After her beloved father was tragically killed in a battle with the forces of darkness, she seeks to give his restless soul peace in the afterlife. Say the right magic words, and Zatanna can do nearly anything!

Legendary Order

2-1-3-5-4

Zatanna’s best upgrades are her true heal and purging capabilities — especially considering they will always purge, even if her moves miss due to Evasions or Hit Chance downs. Her 3rd upgrade giving a stack of Intelligence Downs can help make a Special Damage team hit considerably harder as well.

Synergies

Zatanna works well with characters who deal special damage like Jessica Cruz as well as ones who enjoy Intelligence Downs on their enemies, namely Harley Quinn – Mad Jester.

Countered By

Zatanna is slow and squishy, so any decent Physical character will be able to handle her fairly easily. Characters like Batman – Caped Crusader counter her effectively.

Notes

Zatanna is one of the first characters players obtain when playing DC Legends, and she’s great for those starting off. Other characters along the way can do similar things, and some perform her job better. With that said, investing in Zatanna is never a bad idea — she remains powerful, even in later stages of the game.
