    New Legends!
    Battle fiendish foes with ancient magic as Shazam in Legends! Members may purchase this item in game for Marks of Legend on a per character basis. The Marketplace version of this item is redeemable for every character on the account, and it is not tradable.

    New Legends PvE Event – Smallville
    The newest installment of Legends PVE is now available! Players can test their skills by creating unique teams of iconic DC Legends characters and face the disaster made by LexCorp in Superman’s hometown of Smallville!

    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 Smallville in the Legends PVE section of the Feats menu.

    To queue for the event, just look for Legends: Smallville under the Events tab in the On Duty menu!

    The following Legends will be restricted from participation due to their appearance in the content: Bizarro, Deathstroke, Green Arrow and Steel.

    Game Update 46
    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.
