Robin	Mythic	• Quick attacker that deals subpar physical damage of only 220% ATK power. • If his critical hit is successful, he additionally releases a shockwave, dealing 160% damage to all enemies. • Highly dependent on critical hit rate buffs, which is why he’s going to be effective only in synergy with Batgirl.

D-Tier Characters

Characters	Rarity	Features
Captain Cold	Legendary	• Deals basic 45% physical damage to random targets and has a small chance to inflict Frostbite for 10 seconds. • When he receives melee damage, he automatically retreats, which isn’t a winning strategy.
Catwoman	Legendary	• Fast but weak attacker that can be obtained relatively early, often as a reward from the 7-day login bonus. • Extremely fragile to both targeted and AoE damage.
Bane	Mythic	• Tanky unit that does very little to boost his allies’ defense. • His defense gains a boost only if his HP drops below 60%.
The Penguin	Mythic	• Offensive unit that doesn’t fight on his own but summons mechanical penguins that deal only 200% damage to random enemies. • Just like Captain Cold, when Penguin is attacked with a melee weapon, he automatically backs away.
Deadshot	Mythic	• Highly specialized DPS unit that focuses all his damage on a single target, which could be good against bosses. • However, Deadshot is heavily reliant on team synergies, where he performs well only alongside Harley Quinn and Joker.
Black Canary	Mythic	• Similarly to Catwoman, this unit has fast but weak attacks, inflicting Silence effect on enemies. • At the start of each battle, her physical defense is increased by 100%, although it doesn’t help much.
Stargirl	Mythic	• Wields the Cosmic Staff weapon, which grants her energy manipulation, flight, and enhanced combat abilities. • Just like Deadshot, this unit relies heavily on team synergies, so don’t expect her to do much without the support of Superman and Wonder Woman.

The rest of the units fall under lower rarities and tiers, which aren’t worth your time or effort.
