Looking for the best Watch Dogs: Legion starting character? There isn’t a set protagonist in Watch Dogs: Legion, as you have the freedom to recruit and play with any character in the open world. However, you will need to choose a starting character, and this decision is important as some characters have better skills than others.
It’s important to note that you won’t be stuck with your starting character forever, as you’ll be able to recruit more characters as you progress through the game. However, your starting character will affect the difficulty and fun of the game’s early hours, based on your playstyle. Don’t worry too much about making the right choice, as you can always change it later on.
Best Watch Dogs: Legion starting character
Avoid picking a character based solely on weapons or vehicles, as abilities are stronger and more valuable in the long run. You can also customise your character’s appearance, so don’t be too picky about looks.
Here are the perks and abilities for each starting character:
Based on this list, you can rule out options like Kurahawa Zentura, Wrench, Crowbar, Oscuro Ultra 8, and pistols and SMGs.
Now, you can pick based on which ability aligns with your playstyle to make the best choice:
The Loyalty Card, which offers discounts on clothing, is the weakest option, as clothing is not as important when you’ll be switching characters frequently. If you prefer non-lethal hacking, consider picking ctOS Drone or Fast Hacking for the ability to summon a drone or have shorter hack cooldowns. If you want to play more aggressively, Tough Drunk or Physically Fit, which increase your ability to take damage, are ideal choices. Priority Care and Police Contact can also be valuable for getting your operatives back in Action faster.
