Leaders are usually the hardest hitters, although there are so many units nowadays that that's not always the case anymore, it just depends on what you have. But generally the answer is yes, so you'll have your Leader on one rotation and the Friend one on the other rotation, meaning that their links will be the most important for the team.

There are a few exceptions, but a standard Leader/hard hitter will have the following things:
 * Super Attack with immense damage (Mega-Colossal if it's an LR)
 * Passive Skill boost of around ATK +100% (usually higher nowadays), hopefully a good DEF boost as well, or some other valuable mechanic
 * Hopefully good links, including Fierce Battle which is gained by Dokkan Awakening with Dokkan Event medals
