1st Week Team (More or Less)
Metahumman
This is THE starter team for you in DC Dark Legion. You get the heroes in the first minutes and especially Green Arrow and Wonder Woman go a long way with their skills upgraded here. This team is very likely your main squad until you have quite an arsenal of mythics with skills so even in War Room level 15+ you will likely run this in sort of a variation.
Post 1st Week Team
Now you have unlocked some more heroes that will give you more team options and for most players, these teams here make sense and will probably your main squad for a while until you unlocked some more mythic and their skills:
Birds of Prey (Harley Quinn)
Once you got Harley Quinn from the 7-Day Login Bonus and maybe even have gotten lucky enough for some extra shards to unlock more skills, you can get into this team with a lot of extra Lifesteal which makes it so much easier since Meras healing is not always on point when you need it and if you have the Harley Quinn passive that she recovers based on her damage, this team is a real nice one
Birds of Prey (Poison Ivy)
If you’re not too much unto Harley Quinn or you have been lucky enough to pick up Posion Ivy and unlock her skills (there are a couple bonus options where this is possible), this is an alternative lifesteal team that works really well
Birds of Prey (Hawkgirl)
After the Constantine Banner when Hawkgirl becomes available, she opens up a whole new level for this team
Metahuman/Superman
Chances are high that you pick up Superman early and he is already a monster at 1-Star. You can use him in the very starter team as frontline hero along Wonder Woman and use Vixen to boost up overall damage
Progressed Teams
These teams here are a little down the road since you need to unlock the mythic and their skills:
Full Justice League
For a ton of AoE damage, this team here is an amazing pick once you unlock the heroes and get their skills unlocked. For most players this doesn’t really happen for quite a while, though. I personally love to use Cyborg here but you can replace him with Flash. If you don’t have Superman at all, Wonder Woman can be a replacement but even at 1-Star, Superman is working amazingly well.
Outsiders Counterattack
Use Martian Manhunter and Arsenal for counterattack and build some Justice League synergy along the way
Justice League Dark
A lot of Spiritual and AoE damage if you do go for the banner heroes here
Justice League Dark Disrupt
With the release of Swamp Thing you can make a full Justice League Dark team that will do a lot of spiritual damage and disrupt enemy energy, ideal for all pvp teams
Full Arkham Most Wanted
The firther you get, the longer the fights get and this DoT team is wrecking everything if the time is enough. Also a lot of messing with the opponent make it the most fun team for me
Arkham of Doom
Powerhouse combo with different team tags but with supercharged Energy recovery you will deal so much damage that you will love this team here
Bat Family
Crit Burst Team that nukes everything as quickly as possible and deals maximum damage. Great for bosses but also a lot of fun.
Bat Family Full
Once Nightwing is available on your server you can replace Red Hood and make an incredibly strong crit setup that burst like a truck. Only downside, there is literally no real healing involved other then some self-healing but in PvP and Combat Cycle this team will crush enemies
Superman Family
They have incredibly synergy but you have to wait until all the heroes are actually released. But once that is the case you will see what they can do and they are rocking on another level if all heroes have all skills unlocked and ideally have their exclusive legacy pieces. I know, a big IF, but they are incredibly strong
League of Assassins
Not ready now and for sure is missing the support hero that ties them all together
Endgame Teams
For end-game, and we are talking with the latest heroes and all gimmicks, these teams here are optimized to use many tag synergies for maximum power:
Arkhams Most Wanted Full
With The Riddler and ideally Nurse Harley (I know tough invest), you have a great synergy team here with tons of control, debuffing and taking care of business
Death Metal Amazons
The pinnacle of teams if you do have the heroes for it, but that is heavy investment territory with Death Metal Wonder Woman
Teen Titans Full
With Wally West absolutely crazy good team that is a lot easier to obtain compared to the Death Metal amazons
Justice Leage Dark + Energy Wielder
This team here full goes for 5x Justice League Dark (+30% Spiritual AMP) + 4x Energy Wilder (HP +12%) additionally to the heroes being pretty strongthemselves together
Justice Leage Dark + Energy Wielder (Budget)
This team here full goes for 3x Justice League Dark (+20% Spiritual AMP) + 4x Energy Wilder (HP +12%) which is pretty good if you don’t have Zatanna
Justice League + Metahuman
This team here full goes for 5x Justice League (+20% ATK and +10% HP) + 4x Metahuman (ATK +10% and HP +5%) additionally to the heroes being pretty strongthemselves together. This is so much extra stats that they can easily overcomehuge deficits
Legion of Doom + Weapon Master
This team here full goes for 4x Leagion of Doom (+18% Energy Restoration) + 3x Weapon Master (ATK +15%) which lets them hit fast and hard at the same time
Teen Titans
Not just 4x Teen Titans (Crit DMG +36%), we also have here 3x Bat Family (Crit Rate +15%) and 4x Weapon Master (+12% ATK) for a lot of high burst damage in the house
Arkams Most Wanted + More
Not just 3x Arkams Most Wanted (+20% Effect ACC and +10% HP), also 3x Leagion of Doom (+15% Energy Restoration) + 3x Weapon Master (ATK +15%) makes this team play alltheir strengths together
Super Family
The famous Superman Family team with 5x Metahuman (ATK +10% and HP +5%) and 4x Superman Family (crazy much extra ATK scaler)
Suicide Squad
With Lobo possible but honestly not too great looking at how old your server has to be when he becomes available where other team synergies are already stronger
Justice League F2P
Yes, this is the mist accessible team here that is actually not using any paid heroes and can be build through events and the first banner for Superman with 3x Justice League (+10% ATK and +10% HP) + 3x Metahuman (ATK +5% and HP +5%) and 3x Superman Family (crazy much extra ATK scaler)
Freeze Arkham Most Wanted
With Mr Freeze in the picture, this team synergy gets quite a good boost up

Hey what do you think of replacing Ivy or Luther for DeathStroke in the ark doom team?
Would for sure keep Ivy here and replace Luther, but also you should test as Deathstroke needs to really invested in a lot to work. I am pretty sure, without running test myself, that he also needs his legacy piece for sure to work well. But if well-built, he will ramp up a lot versus Luther
