Idle Legions

Idle Legions is an idle game where your legion fights through waves automatically. You choose a formation of up to four heroes from a roster of eight, equip and level them, select pets and decide when to challenge the next boss. The legion continues making progress while the game is closed; offline progress is calculated on the server.

Heroes and bosses

The game has six acts, each with a boss that fights differently. Each boss requires that act’s key: the stage before the boss always gives you the first key, and you find the rest as you play. A key is consumed only if you win, and keys are not sold for real money; players can trade them for gold at the auction house.

Boss mechanics include:

• The Ancient Ent and Magma Lord have break bars; breaking one stuns the boss and makes it take double damage.
• The Ent and Void Reaper deal more damage when they reach half health.
• The Swamp Hydra regenerates unless it is burning.
• The Archnecromancer begins the fight with a bone shield.
• The Magma Lord switches between heat and cold.

Progress and equipment

You can play the six acts on five difficulties: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, Hell and Madness. Enemies become tougher at higher difficulties. Gear comes in seven rarities, from common to mythic, and includes rerollable affixes, elemental runes and forge stones.

The Abyss is a dungeon that builds itself. In its level 100 version, the final boss can drop mythic gear, the top rarity, which has five affixes. The Forge of the Well can also craft mythics from Mythic Cores, which drop in the Abyss. Outside the Abyss, fusing ten unique items in the forge has a one-in-200 chance of producing a mythic.

Pets and competition

There are 40 pets, each with its own bonus, and each can be raised through 20 levels. In asynchronous PvP, your formation fights another player’s formation. The server resolves the battle, which you can watch as a replay; competition is organized into leagues and seasons.

A world boss has health set against the combined attacks of the whole server rather than your team alone. Rankings track players and guilds.

City and guilds

The city includes your own avatar, an isometric plaza and an auction house.
