Build Ideas: Legion Edition
This is a continuation of a series a started a while ago, today we will be covering builds on the Legion. Titles in bold are builds I personally recommend.
Slowdown Legion
Build: BBQ, Blood Echoes, Thanat, Surge (or Pop)
Addons: Legion Pin, Addon of your choice
This is my everyday Legion build, and I find great success with it. Obviously, Blood Echoes and Thanat punish the survivors for being injured, and since you're Legion they'll be injured 80 percent of the time. Legion Pin keeps them injured with the broken status effect, BBQ provides BP and info, and Surge/Pop provide slowdown. All-rounder and plays to Legion's strengths.
Slugging Legion
Build: Infectious, Thanat, Blood Echoes, Nurse's
Addons: I'd recommend the ones that increase the recharge rate so you can get everyone back injured in a snap, but run whatever you want.
I haven't tried this build much since I usually don't slug unless I'm playing killers who need to, but it is pretty solid from what I've played. Thanat and Blood Echoes are there because they're great, Infectious and Nurse's obviously help with slugging and keeping that pressure. Pretty simple.
Ultimate Intel Legion
Build: BBQ, Surveillance, Ruin, Whispers
Addons: Iri Button, Cold Dirt
This is a terrible build that has one goal: find survivors. It does this with all manner of tracking perks and addons that make sure survivors cannot hide, to an unnecessary degree. Honestly, this build is just as potent when you ignore perks and only use the addons.

I think the mangled pin is now better than the broken pin since it lasts until they are healed again
They'll either decide to heal and waste even more time or they'll say screw it and not heal at all (Which is what the broken effect does anyway)

Sure, but it's better to prevent them from healing and make them have the penalties rather than giving them the chance to.
But this build also works with Mangled Pin, so go crazy.

The brute force Legion:
Brutal strength, enduring, spirit fury (of course remember the pallet bug has not been fixed), and PWYF.
Addons: Iridescent button and cold dirt
Get stacks of spirit fury easily with brutal strength and the iri button. If you find your obsession, go ahead and farm a few stacks from them. With 3 stacks and spirit fury up, you become unstoppable until you lose your stacks of PWYF.

It's def not a bad choice!
I just think a survivor healing vs legion is a net positive, compared to a survivor who can't heal who will most likely just sit on gens.
Thana will also have the neat side effect of making some survivors want to heal to get rid of it, but they can't if they are broken. Hopefully that makes sense

Yeah I get it. I just said what works for me, but Mangled is just as effective.

I forgot Cold Dirt existed lmao I'll have to swap it out in the intel build

I'm not a great killer and I'm still unlocking perks but this is my build that seems to be giving me decent success: Discordance, Sloppy butcher, Surge, PGTW
Once I get Thana I'll replace Sloppy butcher with it. I love the duo of Surge and PGTW because Surge hits the nearest gen and than you can use Pop for another gen or the same gen if a survivor taps it

You can swap Undying for something like Tinkerer/Brutal/Bamboozle or w/e if you want.
Either way, just have fun :)

Surge and Pop are a fantastic combo.
If you ever get Thrilling Tremors, why not add that into the mix? It tells you which generator to kick.

Nice suggestion! I will definitely look into that. Thanks!

Stealth Legion:
Monitor and Abuse, Trail of Torment, Nurse's Calling, Thanatophobia.
Everyone knows that healing against Legion is a massive waste of time. Enter this build with 3 perks that can massively punish Survivors for staying injured, then Nurse's to enable busting up multi survivor heal parties.
