Today, we’re diving into how to get and strengthen your champions in DC: Dark Legion. Let’s build your dream team!
Obtaining Champions
- 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).
- 7-Day Login Rewards:
- Get 10 free Harley Quinn shards!
- 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.
- Purchasing Shards:
- Batman Starter Pack: Good value.
- Daily Deals: Purchase small amounts of shards for different heros, like Lex Luthor or Poison Ivy.
