Legion league

"In the heat of battle, a single moment may feel an eternity. And in a blink of an eye, an eternity passes... And the battle is won... Or lost. Trapped for thousands of years in the Domain of Timeless Conflict, the mightiest military leaders of Wraeclast's history have been fighting an eternal war."

- Description on the official Path of Exile website

The Legion league and Hardcore Legion league were challenge leagues. They ran from June 7, 2019 to September 2, 2019.

In this league, players can find a Monolith in each zone. When approached, it will reveal a battle between Legions, frozen in time. Damaging the enemies while they are in stasis will free them when time resumes, where they can be fought and killed for loot. Legion enemies can drop splinters that form an Emblem of their Legion. Combining multiple of these Emblems in a Map Device opens a portal to the Domain of Timeless Conflict, where the heart of the conflict takes place. Items that can be found in this league include incubators that turn into valuable items after getting a certain amount of kills while bound to an equipment, a 5-slot Map Device, and Timeless Jewels that greatly alter passive skills around it - even Keystone passives.

All characters and stashes were moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues ended. Characters that died in the Hardcore Legion league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.

League mechanic
Each area contains a Timeless Monolith. Interacting with the Monolith will reveal a battle between Legions, with the enemies in stasis. The player must deal enough damage to them before the timer runs out to break them out of stasis. Once the timer runs out, all the enemies you freed will become unfrozen and start attacking, where they can be killed. Enemies can have symbols above them, which indicate what type of loot they can drop. There are also chests and war hordes that contain loot, which must also be broken out of stasis.

Legion encounters can drop Timeless Splinters for the enemy's faction. 100 of these can be combined into an Emblem, which are used to open a portal to the Domain of Timeless Conflict. The type and number of emblems used to open the Domain will determine which enemies will appear.
