LegionBound Warrior Group: All 14 Classes & Synergies

This LegionBound Warrior group guide covers the largest synergy loop in the game: 14 of the 30 classes, organized in a circular chain that upgrades each class into a stronger subclass. The Warrior group is also the most beginner-friendly loop, since three of the five starters live in it. This guide lists all 14 classes, explains how the circular synergy actually fires, names the key subclasses, and identifies the two subchains worth building first.

TL;DR: The Warrior group is LegionBound's largest synergy loop, 14 of the 30 classes: Warrior, Sorcerer, Witch, Cleric, Paladin, Priest, Knight, Smith, Guardian, Shield Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, and Lumberjack. Synergy is circular: each class learns from the next class in the loop, and fielding an adjacent pair upgrades the earlier class into its subclass (Warrior to Spellblade needs Sorcerer, Sorcerer to Warlock needs Witch, Wizard to Magus needs Druid, Cleric to Mender needs Paladin, and ten more). The two strongest subchains are Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch (damage) and Knight-Smith-Guardian (sustain). Three of the five starters are in this group, so it is the easiest loop to start. You do not need all 14, any adjacent pair works.

LegionBound Warrior group: the largest loop

LegionBound organizes its 30 classes into three circular synergy loops, and the Warrior group is the largest with 14 classes. It is also the one most players build first, because three of the five starter classes, Warrior, Wizard, and Cleric, belong to it. You almost always open a run with a foot already in this loop.

The 14 classes are: Warrior, Sorcerer, Witch, Cleric, Paladin, Priest, Knight, Smith, Guardian, Shield Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, and Lumberjack. That breadth is the group's strength and its trap. The strength is options: you can build damage, sustain, or a mix. The trap is spreading thin, trying to run all 14 instead of committing to a focused subchain. This guide is about building the loop deliberately rather than collecting it.

Key takeaways

• The Warrior group is the largest synergy loop: 14 of the 30 classes.
• The 14: Warrior, Sorcerer, Witch, Cleric, Paladin, Priest, Knight, Smith, Guardian, Shield Mage, Battlemage, Wizard, Druid, Lumberjack.
• Synergy is circular: each class learns from the next class in the loop.
• Fielding an adjacent pair upgrades the earlier class into its subclass.
• Subclasses: Warrior to Spellblade, Sorcerer to Warlock, Wizard to Magus, Cleric to Mender, and more.
• Strongest subchains: Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch (damage), Knight-Smith-Guardian (sustain).
• Three of five starters are in this group, so it is the easiest loop to begin.

How the circular synergy fires

The loop is the whole mechanic, so understand it before you build. Each class has one synergy partner: the next class listed in the loop. Field both classes together, meet the activation condition, and the earlier class upgrades into its synergy subclass.

The chain runs in one direction around the circle. The Warrior learns from the Sorcerer, the Sorcerer learns from the Witch, and so on around the loop until the Lumberjack learns from the Warrior, closing the circle. So a class is powered up by having the next class in the loop on the field, not the previous one.

The crucial practical point: you do not need all 14 to benefit. Any adjacent pair triggers the earlier class's subclass. That means a two-class investment, a class and the next one in the loop, already pays off, and a three-class subchain gives you two upgraded slots (the third class in the chain needs a fourth class of its own to activate). Build pairs first, expand into chains, and never feel obligated to complete the full loop.

The subclasses: what synergy unlocks

A synergy subclass is not a separate unit you recruit; it is the evolved state of the class itself, same hero slot, different ability set. A Warrior without synergy plays differently from one who has triggered Spellblade.

The named Warrior-group subclasses include Warrior to Spellblade, Sorcerer to Warlock, Wizard to Magus, and Cleric to Mender, with ten more across the rest of the loop. Each fires only while its synergy partner, the next class in the loop, is on the field, and switches off if that partner leaves. So the subclass is a conditional state you maintain by keeping the pair together, not a permanent upgrade you unlock once.

This changes how you think about your formation. Removing one class can downgrade another out of its subclass, so the loop rewards stable, intentional comps over constant swapping. Plan which subclasses you want active and keep their partners fielded.

Synergy subclasses are conditional: a class stays upgraded only while the next class in the loop is on the field. Build stable pairs and chains rather than swapping units in and out.

The two subchains to build first

With 14 classes, the question is where to focus, and the answer is two subchains. The Warrior group's two most powerful subchains are Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch for damage and Knight-Smith-Guardian for front-line sustain.

The Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch chain is your offensive core. Fielding all three activates Spellblade on the Warrior (Sorcerer present) and Warlock on the Sorcerer (Witch present); Witch itself stays base until you add Cleric. Two upgraded slots from three recruits is still the chain to prioritize if you want to win through damage output.

The Knight-Smith-Guardian chain is your defensive core. Fielding all three activates Stalwart on the Knight (Smith present) and Armorer on the Smith (Guardian present), building a durable front line that absorbs hits and keeps your formation alive long enough for the damage chain to work. In an auto-battler, a front line that does not collapse is what lets your backline do its job.

The strongest Warrior-group builds combine a damage subchain with a sustain subchain rather than going all-in on one. A formation with Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch behind a Knight-Smith-Guardian wall covers both halves of a fight, and because each trio's first two members only need adjacency to trigger, you reach this state without collecting all 14 classes.

Pair a damage subchain with a sustain subchain: Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch behind a Knight-Smith-Guardian front line covers both halves of a fight without needing all 14 classes.

A build path for the Warrior group

Here is a practical order to build the group across a run. Start with whichever Warrior-group starter you opened with, Warrior, Wizard, or Cleric, since you likely have one already. That is your entry point into the loop.

From there, add the next class in the loop after your starter to trigger its subclass. One adjacent pair is your first real synergy, and it costs only two slots. Once a pair is stable, extend toward one of the two key subchains: push toward Warrior-Sorcerer-Witch if you want damage, or toward Knight-Smith-Guardian if your front line is collapsing.

Only once a subchain is running well should you consider a second one. The mistake to avoid is recruiting Warrior-group classes that are not adjacent to anything you field, because an isolated class gets no synergy and is just a vanilla unit taking a slot. Every recruit should either complete a pair, extend a subchain, or start a deliberate second chain. Build the loop as a set of connected pieces, not a collection.

Why the Warrior group is the best starting loop

If you are deciding which synergy loop to commit a run to, the Warrior group is usually the right first pick, and the reasons go beyond its size.

The biggest one is access. Three of the five starter classes, Warrior, Wizard, and Cleric, live in this loop, while the Barkeep group only claims two starters (Ranger and Rogue) and the Tax Collector group claims none. That means you reliably begin a run already holding a Warrior-group class, so your first synergy is a matter of recruiting one adjacent partner rather than rolling the shop for two specific units. The loop is built into your opening hand.

The second reason is flexibility. With 14 classes spanning damage, sustain, and hybrid roles, the Warrior group can adapt to whatever your run hands you. If the shop offers you Knights and Smiths, you build the sustain front line; if it offers Sorcerers and Witches, you build the damage core. You are not locked into a single playstyle the way a smaller loop forces you to be.

The tradeoff is that breadth invites overreach. The same 14 classes that give you options also tempt you into recruiting units that do not connect to anything you field. Discipline beats ambition here: a tight three-class subchain outperforms a scattered seven-class collection every time, because synergy rewards adjacency, not headcount. Treat the Warrior group as a menu you order from deliberately, not a checklist to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
