Sacrificial Site
September 11, 2026 at 10:25 PM
Initial version (2026-09-11)
The Sacrificial Site is what the Legion of Truth hero Galavax leaves behind when he spends one of his own troops. His Sacrificial Spear ability, cast on a friendly Thrall, kills that Thrall and creates a site that heals nearby biological units for 15 seconds. The site itself carries 150 health, an armour value of 2, Building armour and a move speed of 0.
It appears in the unit roster rather than the building list, which is the first thing to say plainly about it. The record files it as a unit, and it behaves like a structure. Both of those are true at once and neither is an error on this page.
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.

Ability | Type | Cooldown | Effect |

Heal | Automatic | 1 second | Restores 15 health a second to nearby units. |
Galavax own ability description puts the duration at 15 seconds and restricts the healing to biological units. The site record itself publishes neither a lifetime nor a target restriction, so those two details come from the hero entry rather than from this unit entry. At 15 health a second over 15 seconds a site that runs its full duration restores 225 health to each unit it covers.
The site has no upgrades of its own. Galavax carries one that changes it: Boundless Atonement doubles both the heal radius and the rate of healing for Sacrificial Spear.
None. The site is not eligible for Infuse, Reanimate or Replicate, though it is eligible for auto control groups. 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. It does not apply to a site that was never a fighting unit.
This is a hero ability with a physical body rather than a unit a player builds. Galavax spends 25 energy and a Thrall, and the army gets a healing position for 15 seconds. On a 10 second cooldown the ability can be repeated as fast as the energy and the Thralls allow, which for a faction that produces Thralls three at a time is often.
The exchange is the point and it is the faction identity in miniature: a cheap body goes in, sustain comes out. The same Thrall could instead have been fed to a Ritual Site for +50 health and +5 damage on an Emperor Projection, or sacrificed on the Citadel to cut research time. Three different mechanics compete for the same cheap bodies.
An armour value of 2 and Building armour make the site meaningfully hard to remove for something that costs a Thrall. 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. Two points against a swarm of small hits is a lot on a 150 health object.
Galavax is one of three named Legion commanders alongside Inquisitress and Kraegar, all produced at the Altar. Because the Legion is the only faction that brings all of its heroes to a single battle, a Legion army that includes Galavax always has access to this ability rather than choosing it over another hero. More on the commanders is at Heroes and Commanders.
The Legion also fields two Obelisk structures, the Healing Obelisk and the Guardian Obelisk, which cover sustain and defence from a fixed position. The Sacrificial Site is the mobile version of that idea: it goes where the hero is.
Building armour on something the record files as a unit is the interesting case. Weapons that carry a bonus against buildings apply to it, which within the Legion means the Mammoth at +150% and the Emperor Projection at +100% both hit a Sacrificial Site harder than they hit a soldier. The site has no tier at all, which is consistent with something created by an ability rather than researched or built.
Target | Why |
|---|---|
Nothing | The site has no weapon. It heals and nothing else. |
Threat | Why |
|---|---|
Bonuses against buildings | Building armour means every anti building bonus in the game applies. |
Waiting | The site lasts 15 seconds according to the hero ability that creates it, so ignoring it is often enough. |
The roster record for this unit is PARTIAL. Three fields are named as missing: cost, build time and description. A fourth is empty in the record without being flagged: the tier field.
Missing field | What is actually known |
|---|---|
Cost | Published as 0 hexite and 0 flux. The real price is a Thrall and 25 of Galavax energy, paid through his ability rather than at a production building. |
Build time | Not published. The site is created instantly by a hero ability rather than built. |
Description | The record publishes no description text. What this page says about duration and target restriction comes from the hero ability entry. |
Tier | Empty in the record. Not flagged in the roster, but absent. |
The shields field is also absent rather than set to zero, which is a different kind of gap from the other rows and is recorded here as unpublished rather than as a value of 0.
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.
