League mechanics: Legion.
Location: They can be encountered by touching a Timeless Monolith, which breaks out the Legions and gives the player a window of time to defeat them.
Players can find a Legion by interacting with a Timeless Monolith. There are several ways to find these Monoliths:
Item | Stats |
---|---|
Gilded Legion Scarab |
|
Polished Legion Scarab |
|
Rusted Legion Scarab |
|
Winged Legion Scarab |

Legion map modifiers are occasionally offered by Zana on maps she offers through her Master Missions. Her crafting also makes it possible to add these modifiers through Map Device, however the list of league modifiers available this way changes when a new challenge league begins (current list).
Monoliths will not spawn in small or cramped areas (Ex. the indoors part of Glacier Map), so some zones cannot spawn them altogether (Ex. The Tidal Island). Interacting with the Monolith will reveal a battle between two Legions that is frozen in time. During this phase, the enemies can be “killed”. A timer will start once the Monolith is activated. The timer can range from 14 to 20 seconds, with a longer timer on lower level zones. Once the timer runs out, all the enemies that had their health depleted will become unfrozen and start attacking. Enemies that didn’t have their health depleted will disappear.
Some Legion enemies have a symbol above their heads, indicating what kind of reward they drop. Chests and War Hoards can also spawn, which can be destroyed and opened after the timer runs out. Destroying a Chest or War Hoard will free all nearby enemies without symbols in radius. Rarely, a General of the Legion can spawn.
Generally, rarer spawns will spawn further away from the monolith, and generals will always spawn in the far rear of the formation. Therefore, it’s advised to move deep into a formation as quickly as possible if you are looking for rare spawns. Furthermore, if a general spawns, the monolith will display a marker on the bottom in the direction of the general, so check the monolith to see if a general spawned.
