Description

Legion Kata is a martial arts-based fighting style obtained by turning in a recommendation from talking to a Legion Captain with high positive reputation with the Hundred Legions in Starswept Valley, to Amara. While sharing the same stats as Way of Navae, Imperium Kata, and Fang and Coil, they differ in M1 animations, stances, and critical attacks.

While Legion Kata has the same damage as Way of Navae and Fang and Coil, the critical possesses more potential to mix-up the opponent, useful for fighting players rather than NPCs. The suplex comes out quickly and can easily confuse an opponent you are fighting against.

If you have Legion Kata and other Fist Styles (except for Jus Karita) obtained, you can switch and cycle between them quickly by pressing Y. This has a 7 second cooldown.

Critical

User performs a suplex, turning their opponent upside down and firmly slamming them into the ground. Applies Dazed on hit.

This critical has the M1 tag, allowing it to proc M1-exclusive Talents and Enchantment effects.

Obtainment

To obtain it, you must gain Friend reputation with The Hundred Legions, the most accessible way to do this is to do tasks on job boards at Starswept Valley.

Alternatively, you can do the legion scout quest. This way you will gain enough reputation.

Afterwards you will need to talk to a Legion Captain in the Starswept Valley to obtain the Captain's Rec item, the Legion Captain spawn is somewhat uncommon.

DO NOT CLICK ON THE ITEM WHILE HOLDING IT. YOU WILL CONSUME IT AND HAVE TO RE-OBTAIN IT.

Afterwards, once you obtain the recommendation, you must go to The Viper's Jaw in Erisia and turn it in to Amara. This will grant you the Legion Kata Talent which enables you to use the fist style and unlock it for consecutive uses on the Character Creation screen.

Trivia

• Duke Erisia uses this fist style in his boss fight.
• The Legion Kata critical attack is a grab, yet it doesn't bypass block. Guardbreaking someone will only daze them, and you won't actually grab them.
• It takes roughly two authority grips at the Starswept Valley to obtain the recommendation, assuming you have not previously lost rep with the Legion and that you are not a Khan.
• With the job update you can get the required reputation for Legion Kata much faster.
