The Legion, a versatile killer in Dead by Daylight, is known for its unique ability to switch between multiple personalities. This guide provides detailed builds for beginners, mid-level, and advanced players, each with a table and insights.
Best Legion Builds in Dead by Daylight
Legion’s unique perks are particularly effective. However, you’ll need builds that are still useful even before you’ve fully unlocked all of Legion’s potential.
Best early game Legion build in DBD
This build is made for players who have trouble locating Survivors. It can be annoying to have missed the survivors all game because they’re too good, but this build highlights where they are.
You’ll receive a Loud Noise Notification if a crow is scared by survivors up to 36 meters away aswell as whenever more than one survivor repairs a nearby generator. When a survivor leaves, the aura will remain for up to four seconds. For five seconds after the generator is fixed, the auras of survivors within 16 meters will be revealed.
In addition, when you hit Dead by Daylight Survivors with basic attacks, they’ll suffer hemorrhages and mangled status effects.
| Perk | Description |
|---|---|
| Discordance | Marks generators within 64/96/128 meters with a yellow aura when repaired by two plus survivors, triggering a noise notification and lingering for four seconds if conditions change. |
| Sloppy Butcher | Basic attacks inflict Haemorrhage and Mangled status effects on survivors for 70/80/90 seconds, increasing bleeding frequency by 50/75/100 percent and speeding up healing regression due to Haemorrhage by 25 percent. |
| Bitter Murmur | Reveals the auras of survivors within 16 meters of any completed generator for five seconds, and reveals all survivors’ auras for 5/7/10 seconds when the last generator is completed. |
| Spies from the Shadows | Alerts you with a loud noise notification when a crow within 20/28/36 meters is startled by a survivor; has a five-second cooldown between alerts. |
Best mid game Legion build in DBD
This build enhances your ability to locate and hook survivors efficiently, combining perks that not only reveal their positions but also ensure you remain a threat while transporting a survivor. Discordance and Bitter Murmur provide excellent tracking capabilities, while Mad Grit and Iron Grasp ensure that your grip on the captured survivor is unyielding, allowing you to spam attacks and move survivors to hooks without interruption.

This Legion build is for players who normally have no issue finding and hooking players and have access to all Legion’s unique perks.
