S-Tier Heroes

These heroes possess exceptional abilities that make them absolute meta-defining powerhouses in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Dominating tier lists as permanent must-pick/ban candidates, they can single-handedly carry teams to victory with their game-breaking potential when left unbanned.

Superman

Hero Type	Class	Synergy
Mythic	Warrior	Justice League, Superman Family, Metahuman

Superman is hands-down the best damage dealer in the game right now. As a Mythic hero, he's a must-have investment. His freeze ability pauses enemies in their tracks, and his heat ray slashes their defense, pumping up his damage. If you're going to spend resources on any character, Prioritize him for your first resources!

Green Lantern

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

Green Lantern shines as the game's premier healer, boasting unrivaled healing power and a handy 2-second stun. Team him up with Justice League stars like Superman, Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman for a sweet 15% ATK and 10% HP boost.

 

The Joker: Joker's damage-over-time stacking excels in tough PvE. He synergizes with top characters like Batman and Harley Quinn, solidifying his S-tier status.

Sinestro: Sinestro, the best magical damage dealer, can delete enemy teams with his AOE ultimate. Essential for Energy Wielder teams, he regains energy faster with Legion of Doom allies

 

A+ Tier Heroes

A+ tier heroes are just a notch below S-tier but remain incredibly strong. These heroes are fantastic additions to any team with the right support.

Wonder Woman

Hero Type	Class	Synergy
Legendary	Guardian	Justice League, Justice League Dakr, Metahuman

For non-spenders, Wonder Woman shines as the top tank after Scarecrow. Her Legendary status makes her easy to snag and level up. With killer shields and incapacitate skills, she's a must-have for protecting your team and shutting down enemies.

Green Arrow

Hero Type	Class	Synergy
Legendary	Firepower	Justice League, Weapon Master

Green Arrow stands out as an accessible single-target ranged DPS hero, perfect for early to mid-game success. With high critical damage and seamless Justice League synergy, he's a top pick for new players looking to build a strong team.

 

Harley Quinn: Playful yet deadly, Harley Quinn's high stats and accessibility make her a versatile and fun option.

Mera: A premier healer, Mera's water-based abilities provide excellent sustain, though she may lack synergy with some tags.

Zatanna: This magical support hero offers a mix of healing and damage, making her a well-rounded choice for various team setups.

Batman: The Dark Knight brings solid damage and utility, holding his own despite being slightly outshined by Superman.

Poison Ivy: With a unique blend of healing, damage, and crowd control, Poison Ivy's battlefield manipulation is a strategic asset.

 

A-Tier Heroes

A-tier heroes are strong and reliable but may require more strategic play to unlock their full potential. They're great choices for well-coordinated teams.

Deathstroke

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

Deathstroke excels at assassinating key targets with his ability to bypass front lines and strike the back line. His single-target burst damage is unmatched, earning him a spot in the A tier.

Doctor Fate

Hero Type	Class	Synergy
Mythic	Guardian	Justice League Dark, Energy Wielder

Dr. Fate's game-changing team shields offer unmatched protection against burst damage, shining in PvP and tough PvE. Despite low damage, he's effective at zero stars, ideal for non-spenders. Pair with Poison Ivy for an ultra-durable setup.

 

Aquaman: With water-based skills, Aquaman is a solid pick, especially in synergy-driven aquatic teams.

Nightwing: Agile and skilled, Nightwing offers dependable combat prowess and leadership.

Raven: A PvP standout, Raven's position-swapping abilities disrupt enemy plans with ease.

Black Adam: his magical damage dealer excels at applying debuffs, shining in specific compositions.

Scarecrow: With the right upgrades, Scarecrow can hold his own, though he's often outclassed by higher tiers.

 

B-Tier Heroes

B-tier heroes are decent performers that can contribute to a team but lack the standout qualities of higher tiers. They're viable with extra effort.

Name	Hero Type	Class	Synergy
Martian Manhunter	Mythic	Warrior	Arkham's Most Wanted, Weapon Master
Two-Face	Mythic	Firepower	Justice League, Titans, Weapon Master
Flash	Mythic	Supporter	Justice League, Metahuman, The Flash Family

Batgirl	Mythic	Supporter	Bat Family, Birds of Prey, Weapon Master
Robin	Mythic	Assassin	Bat Family, Titans, Weapon Master
Shanzam	Mythic	Guardian	Justice League, Metahuman

B-tier heroes offer decent early/mid-game performance but lack late-game scalability. While serviceable with investment, they're often outclassed by higher-tier units in advanced content.

 

C-Tier Heroes

C-tier heroes are situational picks that can work in specific contexts but generally underperform compared to higher tiers.

Name	Hero Type	Class	Synergy
Bane	Mythic	Guardian	League of Assassins, Arkham's Most Wanted, Metahuman
Captain Cold	Legendary	Intimidator	Suicide Squad, Weapon Master
Killer Croc	Legendary	Guardian	Legion of Doom, Suicide Squad

Black Canary	Mythic	Intimidator	Birds of Prey
Catwoman	Legendary	Warrior	Bat Family, Weapon Master, Arkham's Most Wanted
Atom	Legendary	Warrior	Titans, Justice League
Red Robin	Mythic	Guardian	Weapon Master

C-Level Characters in DC: Dark Legion are second only to D-Level Characters in terms of vulnerability, with their lackluster abilities giving them no advantage against the top tier characters. Skip investing in them and replace them with better heroes as early as possible.

 

D-Tier Heroes

D-tier heroes are the weakest in DC: Dark Legion, with limited abilities and poor performance. It is not recommended that players choose to train them.
