The Legion System
- Grow your characters and earn buffs when you join the brand-new Legion System!
- Open to characters Lv. 60 and above (Lv. 130 and above for Zero characters) who have completed their 2nd job advancement.
- Eligible characters can become Legion Members and are given specific places on the Synergy Grid. The Synergy Grid has 16 areas, each with its unique stats. If you place a character in that area, you’ll unlock the stat bonus!
- Each character appears as a specially-shaped block on the Synergy Grid. Depending on their rank, some characters may take up a larger space on the Synergy Grid than others. The more area you control, the more likely you’ll have access to special grid stat bonuses.
- Use the Synergy Grid like a puzzle to fit your characters (by rotating and flipping their blocks) in just the right way to maximize the stat bonuses you want.
- As you upgrade your Legion ranking, you can unlock more of the Synergy Grid, and reap even more effects! You can upgrade your Legion ranking by achieving a certain level in Legion, and then paying a fee of Legion Coins.
- You can earn Legion Coins by joining the Legion Raid, a cooperative battle pitting your Legion Member characters against a fierce dragon and its spawn. Once the battle begins, your Legion Members will start attacking automatically. As you do damage, you’ll earn the Legion Coins needed for advancing your Legion ranking.
- You can also use Legion Coins to purchase buffs, scrolls, growth potions, and more from the Legion Coin Shop.
- Depending on how many Legion Coins you earn per week, you may find yourself a spot on the weekly Legion Coin Collector ranking! If you rank within the top 100 characters, you can earn rewards such as the Legion Rank Mount and Legion of Extraordinary Maplers Chair.
