A Legion build that makes him B or even A tier?????
Most people can agree that Legion is the worst killer in the game next to the Clown, but we also can't deny that legion have a hard time to get kills for most people, he's at least the easiest one to pip with and make points, he also can make every survivors injured, making them mend which waste their time and hopefully heal which waste even more time,
But the build I made doesn't use his strength to make it more powerful (thanatophobia for exemple) I made a build that affect his weaknesses which allow him to have even more awareness all over the map, making me know where they are at all times.
The build is : Surge, Surveillance, Pop goes the weasel, and BBQ.
Add-ons: Joey's mix tape and cold dirt.
The build is to have absolute control on the gens, always know which one is being worked on and which one isn't, reducing your fatigue duration allows you to hit the survivor faster and so use surge and surveillance faster as well, if you get someone and hook them, you know where they are working so you hopefully reach the gen before it's completed and you also have surveillance, so if they come back to it 2 seconds after you left it you can go back already, if you down someone and the gen(s) the blew around you aren't white, there's someone on it, so go check it for a sec, if it's nearly repaired or not, if it it, push them away, hook near it and use pop.
It is important to know when to use your pop tho, if you chase someone and you hear a survivor(s) working on a gen it's good to give up the chase and use pop and maybe use your feral frenzy so you have more pressure and stopping them from working again, if you used surge far away and it isn't white, you will in total remove 33% of the gen (they most liekly recovered the 8% of the surge but that's still time wasted)
I am a rank 1 killer, and this build works CRAZY good, I almost always win.
(the dc was because i caught her after being unhook and worked on a gen i used surge on)
was a VERY difficult game, because of those 2 balanced landing, very good team, but i saved 2-3 gens from being completed for like 5 minutes, they were always going back to them but i'd always stop them, I would have lost without it.
This build really work and I almost always have very good results.
Thanks for reading and see you in the fog.

Nice, i will try it out now. Thanks for making such posts.
By the way, would you recommand other addons or are these your "always2go" addons?

One of my current favourite builds on Legion at rank 1 is enduring, ruin, discordance, and suprisingly Make your choice.
0 -
I use BBQ, pgtw, enduring, and spirit fury. I don't think legion can ever be above C tier unless we can get a perk that works insanely good on him, Other killer powers just outshine his by a large degree.

What I like running lately is:
Thana, Dying, Discordance and another perk that doesn't really matter
Add-ons: The Legion Pin and Stolen Sketch Book.
The idea is that you hit everybody with FF so that they are broken and in the 1 minute mark you hook as much as possible and when the unhooking happens you carry on FF-ing everybody. In theory they shouldn't get much gen done with this idea.
1 -
well i use these because i want to be able to hit them as soon as possible, but if you want durations or more mend time, go for it if you wish
0 -
i have a hard time figuring out your build o_0
1 -
i used this build before as well once Behavior changed legion's add-ons, but it wasn'T working well enough for me, however, blood echo is also pretty good on legion
2 -
It's a weird one definitely but it works well.

How is making everyone exposed, with no counterplay, while getting wallhacks on non-exposed survivors; a bad power? Legion is disgusting in the hands of a good player. Only people who can't get a single M1 hit after the free legion hit say he is weak. You throw on something like spirit fury / enduring and collect your free downs if you are smart.

Alright, I totally forgot about the existance of this perk, now it makes it much more interesting, too bad I don't have it :(

glad it does

Did you just assume The Legion's gender?
But right now I'm leveling up The Wraith to get his Bloodhound Perk and then I'll use BBQ, M&A, Bloodhound and Sloppy Butcher, then look down and casually follow the bloodtrails :P
Perhaps that's an idea
1 -
i used this perk on him before with a different build, yea it'S deadly and i loved it, i COULD change bbq for it but i'd rather know where they are when they work on a gen on the other side of the map, but yea, blood echo is very good on him
0 -
i always use Frank so yes i used HIM/HE and don't go with the "did you just assume the legion's gender" there's 2 guys and 2 girls, i use he since i use a guy, end of it
1 -
Chill buddy, just a joke. But The Legion is a group, so technically they always have to be called "them/they", but it's ok, no need to get hurt about it :)
1 -
You need Monitor and Abuse plus Discordance in any strong Legion build. Their best perks by far.
The 24m terror radius means people have less reaction time to spread out for Frenzy when you ambush a generator so you can more easily chain hits AND once you hit the first person you have a much higher detection radius for tracking because your Terror Radius jumps to 40m so you have more information about where everyone is.
1 -
sorry, those who use that term always piss me off instantly, and yea i know it's them.
1 -
i understand the point on monitor but i refuse personally to use that perk on him, waste of a slot in my opinion, i usually only use monitor on 24M/110% killers
0 -
I guess that makes sense since your playstyle seems to be focused on canceling Frenzy to get follow up hits instead of chaining it
0 -
i chain if i can, i always go for as many hits as possible, but i know if they are at 32 meters it's almost useless to go after them since they'll run away from me and even more so if you use monitor with a 40 meters, so if there's no one really close i'll cancel and hit back as soon as possible
0 -
Nice one, had to laugh and I am still laughing, but not cuz its a joke...
0 -
glad i made your day better
0 -
It's like BBQ with no counterplay. Even if you cancel Frenzy, you know where the people who are 40m away are. Which can be very useful for deciding which generators to hit with Pop. Also, I'm kinda scummy and will hit people I have no intention of chasing to track people I actually want to find. Like people on death hook or a person who's playing immersed and probably planned on camping Hatch, so I don't have to spend 4 minutes slugging for the 4k.

That definitely looks like a good build! Legion is my second most played killer (my main is Hag), and I can vouch that all of those perks are pretty good on him, especially Pop and Surge. However, I prefer something like Whispers in place of BBQ gameplay wise, but I'm too greedy to take off BBQ
1 -
Any build that forces specific addons or any at all is actually not a good build. I'll try it out though.

good point

try it out and let me know :)

these are the add-ons i personally use, no need to use them if you want to use other add-ons

I haven't picked up Legion yet. I have to get Plague, Legion, and Deathslinger. (Any recommendations would be cool BTW, I was slightly leaning toward Plague)
I just came to comment and ask, why Surge? If I'm going to be playing Legion I might as well know. I ask because from what I hear, he's slightly similar to Wraith in the way that he's good at getting a first hit, but struggles to finish the job. So wouldn't you be better off using something that doesn't involve downing a survivor with M1? Genuine questions, since I only know things from what I've heard in videos from Otz or whoever.
0 -
because he is a M1 killer and since his ability is meant ot injure survivors you'll mostly always give a regular hit to down them so it will trigger surge and so regress the gen(s)
0 -
This build looks like it could do great, but I see a few issues with it:
- You have 2 tracking perks which isn't that needed on Legion (unless you have BBq for BP).
- You have both pop and surge which can sometimes cancel out
- You have no chase perks (enduring etc.)
- This build would fail horribly on large maps
- You use CD add ons which are not that good.
I'm not saying its a bad build tho, I absolutely love surge + surveillance but when it comes to Legion Surv isn't needed IMO. You should try replacing pop or surge with enduring and then surveillance with thanatophobia.
Of course this is my o p i n i o n.
1 -
I don't have a lot of experience with Surge either, so could you tell me if it works like Ruin where it's like the gen's been kicked? Because it would still mess with Pop. Otherwise, I understand better now.

thx for the post , will try this out really soon !

I have 3 builds on Legion that are based off my add-on.
Cooldown Legion = BBQ+Nemesis+Play with your food+Corrupt intervention
Iri button+Ruler = BBQ+Enduring+Spirit fury+Bamboozle
Sketch book = BBQ+Monitor+Nurses calling+Brutal strength.
Legion in general is based off the idea of being trickster. He tricks people into thinking that healing is good option against him but in reality it has real purpose. you can consider yourself playing No mither when playing against him. People who don't heal against legion and have excellent looping skills turn his power into a useless liability. For that reason, legion is pretty bad against skilled survivors and really has no chance against proper SWF. Cooldown legion hits you, loses his power, gets hit by pallet, uses play with your food to get the down. Iri button does same thing but uses Enduring+Spirit fury to do same thing. Duration legion is all about stabbing entire team, breaking a lot of pallets with brutal strength, creating dead zone, than using monitor to sneak up on survivor working on a generator or Nurse calling if they decide to heal on the dead zones created. I think legion has potential to be decent killer, but they would need to do some work on him. I think if they reduced his fatique from 4->3, Make mending a healing action and adjust Legion deep wound gimmick to down people if he stabbed entire team. I think he would be solid killer, but I doubt that they will really adjust him. It would also be nice to return the basic attack back to his power. I miss his STBL perk in Iri button build but I guess that is a thing in the past.

well i know if you use surge it takes away your pop, but if you managed to use your surge you'll get your pop pretty soon too since you'll hook someone, and yes surge act like ruin, it will damage the gen by 8% and keep regressing it
0 -
i did use slow down builds with legion before and it wasn't working good enough to me, i sometimes stop people from doing more than 1 gen in rank 1 with this build, which wasn't the case with the slow down ones.
0 -
This one is sort of a meme build but here it is anyway
Add-ons: Stab wounds study and Filthy Blade
Perks: Coulrophobia, Nurses Calling, Thanatophobia and Discordance
0 -
Then would it not be better to instead use a different perk that synergizes better with Pop? Some that I've thought might work are possibly Thrilling Tremors or Discordance for knowing which gen to run to and kick, or possibly the typical Thanatophobia to solidify the regression from Pop. But again I don't play Legion so maybe these aren't considered here for a certain reason.

Legion is already low B tier, and isnt going any higher. This is a great build tho
0 -
I don't know why so many dislike the Legion. If you be them right, you can get straight irids no problem. I have got straight irids with Frank more than any other killer. Many probably dislike him because he is one of the hit or miss killers and their first round is a miss. Sometimes you can do insanely good and other times insanely bad. The bad is generally because of people dodging your stabs, staying really far apart, and pretty much just wasting your ability. Otherwise, he still is a really good killer with his fun power. People really got to be the Legion more and show people their true power. It will decrease the odds of a remake. Old Freddy was just like Legion: Good but difficult. I miss him...

Blood Echo, Thana, a perk of your choice (I prefer Enduring), and BBQ combo pretty well on Legion. Stolen Sketchbook and Legion Pin for extra pain. I somehow feel like Blood Echo was designed with Legion in mind; he's so great at using it and it really helps even the odds for Legion out of his power.

What?

that was my build before, was giving some results but not good enough

Well I'm not sure how you play Legion, but my style has always been a mentality of toying with the survivors. Injure them as fast as you can, apply deepwounds and broken if possible, and keep them guessing as you constantly run around the map giving the survivors hell. Not to mention that Survivors cant stay seperated forever. They have to group up eventually, usually to work on that last gen.
A few side notes, any sort of aura reading on Legion is great for helping track in Feral Frenzy. Also, survivors dont typically expect Legion to be using his power for distance, and if you're going after an already injured survivor you spot on BBQ you might as well use the power to catch up and establish another chase. Lastly, if your power is right at its tailend and you are even a decent distance from the survivor, lunge. The amount hits you can get away with that would otherwise be impossible is astounding, so no reason to not lunge at the end.

This is what I run on my legion. Works great.
