DC: Dark Legion – Beginners FAQ

New Players Q&A
How to get more vehicles?
There are 4 vehicles total. Two vehicles available for free (base vehicle and then the one from the league store) and 2 behind a paywall in the source gem pact (T-Jet at stage 4, and Superman’s rocket at the final stage).
How to set squads?
- Go to the main menu on the main screen (three horizontal lines).
- Then scroll down to ‘Preset Squads’.
- You can set squads here from the toons and ships you have unlocked.


How to invite people to my league?
Click someone’s avatar in chat channel or somewhere, then choose “invite”.
How to change the avatar that walks in the world map?
It’s based on the back middle row. Who ever is in the slot in the middle is who appears on the map.
How to get league member limit above 40?
There’s an upgrade in the league tech tree.
How many shards does it take to star upgrade?
I’ve seen a few people asking about the shards required per star upgrade. Hopefully this infographic will clear that up a bit!

What are the best Starter Teams (Superman Bleed Era)?
Since most new players are starting on servers with only the Superman bleed event active, I’ve put together a visual guide to show the best characters to focus on for the next few weeks. I know this guide includes a lot of Justice League, but that’s what we have to work with until Joker and Scarecrow show up. Don’t worry, there are some exciting team comps to come in the following weeks!

What are War Room upgrade costs to Level 30?
I figured these out or verified them with my own War Room upgrades.

How to beat Training Simulator #175?
I found battle 175 to be a pretty hard stop for me in Training Simulator, even after I upgraded to WR 18 and got my champions to level 180. I finally made some modifications to my team composition and was able to do it. The enemies are Superman, Wonder Woman, Two-Face, Red Hood, and Green Lantern.
I put 3 blue star Superman, 1 purple star WW up front to mirror theirs. I then put 4 blue star Mera, 3 white star Fate, and 5 blue star Green Arrow on the backline. You really just need Superman to stay alive and keep getting his ultimate off, but having Green Arrow back there stunning and providing extra firepower helped.
I realize my Superman is pretty geared, but this is a 100% F2P team.
What is the right way to use Flash as a support?
Flash Double ultimate for hard missions, triple if timed correctly!
I find many people put down the Flash. Saying he’s the worst support I use all the time. He’s an essential part of my team and very versatile in almost any group. If you use some properly,
During a mission, if auto is turned on when Flash’s ability is ready, click it. It will auto-select a character. While he’s going to use the ultimate, click and hold his ultimate a second time. After he finishes recharging someone’s ultimate and then uses it, as long as you’re holding his ultimate down the second time, it will pause the game and allow you to use it again, getting 2 ultimates in a row. I’m not sure if this is a trick or something broken, but I know it’s helped a lot of people get through some difficult missions in the story mode. So in short, use Flash, have auto on. When it’s his turn, just double-click and hold the second click, and it will allow you to use it twice.
Are Recruitment draws reseting everyday?
When you pull a Mythic Champion or Legacy Weapon, your countdown will be reset to 50, even if it happens in the middle of 10 Draws. For example, when your number shows 35, and you do another “Draw x10,” if at the 8th of these 10 draws you get a Mythic Champion or Legacy Weapon, the number will be reset to 50 at that moment. But you still have 2 draws left going on automatically. That’s the reason you will see “48” after this Draw×10.
Which shelter building priority should I choose?
I would always aim for upgrades in this order:
- Construction or Research Boost
- Materials boost (Chips, Alloy…)
- Cash boost (Trade Markets)
Cash won’t be a problem in the long run, so focusing on the other types of buildings is worth a lot more.
Umbral Rifts Tips and Tricks
Prep Tips for Umbral Rifts:
League Leaders: When scheduling Umbral Rift, keep other time zone differences in mind. We have found that 11 AM EST/3 PM UTC is a good compromise worldwide.
- Move your team to the city the Umbral Boss is located.
- Recall any of your teams that you have patrolling.
Tips During Umbral Rift:
- “Stagger” launching assaults by timing your initiated attack 40-50 seconds after the last/most recently scheduled assault.
- When initializing an assault, always select the “5 min” countdown.
- Your second-best team(s) should initiate, while your best team joins the next/soonest available assault for max damage. This allows your top team to get the most attacks in/higher personal damage rewards.
- The primary goal is to maximize initiated assaults so there is room for everyone, including teams still in development.
Post-Umbral Rift Tip:
- League Leaders: Don’t forget to schedule the next Umbral Rift. It happens.

Base Room Appointment
Note that this is not a good > better > best. The point of this guide is to show you what we’ve found to be the best possible setup using characters in the game as of Portrait.
There may be other combinations that work, but we wanted to achieve a setup where all rooms had champions with 30% efficiency each.
For F2P players, you’ll likely be filling in gaps with what you have unlocked, but you should be able to start adding characters to the right rooms as you go.

Guardian Challenge Basic Strategy
- If no resistance, just launch one or two squads and stay put for 1 hour (don’t recall).
- Stamina is only used if combat with another player happens. If not attacked, you won’t consume any stamina and won’t have to move for an hour and can AFK.
- Points are generated every few seconds by staying garrisoned in the city and the towns.
