Best Heroes in DC Dark Legion

Superman

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Warrior
Synergy Justice League, Superman Family, Metahuman

In the game we’re playing, Superman stands out as the most effective character for dealing damage right now. As a Mythic hero, it’s definitely worth considering investing in Superman if you manage to get him. His freeze ability can momentarily incapacitate opponents, and his heat ray lowers their defense, thereby boosting the amount of damage he inflicts. If you’re thinking about where to allocate your resources for character development, Superman should be at the top of your list.

Joker

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Intimidator
Synergy Arkham’s Most Wanted, Weapon Master

The Joker’s power lies in inflicting continuous damage, making him exceptionally potent against tough PvE scenarios. He also complements top-tier characters like Batman, Harley Quinn, and others very effectively, reinforcing his status as an elite S-tier character.

Green Lantern

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Supporter
Synergy Justice League, Green Lantern Corps, Energy Wielder

At present, Green Lantern is the top healer in the game, boasting unrivaled healing powers. Moreover, his unique skill of inflicting a 2-second stun adds extra value to him. Notably, when combined with three other popular Justice League characters such as Superman, Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman, Green Lantern enhances your champions’ Attack (ATK) by 15% and Health Points (HP) by 10%. This is due to the synergy between the Justice League members.

Deathstroke

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Assassin
Synergy Legion of Doom, League of Assassins, Weapon Master

It might come as a surprise, but we rate Deathstroke as being somewhere between top-tier S and upper-tier A in our estimation. This character is among the most potent single-target damage dealers in the game, capable of swiftly dismantling high-value targets. His abilities enable him to bypass enemy front lines and target vulnerable back-line characters for elimination.

Sinestro

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Magical
Synergy Legion of Doom, Energy Wielder

In simpler terms, Sinestro is the top choice for inflicting magical damage within the game. With adequate enhancement, his area-of-effect ultimate has the power to annihilate entire enemy teams, which makes him an indispensable asset when it comes to swiftly handling groups of adversaries.

His knack for dealing substantial damage to many opponents simultaneously and his compatibility with multiple team members makes him an essential piece in any team composition, particularly when building around Energy Wielder synergies. Additionally, he can be effectively combined with other Legion of Doom characters, enhancing his energy regeneration rate.

A Tier Characters

Batman

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Warrior
Synergy Justice League, Bat Family, Weapon Master

Batman proves to be an indispensable member of Justice League squads, and he truly shines when leading the Bat-team rosters.

1. He deals a notable amount of damage, and he’s durable enough to stay in battles for a significant period, contributing to the outcome. For those aiming to construct teams centered on the Bat-family alliance, Batman is indispensable.

2. His ability to dish out damage is commendable, and his toughness keeps him in combat long enough to influence the battle. For players focusing on the Bat-family team dynamics, Batman is a crucial piece of the puzzle.

Green Arrow

Stats
Hero Type Legendary
Role Firepower
Synergy Justice League, Weapon Master

Green Arrow serves as an ideal choice for focusing on a single enemy while dealing damage from a distance as a ranged DPS (Damage Per Second) character. His accessibility makes him a go-to option for many players during both early and intermediate stages of gameplay, contributing significantly to their progression.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but notice that Green Arrow’s gear is packed with high critical damage. This archer just slots right in with the Justice League lineup, boosting his overall usefulness for novice players like me, making our team compositions even stronger!

Wonder Woman

Stats
Hero Type Legendary
Role Guardian
Synergy Justice League, Justice League Dark, Metahuman

In simpler terms, among all the characters in the game, Wonder Woman is considered the most approachable tank, second only to Scarecrow. Being a Legendary hero, she’s relatively easy to acquire and enhance, which makes her a crucial component for players who don’t spend money on the game.

Her toolkit encompasses shields and disabling abilities, two of the game’s strongest mechanisms. These tools enable her to safeguard her team and manage potential threats from opponents. It’s essential not to undervalue her influence due to her Legendary status – Wonder Woman is a crucial foundation for almost any team configuration.

Raven

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Supporter
Synergy Titans, Justice League Dark, Energy Wielder

Although Raven may not be the top healer in the game, she is particularly strong in PvP (Player vs Player) matches. Her unique skill of swapping places with frontline tanks at crucial moments can keep them from getting killed, effectively turning the tide of a fight. Raven works exceptionally well with characters who share the Energy Wielder synergy. However, we believe that she often fades into the background compared to healers like Green Lantern and Mera.

Aquaman

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Supporter
Synergy Justice League, Atlanteans, Metahuman

As a gamer, I’ve found that Aquaman truly shines in the support role. Instead of going for straight-up damage, he takes care of enemy management. With his knack for orchestrating massive area-of-effect (AOE) assaults and his powerful push-back moves, he stands out as a highly effective choice in any game setup.

In a complete Justice League lineup, Aquaman receives an extra 10% damage capacity and a 5% increase in health points, thereby enhancing his strength within the current game environment since many other Justice League characters are currently effective in play.

Mera

Stats
Hero Type Legendary
Role Supporter
Synergy Energy Wielder

Among the top pure healers, Mera stands out as one of the most exceptional choices, becoming an indispensable selection for free-to-play gamers. Compared to Green Lantern, who offers superior healing abilities, Mera proves to be far more attainable as a Legendary hero.

Mera’s healing capacity generates a compact area effect. Unfortunately, she struggles to form effective partnerships due to the absence of tag synergies, limiting her contribution to team advantages. Nevertheless, her potent healing power far outweighs this disadvantage.

Poison Ivy

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Supporter
Synergy Arkham’s Most Wanted, Birds of Prey, Energy Wilder

Poison Ivy boasts an exclusive blend of healing abilities and damage potential, which makes her extremely adaptable and useful within the current game environment.

As a gamer, I find Ivy to be quite the challenging adversary, not because she’s overpowered, but due to the fact that opponents frequently squander their ultimate moves on her vines, leaving my heroes relatively unscathed. Her crowd control abilities make it even more difficult to strategize against her. If you want to maximize Ivy’s potential, pair her with Joker (if Green Lantern isn’t available), Dr Fate, Mera, and Scarecrow for a formidable team.

Scarecrow

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Guardian
Synergy Legion of Doom, Arkham’s Most Wanted, Weapon Master

In the game, Scarecrow stands out as the most robust tank, making him an essential component in many team formations. What sets Scarecrow apart is his twofold compatibility with both Legion of Doom and Arkham’s Most Wanted, which gives him the ability to connect diverse team compositions. This adaptability paves the way for potent team synergies such as Joker, Ivy, Scarecrow, Sinestro, and either Deathstroke or Lex Luthor.

Black Adam

Stats
Hero Type Legendary
Role Magical
Synergy Legion of Doom, Metahuman

Black Adam inflicts significant spiritual harm and boasts a potent area-of-effect (AOE) final ability. Although he may not surpass Sinestro in sheer damage output, he is easier to utilize.

Zatanna

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Supporter
Synergy Justice League Dark, Energy Wielder

In the game, it’s clear that Zatanna stands out as the top pure support character. Not only does she effectively amplify her team’s attacks, but she’s also capable of dishing out significant damage on her own.

Harley Quinn

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Warrior
Synergy Weapon Master, Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad

Harley Quinn boasts impressive durability thanks to her self-healing abilities that activate when she takes damage, and her area-of-effect attacks make her versatile across different game settings. She also has three distinct team synergies, making her a valuable addition in various teams. Additionally, if she lands a kill, she gains extra energy, which can be maximized further. In our view, it’s wise to allocate some of your resources towards her, particularly during the early stages of account development.

Dr. Fate

Stats
Hero Type Mythic
Role Guardian
Synergy Justice League Dark, Energy Wielder

Dr. Fate’s protective shield mechanism offers top-notch defense against intense damage, which makes him incredibly useful in player versus player (PvP) scenarios and tough player versus environment (PvE) content. His talent for safeguarding the entire team can be a pivotal turning point.

Though Dr. Fate’s individual damage is minimal, he performs admirably even without any star upgrades, making him a fantastic choice for those who don’t spend money. Pairing him with healers such as Poison Ivy results in a robust defensive setup that often endures longer than most opponents due to his protective shields.

Other B-Tier Heroes

The remaining B-tier heroes include:

  • Flash
  • Robin
  • Killer Croc
  • Shazam
  • Red Robin
  • Red Hood
  • Lex Luthor

In certain situations, these characters can perform effectively, but they may not be a wise long-term investment unless they work exceptionally well with the rest of your team setup.

C-Tier and D-Tier Heroes

In general usage, C-rank and D-rank characters often come with considerable drawbacks, making them less preferable compared to other choices in many scenarios.

C-Tier Heroes

  • Star Girl
  • Black Canary
  • Catwoman
  • Penguin
  • Captain Cold
  • Bane
  • Martian Manhunter
  • Vixen

D-Tier Heroes

  • Deadshot
  • Gatling Gal
  • Bang Bang
  • Patrolman
  • Cross Bar
  • Big Boy
  • Home Fun
  • Shield Squad
  • Bazooka Bro
  • Chop Chop
  • Good Day AK

Conclusion

With the recent global debut of Dark Legion, this tier list is still in its infancy and will likely change as time passes and fresh characters enter the scene, shaping the game’s meta. The rankings shown here represent our current insights into hero effectiveness, but keep in mind that your personal experiences might differ based on your unique playstyle and team combinations.

As a fellow enthusiast, I’d recommend starting with easily attainable Legendary characters such as Wonder Woman, Mera, Green Arrow, and Black Adam. These heroes will form a solid base for your collection. If you manage to acquire Mythic heroes like Superman, Joker, or Sinestro, they are definitely worth the investment, but remember not to stretch your resources too thin by attempting to amass every character available.

Keep in mind that the game is constantly updating with tweaks for balance and introducing new characters. So, always stay agile and ready to adjust your tactics as the playing style (meta) evolves over time.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve crafted this rankings system, drawing inspiration from the brilliant content that Quantum and Stew Gaming consistently produce on their YouTube channels.
