GUIDE | Legion character analysis

This guide is not sponsored by "meta slaves gaming". It's made with passion.

Hello! Today I will make some good points on why Legion is actually a good character to start with. I will show you builds, tactics, advanced mechanics and more!
Lets go!

1. What's up with the people, hello?

First of all:

Thanks to all the people who enjoyed my previous tutorial! I hope you will find the same juice, energy and motivation in this one. We will only talk about Legion and the guide will be more chill.

Now kinda unnecesary part, but i need to:

Yo, to all people calling me legion main, some other stuff, weren't pretty satisfied with my tutorial, which is MEGA okay, but dud, seriously you gonna comment trivial stuff and complain about legion character itself that its bad? Like what universe you live on. You must be a guy that plays camping leather face all day till he's rank one, restart the season and do the same all over again. Here, maybe i will open your third eye with this:

1. I am a killer main, i don't play survivor. I have plenty of dlc's bought over time, but not all. My favourites are: Spirit, Hag, Mayers and of course Legion. What i main is irrelevant despite the fact I main all the killers. I wish i could play the nurse better tho.

2. Legion is a very strong killer, ESPECIALLY for lower rank players. It is also turbo linear and repetitive. You just need to think a little, which might be the reason why you think Legion is the worst killer. I hope you will see what i see after you read this guide.

2. Before the game starts things.

1. Addons described.
2. Offerings overall knowledge.
3. Counter play the predictions.

1. Addons are simple:
-Pins add an on hit effect when you punch a guy detected by Feral Frenzy (that heart beating red auras called Killer Instinct). All pins do different effects, check them out.
-Writings (list, mural, book...) extend the duration of Feral Frenzy.
-Rulers reduce Feral Frenzy recovery time.
-Blades increase mending time.
-Never-Sleep Pills and Susie's Mixtape increase the Killer Instinct detection range.
-Julie's Mix Tape, Joey's Mix Tape and Cold Dirt decrease the cooldown of Feral Frenzy.
-Stab Wounds Study reduces the Deep Wounds timer (the time they can sit and do nothing).

These are generally strong addons. They dont change the gameplay, they just make you better, harder for survivors to escape. So, if you see a group in the lobby that looks like experienced players - equip better addons. They have a big impact on your game.

I will describe the rarest addons more closely.

Iridescent Button:
During Feral Frenzy your Terror Radius affects all map and any pallets you vault are immidiately broken (!!!).
Yeah. That's pretty strong isn't it? Not only palletts are broken, but this addon is. Perfect for aggresive build, remember to adjust the perks when you use this.

Fuming Mix Tape:
During Feral Frenzy you can see every generator progress. The more white it is, the closer it is to completion.
This one is okay, but not as useful as the previous one. You dont really need that much info, what you gain from perks and Killer Instinct is enough. You might want to build around this perk, like swap all the aura perks for better chase etc. It's avarage.

2. Offerings, as simple as possible.
I dont really want to describe everything, it's just meh. Not worth bothering the mind with them. I think they are perfectly described in game, so read carefully what they do and that's it.

3. The most fun part, counter picking the stuff.

So.

Exp - pick when you feel like you can do at least 3 kills easily. They don't really counter anything, it's just more bloodpoints for you.
Hatch and basement - you might want to pick a hatch offering to know easily where the hatch is. This is useful when survivors bring a key into play. Basement is useful when you try to do some archives.
Chests - equip this when survivors bring a map.
Mist - it is just visual, but makes huge difference actually. I'm not really sure how it might be used for counter play.
Hooks - this might help you overall, not for counterplay. It does make more difference when you use a slow moving killer of course. Pretty useful, I often use it.
Memento moris - come on, you already know when to use them.
Shroud of Separation - one of its kind, makes survivors spawn separately. Very situational. As Legion you probably don't want to use it.
All map offerings - just for your preferance, you like one map, pick it. Some people use it to pick more killer sided maps and win more games, altough in my opinion it's not worth it. You won't learn how to play on all maps, additionally you won't have that many offerings of this type.

3. Builds.

There are plenty of them. I will categorize and show you how to modify them as you wish.

1. Aggresive.
2. Passive.
3. Kinda both.
4. Generator destroyer.
5. Funny one to try.

1. Focuses on fast playstyle, only running, using feral frenzy almost all the time and hanging dudes fast.

Suggested build: Barbecue & Chilli, Bamboozle, Brutal Strength, A Nurse's Calling.
Core perks: Barbecue & Chilli, Bamboozle.
Suggested own choice perks: Pop Goes The Weasel, Franklin's Demise, Tinkerer, Make Your Choice (at first level so the cooldown is 40 seconds, not 60 :) ).

2. Focuses on a normal pace playstyle, using your ability only when you need to.

Suggested build: Discordance, Thanatophobia, A Nurse's Calling, Knock Out.
Core perks: Discordance, Thanatophobia, A Nurse's Calling.
Suggested own choice perks: Blood Echo, Barbecue & Chilli, Bitter Murmur,

3. It is a combination, mix of both mentioned builds above. Will fit your playstyle if you tried and didn't like the previous ones. This has a lot of aura revealing perks, so it might help starters to learn how survivors behave.

Suggested build: Barbecue & Chilli, Discordance, A Nurse's Calling, Bitter Murmur.
Core perks: Barbecue & Chilli, Discordance, A Nurse's Calling.
Suggested own choice perks: I'm All Ears, Play With Your Food, Whispers.

4. This build is not consistent. Its win ratio is depended on where the hex totem spawns. However, it is very satisfying to play against players that have no idea what is going on.

Suggested build: Hex: Ruin, Discordance, Pop Goes The Weasel, Corrupt Intervention.
Core perks: All above. It works as a package.
Suggested own choice perks: You might want experiment with Dragon's Grip and Surveillance.

5. It is more done for fun really.
Suggested build: Barbecue & Chilli, Agitation, Mad Grit, Iron Grasp.
Core perks: haha
Suggested own choice perks: If you swap a Barbecue & Chilli with Monstrous Shrine it's more like a race to the basement.

4. Gameplay and tactics.

Core gameplay tactic:

As Legion you want to keep everyone injured. When they are injured they are getting a penalty from Thanathophobia, when they are healing you can see them on Nurses Calling. It's so straight forward. Sometimes it's good to Feral Frenzy an injured guy to see where the others are with Killer Instinct, so never hesitate on that. You just run, hit, track, kill. That's the main core of the gameplay and the key to winning.

Start of the game:

Did you know that the Killer is in huge disadvantage when the game starts? Everybody is healthy, all survivors perks are up. So it's very important to find someone as soon as possible and do some damage. Look for the hook farthest from your position. Walk a path to it and check the other generators on your way. If you see a Discordance close enough, straight forward Feral Frenzy. Not too far away, so you can actually catch them you know. Injure as many survivors as you can, remember the positions of the ones you didnt punch but saw on Killers Instinct. Focus on one injured dude and try to down him. You should have done that, but if it is a try hard 900 hours in game maniac, just let him loop himself and move to other injured guy or anyone else. Do the Feral Frenzy and go again!

Middle game:

It's like 2 generators done. You haven't got any kill, but probably some guys are one hook away from death. That's good. You need to catch them as fast as possible, so tunneling them is an option. You might want to not use Feral Frenzy and just finish. Once one survivor is gone, the game might is tilted towards you A LOT. Focus on a dude closest to death after.

End game:

Is there something like this? I don't know, but probably there is a last guy just escaping by hatch. If not, now you focus on surveiling both doors using Feral Frenzy and try to catch the last one. He might hatch too, so look for it first actually. It depends, for sure you will feel the moment.

Tricks with mechanics:

The most useful trick is to body block someone. Example: a guy is injured, you just used Feral Frenzy. Your ability is fully loaded, so you sprint that guy, chase him hard and eventually try to pass him. When you are before him, the no collision from hit is already gone, and you can block his window, pallete, himself in a corner. That way your hit is SUPER secured. I use this trick a lot, it is MEGA useful and relatively easy to do.

When they jump by a palette or window, you can use Feral Frenzy instead of destroying it. You gain a hit by doing that and you know the location of others too. They cant get away so fast, because they will probably wait for you when you break a pallete. And even if you broke it, you would still probably hit them hah.

If they are healing each other and you see it on Nurses Calling you might want to use Feral Frenzy already, because by time you run to them they will probably heal already. Not always though.

Remember that Discordance not only gives you a notification with a noise on the screen, but also lights up on the perk gui bottom right corner. Might be useful during intense chases.

Thanks for reading!

I hope you enjoyed this, I tried my best at making everything clear and understandable. Feel free to leave some comments, I might edit this tutorial later to add some builds or tricks. Good luck and have fun playing! //slimerPuncher

Well, Legion isn't bad really. He's viable. There aren't any truly bad characters like Freddy was anymore. That being said he's definitely one of the weakest killers . I mean his power is that he can get free injures on multiple people at once, which can be useful, but thats it really. Compare that to killers like Blight, Oni, Ghostface etc. and he's bad in comparison. He's better than like wraith, and his power isn't terrible, but at the end of the day he's more or less a mouse 1 killer and a mouse 1 killer is never going to be good in comparison to killers with powers that can you know, actually kill people

This was so useful thanks. :)
