Supergirl’s biggest utility comes from her 1st upgrade, giving every enemy heal immunity and crit chance downs. This makes her a very hard counter to pesky revive teams and anyone who relies on healing to sustain their momentum or cheat death. Her other upgrades are lackluster in comparison, making her more than efficient at L1.

Synergies

Supergirl can provide immunities in spades, which in turn helps characters like Doctor Fate and Silver Banshee get some extra damage in. Her ability to give allies a buff on their turn also makes her great friends with Star Sapphire who can keep Supergirl in the fight with some nice healing.

Countered By

Supergirl weakens the enemy’s critical damage, but she still takes extra damage from Mystic characters who can make quick work of her. Once Supergirl falls, her passives fall off too — opening the team up to hard and heavy hits. Supergirl’s attacks can miss, making her susceptible to evade teams.

Notes

Supergirl is a speedy character that can apply immunities on the enemy that can certainly change the tide of battle. She’s particularly useful against teams that utilize characters who come back from the dead or that rely heavily on healing. She also helps glass cannons survive critical attacks, allowing them to dish out more damage of their own. Don’t expect her to deal much damage herself though — Supergirl is weak when it comes to damage, but wonderful when it comes to pure utility.
