Revision 1

The Exalted is the Legion of Truth raider, a Tier 1 unit produced at the Beastiary for 75 hexite. It moves at 650, jumps down cliffs, and hits both ground and air for 24 damage at range 5 with +50% against Medium armour. It is one of only four units the studio put on its own faction page as a sample of the roster, alongside the Terror Tank, the Dreadnought and the Storm Bringer.

Figures below describe the September 2026 Early Access build, the one carrying the identifier ZS.c36778, and they move with the weekly patch cadence. Roughly half the versus roster had a stat touched in the fortnight before that build was captured, so treat every number here as dated rather than permanent.

Stat Block

The energy figure needs a caveat. The record lists an energy pool of 10 and publishes no ability that spends energy, so what the pool is for is not stated. That is a gap in the source and not a value this page will guess at.

Weapons

Abilities

Cliff jumping is described in the unit text rather than as a listed ability, so it has no cooldown or cost attached to it in the record. There are no other abilities and no passives.

Upgrades

Attack Rage is not defined anywhere in the entity record. It appears on this upgrade and nowhere else in the Legion roster, and the value +4 has no published unit attached to it. Named here rather than dropped, because the upgrade is real and the definition is what is missing.

Conversion Costs

Reanimate is the Legion conversion mechanic, paid out of the same top bar power pool as the Grell Infuse and the Xol Replicate. While the unit lives it attacks and moves 30% faster. When it dies it gets back up, 30% slower than the original, and keeps fighting.

The Exalted is eligible for all three conversions at an identical 3.75 power each. A reanimated Exalted keeps the cliff jump and the anti air role, which makes it a better Reanimate target than its cost suggests: a unit that can leave a fight over terrain is one that gets to use its second life.

Role

At 650 move speed with cliff jumping, the Exalted is the Legion answer to map control. It reaches a harvester line the direct way and leaves the same way. The +50% bonus against Medium is what makes that threat real, because every harvester and extractor in the game has carried Medium armour since the August 11, 2026 pass folded the old harvester armour type into it. Twenty four damage becomes 36 against a Labourer, a Prospector or a Xol Harvester.

In an army fight the unit is a dual purpose body. It shoots air on its base weapon, which puts it in a small group across the whole game, and Hallowed Strike raises that to +200%, turning 24 damage into 72 a swing against a flier. On a 1.9 second cooldown that is bursty rather than sustained, but it is the cheapest anti air the faction fields.

Two hundred health with an armour value of 0 is the limit. The Exalted trades well when it picks its fights and badly when it is caught.

Faction Context

The Exalted comes out of the Beastiary, the Legion beast production structure, which it shares with the Mammoth. It does not carry the data tag that marks Legion thrall bodies, so unlike the Thrall, the Steelsworn and the Dark Disciple it cannot be fed to a Ritual Site.

On August 19, 2026 the Exalted was one of twenty two units and structures moved onto the newer animation system already used by Commandos and Stingers, alongside the Dark Disciple and the Storm Bringer. The studio reported large performance gains when many of them are on screen at once, with no stat effect.

Tier and Armour Interactions

Medium armour with an armour value of 0 means the Exalted takes full damage from everything and is a legal target for every bonus against Medium in the game, including the Grell Skrell at +100% and the Exalted own +50%. Armor is also a number held separately from the type. It subtracts flat damage from every hit with a floor of 1 damage, so it blunts fast weak attacks far more than single heavy ones. With no armour value at all, none of that applies here.

Notes

The roster record for this unit is COMPLETE.

The beast tag added on August 28, 2026 is named in the studio patch post but does not appear in the tag list the entity record publishes for this build. The studio note is the authority; the catalogue has not caught up.

Older material calls this unit the Rhino Rider. That name came from the engine identifier the record still carries, and it is the same unit rather than a second one.

Per unit numbers are drawn from a community maintained entity catalogue that the studio links from each of its own faction pages. It is the only place the full stat block is published, and it is not a studio document, so the figures are best read as careful community documentation of a build rather than as an official specification. Dated balance notes, by contrast, come straight from the studio patch posts.
