.2B.12. Legion

Learn about Legion's stats, weapons, and unique powers in Mass Effect. Discover how to recruit him and unlock his loyalty mission for a powerful ally.

Legion is a unique squadmate in Mass Effect, a powerful geth unit with a distinct set of abilities and combat functions. Understanding his strengths and how to utilize him effectively can make a significant difference in your playthrough, especially when facing synthetic enemies.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 230
• Geth Shield: 350
• Weapon Damage: +25%
• Power Recharge Time: -25%
• Weapons: Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle

Powers:

• AI Hacking (Rank 3)
• Attack Drone (Rank 4)
• Geth Assassin (Rank 4)
• Geth Shield Boost (Rank 2)

Notes:

• Legion's drone can be very useful, though its effectiveness might vary depending on the difficulty level you're playing on.
• While Legion boasts strong weapon choices, some of his unique powers might feel less impactful than those of other squadmates.
• Geth Shield Boost can enhance his damage output, but finding the right moment to deploy it can be tricky, especially if you're often in the thick of combat or need to use other powers like AI Hacking or his drone in emergencies.
• To recruit Legion, you must not turn him over to Cerberus. Like Grunt, you'll need to activate him to join your squad.
• If you're aiming for the 'No One Left Behind' achievement, be aware that you'll likely have only one or two missions remaining (typically Legion's loyalty mission) before you must proceed through the Omega 4 Relay.
• Unlike most squadmates who might require several conversations or specific assignments before their loyalty mission becomes available, Legion's loyalty mission can be accessed immediately if you're at the right point in the game.
• Legion is particularly effective against other synthetic enemies due to his nature. However, his solid combination of firearms and drone support allows him to perform more than adequately against any enemy type.
