Okay this is going to be my honest-to-god criticism and I know people right now are bashing the hell out of this killer and I'm going to do a little bit of that but this is my honest opinion.

This killer is not really all that fun to play. Which is kind of funny because you can hop over pallets and windows like survivors. However the power that this killer possesses isn't very useful in ending a Chase. Don't get me wrong this killer can be amazing if you're smart with the add-ons and how you want to play. However has it currently stands the basic opinion of almost everyone going around is...

No perks can synergize with its powers and it can start a Chase but how the hell is it going to finish

Only tried em once, it is fairly entertaining rushing around and stabbing people and vaulting over things like a sprint runner.  It's gonna take me a bit of practice and some decent perks to be more serious with them, till then *stab stab stab*

Still say some tweaks are needed to them, faster movement speed for starters

I don't have Freddy, unfortunately.

Depends on who you ask.

If you’re really considering a purchase, watch some videos to get a feel for the character.

It'll help you make a much better decision than anything anyone here can say.

See, I assumed there was a problem with "downing" survivors just because of their overall speed out of frenzy as well as having to hit them 3 times to down them in frenzy. But I'd be willing to still spend money if they're fun to play in general, besides the flaw.

Ah okay! Maybe I'll just get em, screw it.

Just started watching Monto as I'm typing this. Hes showing how it is in Red ranks. It doesn't seem that bad but eh, I'm probably a potato compared to him.

If you are using Frank's Mix Tape with Stab Wound Study, yeah, they are fun. Frank's Mix Tape makes it so when you frenzy stab a deep wounded survivor, it takes a much larger than normal portion off the deep wound meter. Stab Wound Study makes it so when the deep wound starts ticking down out of a chase then it drains faster. Combined together and when you frenzy hit a survivor and then frenzy hit them again, you can just drop out of chase and follow the blood trail till you catch them mending. It makes the chase time reasonable.

Without strong add ons Legion can be pretty frustrating at times. It is pretty easy to stab people with frenzy, but closing out the kill takes a while. You either have to stab them literally 4 times while waiting for the ability to recharge, follow them around for a minute while they bleed out and catch them mending, or chase them down with 110% run speed. None of which are reasonable options since gens will pop off quickly while you are doing this.

If you don't actually care about kills and just like running fast and stabbing people then they are fantastic. I hope they make a few more adjustments to them and then it really will be fun to play.

Thank you for the tips/info! :chuffed:

I strongly disagree with this statement. Bloodhound is amazing on Legion. I wouldn't even want to play them without it. Sloppy Butcher is also great. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't effect mending. You still injure survivors constantly and if you run into injured survivors even a 110% killer can finish the job easy enough. Monitor and Abuse has fantastic synergy with Legion. You get the best of both worlds. You already have a lower than normal terror radius and knocking an extra 8 meters off of that makes sneaking up on survivors reasonably easy, plus the larger terror radius when chasing helps with the frenzy vision.

Remember Me is super easy to build stacks with on Legion. You can argue that it isn't a great perk to begin with, but Legion has the best synergy with that perk of all killers. Thanatophobia is also great with him. Yeah, I know the numbers aren't all that great, but keeping numerous survivors injured is super easy with Legion so that is the very definition of synergy.
