Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Legion will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd/-HP

The best IVs for Legion are +Spd and -HP. A higher Spd stat allows Legion to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. It also protects him from hostile follow-up attacks. His HP is of less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Legion to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, he can reach 42 Spd which is at a range wherein he can score lots of follow-up attacks if he has ample support from allies.

Legion Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Legion's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Sneering Axe	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 Inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of foe's stats × 2. Calculates each stat penalty independently. After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts【Panic】on target and foes within 2 spaces of target. 【Panic】 Converts bonuses on target into penalties through its next action. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd+5 and Special cooldown charge +1 per unit's attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sneering Axe

The special effect refine for Sneering Axe further improves Legion's offenses by adding more Atk and Spd on top of speeding his special trigger.

Sneering Axe is already a very powerful debuff weapon that exploits bonuses on a foe. It takes the total bonuses on a foe, neutralizes them and converts them into penalties. The added offensive ability from the refine makes sure that Legion poses a threat to many enemy line-ups.

Legion Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legion Roles

Legion - Masked Maniac Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Legion is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Legion Strengths

Convert Enemy Bonuses into Penalties

Legion's Axe+ converts foe's bonuses into penalties after combat. This makes Legion a great match-up against parties that run skills likeHone Cavalry or Tactical Bolt and Tactical Gale.

Access to a Special Effect Refine

Legion's exclusive weapon, the Sneering Axe, is a more powerful debuff weapon compared to Legion's Axe+ and has a special effect refine that further increases his offensive prowess. Click here to find out more about Sneering Axe and its effects.

All-Stat Buff from Fury

Legion's native A skill is Fury 3 which grants him +3 to all stats, but inflicts -6 HP every time he exits combat. A good statline allows him to be deadly in both phases, but make sure to pair him up with healers to make up for the after-combat damage. Reyson or Leanne makes a great support unit for Legion as they are both dancers that provide passive healing. If you prefer, you can also integrate skills such as Vantage 3 or Brazen skills to take advantage of tis HP side-effect.

High Atk and Spd

Legion possesses high Atk and Spd stats that can be further improved through merges, dragonflowers and skills.

Legion Weaknesses

Low Defenses

Legion's Def and Res sit at only 22 and 18 respectively. This makes him extremely fragile. Take note that Legion's base kit includes Fury 3 which makes him even more susceptible to getting taken out.
