Maplestory Legion System

The Legion System is a very useful game mechanic in Maplestory. If you’re confused as to what this is, it is also known as the Maple Union system in the game. With the help of this, you can get various stat boosts and bonuses for all your characters. This allows you to level up all your characters in the game. So, scroll down and find out how the Maple Union system works.

How does the Legion System work in Maplestory?

The Legion System is an unlockable feature in the game. With this feature equipped, you will be able to create a Legion of characters. You also can introduce several character buffs to all your classes in the game.

You will be able to get Stat Boosts from both the characters you put in your Legion as well as the squares that you cover in the Legion Synergy Grid. These boosts are known as Member Bonuses and Grid Bonuses respectively. The total boost that you get on your character is known as the Legion Bonus.

If you use a High Ranking character, you will be able to boost them up, even more, using the Legion System in Maplestory. Due to this your character will cover up even more squares in the grid. This in turn also boosts all the characters in the grid around you as it increases the overall bonus for the grid. All this works out very well for players as it can net you a significant increase in attack stats and EXP.

Every character you assign to the Legion System in Maplestory becomes an attacker and you can have 5 of them at one time. You can also unlock more presets with the Legion Preset Coupon after 30 days.

How to unlock Legion?

You will need to have a minimum of 500 Legion-eligible character levels. A Legion-eligible character needs to have reached at least level 60. If it is a Zero class character, you need to level it up to 130 at the very least. This is easy as Zero Class characters are available directly as Level 100 legends.

Now, if you have a total of 500 Character Levels, you will have to go and speak to Dame Appropriation. Dame Appropriation is easily available in any major town in the game. You will now get 2 quests known as ‘Legion Introduction’ and ‘We Are Legion’ respectively. Once you complete both these quests you will be able to access and use the Legion System.

You can access the Legion System by clicking on the three lines at the bottom of the screen. This will give you access to the menu. Now, at the bottom, you will find the ‘Manage Legion’ option.

How to use Legion System Synergy Grid in Maplestory

When you open the Legion window, you will be able to see a grid. This is the Legion Synergy Grid.

You can access the Legion System by clicking on the three lines at the bottom of the screen. This will give you access to the menu. Now, at the bottom, you will find the ‘Manage Legion’ option.

• Click on Assign Characters.
• After this select a character from the gallery.
• Now, place these characters in any grid piece of your choice.

Every square in the grid will give you one of 16 stats boosts. So, for every character you add to the Legion System, you get a stat boost equal to the number of squares covered by that particular character. You can place characters in the Inner Grid when you unlock the Legion Square. With the Grid, you move outwards, beginning from the inner grid.

So, as you start moving outwards, you unlock more Legion Ranks. Therefore, the more squares you cover, the more powerful your team.
