the perfect legion build for easy wins
dont play legion
BBQ, Nurse's Calling, Ruin, Undying
Hows nurses calling helpful? Isnt his tr larger?
Yes his TR is 33m while nurses is 28m. With Legion you should have most injured and therefore they will heal. Having Nurses helps prevent heals and locating survivors, especially if they self care.
I used to love using it with sloppy until that got nerfed.
Rank 1 Legion main here.
Undying, Ruin, BBQ and something to punish injured Survivors (Blood Echo, Nurse's, Thana)
Always use one of the sketchbook add-ons btw. Frenzy duration is super important
It does not matter in the slightest.
That being said, I still wouldn't run Nurse's Calling on Legion if I wasn't running Thana, since most people won't heal against a Legion in the first place unless there's a reason to (thus, Thana). You can still do perfectly fine with Thana by itself, so I wouldn't put Nurse's.
I usually run BBQ/Pop/Thana/whatever in the fourth slot (maybe Monitor, but it usually just shows you people that you wouldn't be able to reach anyway. I usually put Thrilling or something.)
BBQ,Ruin,Undying,Thana and both duration addons is really decent if you don't get suuuper unlucky with the totems
I run Pop, Thrilling (to find the gen to Pop), Devour, and a 4th perk that varies depending on how the day is going or if I have a challenge. Brutal or Enduring if pallets are bugging me, sometimes M&A to get much closer to survivors before frenzy, occasionally All Ears to help at those jungle gyms, and sometime Nemesis, the 60 second oblivious is very useful to down that pesky pallet dropper.
R1 Legion main. My record is a 25 game 4K streak at R1 with him.
My build is usually as follows:
Sloppy~ Slows down healing. Mega important.
Corrupt Intervention~ Buys you time at the beginning of the game.
Pop Goes the Weasel~ Big time gen regression.
Monitor and Abuse~ Lowers your TR, which allows you to "sneak up" on Survivors, which will in turn, make them extremely likely to heal.
For add-ons I usually rock the Defaced Smiley Face pin to apply more Mangled and the Stolen Sketchbook, which allows you to Frenzy for longer.
Always bring thana or at least a perk that punishes injured survivors
for legion? maybe just try lowering your standards
Legion is a very flexible killer due to how basic he is.
What is widely seen as his best build is Pop+Surge+Thrilling Tremors and a 4th perk of your choosing. Could be enduring, Thanatophobia, or Devour Hope if you want to make everyone panic.
But let's say you don't want to do that. Perks synergize well with Legion?
Thanatophobia and Dying Light make a mean combo on Legion. Due to his ability to injure survivors, getting Thana stacks is easy and the Dying Light healing buff to the obsession actually helps you as they may try to heal more. If you can get DL stacks, then you can absolutely slow the game to a crawl... you might get a lot of hate messages though.
Undying-Ruin is also a pretty good combo, naturally. It's good on almost every killer and Legion is no exception.
Brutal-Enduring is alright. Legion's chase is pretty weak, so these perks help him out in that. You could also slap on Spirit Fury.
Nurse's Calling is surprisingly useful on him. Mending does NOT count as healing and you shouldn't waste time healing against Legion... but really, Survivors like healing against Legion, for some reason I cannot comprehend.
Deathbound is good and bad on him. If combo-ed with Nurse's, it can make unconfident survivors give up healing (if they're healing, they must not trust their chase game enough). However, because a survivor becomes Oblivious, they cannot be affected by your Terror Radius... so your Killer Instinct (the location tool that activates after you stab a survivor in Frenzy) will not detect them.
Getting into add-ons.... most are garbage, I won't lie.
Iri button is his best as it means Killer Instinct tell you where everyone is (but being an iri add-on, you won't use it often).
Fuming mixtape is a bit of an underrated add-on. It's not amazing, but it's great for info and can replace any info perk you may have in a build.
His Duration add-ons (ALL OF THEM) are amazing. Even the brown that literally gives 1 sec makes a huge difference. The Rulers are only good if you keep missing hits (which you shouldn't do).
Franks/Stab Wounds are outdated and should NEVER be used unless you're meme-ing (even then, the survivors will hate you).
The Knife add-ons are okay. Not great, but serviceable. Really, they stall is only good if they're stacked.
The Cooldown add-ons are underwhelming. Only one worth running is Cold Dirt, and (though it's rarely worth it) you can combine it with Joey's Mixtape to reduce the cooldown/fatigue from 4 secs... to 3 secs (great add-ons, am I right?). The ones that increase your Killer Instinct Detection Range are... okay, but you cannot capitalize on the info, so just run Iri Button otherwise, your 40m range is enough.
Legion Pin is great as it breaks people for a minute, while the rest are about as useful as Self-Care with No Mither against a God Nurse. Defaced Pin is worthless (temporarily mangled... so scary) and the Smiley Face is a joke (Blindness... enough said).
