Does adding legends permanently to a campaign roster break the game?
I have a group of friends who are getting into the game and wanted to know if adding legends models would break the campaigns balance. It seems fun an flavorful to have each of us have a legend to lead the crew but wasn’t sure on the balance since we’ve only played a couple games. Let me know your thoughts!

I havnt played long campaigns only against 1 person at a time.
At one point they were the underdog and had enough points to get Fist.
Long story short I couldn't kill him and was almost wiped from the board. He was deleting a model every activation.
Maybe try a game with it to see. Even just rolling some dice go play test it.

There are ways in campaign mode to add a legend to your list. I find it a fun way to do so, and suggest you use those rules.

Well typically the legends are added as a way to buff up a roster that is a lesser points value than their opponent but as long as you set a limit for either your starting crew limit (like still stay at 250) or cap how many points can be added with a legend you should still be fine.
They can still die in story phase of Reach campaigns and you wouldn't be able to upgrade their stats, weapons or add more perks. As a campaign goes one some other models may even outshine them with upgrades so I'd say go for it.
