==Description==
'''Legion''' is a [[Challenge Maps|challenge map]]. It uses a modified version of the [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode as its wave structure. Triumphing on this map rewards the player with {{Gem|110}}, {{Exp|330}}, {{TimeScaleTicket|2}} and two [[High Grade Crate]]s. Like with other challenges, rewards can only be gotten once a week.

==Changes==
The main change in this challenge is enemies spawning twice as much, with some exceptions, and the wave structure being altered, making it harder. Unlike the [[All Paths]] modifier, bosses do spawn on both sides, meaning two [[Fallen King]]s spawn on this map.

===Enemies===
All enemy replacements from [[Enemies Beta]] are applied here, with the exception of the [[Dark Necromancer]] and [[Summoner Boss]] if the selected map does not have [[Enemies Beta]].

A few regular enemies also have their health values, which for most of them is changed to match their previous [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode health values.
*[[Abnormal]] - 6 health ({{Color|No|-2}})
*[[Quick]] - 4 health ({{Color|No|-6}})
*[[Heavy]] - 16 health ({{Color|No|-44}})
*[[Breaker2]] - 50 health ({{Color|No|-30}})
*[[Fallen]] - 180 health ({{Color|No|-45}})
*[[Necromancer King]] - 14,000 health ({{Color|No|-61,000}})
*[[Cursed Skeleton]] - 500 ({{Color|No|-750}})
*[[Fallen Hero]] - 5,000 health ({{Color|Yes|+2,000}})
*[[Fallen Guardian]] - 14,000 health ({{Color|No|-18,000}})
*[[Fallen King]] - 75,000 health ({{Color|No|-125,000}})

===Wave Structure===
'''Bolded ''' names indicate an enemy type's debut. If the [[All Paths]] modifier is present on the map, all enemies will be duplicated for each path except the [[Fallen King]].

===Cash===
Starting cash in this challenge is increased by {{Money|200}}, making it {{Money|700}} ({{Money|800}} if in the Paradoxum Games group). Additionally, the wave bonus is also decreased. 

For solo and duo, they calculated as:
:<big>{{Money|125}} + ({{Money|25}} × Waves Completed - 1)</big>
Depending on player count, the wave bonus is reduced using multipliers. These multipliers are:
{| class="wikitable pad-10 align-center" style="width:50%; margin:1em auto"

!Total Reduction
|-
|Solo
|0%
|0%
|-
|Duo
|15%
|30%
|-
|Trio
|13%
|39%
|}

The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed. It is 35% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo and trio it is 20%.

==Strategy==
*Due to the large amount of enemies, you generally gain a larger amount of cash, enabling you to afford more DPS towers compared to normal games.
*Area of effect towers are recommended because large groups of enemies spawn in this challenge.
**Towers like the [[Golden Pyromancer]], [[Pyromancer]] and [[Electroshocker]] are very useful early on.
**The [[Mortar]] and [[Pursuit]] are especially useful for this challenge, as they have high range and cannot get stunned.
*Single target DPS options like the [[Accelerator]], [[Golden Minigunner]] and [[Ranger]] are still valuable, as enemies such as the [[Warden]] have a lot of health.
**As the enemy count is doubled, the [[Cowboy]] and the [[Golden Cowboy]] can generate much more income in this challenge.
*Towers with hidden detection should be placed down early on, as early [[Nimble]] [[Shadows]] may result in an early defeat.
*A balance between AOE towers and single target towers can prevent Breakers from overwhelming you.
*[[Slime (Attribute)|Slime]] [[Glitch]]es can turn into hordes of enemies that can easily overwhelm your defenses.
**Stalling towers like the [[Electroshocker]] or [[Cryomancer]] are useful, as they grant you more time to kill these enemies.
