When building Firestorm in DC Worlds Collide, there are some important things to mind in order to make the hero work well or you will waste a lot of potential – and some of those things are obvious while others are rather hidden (also thanks to the fact that some tooltips could be actually added to explain some more). But we spends hundreds of hours testing so we can show you what to keep in mind here.
Important! If you want to check how well Firestorm does in the current meta of all heroes in DC Worlds Collide, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here and please also mind these strong meta teams here that will make your life a lot easier.
Tier SHere is a quick overview of the rankings of Firestorm for the different modes of the game. Please refer to the full tier list linked below to see the ranking of all heroes in DC Worlds Collide and full evaluation and priority.
Firestorm’s Gear Build
Very important and there are a couple things to mind regarding gear:
As you can see your gear has a set that will make a huge bonus when you complete 2/4 pieces of the same set. This is the first and most important checkbox to hit, make sure to have the set items correct – we recommend you have these set items (doesn’t matter what slot, just for the bonus):
Now the more interesting part is the flexible main stats and sub stats on each gear item. This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as you can’t upgrade all gear that you find. The resources are so expensive espcially for higher rarity that you should only upgrade gear that is perfect in main and sub stats for your hero! Here’s what the stats should be – if they check all boxes you can upgrade the gear item:
Unlock with PRO Hide plans
Firestorm’s Emblem Priority
In the early game, aim for Firestorm’s Emblem Level 10 to unlock a vital damage amplifier and a defensive shield that scales with his attacks, making him surprisingly tanky. Reaching Level 20 in the mid-game is a major milestone because it allows him to apply Burn more consistently to the backline, ensuring his “Firestorm Matrix” detonations trigger for massive area-of-effect damage. The ultimate power spike occurs at Level 30, where his badge maximizes his Ultimate potential, potentially allowing him to cycle turns and “delete” entire enemy teams with back-to-back attacks. This investment is considered top-tier because it transforms him from a standard attacker into the game’s premier Burn-based hyper-carry. Ultimately, his emblem is mandatory for late-game Burn or Mister Terrific teams, as his performance is widely considered underwhelming unless he is fully maxed out with these upgrades.
Firestorm’s Artifact
You can equip any class artifact to any hero and they will benefit differently well from that. Here’s the priority on how the ones that work will perform so you can pick the strongest option you have:
Please mind that new artifacts are released so this will grow more complex in the future, right now the artifacts are quite hirarchichal on the heroes,means use the highest rarity one on your strongest hero and so on when assinging them to your team.

Wow, just wasted a free Epic artifact search reward on the Krono’s Power Gauntlet because of this “guide” just to find out Firestorm can’t even equip it. Thanks.
Really sorry for that, we accidentially had a flag set there that made that error possible and fixed it. Not going to sugarcoat it, but the Power Gauntlet is absolutely great to have for the lantern heroes that you will run as well. You have all right to be angry here, would be the same if I were you. On behalf of the team I can only apologize.
Can’t equip Kronos Gauntlet on Firestorm…..
Seems like an issue.
Lol Krona’s Power Gauntlet is BiS? Really?
