• Can inflict Bleeding and Deep Wound on fleshy foes.
• Has a self-healing skill.
• Has adrenaline management.
• Has an IAS skill.

Cons

• Lacks a defensive skill.

Notes

• Unlike other summoning stone allies, the Legionnaire is always level 20.
• He has 600 health.
• He deals physical damage and wields a different weapon set depending on the currently active event.
  • By default, he wields a Fiery Dragon Sword, and a Charr Shield.
  • During the Canthan New Year, he wields a Tengu Sword and Tengu Shield.
  • During April Fools' Day, he wields a Icy Dragon Sword and Charr Shield.
  • During the Dragon Festival, he wields an Imperial Sword and Imperial Shield.
  • During Pirate Week, he wields a Colossal Scimitar and Charr Shield.
  • During the Halloween event, he wields a Vampiric Dragon Sword and Skull Shield.
  • During Wintersday, he wields a Candy Cane Sword and Gingerbread Shield.
• There is an everlasting tonic and miniature of him.
• Arcane Mimicry will copy Hundred Blades when used on the Legionnaire, suggesting that it is to the left of "Coward!" on his skill bar.

Anomaly.The different weapons are purely cosmetic, as inherent modifiers of some weapons are not active^{[verification requested]}: He does not deal fire damage while wielding a Fiery Dragon Sword, cold damage while wielding an Icy Dragon Sword, and there is no life draining nor health degeneration effect while he wields a Vampiric Dragon Sword.

Trivia

• He is the only summoning stone ally that has more than one elite skill.
• He has the same appearance as Rytlock Brimstone from Guild Wars 2.
• His "Shake it off!" and "On my mark!" battle quotes reference Guild Wars 2 warrior shouts by those same names.
• His "This move always impresses my warband!" quote references a similar quote by Koss, "This move always impresses Melonni"
• His use of both warrior skills that reference big cats (Tiger Stance and Lion's Comfort) is likely a reference to the fact that he himself is a big cat.
• His "Blood for the Blood Legion" battle quote might be a reference to Warhammer 40k's World Eaters battle cry: "Blood for the Blood God!"
• Introduced in Wayfarer's Reverie 2013.
