Legendary Order

3-2-4-5/1

Batman’s rework has kept him largely the same as before but with some pretty nice upgrades. Consider moving up his Team Leader upgrade if you find yourself running him as leader often — but keep in mind it’s only a 50% chance to apply Awareness when the other 50% buff purge activates.

Synergies

Batman – World’s Greatest Detective enjoys stripping buffs from enemies, and pairing him with other allies who do the same can keep enemies from ramping up. Consider pairing him with Wonder Woman – Princess of Themyscira to help keep your team free of debuffs as well.

Wonder Woman – PoT, Wonder Girl, Red Robin

Countered By

Energy characters can counter Batman nicely. Consider taking Batman out fairly early; his True Sight granted to his entire team can make your entire team vulnerable, unable to hide with invisibility or taunts.

Notes

Batman – World’s Greatest Detective brings great utility to the game by being able to lower ally cooldowns and grant 100% turn meter. His damage is on the weaker side, so when using him consider bringing in another, heavier-hitting Physical character to deal with pesky Mystical characters.
