Their most noticeable trait is that they do not travel anywhere at all in traditional sense but teleport to destinations instantaneously.
A structure erased by a Legionnaire never leaves a ruin behind, meaning that Legionnaires can be used to clear space for player buildings to be placed on. Legionnaires cannot "wear down" targets, they can only destroy them outright or delay them. If the Legionnaire fails to completely erase a target due to different orders or death, it will gradually phase back as if nothing had happened. Alternatively, the fact that the targeted unit or building is invulnerable can be used to their advantage by protecting their allies, but with caution not to fire at them for too long. The duration of the attack is proportional to the health points of the target. Since Legionnaires can only target one unit at a time, they are very much vulnerable to groups of even the weakest unit with anti-infantry capability. This has the benefit of allowing a well-managed Legionnaire to defeat all land units in single combat as the other unit is as good as erased as soon as they are hit. When attacked by a Legionnaire, the unit is frozen and invulnerable. The Legionnaire's weapon is that it does not damage the unit, but erases it from the time stream instead. Instead, FutureTech developed the Cryo Legionnaire. They are also not present in the Third World War's third iteration, as without Einstein, the Allies were unable to miniaturize or perfect their Chronosphere to allow it to be used for a single infantry unit. They are not known to operate after the events of the Psychic Dominator Disaster. The longer the distance, the longer it took for him to fully re-enter the time stream. Although a Legionnaire was instantly thrown into the time stream, reappearing in the desired location, it took time for the Legionnaire to reform completely. Chrono Legionnaires could chronoshift across entire cities and "erase" buildings and units.ĭue to the need to make the chronoshift device compact enough to be man-portable, the generators in the suit were not powerful enough for instant timeshifting. While being erased, targeted units were not present in any time stream, and were therefore invulnerable to all weapons.
The Chrono Legionnaire could erase enemies from history using his special weapon, freezing them in time as he methodically erased every trace of the unit from the time continuum.
