DC: Dark Legion has officially launched globally, bringing the DC Universe to mobile strategy gaming. While having powerful individual characters is important, team composition and synergy are what truly determine your success in this game. The right team can amplify your strengths, cover weaknesses, and unlock powerful synergy bonuses that make a significant difference in battle.
In this guide, I'll break down the best DC Dark Legion team compositions for different stages of the game, from your first week to late-game progression. Whether you're a free-to-play player or willing to invest in the game, these DC Dark Legion team comps will help you maximize your roster's potential.
Understanding Team Synergies
Before diving into specific team compositions, it's important to understand how team comp work in DC: Dark Legion:
- Synergies: Characters sharing the same tag (Justice League, Legion of Doom, Arkham's Most Wanted, etc.) receive stat bonuses when placed together.
- Role Synergies: Balancing roles (Warriors, Guardians, Supporters, etc.) ensures your team has proper damage, tanking, and support capabilities.
- Skill Synergies: Some characters have abilities that specifically complement other heroes making them feel stronger than they actually are in current meta.
Early Game DC Dark Legion Team Comp
F2P Starter Team
This is the most accessible team for all players, as you'll receive most of these characters within your first days of playing. This team comp uses the Metahuman synergy for a 5% boost to Attack and HP.
Team Composition:
- Wonder Woman
- Killer Croc
- Mera
- Green Arrow
- Black Adam
| Character | Image | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Wonder Woman |  | Guardian |
| Killer Croc |  | Guardian |
| Mera |  | Supporter |
| Green Arrow |  | Firepower |
| Black Adam |  | Magical |
Why This Works: Wonder Woman provides excellent frontline protection with her stuns and shields, while Killer Croc reduces enemy's physical defense, amplifying the damage from Green Arrow. Mera keeps everyone alive with consistent healing. This team gives you a balanced mix of physical and magical damage, along with solid control and sustain. In later stages of the game, you can switch Mera with Green Lantern to further activate Justice League synergy as well.
F2P Friendly Rating: 5/5 - All characters are obtainable within the first few days without spending.
Birds of Prey (Harley Quinn Variation)
Once you receive Harley Quinn from the 7-day login bonus, you can build this team that depends on the Birds of Prey tag for a 15% lifesteal bonus, giving your team increased sustainability.
Team Composition:
- Wonder Woman
- Harley Quinn
- Vixen
- Mera
- Catwoman
| Character | Image | Role | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wonder Woman | | Guardian | Frontline tanking with stuns and shields |

| Vixen |  | Supporter | Team attack buffs |
| Mera | | Supporter | Reliable healing throughout battles |
| Catwoman |  | Warrior | Attack-stealing to weaken enemies and strengthen herself |
Why This Works: The 15% lifesteal from the Birds of Prey synergy complements Harley Quinn's self-healing. Vixen's attack buffs amplify the damage output of your entire team, making your lifesteal even more effective. Wonder Woman provides necessary tanking and control, while Mera ensures everyone stays healthy.
F2P Friendly Rating: 4/5 - Requires playing for at least 7 days to obtain Harley Quinn, but all characters are obtainable without spending.
Mid Game Dark Legion Team Comp
Justice League/Metahuman Hybrid
If you've been lucky enough to pull Superman from the early banners, this team leverages both Justice League and Metahuman tags for combined bonuses (15%/10% Attack/HP from Justice League and 10% Attack/HP from Metahuman).
Team Composition:
- Superman

Joker serves as the primary damage dealer, with his DoT effects becoming increasingly powerful as battles progress.
- Swap Tip: You can swap Joker with Sinestro for a more AoE focused team.

Strongest DC Dark Legion Team Comp
This team brings the best performing characters in the game together:
Team Composition:
- Superman
- Joker
- Green Lantern
- Wonder Woman
- Sinestro
| Character | Image | Role | Key Benefits |

| Superman | | Warrior | Physical damage dealer with scaling attack; provides some off-tanking |
| Joker | | Intimidator | DoT specialist with damage that scales throughout battles |
| Green Lantern | | Supporter | Best healer in the game with additional stun capabilities |
| Wonder Woman | | Warrior | Shield and Stuns |
| Sinestro | | Magical | Top magical damage dealer with powerful AoE ultimate |
Why This Works: While this team lacks more than one tag synergy, it compensates with overwhelming individual power. Each character is best-in-class for their role, creating a team with perfect damage type coverage: physical (Superman), DoT (Joker), magical (Sinestro), and all supported by the game's best healer (Green Lantern).
Pro Tip - Synergy Swap Options:
- No Synergy Powerhouse: Replace Wonder Woman with Deathstroke.
- Single Swap for Energy Wielder: Replace Joker with Dr Fate to activate Energy Wielder synergy (Green Lantern, Sinestro, Dr Fate).
- Double Swap for Legion of Doom and Weapon Master: Wonder Woman and Superman Swapped with Scarecrow and Deathstroke.

These character swaps allow you to maintain four S-tier characters while activating a full tag synergy, offering an excellent balance of raw power and team bonuses.

Conclusion
Team composition is an important factor in DC: Dark Legion, and the right synergies can make even relatively average characters perform exceptionally well together. Starting with the Metahuman team and progressing through Birds of Prey provides a solid foundation for F2P players, while those willing to spend can quickly jump to more premium compositions like Justice League or Legion of Doom.
Remember that while individual character power is important, the way heroes interact with each other often matters more. Even the strongest S-tier character can underperform without proper team support, while A-tier characters in the right composition can outperform less synergistic teams of higher-ranked heroes.
As you progress through the game, experiment with these compositions and adapt them based on which high-tier characters you've been able to obtain. The meta will continue to evolve as new characters are added and balance changes are implemented, so staying flexible with your team building approach is essential for long-term success.
