How Feral Frenzy works
Feral Frenzy is the heart of the Legion's kit. It turns them into a fast, relentless threat for a short time.Feral Frenzy step by step
- Activate the power: Feral Frenzy lasts up to 11 seconds.
- Move faster: Your speed rises to 5.2 m/s and your terror radius grows.
- Vault quickly: Feral Vault lets you vault pallets and windows fast.
- Slash survivors: Each Feral Slash causes Deep Wound and refills your power.
- Chain hits: Consecutive slashes add extra speed, and a long chain can become lethal.
When Feral Frenzy ends
Hitting a survivor who already has Deep Wound, or missing a slash, ends the Frenzy. Afterward, the Legion suffers fatigue and slows down for 2.5 seconds. Therefore, good Legion players pick targets carefully and avoid wasting the Frenzy on wounded survivors. Planning your route before activating the power makes a big difference.Deep Wound explained
- Bleed-out timer: Survivors with Deep Wound have 20 seconds to mend.
- Self-mending: Takes 10 seconds.
- Co-op mending: Takes 6 seconds with a teammate's help.
- Killer Instinct: Feral Slash reveals nearby survivors who are not already wounded.
The Legion's perks
The Legion brings three unique perks that work well on many killers.Unique perks
- Discordance: Reveals generators being repaired by two or more survivors with a yellow aura.
- Iron Maiden: Speeds up locker searches, and survivors who leave lockers become Exposed and make a loud noise.
- Mad Grit: While carrying a survivor, missed attacks have no cooldown, and hitting others pauses the carried survivor's wiggle.
How to use them
Discordance is a strong information perk that helps you find groups working together. Meanwhile, Iron Maiden punishes survivors who hide in lockers. Mad Grit is a fun, high-skill perk that rewards hitting rescuers while you carry someone. It works best when survivors try body blocks or flashlight saves near you.Legion masks, cosmetics, and prestige
Because the Legion has four members, it offers more cosmetic variety than most killers. Many players pick a favorite member just for the look.Cosmetic options
- Four base characters: Frank, Julie, Susie, and Joey each have a unique model.
- Masks: The signature masks are the most recognizable part of the Legion's look.
- Outfits from the store: Additional outfits and pieces appear in the in-game store.
- Mix and match: Some pieces can be combined to create a custom style.
Prestige and teachable perks
Prestiging the Legion adds Tier I of its perks to other killers' inventories. Two further prestiges unlock Tiers II and III for everyone else. Therefore, even if you do not main the Legion, prestiging them is a good way to share Discordance, Iron Maiden, and Mad Grit with your other killers.Building around Feral Frenzy
The Legion pairs well with perks that slow generator progress, since survivors already lose time mending. Information perks like Discordance also help you find groups for chain slashes. In addition, perks that reward hitting multiple survivors fit the Legion's style of spreading damage across the team.How to play the Legion
The Legion excels at spreading pressure. Their power makes survivors spend time mending instead of repairing generators.Killer tips
- Spread Deep Wound: Hit multiple survivors to force everyone to mend.
- Avoid wounded targets: Hitting a Deep Wounded survivor ends the Frenzy.
- Use Killer Instinct: Feral Slash reveals nearby survivors to chase next.
- Chain slashes: Consecutive hits build speed for longer chases.
A simple game plan
- Find groups: Use Discordance to locate survivors working together.
- Frenzy into the group: Slash several survivors in one burst.
- Chase the weakest: Follow up on survivors who cannot mend quickly.
- Hook and repeat: Keep pressure on generators by forcing mending.
How to play against the Legion
Survivors can beat the Legion with good spacing and smart mending.Survivor tips
- Spread out: Groups give the Legion easy chain slashes.
- Mend together: Co-op mending is much faster than self-mending.
- Stay near pallets: Feral Vault is fast, but pallets still buy time.
- Watch the terror radius: It grows during Feral Frenzy, warning you early.
Mending smartly
Mend as soon as the Legion leaves the area, because the 20-second timer keeps running. If a teammate is nearby, mending together saves several seconds and gets everyone back on generators faster.Pro Tips: Legion DBD
- Target healthy survivors: They give you the most value.
- Do not miss slashes: A miss ends the Frenzy and causes fatigue.
- Pair with slowdown perks: Mending time stacks with generator pressure.
