Legion raids in their current state have become extremely difficult to manage. The encounters are nearly impossible to win, theoretically, they need higher tiers, but H7 makes playing a T4+ character feel unviable.

Previously, one of the workable strategies was to kite Legion Lieutenants into direct engagement while maintaining tanking support, combined with attack defense and biokinesis. Without biokinesis, this approach was already challenging; now it has become almost unmanageable.

The overwhelming number of enemies is one of the biggest issues. When ten Legion soldiers focus fire on a single player, even strong characters are taken down very quickly. They tend to target higher-tier characters first, meaning those without biokinesis are quickly removed from the raid. In addition, the difficulty of tracking 20–30 mobs moving across the screen at once creates significant confusion and makes coordination impossible.

While the arrival of Society reinforcements is appreciated, their impact is limited. With ten Legion soldiers able to bring them down in moments, reinforcements scarsely shift the balance before being eliminated.

Lieutenant abilities also contribute to the problem. When their major specials are used every two rounds, the raid becomes nearly unplayable. Being blinded for 60 seconds (effectively two rounds) or stunned leaves players completely unable to act, which usually results in being quickly eliminated by surrounding Legion forces. Illusion effects can sometimes be mitigated, but blind and stun effects remove all agency.

Another concern is the pauses in raids. While they seem intended to give players time for emotes and time to assess, in practice very few players use them this way, and even fewer in Legion raids when there is too many on the field. The pauses often feel unnecessarily long, delaying progress and leaving groups less able to thin enemy numbers before the next wave arrives. This typically results in the raid being overwhelmed.

Raids should of course remain challenging, but the current balance means that even groups composed of highly combat-focused players are often overwhelmed regardless of strategy. Possible adjustments could include capping the number of NPCs that can be active at once and reducing the length or frequency of pauses. These changes would preserve difficulty while making the encounters more manageable and engaging.
