Tips for Playing Legion

I'm a Rank 2 Legion main. They're pretty much the only Killer that I play. The real key to Legion is Frenzy. You have to know when to spread the pain and when to cancel your power and commit to chases. Legion is generally a hit and run Killer. Your job is to chain hits with Frenzy (Discordance is super useful for finding people grouped up) and then you come back to them when they're hopefully still injured to finish the job.

You pretty much always need to get the first hit on a Survivor with your power because without the first hit, Leg is just a basic 115% movement speed Killer. Never under any circumstances commit to trying to down a person that isn't already injured it's a waste of your time.

I think the hardest thing for Legion is getting extremely comfortable with Frenzy's hitbox and mobility. Frenzy doesn't have a Lunge animation so you have to be right on top of Survivors to hit. Also, you really have to pay attention to your screen because you can't see scratches so it's easy to lose Survivors if you're not careful. Always wait to use Frenzy until you're close enough to Survivors that you won't lose them using the power too early can be a mistake.

Survivors will also do weird things while Legion is in Frenzy like 360s, window techs and immediately vaulting back, so you have to practice flicking and doing 180s to land hits... it's kind of like a sixth sense. Don't be surprised if Survivors knock you out of your power a lot before you've invested the time to get familiar with all the mindgames and BS. Legion is very unforgiving for missing Frenzy hits, so you have to get extremely good at reacting and predicting to their tactics.

Final tips. The Sketch add-ons that increase Frenzy's duration are the best. Use Frenzy to run to generators that are close to finishing even if you get knocked out of your power you'll usually scare them away and buy time. Use the Killer Instinct tracking to get an idea of where everyone is even if you don't immediately chase them... Legion can know a lot more than Survivors expect and they're much more subtle than a Killer like Doctor. You can really catch people off guard. Legion can kick generators and open lockers in Frenzy. Also, picking up a Survivor cancels Frenzy without the 4 second stun so slugging a Survivor and then hitting nearby people with Frenzy before you pick them up is a good use of time.

The tips above are pretty helpful. I'd like to add that you should never let a survivor mend in your face in the open field after you landed a feral frenzy hit. Loads of survivors do this so just cancel frenzy and punish them for it (even with the stun they are never gonna make it to a pallet/window).

When I play survivor against a legion I postpone mending because the timer is really long (12 sec!). I just work on the generator until it nearly runs out and then mend. So keep that into consideration as legion. If you decide to go hit another survivor with frenzy I tend to return to the first survivor to chase them of the gen and down them.

I'm always looking for different perk builds but have found distressing really useful to extend the killer instinct info. Even if you don't go after them immediately you'll still know in which part of the map they are. Combining that with discordance to stop 2+ man gen rushing. I also like bloodhound since they will be injured all the time. For the fourth perk i've been using bloodwarden because with a good survivor team you will get to endgame. It depends on your hooking timing but it can even land you a 4K instead of no kills at all. Keep switching your perks though to keep it interesting.

Yeah. No. You have way more reach on windows with an M1 Lunge. Frenzy hits can barely make anything through windows that's how I know

Hmmm. When I hold down a frenzy hit it's a massive lunge.

Unless it's just the speed that makes it seem that way. I'm always high AF so I could be wrong.
