Legacy is Build a Phone Empire’s long-run reset: the official description says you sell the company, start again, and receive a permanent Legacy bonus. The public pages do not publish the exact threshold, bonus formula, retained items, reset list, or goal behavior. Read the current confirmation screen and make a full checkpoint before accepting.
Fix ordinary problems first
Do not use Legacy as the first response to one weak phone, a poor price, excessive office spending, or a failed region launch. Return to the last repeatable product, protect a complete cycle, and diagnose design, price, marketing, or costs. A reset can be useful, but it should not replace learning the business loop you must repeat afterward.
If the company is still growing through reachable research, funded products, and regions, continuing can provide more information and a stronger eventual bonus. If growth has clearly slowed and the current Legacy screen offers a meaningful permanent improvement, comparison becomes worthwhile.
Read the confirmation line by line
Record the requirement to use Legacy, the displayed company value or other metric, the exact permanent bonus, and every item the dialog says will reset or remain. Pay special attention to cash, year, devices, research, office, staff, regions, goals, purchases, and previous Legacy progress.
Do not assume paid Game Pass ownership is lost or retained based on another game; use Roblox ownership and the current confirmation. Do not assume goal rewards can be reclaimed or that all 28 goals reset until the live result proves it.
Legacy decision card
This is a comparison, not a fixed company-value recommendation. The live bonus and your rebuild speed determine the answer.
Make a pre-Legacy checkpoint
Save current cash, company year, company value or displayed reset metric, device lines, important designs, research nodes, RP, office, staff, regions, rivals, all visible goal states, current leaderboard metric, owned passes, existing Legacy bonus, and the offered new bonus. Capture the confirmation text.
Finish any product launch, research selection, goal claim, or purchase before beginning the reset. The company saves automatically, but Legacy is an intentional destructive action within the game; a clear checkpoint helps distinguish its designed result from a save problem.
Rebuild after Legacy
Return to the First Phone guide and use the simplest recorded baseline. Compare the early result with the prior run under the new permanent bonus. Research toward a product you know how to use, add office capacity only when needed, and avoid repeating decorative or staffing overspending.
The value of Legacy comes from how much faster or stronger the new run becomes under the current bonus. Record time or company milestones only if the measurement is comparable and relevant passes are disclosed.
Measure the permanent benefit
Choose one milestone you recorded in the prior run: first completed phone, first stable cash buffer, a known research unlock, a region requirement, or another visible company metric. Reach it again and compare the same fields. Do not attribute every difference to Legacy if you changed design strategy, bought a pass, or used a different market route.
A bonus can compound over several runs, but the exact formula must come from the game. Keep each Legacy count, offered bonus, accepted bonus, rebuild milestone, and check date separate.
Goals, research, and regions after reset
Inspect these systems immediately after the new company loads. Record what remains and what restarts. If a goal appears again, do not state that its cash reward is reclaimable until you complete or observe the current behavior. If research is cleared or retained, identify the exact nodes and RP state. If regions close, record the new unlock condition.
This post-reset check turns uncertainty into reusable guidance while avoiding a false universal list.
Common Legacy mistakes
- Resetting to escape one poorly priced product.
- Accepting before reading the exact permanent bonus and reset scope.
- Failing to claim or record visible goal rewards first.
- Assuming research, office, staff, regions, or goals behave like another tycoon.
- Comparing rebuild speed while changing passes or strategy without disclosure.
- Spending the permanent advantage on the same early overexpansion.
- Publishing an exact ideal reset threshold without current evidence.
Frequently asked questions
What does Legacy do?
The official description says it sells the company, starts again, and grants a permanent bonus.
When should I use Legacy?
When the live bonus and reset scope are understood, current growth has slowed, and you have a documented early route to rebuild. There is no verified universal threshold.
What do I keep?
Read the current confirmation. The public description does not list every retained or reset system.
Do the 28 goals reset?
Public first-party text does not say. Record goal state before and after Legacy and do not promise repeat rewards without a live result.
Is Legacy the same as losing a save?
No. Legacy is an intentional reset action. Automatic saving protects the company state, while Legacy changes it after confirmation.
