Legion

Mixed Phase Special Spam Build. Can duel most red units on Enemy Phase with his excellent Spd and Atk. Panic Ploy for increased utility to tank and potentially reduce the risk of an enemy unit outspeeding or potentially match the speed of Legion.

Return of the Masked Maniac

While there are some much stronger green units out there like Hector and M!Grima, Legion is one unit that shouldn't be overlooked. Boasting some pretty high HP, Attack, and Speed befitting a Berserker, Legion is an axe user you should look into if you don't have any of the high-ranking greens on hand.

Legion's Assist skill options are Reciprocal Aid and Reposition; RA is used for a one-time heal for someone with high HP like Arden while setting him up for Desperation, while Reposition can be used to get mages out of the way of physical units that he can take hits from.

His special boils down to Luna and Moonbow, both allowing Legion to hit through even the defenses of Armor units. Luna is used if more power is desired, whereas Moonbow is easier to charge and use at the cost of Luna's extra defensive bypass.

His main weapon is Slaying Axe+ with Speed refine, which grants him even more of a speed boost to prevent even doubles from units that aren't running Brave weapons or the Axe-Breaker skill. This also speeds up the charge time of his specials which can help Legion pull a come from behind win against even some red units. An alternative budget weapon is his default weapon with Speed refine as well, especially since the refine allows Legion to spread Panic status to all units that are close to the target he hit which can be ideal for shutting down Blade Tome units like the ever present Nino.

A-skill is Life and Death 3, bringing his Attack and Speed up to some pretty high levels at the cost of his already low physical and magical defenses. Legion's default Fury 3 is a good budget option since his high speed can at least prevent a double from a red mage(with Fury 3 he survived both a red mage hit with enough HP to survive an attack from Valter during his Lunatic GHB). An expensive option, which has long past, is Brazen Atk/Spd 2; with Legion's high HP, he can survive a hit to activate this skill and even kill with it if he has...

Desperation 3 is the B-skill of choice given the Masked Maniac's monstrous speed, which can stack up very nicely with any of the A-skills listed. Axe and Lance Breaker are his other options, giving him some doubling power against units of that type at the cost of them possibly being able to kill him if they get lucky.

Legion's C-skill is flexible depending on your team and skills; Spur Atk/Spd 2 from Sothe allow long range units to get hits and possibly doubles if there is a unit within striking distance, Threaten Def 3 makes Legion's attacks hit with more force and can help possibly kill his opponent, Threaten Spd 3 is used to help Legion double units if there is a speed tie between himself and his target. Another option is Panic Ploy due to Legion's great HP stat, though you have to make sure whoever he's targeting is within his line of sight.

Legion's seals boil down to Spd+3and Heavy Blade 3; Spd+3 is used to give him as much speed as possible for getting/avoiding doubles, while Heavy Blade can get his specials to charge faster because of his great Attack stat.

In terms of teammates Delthea is a pretty solid choice; Dark Aura's Hone Atk boost plus her natural Drive Atk 2 gives Legion the extra firepower needed to kill anything, while also keeping reds and some blues away from Legion. In return Legion can deal with strong blues and even other greens, plus if he's running Spur Atk/Spd 2 with Delthea right beside him she can even handle low Resistance greens and can pull her back if he has Reposition for his assist skill.

Legion has good speed, but 35 isn't enough to do more than match the top tier speed units. Combined with his axe, which causes a panic effect, he makes phenomenal use of Windsweep. With fury he gets buffed to 53 and 38, which are great offensive stat lines, and 25 defence means he should survive one round of combat. With Windsweep and the Phantom Speed seal, he gets a free attack on anyone with 42 or less speed, and with them wounded and given the panic status, when they attack him they will most likely be killed in the counter attack. With Savage Blow he deals 7 extra damage to enemies, but he could also run and Smoak skill, or Threaten. Panic Ploy also helps with his high HP stats.

With this build Legion can kill literally every melee infantry unit whilst in BA range. Life and Death helps him to function in scenarios where his health can't be dropped into BA range.

This build is much more potent with the help of a +3 Spd seal, this further bolsters Legion's speed stat to make quad striking his opponents much more easier. In fact with the upgraded speed seal, he becomes a more powerful version of Raven.
