Penguin’s Gear Build

Very important and there are a couple things to mind regarding gear:

Penguin’s Emblem Priority

In the early game, aim for The Penguin’s Emblem Level 10 to unlock his initial Minion scaling, which provides essential meat shields to distract early campaign enemies. Reaching Level 20 in the mid-game is a major milestone because it significantly enhances the HP and Defense of his mechanical penguins, ensuring they stay on the field longer to soak up damage. The ultimate power spike occurs at Level 30, where his emblem can grant Energy restoration to Penguin whenever a minion is destroyed, allowing him to rapidly resummon his robotic army. This investment is high-tier because it transforms him from a niche summoner into a sustained distraction engine that can effectively stall high-damage bosses. Ultimately, his emblem is essential for Injustice or Tech-based lineups, providing the unique battlefield clutter needed to protect your backline from being targeted.

Penguin’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.
