Opinion:

For Boons, the Builder and Sherrif. Builder for the free power and water boon, and Sheriff because of the items dropped in your locker everyday. For me though, Builder boon took all the fun out of it eventually, and most of the time I don't use it anymore. The Trader Boon is OP as far as I am concerned.

For actually playing the leaders, my favorites are the Trader and the Sheriff. Trader allows Trade Depot, and getting your farm to level 3. Their end mission is fun too. The Sheriff has many early jobs keeping the peace and settling disputes, and their end mission is pretty fun. Sheriff gets you the maximum upgrade for the lounge as well, if you have room for it.

The Builder missions in game are horrible. I've played as builder three times, for the 3 different difficulties so I could get the boon. For me, it's not fun, like getting teeth pulled at the dentist.

You can only have one leader ?

You can only have one at a time. You can change leaders as often as you wish in a community, with a penalty to the demoted leader being a Citizen again for awhile. You can only complete for a legacy with one. You need more successful playthrough if you complete 4 playthroughs, 1 for each leader on Dread, for example, and want to move up to Nightmare. Earning the boon does not count for higher levels. They must be earned again there.

builder leader enables you easily increase your group up to 12 members, but leaders can be swapped. I swap them from time to time, not for the missions, but for the buildings they have access to.
I usually spend 2 or more in-game weeks on one map..
Builed boon doesnt transfer to NM difficulty if group was made on dread ..switching to NM you again need to get power and watrer on your own. At least in my gameplay builders boon dont work.. I didnt bother to find out if its a bug or not, as its not that hard to capture required outposts.

No, it's not a bug. Each boon only counts for the level earned or below. Not higher. It keeps people from doing all the boons on Green and then using them on Lethal, for example.

warlord is the most fun, trader is the strongest for getting items, building if you want a free win button with the sniper, and sheriff if youre bad at this game lol

They are referring to the Sniper Tower that the Builder leader allows you to build. I don't ever build one. To me, it is so fake that a sniper tower at your base would be able to provide sniper cover for you anyplace on the map, so I don't use it.

No. They provide sniper support wherever you are at. There is a cooldown on it though, to keep it from being spammed.

Depending on the home site and how many large slots mostly determines the better leader choice.

Sheriff's lounge 3 is good with rookie survivors to boost skills. The builders sniper tower is good at sites where the small slots aren't in a good position such as barricaded strip mall or lumber mill. Trader farm is good for large populations.

Often I'll do multiple. Promote a trader, build farm(s) then demote. Promote sherrif, build lounge etc. depending on home site.

Lumber mill, baseball diamond or farmhouse are great as they have many large slots to put the various leader facilities. Getting the survivors back to hero is a fun goal for me.
