Legiones/Strategies

Setup
High level ranged armour is advised when fighting Legio Primus because that will effectively cancel out his regular magic attack. Royal dragonhide and higher will suffice for this.

Ranging this boss is a very good idea. Using the Royal Crossbow, Dual-wield Chaotic Crossbows, dual-wield Ascension crossbows, crystal bow or zaryte bow will mae the kills a lot easier.

High levelled food is more important than prayer, so that you can make up for a missclick resulting in you taking heavy damage.

Normal Attacks
As a normal attack Legio Primus uses magic, so to avoid the damage Protect from Magic, or Deflect Magic must be on. A pretty good alternative would be using soul split, as his magic attack is not very accurate, but can in fact hit high.

Special Attacks
As special attack, Legio Primus, just like all the Legiones, shoots orbs of light which scatter on the ground and make a 3x3 area in which you will be hit for 1000-2000 about 5 times consecutively. To avoid this attack you must run from the spot where the orb is about to strike and if done properly, all damage can be avoided.

A common tactic is a varation to the well-known "hit and run" tactics:

1. Target Legio Primus (or tag him)

2. Once you see him throw orbs at you, run along the walls.

3. As soon as you are definitely out of the orbs' reach, use an ability. If you time your abilities* properly, you should be able to get 3-4 hits before the next wave of orbs.

4. Repeat untill Legio Primus is defeated


 * note: It is NOT advised to use combo-abilities as they will ground you for a while and the orb-attack WILL hit you for a large amount of damage.
