DCUO: Reign Style

Image
  Supergirl, Alyssa and Wonder Woman in Zol-El's Lab Aftershock was released for Shadow of Argo on July 28, 2026. The big reveal was the first in-game appearance of the Supergirl villain, Reign. So naturally, I have to breakdown the styles and go over the possibility of what can become player elements. Reign As with most new characters, Reign is very well detailed. She has good contrast and realistic texture maps on her armor. She animates well without any parts clipping or breaking. This is generally a good sign that the style can be applied to player characters. Head Area Looking at the head, face and hair styles... The tiara rests a little high up on the forehead, which would likely cause it to clip most hairstyles in the game unless part of the forehead is included with the tiara as a mask. The tiara could also be part of the hair (as seen on Carol Ferris and Fatality styles), but that would disqualify it from being colored by materials. The tattoo on her right eye could be don...

DCUO: Atlantean Warsuit Showcase

Image
The Atlantean Warsuit from the first DCUO Summer Event is really the chroma before chromas as it features an animated special effect in one of the color slots. While it is a water style, I have always used it on my ice character, Kryo Jennyx (Jenny Xue) because the deep, saturated blue with the other slots set to white looks icy. It's also a similar palette to the comicbook character, Ice (Tora Olafsdotter). Here is the chest and legs of the classic set matches with some newer parts colored with the Surging Material (water): Kryo Jennyx and Armories Battle Stance Dual Katanas Kryo Cavern Security Displays Kryo Cavern

DCUO: Seasonal Open World Buffs

Image
Crossbow (rifle style) Powered by Demon Fang I have a lot of alts and when it comes time for a seasonal event, I need to get through the quests as fast as possible. While most of the seasonal tasks are fairly optimized today, the time still stacks up for altaholics. The outside can be sped up considerably if you know how some powers work as they award different stats as well as how attacks hit. For all seasonal open world quests except Homecoming and Anniversary (because they're newer and use more of an episode template), NPCs have 5 health,but all of your attacks are reduced to 1 damage. So it takes 5 strikes or something that gives bonus on top of the 1 damage. Here are some tips from moderate to best... Rapid Fire The most basic, common sense is to choose weapons and powers that hit very fast. For weapons, dual pistol or handblasters are great. If this is not your character's weapon set, it doesn't matter. You don't need a good one because all damage is reduced to 1 ...

DCUO: Copying Settings

Image
Alyssa's Batmobile It seems like a little thing, but it is a bit of a hassle to have to sync all of your DCUO settings to a new computer. But you can easily copy them over by following these steps: 1) First, go to the following location with your old system or the one that already has DCUO installed:  C:\Users\$USERNAME\Documents\DCUO Save Data\ 2) Display details and copy the directory with the most recent date (it will be a long string of capital letters and numbers) to a flash drive. This contains overall settings, character settings and you chat window layout/channels. It will have all of your accounts setup for the launcher. You won't need to cancel through all of the tooltips for new users. Chat will have whatever size, channels and other settings you had before. All of your ignore settings will be intact. 3) Then open this folder and select all contents. Atrocitus and Dex-starr 4) Make sure DCUO is NOT running on the new computer. Copy all of that into the most recent da...

DCUO: All the King's Mermen

Image
Note: This is an old post, but the instance and its feats haven't been changed. Fortunately NPC are much easier to kill in the current state of the game, so there is some time savings. Original Date: February 25, 2019 Location: Justice Girls league site This feat entails taking out the following adds before killing off Corum Rath: 13 Flames of Sagittarrius 32 Brine 23 Drift / Silent School 5 Barnicle Golems 4 Morgwar While the list is daunting, it's really not as bad as it seems because many of the counts will come automatically while trying to get others and they come out during specific points in the battle. The Team Because this is a long winded feat (be sure to carve out about 2 hours to form, prep & execute), endurance is far more important than damage. You don't want to get 70% done with the counters and then wipe only to have to do it over! We had 2 tanks to separate the various add types & distract the boss. 2 healers to be completely safe. With 2 healers th...

DCUO: The Silent School Checklist

Image
Note: This is an old post, but the instance and its feats haven't been changed. Fortunately NPC are much easier to kill in the current state of the game, so there is some time savings. Original Date: November 23, 2018 Location: Justice Girls league site Silent School is an RNG-based alert with a lot of feats. I'm pretty sure every run we do will be some kind of feat run. So it's good to have this checklist handy and be aware of which ones you need before we go in. Pisces Be My Chum - KO statues in chum (pink puke) locate the shark with the red liquid (chum) at the timer, move clockwise as the chum shifts over rotate your self heals & have a lot of defensive abilities slotted in Electric Ave - don't get electricuted by eel statues locate the shark with the chum and be on the shark to the right of it (no traps, perfectly open) at the timer, move clockwise to the shark that had the chum as it will be clear the next round if there's no rush, you can also have 3 play...

DCUO: Don't Fight the Power

Image
Batman in JLA Watchtower NOTE: This is an old post, but the feat still exists and the way to get it remains the same, although the current state of the game makes this easier than it's original date. Original Date: October 15, 2015 Location: Justice Girls league site This a feat for both the regular Watchtower alert and the LPVE version. The regular version of this is a non-issue. This guide concentrates on the LPvE version where you're not using your powered up character. You have 4 rounds to defeat Eradicator before he enrages. So you must burn roughly 25% per round. Note that Round #2 is shorter than the other three. So don't get too much into a rhythm or you might kill a drone by mistake. Look for the drones to release much earlier. All 4 players should use the legend they output the most damage with. Don't worry about teamups and checklists for this run. I recommend going with a legend that has a 35% finisher like Wonder Woman's Coup de Grace. This should be sp...
