Looking to break the meta without relying on top-tier legendaries? These 5 underused hero combos offer surprising synergy, devastating ultimates, and control-heavy setups that can help you dominate both PvE and PvP in DC Worlds Collide.
⭐ Why Synergy Matters
While most players focus on raw hero ratings or tier list placements, synergy between abilities, tags, and energy usage can make even mid-tier characters outperform legendaries in the right setup. Pairing heroes with matching turn speeds, complementary crowd control, or tag-based stat boosts unlocks massive team value.
🔥 Top 5 Underrated Synergy Combos
1. Zatanna + Constantine
Role: AoE Burn + Energy Battery (PvE & Events)
-
Why It Works: Zatanna’s passive deals Burn DoT (damage over time), while Constantine can transfer debuffs and regenerate energy for the entire team. They both scale well into late game and wreck bosses in sustained fights.
-
Bonus Synergy: Add Black Adam for a burn-based AoE wipe.
🔧 Tag Tip: Equip Vitality Gear on Zatanna and Tactical Speed on Constantine for better ult cycling.
2. Riddler + Kid Flash
Role: Energy Denial & Speed Manipulation (PvP Specialist)
-
Why It Works: Kid Flash increases your team’s speed and ultimate uptime, while Riddler steals energy, slows opponents, and has a deceptively strong passive. Together, they deny ultimates while giving yours priority.
-
Perfect Counter to: Superman-led slow teams or stall builds.
🔧 Gear Synergy: Riddler benefits from Control Effect duration boosts; Kid Flash needs Speed gear to stay ahead in turn order.
3. Lex Luthor + Cheetah
Role: Tag Buff Exploiter + Critical Damage Boost (Mid-to-Late Game)
-
Why It Works: Lex provides Tactical tag bonuses and defense break, while Cheetah is an underrated single-target crit machine who shreds debuffed enemies. Cheetah also gets bonus effects when used with Tactical allies.
-
Ideal For: League raids and single-target boss content.
💡 Hidden Bonus: Cheetah’s crit multipliers scale with Lex’s debuff uptime. You can 2-turn some bosses with this pair!
4. Harley Quinn (Clown Princess) + Joker
Role: Chaos Control + Charm Loop (PvP)
-
Why It Works: Harley can charm enemy attackers, while Joker causes confusion and disrupts enemy formations. Together, they break synergy on enemy teams, buying your team time and disrupting strategies.
-
High Risk/Reward: Situational but devastating when timed right.
🎭 Pro PvP Tip: Run these two with support from Riddler or Poison Ivy for a full control team.
5. Black Canary + Batman (BvS)
Role: Stagger + Counter Disrupt (Hybrid PvP/PvE)
-
Why It Works: Canary provides interrupts and AoE silence, while Batman BvS gets massive turn meter when enemies are CC’d. This duo punishes teams that rely on ult chains or glass cannon openers.
-
Good vs: Agile comps and glass DPS teams.
🦇 Gear Choice: Equip Batman with Damage + Crit gear; Canary with Speed + Control Duration.

✅ Final Thoughts
