[NEW UPDATE] Cross-Faction Grouping and More!

DC Universe Online · published 13 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

CROSS-FACTION GROUPS HAVE ARRIVED!

Cross-Faction Groups are finally here! Now Heroes and Villains can form pre-made groups together and run content as a team. This means players from opposite moral alignments can now join forces to tackle alerts, duos, and raids without needing to be in the same faction. Grouping is done through the existing Social menu. Once formed, mixed-faction groups can enter and complete most PvE content together, expanding team options and making it easier to play with friends regardless of faction.

Note: Cross-Faction Grouping will not be available in the following faction-specific open world zones:

  • Stryker's Island: Lockdown

  • Central City (DLC2)

  • Central City (DLC7)

  • Flash Museum (DLC7)

  • Themyscira: Command Post (DLC10)

Unleash the power of the Boy of Steel! The Legendary Superboy ally is here and can now be earned by completing Patrol 3 in Campaign 2025. Bring Kryptonian strength, high-impact abilities, and loyal backup to your ally roster and turn the tide of battle.

Heat Vision Sweep (Signature Ability)

Superboy takes to the skies and unleashes a sweeping cone of heat vision, spinning twice before slamming down and releasing a burst of explosive energy.

  • Burns enemies, leaving them vulnerable to burning effects.

 

Rebel Rage (Passive Ability)

Superboy thrives in the chaos of battle. Every time your health changes three times, you gain stacking buffs to Might, Defense, and Precision, up to a set maximum.

Krypto's Aid (Passive Ability)

Activate a Supply Drop trinket and Superboy calls in his loyal companion, Krypto.

  • Grants a Defense buff upon arrival.

  • Krypto attacks enemies, weakens their attacks with his superbark, and will attempt to rally a fallen ally.

Ally System Update

With this update, we’ve reworked how combat allies function to make them feel like true companions on the battlefield. Previously, combat allies would appear, use their Active Ability, and vanish. Now, they’ll stick around longer, fight by your side, and use their Signature Ability up to twice per summon! This change applies to a wide selection of existing allies, with more updates coming in a future batch. 

Active Abilities are NOW called Signature Abilities since Allies will now do MORE THAN ONE attack.  They only used to do ONE attack before - their ACTIVE attack.

First Wave of Updated Allies:

  • Batman

  • Black Adam

  • Blue Beetle

  • Calculator Bot

  • Cyborg

  • Future Lex Luthor

  • General Zod

  • House of Legends Bot

  • John Constantine

  • John Stewart

  • Krypto

  • Nubia

  • Oracle Bot

  • Professor Zoom

  • Shazam

  • Static

  • Superman

  • Teekl

  • The Flash

  • Wonder Woman

Epic-Tier Allies, Upgraded

Cyborg, The Flash, and Professor Zoom have become Legendary Tier Allies, making them more powerful and more rewarding to invest in:

  • Each now features a second Support Ability

  • Flash and Zoom have had their existing Support Abilities updated for added utility

  • New Affinities added for higher scaling

  • Upgrade costs for Epic and Rare allies now match those of Legendary-tier allies
