Legendary Order

4-1-5-2-3

Jessica Cruz’s best legendary upgrades are her 4th and 1st, enabling her to start off with a healthy shield and helping her dish out more damage as her allies fall. The rest are more situational; death immunity and increased damage are always nice The increased affinity defense buffs from her 3rd upgrade are somewhat negligible in value, and could even be a liability with buff purging characters like Wonder Girl on the field.

Synergies

Jessica Cruz likes it when her allies fall, so it’s always nice when they can come back to die again. Pairing her with revivers can be effective, especially unlikely Lantern allies Atrocitus and White Lantern Sinestro who can ressurect anyone — including Jessica herself!

Atrocitus, Sinestro – White Lantern, Swamp Thing, Harley Quinn Mad Jester, Solomon  Grundy, Penguin

Countered By

Made to counter Deathstroke, Red Hood also is Jessica Cruz’s largest counter, applying buff immunity on death. This completely neuters Jessica Cruz, rendering her effectively useless. Heal immunity can also stop Jessica’s allies from coming back for more, so beware characters like Swamp Thing and Supergirl.

Notes

Jessica Cruz is an interesting character that can help win fights that would otherwise appear unwinnable, thanks to her powering up as everyone around her begins to fall. She can hold her weight in both the PvP and PvE, and she makes for a great transition character. Bringing her to Gear 11 will allow you to get the most use out of your Gear 10 characters as well; if they die, she becomes stronger, making it less likely to be a total loss.
