Legion Assaults Complete Guide

Master Invasion Events - Maximize Bronze, Mementos & Rewards

Legion Assaults are large-scale world invasion events in Legion Remix where the Burning Legion periodically launches massive attacks on specific Broken Isles zones. These assault events rotate every 18-24 hours, with 1-2 zones simultaneously under invasion, providing players with lucrative reward opportunities. Participating in assaults yields substantial Bronze (300-500 per completion), Infinite Power (5,000-8,000 points), and for level 80 characters, an additional 50-80 Fragmented Mementos, making this essential high-value daily content.

The completion process is simple and efficient: travel to the invaded zone, complete the progress bar quest (kill demons, destroy structures, complete special objectives) to 100%, then defeat the assault boss to claim rewards. The entire process typically requires only 15-25 minutes, or even faster with a public raid group (10-15 minutes). Assault events deeply integrate with the World Quest system—during assaults, the affected zone spawns additional world quests, allowing simultaneous completion for double rewards.

For efficiency-focused players, mastering assault refresh schedules, optimal completion routes, and boss mechanics is critical. This guide comprehensively explains the 6 assault zones’ characteristics, reward systems, boss tactics, integration strategies with other systems, and how to maximize assault profits in Legion Remix’s accelerated pace. Whether playing solo or in groups, assault events represent golden opportunities for rapid resource accumulation and character progression.

Yes. During special periods (like weekends), 2 zones may be simultaneously under assault, and you can complete both for double rewards.
