Welcome to the ultimate Legionary guide for Corepunk. Whether you’re a solo adventurer or the stalwart tank in a group, this guide covers the essentials of mastering the Legionary class in Early Access. From abilities to talents, weapon builds, implants, and gameplay tips, here’s everything you need to become an unbreakable force.


Why Play the Legionary?

The Legionary is a tank-class powerhouse brimming with crowd control and survivability. With abilities like Shield Bash and Catapult, you dominate the battlefield and manipulate enemies or allies for strategic advantage. Legionary excels in both PvE and PvP with versatile builds and impressive sustain.


Legionary Abilities Overview

  • Shield Bash: Strikes enemies in a wedge-shaped AoE, knocking them back and applying the “Vulnerable” debuff. Interrupts spellcasting and generates threat.
  • Catapult: Tosses the nearest ally or enemy to a target area. If the target is vulnerable, it stuns enemies in the radius. High threat generator.
  • Spear Throw: A charged, ranged skill shot that deals damage and taunts vulnerable enemies. Ideal for maintaining aggro or kiting.
  • Unstoppable (Ultimate): Removes CC, grants movement speed, damage reduction, and heals for 10% missing HP per kill. Essential for both offense and defense.

Weapon Mastery Suggestions

Start by investing in:

  • Shield Bash: Apply slow for easier combos.
  • Catapult: Second upgrade enhances threat and CC.
  • Spear Line: Improves offense.
  • Iron Skin (Passive): Boosts defense.

Mastery bonuses scale with points invested and enhance performance over time.
