DC Dark Legion guide – 7 tips that even superheroes can use

Like every respectable DC Universe fan, I felt it was my duty to share all the things you need to know about this experience, mainly because there are some things you need to avoid doing. So, today, we have a complete DC Dark Legion guide that will set you on the right path.

If you’ve played DC Dark Legion, you might have realized how excellent it is without a doubt. Given its popularity, that’s not unexpected since it’s currently one of the most highly anticipated games. However, you may not have noticed that you can fully immerse yourself in this game even if you are a free-to-play (F2P) player, as all the content can be completed using champions you receive at the beginning and some others you’ll recruit during gameplay.

So buckle up because below, you’ll find some hot tips for DC Dark Legion to help you get started and know exactly how to spend your time every day to get the most benefits!

Without any doubt, it’s very F2P-friendly

Despite it being so friendly towards people who don’t plan on spending a dime, there are also some perks for those who want to spend a buck or two! Of course, since DC Dark Legion is more PvE-oriented at the start, you want to make sure that all of the heroes you upgrade are top-tier – for that, I recommend you read the
Dark Legion tier list
I created.

Next, you can also think about making a one-time purchase to get a hero or a pack you’re particularly interested in and then continue the game as F2P. Regardless of what path you take, the end result is the same: you get to the late game with a decent team and complete as much content as possible.

Let’s dive into the DC Dark Legion tips then!

1 Tip #1 – Upgrade everything in your base to max

One of the first and most important things I recommend you do is upgrade all of the rooms in your base. The more you upgrade them, the more you’ll be able to upgrade the War Room. The War Room is the most important one of them all, since that is the one that will increase your power and champion level cap. I recommend that you always upgrade at least the required rooms needed to max out the War Room ASAP.

How to upgrade everything quickly

There is one little tip that will save you a lot of time when working on upgrades for your base. If you hold down the button to upgrade, you will do all the upgrades continuously. I recommend you do that, instead of tapping on everything one by one.

Appoint the right champions to each room

Each room can have a couple of champions appointed for production. I recommend that you always re-shuffle your champions as you get new ones, until you find the ones that give the most % increase to the room. For instance, in the Training Nexus with Black Canary and Bane, you will have 30% + 30%, so 60%, whereas in the Bio Lab with Mera and Red Hood, you only get 15% + 15%, so 30%. Make sure you deploy the ones that give you the best bonuses.

2 Tip #2 – Join a good, active League

Emphasize that being part of an active league is crucial. When you become a member (similar to joining a guild), you’ll be able to make improvements much quicker, and you’ll get to participate in legion battles where you can earn many valuable rewards. You can engage in several legion battles daily, which will accumulate to significant rewards over time.

Another good reason you need to join a League is because of all the free speed-ups you will get. This doesn’t come close to anything in terms of how good it is by itself. Whenever you have a room to upgrade (anything except the War Room), you can simply ask for help from your guildmates, and the timer will be cut considerably.

Don’t forget to make your daily donations

The only thing you should be doing in return to help your League colleagues is donate daily. You should also help everyone in need too, since they also help you.

3 Tip #3 – Complete all your dailies

There’s never a shortage of dailies and side quests in DC Dark Legion. You will have quite a few tasks that I recommend you complete every single day (the daily quests), but you will also have the side missions and main missions, which are essentially the “questline” and “side quests”.

First off, I suggest you focus on completing all your dailies. Those can be found when you tap on the Batman icon (bottom left side)> Daily. When you complete all of them, you can claim the max rewards chest, which gives you a lot of resources, especially ones needed to raise the level cap of heroes (Stimulator).

Then, we have the main missions, which are nice to do. They give you a lot of Energy Keys, which translate into a lot of pulls. You will complete these as you play anyway, so as long as you upgrade your base and champions and do your dailies (and a few more tasks every day), you will claim a lot of rewards from them too.

4 Tip #4 – Invest in a handful of heroes

It was mentioned briefly in the rankings, but building your team with top-tier champions is crucial whenever feasible. If necessary, you can swap out heroes, but it’s advisable to start with the strongest champions right away. The reset feature has a cooling period, so altering your entire squad could take some time if you wish to make significant changes.

Something else that could help you decide on a few good heroes for a team is their synergy. You should always check what kind of affinities a champion has, and choose their teammates based on that. Take Superman, for instance – he is part of the Superman Family, Metahuman and Justice League. You can see what kind of synergy he will get if you deploy multiple champions from the same factions (typically 3+). Always take this into account when you form a team.

5 Tip #5 – Want to spend money? This is what’s worth it!

I already mentioned that you have a plethora of options and things to do if you don’t want to spend money – what I failed to mention is what is worth buying if you do decide to spend some money! Of course, there are things that give you amazing rewards, and if you want to spend a few bucks once or every month, there are options. Here are the best items that give you the most bang for your buck:

Gift of the Source – this gives you the second construction queue, which is arguably the best thing you could buy for about $2.
Batman Starter Pack – this pack gives you Batman and some other goods for $2. You can claim rewards from this for 3 days straight.

6 Tip #6 – Complete World Map tasks

The more tasks you complete in the World Map, the more chapters you’ll unlock. The World Map has some tasks where you can go patrol, fight enemies or explore various cities. It’s best you try and use up all of your Intel Points every day here, because it will help you advance quicker.

When you have to face an enemy that you cannot beat (been there, done that), just go do something else – like the daily instances, then go back and upgrade your team, and challenge the World Map enemies again. It’s a constant back-and-forth here at the higher stages, so prepare yourself mentally!

7 Tip #7 – Other DC Dark Legion tips and tricks!

Here are a bunch more tips to help you:

Add more friends to your friends list, and don’t forget to send and receive daily gifts from all of them – these resources will add up nicely!
Do all of your daily coordinated assaults (Defeat the Dark Legion)!
Climb as much as you can in the Training Simulator because the rewards are pretty good!
