Hero combat. Army-scale decisions.
Win the fight.
Read the whole battlefield.
Legion Arena combines the direct champion play of a MOBA with the unit commands of a real-time strategy game.
Bring more than a hero.
Command your own troops. Choose a pure melee, ranged or magic production path, upgrade it, and decide where the next wave should fight.
Three commanders. Four fronts.
Coordinate your pressure with two teammates. Defending home and finding the right enemy to attack matter just as much as winning the next skirmish.
A reason to fight
Hold your stronghold.
Break theirs.
Your stronghold is the heart of your army. Protect it while you invest in your champion and your troops. Send the legion forward, hold a defensive line, or redirect it when another team threatens home.
The match is decided by surviving strongholds. There is no fixed match timer deciding the winner.

Your questions, answered
Before you enter the arena
A few things to know before you step in.
Is Legion Arena an RTS or a MOBA?
It is a competitive army arena that combines both: you directly control a champion with abilities while commanding your own growing legion. The focus is team battles and stronghold survival, with four teams of three.
Can I play Legion Arena in a browser?
Legion Arena is a Windows game in Alpha. The Windows installer is available to download without an access code. The installer and game run on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
Can I download or join Legion Arena now?
Legion Arena is in Alpha. Download the Windows installer without an access code from the download page. Install the launcher and start it to download the game. Online play requires an Ellaris account.
Will every match have twelve human players?
The four-team format has twelve seats. During the alpha, open seats can be filled by bots. A full set of human opponents is not guaranteed.
Can I choose any champion with any legion?
Your champion and your army path are separate choices. Pick one of eight champions, then choose Heavy, Ranged, Magic or Light production at your stronghold. Switching a path restarts it at tier I.
How long is a match?
A match ends when only one team has surviving strongholds. There is no fixed duration or time-limit victory. The pace is still being tuned during the alpha.
Your champion. Your legion.
