Legendary Order

4-3/1-2/5

Medphyll is great when he has a two-turn duration Damage Immunity to hand out, and his 3rd upgrade allows him to apply 10 Strength Downs at once — effectively making strength based enemies hit like a wet noodle. His 1st upgrade grants shields, making him even more effective in an assist-based team. Neither his 2nd nor 5th upgrade are necessary.

Synergies

Medphyll helps enable slower allies, giving them turn meter and shields to help them weather the battle safely. He can work well with characters like Penguin and Poison Ivy who can benefit from his shields and buffs.

Countered By

Those who are able to purge Medphyll’s buffs or ignore shields can tear through his team’s defenses. Characters like Wonder Girl and Power Girl can bring an end to Medphyll – unless, of course, he puts 10 strength downs on them first!

Notes

Medphyll is a phenomenal leader for PvE content, where battles last long and allies can have full time to set up and take advantage of his shields and meter boosts.
