In our most recent 9.3 patch update, we included a series of changes to tags. In DC Worlds Collide, we want the tags on both sides of a fight to be better surfaced and explained so that players can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of enemies and compose teams to answer them.
Tags are intended to help in buildcrafting, giving easy to understand identifiers that help you build your perfect team. For instance, to take advantage of Two Face’s bleed synergy, you could seek out more characters with the bleed tag. Or maybe you want to build into Batman’s single target damage synergy, or build out the Justice League, or a Legion of Doom team. There are a multitude of tags at your disposal, so we are making the following changes to help streamline this system.
Affiliations
In addition to gameplay specific tags, DC Worlds Collide characters fit into various Affiliations, such as Heroes, Villains and so on. In many parts of the game, you might be asked to build teams based around these Affiliation tags. To help streamline this, we have made changes to the Character profile page to surface these Affiliations more clearly, and added characters into specific Affiliations as well.
Legion of Doom
- Bizarro
- Captain Cold
- Scarecrow
- Deathstroke
Central City
- Captain Boomerang

Green Lantern

Team Synergy Changes
As a result of some of these tag changes, some characters will be able to unlock Team Synergies they could not have before (or vice versa):
Area of Effect
We have made a change to the Area of Effect (AoE) tag to better define how it operates. Area of Effect only applies to characters who have abilities that are guaranteed to hit all enemies at once.
- Green Lantern – Hal Jordan will no longer work to unlock the AoE Team Synergy.
- The Flash will now work to unlock the AoE Team Synergy.
Single-target Burst
- Green Lantern – John will now work to unlock the Single-Target Burst Team Synergy
Burn
- Bizarro will now work to unlock the Burn Team Synergy
Block
- Vixen will now work to unlock the Block Team Synergy
Frostbite
- Superman and Green Arrow will each now work to unlock the Frostbite Team Synergy.
