Blue Suns Legionnaire

Blue Suns Legionnaire's are highly skilled infantry hired and deployed by the mercenary organization the Blue Suns. Legionnaires are high level troops and are much more dangerous than standard troopers. They are equipped with tech armour, shields and are armed with M-15 Vindicator assault rifles. They are capable of inflicting a lot of damage on a player and are capable of stripping any defense away barriers, shields and armour will be destroyed very quickly. Legionnaires are also highly accurate troops rarely missing a burst. Their equipped with shields on any difficulty and can also regenerate the shields if given enough time. Legionnaires are always accompanied by troopers and other Blue Suns troop types. If a Centurion and/or Commander are encountered they are usually accompanied by a contingent of legionnaires augmenting their threat.

Legionnaires biggest weakness is their weapons burst fire requirement, while they can cause a lot of damage they cannot keep a squad pinned down as effectively as heavy’s or troopers. This will allow a player to co-ordinate a squad’s firepower and power usage on them more effectively, as well as leaving them defenseless while they wait for the slight delay in their weapons fire rate. A player equipped with weapons that keep up a constant stream of fire will easily suppress and damage legionnaires. On harder difficulty levels they can cause very high levels of damage making suppressing them an unrealistic option if they are backed up troopers in this scenario picking off the weaker opponents while utilizing powers on the legionnaires is an effective strategy. In very close quarters they are capable of causing higher amounts of damage which if they still have their shielding can be very problematic once again directing powers against them while also keeping fire on them is an efficient solution.

Trivia

 * Legionnaires were roman heavy infantry considering that centurion is also a roman rank, it is likely of roman inspired. The turian military is based on the romans so it could also be due to their races influence
