Exploration Achievements — Songs of Conquest Guide

Learn all about the Legion unit in Songs of Conquest! Discover its stats, upgrades to High Legion, lore, and how to effectively use it in your Barony of Loth armies.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Songs of Conquest and want to know about the Legion? Awesome choice! Let's break down this unit from the Barony of Loth. ## Legion Think of the Legion as a basic but really solid unit for the Barony of Loth. It's actually a collection of Oathbound who were buried too close together, their essences fusing into a single, spectral unit. Pretty cool, right? ### What it does: * Debuffs enemies: Legions actually lower the initiative and defense of any nearby enemies. This can be super handy for setting up your other troops! * Upgrade path: You can upgrade your Legion to a High Legion, which is a significant power boost. ### Special Ability: Frightful The Frightful special is a big deal, and currently, only Legions, High Legions, and Tremors can get it through a tier 3 troop improvement. Honestly, it's one of the best specials in the game, so if you can get it, do it! ## High Legion When you upgrade your Legion to a High Legion, you're getting some seriously powerful troops. They have excellent stats and some potent abilities. ### The Trade-off: Be warned, though: High Legions have very poor initiative and movement. This means they can be slow to get into the fight. To make them work, you'll want to focus on getting Order and Arcana essences. Spells like Dimensional Door and Quicken will be your best friends for getting them into combat faster. While some Chaos spells could help, remember that no Barony of Loth units naturally produce Chaos, so you'll need to find other ways to get those if you go that route. ## Lore These aren't just any soldiers; they're fused Oathbound. The lore mentions that bringing their essence back is considered the 'ultimate achievement of the Necromancers of the Unseen Society,' requiring 'tremendous power.' It also ties them to the ancient armies of the Aurelian Empire, with the best being known as the High Legions. There's even a mention of a specific Cenotaph honoring the fallen from the Legion of the Eagles in the first war against the dragons. ## Gallery There's some concept art available for the Legion, which is always neat to see how the developers envisioned them! Good luck with your Legions on the battlefield!
