Defensive Legends excel at holding ground, fortifying positions, and protecting their squad. Their abilities often involve creating cover, denying areas, or slowing down enemy pushes. A strong defensive Legend can turn a vulnerable position into an impenetrable fortress, buying time for healing or strategic repositioning. They are crucial for controlling choke points and securing late-game circles.
