on

DC Worlds Collide, the turn-based DC multiverse mobile RPG, just launched on July 8, and fans are already deep into rerolling, summoning, and building teams. But here’s the problem:

You’ve only got so many resources… and a LOT of shiny characters.

So who’s actually worth summoning? Who’s overrated? And which free or low-rarity units punch way above their weight?

This guide ranks the best launch characters in DC Worlds Collide—from SSR must-haves to underrated support picks—for PvE, PvP, and everything in between.

πŸ₯‡ S-Tier Launch Characters – Must-Summon Picks

These characters are game-changers. If you pull one early, lock them into your core team.

πŸ’ͺ Wonder Woman (SSR – Mighty – DPS)

  • Free after 40 summons, but even early duplicates are powerful.

  • Top-tier AoE damage, bonus shields, and built-in survivability.

  • Excels in PvE and PvP. Almost every meta team includes her.

Best Launch Characters Ranked in DC Worlds Collide
🧠 Lex Luthor (SSR – Tactical – Tank/Support)

  • Shield generator, turn booster, and tank in one.

  • Core of many PvP sustain comps and even useful in long boss fights.

  • His utility makes him valuable even at 1-star.

πŸ§™‍♀️ Zatanna (Epic – Tactical – Support)

  • AoE healing + armor reduction = top-tier support.

  • F2P players love her because she synergizes with almost any damage dealer.

  • Feels like an SSR in the early game.

🏹 Green Arrow (SSR – Agile – DPS)

  • Crit-focused single-target nuker.

  • Ideal for PvP assassin comps and Convergence bosses.

  • Combines well with Flash or Deathstroke for burst-heavy teams.

☠️ Sinestro (SSR – Tactical – DPS/Debuffer)

  • Deals heavy damage over time and debuffs enemies.

  • Not flashy, but excels in PvE progression and longer fights.

  • Great with Raven, Poison Ivy, or Grodd in a debuff-heavy squad.

πŸ₯ˆ A-Tier Characters – Great With the Right Team

Solid picks that need specific synergy to truly shine.

⚔️ Deathstroke (SSR – Agile – DPS)

  • Speed-based assassin who thrives in PvP.

  • When paired with energy generators like Two-Face or Cyborg, becomes deadly.

  • Can fall off in PvE if unprotected.

⚡ Flash (SSR – Agile – DPS)

  • Blisteringly fast, great for energy cycling teams.

  • Needs support like Kid Flash or Cyborg to stay efficient.

  • Not a plug-and-play carry, but devastating with setup.

πŸ‘‘ Raven (Epic – Tactical – Support/Debuffer)

  • Strong controller and debuff amplifier.

  • Works beautifully with Sinestro, Poison Ivy, or Hal Jordan.

  • Underrated support in current tier lists.

❄️ Mr. Freeze (Epic – Tactical – Tank/Control)

  • Freeze synergy, reliable control.

  • Amazing for early PvE waves and team-based crowd control.

  • Not a late-game tank, but fantastic starter unit.

πŸ’€ Sleeper Hits – Don’t Overlook These

These units might not get the spotlight, but they’re secret MVPs for many team comps.

πŸƒ Two-Face (Epic – Mighty – Support)

  • Energy battery + bleed status = excellent utility.

  • Great in high-speed PvP teams with Flash or Deathstroke.

  • Flexible support that scales surprisingly well.

πŸŒ€ Kid Flash (Epic – Agile – Support)

  • Free unit from events—and absolutely worth building.

  • Boosts speed and energy, making him key in ultimate-spam comps.

  • Pairs perfectly with Wonder Woman or Green Arrow.

πŸ”‡ Black Canary (Epic – Tactical – Control)

  • Turn meter reduction and silence.

  • Ideal in debuff-heavy control teams or as a secondary support.

  • Cheap, reliable, and effective in most modes.

⚠️ Overhyped or Niche SSRs (Pull With Caution)

Not every SSR is worth building immediately…

❌ Superman (SSR – Mighty – Tank)

  • High stats and iconic flair, but currently underperforms in meta teams.

  • Lacks the control or shielding of Lex Luthor and Mr. Freeze.

  • Needs specific setups or high investment to feel impactful.

❌ Captain Cold (Epic – Tactical – Support)

  • Theme-wise cool (pun intended), but freeze uptime is unreliable.

  • Generally outshined by Mr. Freeze or Canary in control teams.

❌ Cyborg (Epic – Agile – Support)

  • Only excels in energy-centric builds.

  • Mediocre outside specific team structures like Deathstroke or Flash squads.

πŸ”„ Early Game Pull Strategy

Not sure how to spend your gems or summon tickets?

Prioritize Pulling For:

  1. Wonder Woman (Free after 40 draws)

  2. Lex Luthor or Green Arrow

  3. Zatanna or Raven (Epic supports that carry hard)

  4. Energy Combo Units like Kid Flash, Two-Face, or Flash

πŸ’‘ Tip: Use the “Featured Banner” if it rotates in your favor (e.g., Wonder Woman + Lex combo).
