Rage Power Revisions[]
With Game Update 46, we have made improvements to Rage DPS. Rage's advanced mechanic is still based on performing Rage Combos. However, the Rage Combos will now deal more damage when performed after hitting an enemy with a Rage Combo and being put in a Savage state. See the public notes below for a specific list of changes.
New Legends PvE Event – Blüdhaven[]
The newest installment of Legends PvE is now available! Create unique teams of iconic DC Legends characters and face the toxic Chemo in the mutant wasteland of Blüdhaven!
Players will be rewarded with Marks of Legend for defeating all the bosses and completing the instance – each boss will drop at least one Mark. Players will also be able to earn feat points by completing the achievements in the event itself. Look for Blüdhaven in the Legends PvE section of the Feats menu.
To queue for the event, just look for Legends: Blüdhaven under the Events tab in the On Duty menu!
