Published on: 2025-03-21 Welcome back, Commanders!

Today, we’re diving into how to get and strengthen your champions in DC: Dark Legion. Let’s build your dream team!

Obtaining Champions

1. Pre-Registration Rewards:

• Harley Quinn (Recommended): Best early boost, synergizes with 7-day login.
• Batman (Good): Solid choice, especially for light spenders.
• Green Lantern (Heavy Spenders Only): Powerful, but paywalled.
• Skip Wonder Woman and Flash (easily obtainable in-game).

2. 7-Day Login Rewards:

• Get 10 free Harley Quinn shards!

3. Path of Justice (Complete quests for a Mythic Hero Selector.):

• Poison Ivy (Recommended): Great healer and damage dealer.
• Lex Luthor (Legion of Doom Focus): Solid choice.

4. Purchasing Shards:

• Batman Starter Pack: Good value.
• Daily Deals: Purchase small amounts of shards for different heros, like Lex Luthor or Poison Ivy.

5. Mother Boxes:

• Decode for shards and other rewards. Aim for Divine Energy Keys (red boxes) for Mythic shards.

6. The Bleed:

• Use World Anvil Fragments to pull Mythic and Legendary champions.
• Focus on Interstellar Visitor (weekends) and Supreme Commander to get fragments.
• Plan ahead, and save fragments for the bleed characters that you really want.

7. Custom Mythic Champion Shards:

• Earn through Darkest Timeline and seasonal events.
• Select specific Mythic shards (excluding bleed characters).

8. Stores:

• Mystery Store: World Anvil fragments (prioritize 60 and 180 gem options).
• League Store: Shazam or Flash (use sparingly; focus on Quantum Components).
• Metabrawl store: Bane and Raven shards.

Powering Up Champions:

1. Levels:

• Increase War Room level to raise champion level cap.
• Focus on your top 5 champions.

2. Stars:

• Obtain duplicates through The Bleed and Mother Boxes.
• Legendary characters are easier to star up.

3. Legacy Pieces:

• Obtain through The Bleed, Monitor’s Legacy Pass, and House of Secrets.
• Match stats to champion roles (e.g., attack for damage dealers, defense for tanks).

4. Force (ACDC Shards):

• Upgrades champion abilities.
• Focus on percentage-based upgrades.

5. Gear:

• Craft and upgrade gear in the Armory.
• Deconstruct excess gear for building blocks.
• Look for gear with tag bonuses that match your team.

Note on Champion Reset:

• Reset champions level 1-300 (excluding Force).
• Only level 5 champions to save resources.

Key Takeaways

• New Players should prioritize Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy for any free champion selectors or events.
• Save your gems for Interstellar Visitor so you can buy anvils to be used in the Bleed.
