Thank you to the thousands of players who recently got the game! For all the new players, make sure to watch the How To Play Video and read the Official Gameplay Guide.


As a 4-person indie team, we're incredibly thankful to you all. We've poured our hearts into Legion TD 2 over the last 7 years 10 months of development. For those who have been around since early access, you have been instrumental in making Legion TD 2 what it is today. It's a dream come true going from a Warcraft 3 mod to Kickstarter to early access to full launch. We hope you love the game as much as we do. See you on the ladder!

To celebrate the game's launch, we're doing an AMA on reddit. Ask us about modding, game development, future plans for the game, our favorite pizza, or anything!

Sincerely,
Lisk, Jules, Curing, and Dani

The Divine have descended onto the grounds of Nova, casting a blinding golden light. Do not mistake their holiness and beauty for graciousness. They bring justice through conviction and eradication, and without mercy. These ethereal beings believe only servants of the Divine deserve ascension, and they seek to cleanse the world of the unworthy. Are you worthy?

Holy Avenger, Sovereign, and the Divine legion unlock when the game full launches on October 1st. Make sure to play this weekend to try the new units, join in on the launch hype, and enjoy +100% essence gain and card drop rates!



Gold cost: 270
Health: 2400
Damage: 96
Attack speed: 1.25
Range: 100 (Melee)
Attack type: Impact
Defense type: Swift


Aegis
Holy Avenger gains 0.1 mana every time she is attacked and 2 mana every time she attacks. Each 10% mana increases her attack speed and damage reduction by 4%. At maximum mana, her attacks deal 25% splash damage in a small radius.





Upgrade cost: 430
Health: 6200
Damage: 236
Attack speed: 1.25
Range: 100 (Melee)
Attack type: Impact
Defense type: Swift


Final Judgment
Sovereign gains 0.15 mana every time he is attacked and 3 mana every time he attacks. Each 10% mana increases his attack speed and damage reduction by 4%. At maximum mana, his attacks deal 25% splash damage in a large radius.




Holy Avenger and Sovereign are the newest hyper-carries to the game. Among the few Impact / Swift units, they are off-tanks with both solid DPS and durability.

Optimal positioning means having them tank some of the wave (to make use of their health pool and ramp up their mana gain faster), but not too much, so they stay alive, unlock their splash effect, and dish out maximum damage.



Butcher / Head Chef / Vampire
Lifesteal synergizes with their damage reduction, attack speed, and area of effect damage.


APS / MPS / Dark Mage / Pulverizer
Attack speed increases their DPS and amplifies the rate of their on-hit mana gain.


Sacred Steed / Pegasus / Starcaller / Magician
Mana gain makes them stack up and unlock their splash effect faster.


Desert Pilgrim / Lost Chieftain / Titan / Guardian Angel
Healing and bonus health synergize with their damage reduction and allow them to soak more damage for faster mana gain.


Whitemane / Ocean Templar / Hero
Percent effects are strong on high cost units like Sovereign.

Oathbreaker
- Health: 1140 >> 1100

Steam Achievements are finally here! Unlock 52 achievements to show off your progression in the game. More to come in the future.

Some achievements will be instantly given when you log on if you’ve already met the conditions. However, some achievements you’ll have to earn again. This is because certain stats weren’t tracked before these achievements were implemented.

Happy achievement hunting!

With the release of Holy Avenger and Sovereign, the Divine legion will also become playable.




Select high rated games are now saved and highlighted as "Top Games" (in Leaderboards) to help players learn strategies and improve their builds.

• Updated other languages

Eco Strategy (only workers)
- No longer gives extra gold to the opposing team
- Now gives reduced leak gold to the eco player

Eco is in a bad balance spot where the eco player is rewarded and becomes the late game carry/hero, but at the expense of the team. The team has to adapt and cater to that player's strategy, which isn't fun.

These changes shift agency and power into the eco player's teammates.


King
- Lightning Hammer: +6% damage
- Immolation, Judgement, Chain Frost: -2% damage



Pulverizer
- Stun duration against bosses: 0.5 >> 0.3



Gargoyle
- Attack speed: 0.94 >> 0.93


Green Devil
- Attack speed: 1.33 >> 1.32

Gargoyle and Green Devil were already strong. After Dino changed from fortified to natural, they became even stronger.

- Health: 240 >> 230


Sky Queen
- Health: 1350 >> 1310


Zeus
- Power Surge: Damage: 170 >> 165

Deathcap
- Health: 4200 >> 4250


Berserker
- Health: 2180 >> 2160


Fatalizer
- Health: 6250 >> 6200


Disciple
- Mana regeneration: +5%


Great Boar
- Health: 3250 >> 3220


Red Eyes
- Health: 8300 >> 8220


Millennium/Doomsday Machine
- Attack speed: 0.59 >> 0.61



Imp
- Attack speed: 1.18 >> 1.16


Ogre
- Attack speed: 1.33 >> 1.37


Shifting some more power from 12 and 15 to 11, 13, and 14.


(11) Quill Shooters

(12) Mantises
- Attack speed: 0.98 >> 0.965


(13) Drill Golems

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
