How this matchup plays

Dueling Necrophos is a race against the clock for Legion Commander. His Heartstopper Aura continues to drain her health for the entire duration of the lockdown, making it a much riskier proposition than it seems. Necrophos doesn't even need to be fighting back effectively; his aura guarantees that Legion Commander will come out of the fight with less health than she went in with, assuming she wins at all. If her team doesn't immediately follow up, she is often left as a prime target for a Reaper's Scythe.

This dynamic forces Legion Commander to be very selective with her Duels. She needs a clear advantage or immediate backup to secure a kill on Necrophos without it backfiring. For Necrophos, the goal is to position himself so that getting Dueled is a trap. He wants to survive the duration, forcing Legion into a bad spot for his team to clean up. The outcome often hinges on which hero's allies can react faster, making most head-on encounters a genuine toss-up.
