Demon Legion

Demon Legions are armored demon soldiers with the ability to duplicate themselves.
==Overview==
Evil spawn from the abyss...Their name is Legion, for they can become many...
As befitting their namesake, Demon Legions possess the ability to create doppelgänger of themselves, which do not give any gold when defeated. Even though the spawn rate is fairly slow (compared to other mook makers like Spider Matriarchs and Saurian Savants), at 666 health and high physical armor, one single Demon Legion is already fairly durable by itself, so they can provide an enormous threat to the player's defenses, especially at the beginning when the towers and hero are not very strong yet.
Unlike Necromancers, Sand Wraiths, Saurian Savants etc., Demon Legions continue creating copies even when engaged with the player's troops and/or hero in melee. This makes it very difficult to stem the flow of enemies that can spawn from a single Demon Legion.
Unlike other demons, Demon Legions have no magic resistance, instead, they have high physical armor, forcing the player to use Magic Towers, which is otherwise more or less ineffective due to the abundance of magic-resistant demons in Pit of Fire and Pandaemonium.
Their clones will have the same health at the time of duplication. The original Legion produces 2 clones at most, and these 2 clones can make only a single copy of their own. Thus, they can increase up to 5 folds in number.
Demon Legions' basic attack deals True Damage.
==Strategy==
* Demon Legions should be killed as quickly as possible. Rain of Fire is recommended, especially during the earlier waves.
*Doing damage to the first legion BEFORE it duplicates is especially efficient. If the legion ends up fully duplicating (which is not uncommon), all the damage done to the first legion before it duplicates is effectively quintupled.
* Any Mage Tower in the front is helpful for damaging them before they can make duplicates, though not as useful in the back of the map since the larger hordes of Legions will overwhelm them.
* Teslas in the back with Overcharge can deal with them quite nicely, though some additional support of any kind is still necessary to wipe out really large groups.
* Heroes with physical damage are almost useless against the huge armor of the Legions. They will gain hardly any experience from them. In addition, because Demon Legion deals true damage, higher health is better than heavier armor.
* Their infernal combustion does 50-100 physical area damage.

== Trivia ==
* The description of the Demon Legion could be based on a passage from the Gospel of Mark 5: 9: "My name is Legion: for we are many."
* The Demon Legion's HP in Normal difficulty is 666, the number of the beast associated with the Devil.
*In an earlier Steam version, Demon Legion and its duplications were able to infinitely duplicate and have a much slower attack rate (2.0s). Their duplications also had 20% more or less or the same HP as the one that created the said duplications, depending on the chosen difficulty.
