Legion: how to deal with all survivors running away in opposite directions?

[Goblin King]

When I play legion I'm really struggling to use his power effectively.

Each time I use Feral Slash on someone, the other 3 survivors scatter away from me. It's rare I get to hit a second survivor with my frenzy, let alone a third or fourth.

Is it normal? Is Feral Slash only intended to damage a single survivor? After that I can cancel out of my power to get the down, but it seems pretty inefficient.

put the addon that leave them broken if they mend themselves and you can make the match easy 90% of time. That addon makes easy to snowball, especially against SoloQueue, very disruptive (they don't know if play together or spread out)

[NikkiLiz]

Yes, this is normal. This is the counter play to Legion: Split up. Run far away. They are not going to give you a free injure on everyone followed by a down.

It's rare you'll get more than 2-3 of them in a single frenzy. Legion's power mostly boils down to a free first hit and Deep Wounds affect, but you can use Killer Instinct quite aggressively if you know there's two survivors and one likes to stay deeply immersed.

[BlueBerry]

If you really want a 4man frenzy chain id suggest using never sleeping pills and mural sketch together,but other than that you should be content with getting a free injury and anti deadhard power

[DMesse]

Being spread out is in fact the correct way to go against Legion. Sounds like you've went against survivors who knew a thing or two about Legion.

You *need* to start small snowballs by hitting two+ survivors with your ability. Most of Legion players I've seen that successfully did this were either running aura reading perks (the one that Legion comes with, Discordance, is actually a pretty decent perk) or perks/addons that force a very painful self-mending time then strike when survivors inevitably clump together.

the broken addon is bad since the inherent counter to legion will also prevent you from snowballing also smart people don't heal again legion.

[Spicy Messiah]

Ideally, you want to just use it to pressure off of gens anyways. That ability basically means that person needs an additional heal to get back into action. This gives you time to kick the gen and do a quick sweep to see if anyone was brave enough to stay close.

I recommend using Fearmonger if Sprint Burst is an issue.

Also, if you know you cant chase the other survivors, just focus on the current one.

I recommend using Mischief List and Friendship Bracelet for more consistent multi hits, it adds 2 secs to Frenzy and increases the lunge attack, both are also common addons.

Another combo is Never-Sleep Pills with Mural Sketch, it makes your Frenzy Slower but doubles its duration, this one is almost a guarantee Frenzy down on smaller maps.

Not exactly, its not healing "a lot", cause they can injure easily, but, staying injured all the time can be dangerous, one bad play and you can lose the match.

Specially if a survivor ends in a bad hook that makes easy to proxy camp, you cant trade if youre injured.

nothing in this game will work 100% of the time, even if it's the best addon possible (open/closed map, survivor experience/swfs/solos, etc) but in my experience, it's one of the best for legion, usually people in my games tend to be more grouped and frenzy hits are more guaranteed

ps: as the person above said, playing 100% of the time injured is very dangerous, even though it is the "rule" against legion in "high mmr" matches

[applesauce yum yum]

hit a person with your power, if you see heartbeats, try to guess if they are near or far. unless they are kind of close to you, then its not worth going to. just cancel. you can go to where you saw the heartbeats and reactivate it to hit them, or you could just chase the injured person without power. very rarely will you get 3, 4, or 5 hits with frenzy. if you do then the survivor are not playing well.

think of frenzy as a time saver to get someone injured. so you dont need to chase them around loops to hit them then do it all over again to down them. just frenzy for an easy hit, cancel, then you do the loops to down. a multiple hit and seeing others locations is a bonus that you cant let distract you if its too far away.

add ons that increase frenzy time by 2 seconds and increases your speed for every hit are good enough.

bamboozle is your friend

The survivors you matched with know how to play against legions. In such cases just frenzy attack one survivor and commit to get that survivor hooked. One by one. You're legion, you're fast, you can vault over windows and pallets the fastest of all killers. That's what i do if i get such survivors.

[Captain Dickärd]

I use the sleeping pills with Susie's mixtape so that I can see the survivors from far away and have a really long power duration.
