Community Content
We want to give a shout-out to two community members, Bonny and Shadowings, who have been making awesome Legion TD 2 content recently. We recommend watching their game casts to learn strategies and improve.




Yolo
+6 income and get a fully random roll (6 fully random fighters). You still have your 1 lucky Reroll.

Yolo is meant to be a risky, fun option for players that enjoy thinking on their feet and maximum variety. Full disclosure: it's probably not great for climbing the ranks. Use at your own risk.

Yolo is unlockable in the shop for essence (currency earned from playing).




Redraw
+3 income and +2 Rerolls (on any wave)

The old Redraw let you swap out your entire roll only on wave 1. The new Redraw gives you 2 additional Rerolls on any wave.

Redraw is unlockable in the shop for essence (currency earned from playing). Anyone who owned the old Redraw option will still own the new one.




Death by Natural Causes
Has a chance to drop when your King dies without being sent any mercenaries that wave.

Secret Card Drop Rates
- Increased drop rates of This Is Fine, No-Touchy Yozora, Fiesta, Et tu, Brute?, Sunny Side Eggsack, Dank Mage, Bee Mine Forever, Dizzy Mole, and C H O N K Y Nekomata

- Game Coach now gives a shout-out when there’s a top ranked player in your game. Ranks are based on the queue you are playing.
- Top 250 players are always announced. If no top 250 players are in the game, the highest ranked player will be announced

Now that the game is soon exiting Early Access and nearing full release, player XP, guild XP, essence, and cards are receiving a big boost.

Essence
- Players now gain x3-5 the amount of essence on average.
- Essence cost for some items x2-3. Essence cost of cards is unchanged.
- Essence can now be used for name resets, instead of requiring premium essence.
- Essence bonus from Guild Contribution: 1% --> 3%.

Cards
- Card premium essence price: 1250 --> 395
- Bonus card drop rate per Pity Point: 1% --> 2%
- Due to higher essence gain, players can now acquire x3-5 the number of cards from the Card Trader.
- Cards can now be shown off in game as monuments.

Cards were ultra rare items. They are still rare, but no longer like a unicorn or grainy picture of the Loch Ness Monster. Cards are now significantly cheaper at the Card Trader, drop slightly more often, and have more real value. Cards are collectibles that can be used as avatars, shown off in game as monuments, and donated for Guild XP. They also add to your collection value.

Collect one of every card, or collect multiple of the same card for special borders and pedestals.

Leveling
- Players now level up significantly faster (x3 on average).

Guilds
- Guilds now level up significantly faster from levels 1 to 5.
- Guild application cooldown: 6 hours --> No cooldown.
- Due to higher essence gain, it's now 50% cheaper to apply to guilds.
- Players that are booted from guilds now get a partial essence refund.
- It's now much easier to find active, recruiting guilds. Browsing guilds now shows recently active guilds with room for new members, rather than random guilds.
- Bonus Guild XP and Contribution during Guild Wars: x2 --> x3
- Bonus Guild XP and Contribution from donating first card of that type: x2 --> x3

Weekly Challenge
- Players tied in first place each week now receive a Challenger Elite trophy and 2500 essence.
- The “First Place Finishes” leaderboard is still reserved for the first player to reach the top score.
- The Weekly Challenge “Top 20” leaderboard is replaced with “Weekly Challenge Wins” which is now awarded to anyone tied in first place.


4v4 Dual Building
- Enemy tab screen (Tab + Space) now supports dual building, rather than not showing their builds.

Quality of Life
- You can no longer use legion spells on units that have zero effect (Villain/Pulverizer on Soul Gate, Sorcerer on units with no ability damage).

Pathing & Targeting
- Fixed a bug where King wouldn't properly switch targets from its current target if a better target was available.
- All tank mercenaries now spawn slightly less in front to reduce the aggro difference when getting a tank send vs. no tank send.
- Fixed a case where ranged mercenaries would unexpectedly “snipe” backline fighters.
- Fixed a few other cases of pathing behaving unexpectedly.
- Fixed a case in the 4v4 map when catching leaks where fighters would keep trying to turn back when there were enemies in front of them.

Fixes & Improvements
- Fixed unintended interactions with Starcaller/Magician and Kingpin, Infiltrator, and Orchid.
- Fixed some cases where Sea Serpent/Deepcoiler didn’t play their burrow animation.
- Fixed a bug where Classic losses always displayed as 0 or 1 after finishing a game, instead of your actual classic losses that season.
- Fixed a bug where a client wouldn’t connect/reconnect to the Lobby server after finishing a game, which resulted in an unresponsive game client.
- Fixed a bug where alt + clicking a unit to ping it would accidentally select that unit, too.
- UI Scale (Experimental) capped at 200 instead of 300. Reminder that this is an experimental, currently unsupported feature. If you experience issues, set it to 100.
- Merged "Toggle Environment Assets" and "Enable High Quality Terrain" options into a single "Enable Full Scenery" option which provides similar performance, but retains more quality.
- When browsing Collection or Skins, it is now less laggy when scrolling up/down.
- Reduced ping spamming
-- All players have more consistent ping limits. Max 4 pings stored, recovering a ping every 2 seconds.
-- Chat banned players now have much stricter ping limits and cannot ping power score.



King
- Now 20-25% stronger in the early game, 10-20% stronger in the mid game, and 0-5% stronger in the late game.
- Fixed a bug where the king didn’t switch to a higher priority target, most noticeably on waves 10, 15, and 20.
- Upgrade Regeneration: 0.005% missing health + 0.005% max health >> 0.004% missing health + 0.004% max health.

Encouraging early game risk-taking and aggression with king health buffs and power mercenary buffs.

Leak Gold
- Gold gained from enemy leaks reduced by 5%.
- Leak gold is now deterministic, rather than random. 1.5 rounds up and always gives 2 gold, rather than granting 1 gold 50% of the time and 2 gold 50% of the time.
- Players that are behind now gain a larger share of enemy leak gold.

4v4
- Starting workers: 2 >> 1
- Leak gold (all sources) increased by 70% (now same as 2v2)
- 4v4-specific wave buffs on waves 11-21 reverted (now same as 2v2)

4v4 has an insanely bloated economy. Despite cutting leak gold many times, adding 4v4-specific wave buffs, and nerfing the king, 41% of games currently go to wave 21, usually causing lag. The above changes get things in a healthier spot, where worker counts and economy are more comparable to 2v2.

Hybrid
- Gold costs:
-- Tier 2: 44 >> 45
-- Tier 3: 81 >> 83
-- Tier 4: 130 >> 132
-- Tier 5: 180 >> 182
-- Tier 6: 254 >> 256

- Damage: 20 >> 19
- Junior Fisherman: Mana per dying unit: 1 >> 2

Bounty Hunter
- Health: 1700 >> 1660
- Damage: 82 >> 78
- Can now gain mana from Magician and Starcaller

Bounty Hunter is statistically the best opening in the game. It is the #1 most common and #1 highest win rate opening in high Elo.


Zeus
- Power Surge: Damage: 80 >> 170
- Power Surge: Mana cost doubled

This change makes Zeus viable with Magician, Starcaller, Sacred Steed, and Pegasus (Zeus get stuck at max mana less often).


Pyro
- Attack speed: 1.59 >> 1.61

Small compensation buff for changes to waves 8 and 15.


Sky Queen
- Damage 69 >> 72
- Mana synergy with Magician, Starcaller, Sacred Steed, and Pegasus increased by 25%


Ranger
- Damage: 26 >> 27


Daphne
- Damage: 73 >> 75
- Mark Target: Damage amplification against bosses: 0.25 >> 0.5
- Mark Target: Max stacks: 20 >> 10


Bazooka
- Damage: 32 >> 33


Aqua Spirit
- Attack speed: 0.73 >> 0.74


Fire Elemental
- Damage: 33 >> 31 (Combustion damage unchanged)

Nekomata
- Attack speed: 0.91 >> 0.92


Golden Buckler
- Attack speed: 0.79 >> 0.77


Royal Guard
- Attack speed: 0.91 >> 0.88

Sacred Steed
- Mana regeneration increased by 5%
- Self buff (when no mana users around): 40% attack speed >> 20% attack speed and 20% damage reduction
- Mana synergy with Magician and Starcaller increased by 100% (Sacred Steed was unexpectedly the worst unit to buff with Magician or Starcaller)


Pegasus
- Mana regeneration increased by 5%
- Self buff (when no mana users around): 40% attack speed >> 20% attack speed and 20% damage reduction


Warg
- Health: 980 >> 960

Lioness
- Health: 2360 >> 2300

Warg is currently the premier natural fighter with a 94% pick rate and solid win rate. It has efficient stats and versatility with two upgrade paths.


Gateguard / Harbinger
- +5% mana regeneration


Windhawk
- DPS: Unchanged
-- Damage: 46 >> 35
-- Attack speed: 0.97 >> 1.27

Now perfectly 3-shots wave 1. Bringing back Windhawk as an opening and introducing more openings that leak to Snail to mix up the wave 1 meta.


Infiltrator
- Health: 740 >> 720


Orchid
- Health: 2600 >> 2520

Deathcap
- Health: 4050 >> 4100

Small compensation buffs for the changes to waves 8 and 15.


Butcher
- Health: 1300 >> 1350
- Attack speed: 0.97 >> 1.01


Head Chef
- Health: 3600 >> 3730
- Attack speed: 0.97 >> 1.01

Making Butcher a more competitive pick with natural tanks like Warg, Antler, and Golden Buckler.


Antler
- Thick Hide: Bonus damage reduction when build next to Whitemane: 15% >> 10%

Antler has a 93% pick rate. Rather than nerf its base stats, we’re nerfing how much free damage reduction it gets with Whitemane. Antler’s insane self-synergy with Whitemane makes multi-tank combos like Whitemane + Golem or King Claw less rewarding than they should be.


Grarl
- Attack speed: 0.87 >> 0.86

Now leaks 1 extra Wale to a Snail on wave 2 when solo


King Claw
- Health: 4350 >> 4450


Ocean Templar
- Resonance: Regeneration: 1.75% >> 2%


APS
- Health: 900 >> 870
- Attack speed: 1.49 >> 1.45


MPS
- Health: 2350 >> 2230
- DPS: 148 >> 146
-- Damage: 99 >> 101
-- Attack speed: 1.49 >> 1.45


Radiant Halo / Arc of Justice
- Attack speed: 1.09 >> 1.07


Starcaller
- Self mana regeneration reduced by 0.1
- Amplify Magic aura: Mana regeneration: 0.5 >> 0.6


Millennium
- Health: 2000 >> 2100


Doomsday Machine
- Health: 4900 >> 5140

Reverting the last hotfix nerfs during the AOE meta, which over-nerfed these units.


Soul Gate / Hell Gate
- Mana regeneration increased by 4%


Right now, it’s too strong to play safely by income sending and scaling, then all-inning late game. Power mercenary buffs create a leakier, more fun game and reward aggression, especially in the early game. Power mercenaries are now more likely to cause leaks, but with king buffs and bounty changes, those leaks are no longer as game-breaking.


Lizard
- DPS: Unchanged
- Damage: 24 >> 34
- Attack speed: 1.05 >> 0.75

Less of a hard counter to Fire Lord and Fenix.


Brute
- Health: 820 >> 870
- Attack speed: 0.87 >> 0.89

Brute has fallen from grace and is the lowest win rate mercenary in both low and high Elo.


Hermit
- Attack speed: 0.95 >> 1


Dino
- Health: 1200 >> 1260
- Damage: 66 >> 62

It’s now more rewarding to outplay opponents by predicting and kiting tank mercenaries.


Imp
- Attack speed: 1.18 >> 1.25


Safety Mole
- Safety Aura: Damage reduction: 3 >> 4


Pack Leader
- Damage: 102 >> 110


Mimic
- Income: 45 >> 40
- Health: 2150 >> 2320
- Attack speed: 1.02 >> 1.11

Mimic is now a power mercenary and the premier early game pierce damage dealer. Still has the Plunder ability for cash money.


Ogre
- Health: 2800 >> 2900
- Attack speed: 1.3 >> 1.33


Witch
- Attack speed: 1.56 >> 1.59
- Damage: 34 >> 36


Ghost Knight
- Health: 3250 >> 3450
- Damage: 195 >> 185


Four Eyes
- Attack speed: 2.27 >> 2.33


Centaur
- Health: 5000 >> 5380
- Attack speed: 1.74 >> 1.64


Siege Ram
- Health: 5350 >> 5550
- Damage: 300 >> 292


Shaman
- Attack speed: 1.25 >> 1.3


Kraken
- Health: 6600 >> 6950
- Damage: 305 >> 291



(8) Kobras
- Attack range: 250 >> 400
- Attack speed: 1.12 >> 1.09


(15) Quadrapuses
- Quadrapus: Attack range: 250 >> 400
- Giant Quadrapus: Attack range: 450 >> 550
- Attack speed: 1.16 >> 1.14

The range of waves 8 and 15 now match that of wave 19. This makes tank mercenaries a clearer counter to AOE on those waves.
