Revelation burrows through the material world, devours creation's soil, digests the thoughtless void, and produces significance with God's grace. From emptiness comes meaning, essence from existence, soul from matter. Is God through the wormhole? Did God grant us this boon, this new technology, a revelation from on high? These weapons are God's new prophecy, domain, and blessing. Let us use God's grace and prepare New Eden. We are God's soldiers, weapons, glory. Our people are God's army. Together, we are the legion. -The Heresies of Hinketsu SHIP BONUSES Amarr Defensive Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Amarr Defensive Systems effectiveness Amarr Offensive Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Amarr Offensive Systems effectiveness Amarr Propulsion Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Amarr Propulsion Systems effectiveness Amarr Core Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Amarr Engineering Systems effectiveness Amarr Strategic Cruiser bonuses (per skill level): • 5% reduction in module heat damage amount taken • 10% bonus to nanite repair paste repair speed Role Bonus: • 99% reduction in Scan Probe Launcher CPU requirements • Rigs may be removed from this ship without being destroyed Required Skills Amarr Strategic Cruiser I41m Amarr Cruiser V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command II47m Amarr Destroyer III8h 53m Amarr Frigate III8h 53m Spaceship Command I8m Amarr Defensive Systems I8m Mechanics V5d 22h 13m Shield Operation III4h 26m Power Grid Management I8m Amarr Core Systems I8m Power Grid Management V5d 22h 13m Amarr Offensive Systems I8m Gunnery V5d 22h 13m Drones III4h 26m Amarr Propulsion Systems I8m Navigation V5d 22h 13m Training Time what's this? 60d 11h 3m 50s Estimated training time only for the listed skills based on zero implants and without neural remaps.

Summary

The Legion is the Amarr Strategic Cruiser. Like other Tech 3 Strategic Cruisers, it is popular in wormholes because of its Battleship level tank and high damage in a cruiser sized package. Similar to other Amarr ships, it doesn't have the highest DPS, but its projection is higher than that of similar ships. For example, when compared to the Proteus, it does less damage, but it has nearly triple the optimal with short range ammo. Neuting Legion is also quite popular thanks to neuting subsystem and large Amarr cap.

Skills

To fly a Legion (or any other Tech 3 Cruiser for that matter), you will want a strong set of core skills (Power Grid Management 5, CPU Management 5, Weapon Upgrades 5, Gunnery 5, etc). Some of these skills are already included in the prerequisites, but there are some skills that are not technically required to fly it that are HIGHLY recommended before flying. Among these are :

• T2 Armor Tanking - Hull Upgrades 5, Armor Compensations at least to 3 (preferably 4) - ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY!

• Fitting Skills - Power Grid Management and CPU Management 5 are prerequisites. It is also recommended to have Weapon Upgrades to 5 (for Advanced Weapon Upgrades[AWU]), and AWU to at least 3 or 4

• Strategic Cruiser Skills - Amarr Strategic Cruiser at least 3 and Defensive Subsystem 5 are essential. For DPS Legions Offensive Subsystem 5 is recommended, neut Legions should have Core Subsystem 5.

• T2 Lasers - Medium Energy Turret 5, Medium Pulse Specialization 3 - This is not mandatory, but access to Scorch ammo could be very important to flying this ship effectively as a HAC style ship.

• Cap Skills - In addition to being useful for lasers, these are good for neuting Legions as well. Capacitor Management 4 and Capacitor System Operation 5 are recommended. If you plan to do neuting Legion, look at having Capacitor Emission Systems to 4 or 5, and finishing off Capacitor Management 5.

• Gunnery Support Skills - Try to have all applicable gunnery supports up to at least 4, especially Controlled Bursts (Cap is life!) Again these are not necessarily needed, but highly recommended.

• Other PvP Skills: Legion is bonused to reduce heat damage, and requires Power Grid Management 5. Thermodynamics up a few levels (at least 3) is a no brainer. Skills in the Navigation set such as Evasive Maneuvering, Acceleration Control, etc, are important for moving about the battlefield, and can help with tanking as well. In addition T2 warp disruption (including scrams) are a quick train and definitely worth the time if you haven't gotten them already

• If you want to do Missile Legion, you'll want good missile skills in addition to or instead of gunnery skills.

Tactics

AHAC Legion:

• Your main advantage over other AHAC T3s is damage projection, use this to your advantage to start applying damage immediately onto distant targets the fleet needs to burn to.

• Try to stay somewhat at your optimal to make sure you don't have any tracking issues. For example if you are engaging a close by hostile, try to stay 7.5-10km away when possible to reduce the amount of tracking your guns need and ensure clean hits.

Neuting Legion:

• How you play this will depend on the situation and fit. Ideally, you want a guardian or carrier cap feeding you to free up midslots.

• Remember to use the least amount of neuts possible. Once your target is dry, assuming they have no cap feed or injection, turn off about half of your neuts and place them somewhere else. Once someone is empty, it's much easier to keep them down unless they have a cap booster or ET going to them. This will allow you to not only keep down your primary neut target, but also be a nuisance to others as well.

• Good neut targets are Logistics, boosting ships, HICs, caphungry DPS (Lasers, Blasters), EWAR when in range and tackle.

• If you are without a cap feed, you will have to watch your cap extra carefully. Try to limit MWD use where at all possible, and keep an eye on your capacitor level.

• Swap your drones depending on how things are going. Your FC will probably have orders regarding EC drones, otherwise DPS drones are useful for helping kill the damage primary. You may also want to swap to ECM or damage drones on someone harassing you depending on the situation.

• Remember that if needed, you can neut out many types of small tackle so you can get out

Subsystems

Like other Strategic Cruisers, many of the stats of the Legion are determined by what subsystems are installed. The Legion requires one subsystem from each of the Core, Defensive, Offensive, and Propulsion subsystems. Each category has three options, offering different bonuses and stats to the Legion.

Patch History

A long, long time ago...

18.04 Release - Build: 1706308 - 2020-04-15 - "Surgical Strike" Update (Patch Notes) Powergrid reduced from 700 MW to 625 MW (-75 MW) October 2019 Release - 2019-10-15.1 Every Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship now warps faster than before. Warp Speed increased from 3 AU/s to 4 AU/s (+1 AU/s) July 2017 Release - Released 2017-07-11 Tech 3 Strategic Cruisers have been rebalanced. Details of the goals behind this change can be found in this devblog. The available subsystems have been condensed into a smaller number of more powerful and useful choices. Strategic Cruisers now have four subsystem slots (reduced from five) with three choices in each slot (reduced from 4) Rigs can now be freely removed from Strategic Cruisers without destroying them. All Strategic Cruisers have received a dedicated subsystem bay so they can carry alternate configurations along with them on their adventures Each of the Strategic Cruiser hulls and subsystems have been rebalanced. All the details can be found in the following forum thread: https://meta.eveonline.com/t/july-release-strategic-cruisers/8414/3 New Base Stats: Slot layout: 0H, 0M, 0L; 0 turrets, 0 launchers 3 Rig Slots, 400 Calibration Fittings: 700 PWG, 220 CPU Defense (shields / armor / hull) : 1800 / 2900 / 1800 Base shield resistances (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp): 0 / 20 / 55 / 75 Base armor resistances (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp): 50 / 35 / 43.75 / 60 Capacitor (amount / recharge rate / average cap per second) : 1800 / 450 / 4 Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 185 / 0.52 / 14,500,000 / 10.45s Warp Speed: 3 au/s Drones (bandwidth / bay): 0 / 0 Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 70km / 230 / 6 Sensor strength: 17 Radar Signature radius: 170 Cargo capacity: 400 Subsystem Bay: 120
