}}Ancient Legionary is a backline enemy from the [[Ancient Dead]] faction.

== Equipment ==

** Chances start as 40/60, and each day changes them by +1/-1, until they are 90/10.
* An [[Ancient Scale Harness]] (125), [[Ancient Double Layer Mail]] (120) or [[Ancient Mail]] (100).
* An [[Ancient Legionary Helmet]] (130).

== Behavior ==
If engaged in melee, they can [[Rotation (Skill)|Rotate]] to backline if possible. However, if your squad's formation is wide, they often come into frontline.

== Tips ==

* Priority targets because of their threat.
* Reach weapons and [[Split (30 fatigue)|Split]] skill can take them out early.
* Use wide formation to provoke them to walk into exposure.
* Armor piercing weapons kill them through their medium armor, just make sure they do blunt or slashing damage and not actual piercing.
* Their weaponry doesn't work well against heavy [[armor]], but will cause early [[morale]] checks on [[Nimble]] brothers because of [[Fearsome]].
* [[Bundle of Throwing Axes|Throwing Axes]] are required for your ranged brothers to be effective.
* [[Heavy Rusty Axe]] kills them in one hit with a [[Traits|trait]] like [[Huge]]. [[Two-Handed Flanged Mace]] does it with [[Killing Frenzy]]. [[Named and Legendary Items|Named]] two-handed weapons can be even better.
