Aside from the normal hirable leaders and the occasionally appearing Renowned Paragons that can appear with the help of Xeno-Linguists technology, Stellaris also has these unique Legendary Paragons that can be enlisted as a leader. However, these Legendary Paragons are only for empires that are lucky enough to encounter them in the vast abyss of the galaxy.
Stellaris: 12 Best Leader Traits To Prioritize, Ranked
In Stellaris, players will find themselves in a favorable position if they acquire some of these Leader traits.
Due to their rarity, these Legendary Paragons can sometimes be found only in certain specific circumstances, such as finding a unique star system or appearing randomly every decade with an exceedingly low chance. Due to their rarity, these Legendary Paragons can be expected to bring prosperity to the empires that enlisted their service.
6 Zadigal
Emissary Of The Formless
- Spacebender: Grants monthly Astral Threads, increases Jump Drive Range, and reduces Jump Drive cooldown
- Will leave if the empire becomes hostile to the Formless.
Players who have been playing Stellaris' downloadable content, Astral Planes, will be familiar with the concept of the Formless faction that lies within the core of the galaxy. Managing to finish the event and enlisting the service of the faction will enable the player to hire zadigal as a leader, who is a formidable admiral with their own advantages.
Stellaris: 10 Best Relics, Ranked
Relics in Stellaris provide empires with incredible power. These are the best ones to have in the game.
Perhaps the most prominent strength they have is the trait Spacebender, which enables them to use Jump Drive freely without too much cooldown with a large range, making the fleet very mobile compared to the other fleet with different admirals.
5 Skrand Sharpbeak
Stranded Admiral With Their Own Ways Of Fighting
- Shield of the Empire: Increase evasion, fire rate, and shield hit points when in friendly systems.
- Unlocks the best Strike Craft technology in the game, Skravird Strike Craft
Strike craft-oriented ship designs have been entering the meta again for quite some time due to their flexibility and range of engagement against hostile ships. Currently, every empire can only acquire up to three tiers of strike craft technology, which is the Advanced Strike Craft. However, the strongest strike craft lies locked within the exclusive technology, Skravird Strike Craft.
This can only be obtained by enlisting Skrand Sharpbeak and finishing all the unique situations that the leader spawns after joining the empire. In addition, Skrand becomes the best leader when engaging in a defensive war inside friendly systems due to the Shield of the Empire trait.
4 Gray
Remnants Of The Infamous Gray Tempest
- Nanite Entity: Leader is immortal, reduces building cost, increases planetary build speed, reduces clear block cost, increases clear blocker speed, and increases energy and minerals from jobs.
- Able to shift forms between a Legendary Paragon, a Nanite Titan ship, and a Nanite Warform army
Players who are brave enough to open the L-Cluster are rolling dice between unleashing a murderous nanite army, ancient horde of dragons, a suspicious empire with strange behavior, or a single nanite form that is friendly enough to offer their service, which is Gray. By getting Gray, an empire will be able to enjoy a variety of choices between a Legendary Paragon, a strong Titan ship, or a strong army number 1k strength number.
Stellaris: 10 Leviathans With Best Rewards, Ranked
The following leviathans provide tremendous rewards in Paradox's Stellaris.
In their Legendary Paragon form, Gray offers the competence of governing a planet with its plethora of positive traits. The main Destiny trait, Nanite Entity, makes Gray immortal while also giving various bonuses to the planet, in particular increasing energy and minerals gained from jobs.
3 The Beholder
An Enigmatic Pillar Capable Of Shifting Forms
-
Two different forms:
- As Commander in space, command a heavily armored ship that disables all shield in the system.
- As Official governing a planet or sector, it has Psionic Communion (increase 5 stability) and Xeno-Mediator (increase Happiness and Amenities based on species numbers on the planet or sector)
Players who tend to favor Xenophile empires will love to have The Beholder on their planets, since the Legendary Paragon heavily favors empires that are comfortable in housing species other than their own, be it biological or robotic. By having a variety of species, The Beholder will grant a bonus in both Happiness and Amenities, boosting their productivity massively.
Moreover, its other form as a heavily armored ship in space creates a unique advantage as it disables all shields in the system on which it roams. By specializing in ship designs with armor, The Beholder will be able to support a fleet of heavily armored ships and decimate hostile threats that rely on shields, such as the Enigmatic Fortress.
2 Keides
The Paragon With Many Gifts
- There are numerous event chains and archaeological sites that need to be completed before realizing his full potential.
- On completion will also grant the relic The Key.
Archaeological sites and unique anomalies are identical to the advantages that an empire will acquire should they manage to hoard all of them. By managing to recruit Keides, which will always be discoverable if the player manages to survey the unique system Dugar, a player will be able to secure not only Keides' service but also a plentitude of Archaeological Sites with interesting event chains and a powerful relic.
Stellaris: 10 Archaeological Sites To Watch Out For
These archaeological sites in Stellaris contain discoveries that can be game-changing for a player's empire.
The relic comes in the form of The Key, which increases Physics research speed and reduces Jump Drive cooldown. Moreover, it also increases all fleet mobility when activated. Between the Relic and Keides' own strengths as Scientist leader, he becomes a powerful Legendary Paragon to prioritize.
1 Astrocreator Azaryn
The Best Paragon With A Fatal Event Chain
- Able to terraform three planets into Gaia World, at the price of her own life once the third planet is terraformed.
- Perceptive Mentor: Increase additional trait options for all leaders.
Although her chances of appearing are quite rare, since she only appears starting at 1% chance every decade, Azaryn becomes one of the most sought-after Legendary Paragons due to her unique advantages, although one of them could cost her own life due to a unique interaction.
Her first ability to terraform three planets into Gaia World is quite beneficial since she will be able to turn even huge-sized Barren Planets into lush Gaia Worlds, making it the perfect candidate for a Tech-World and increasing the chance for players to acquire rare technologies. However, after using all three terraform options, Azaryn will die. Therefore, it is important to keep her alive by simply terraforming two planets.
