Legendary Order

3-1-2-5-4

Black Canary’s turn meter manipulation is powerful — making her 3rd and 1st legendary upgrades worthwhile. Her leader ability’s legendary upgrade limits her teammate selection to only characters that have evasion-up moves, limiting its usefulness. That’s not to discount Black Canary as a leader — her ability to give non-evading characters Evasion Ups can change the tide of battle; its the legendary upgrade for the skill that is less useful with a large majority of the roster.

Synergies

It’s no surprise Black Canary works well with other evading characters, like her Birds of Prey friend Batgirl. Her best allies will dodge enemy attacks and reap the benefits of their evasive maneuvers.

Countered By

Can’t miss characters make it hard for Black Canary and her team to dodge attacks and profit. Can’t miss Energy characters like Steppenwolf can wreak havoc on Black Canary and her allies.

Notes

Black Canary can increase any team’s survivability thanks to her ability to spread Evasion Ups to characters that would otherwise have no way of obtaining them. When paired with evading allies, she becomes even more lethal, attacking the enemy with a move that can stun them and weaken their strength. Her large health pool means she can handle hits when they get past her evasions, and her passive ability to gain meter when allies are hurt and to counterattack when evading are a bit reliant on random luck, but when the stars align it can devastate the enemy’s battle plan!
