DCUO: Umbral Green Aura

Character Showcase I actually decided to and completed my first DCUO Recruitment event. As outlined in my analysis of Ultimate Recruitment 2026 , I felt most of the items were not worth it for active players, but there was one unique variant item that doesn't drop anywhere else... the Umbral Green Aura , a variant of Red Umbral.
