If you want to keep scaling in DC: Dark Legion, you can't ignore gear. It’s one of the biggest power boosts available to your heroes, and once you hit the mid to late game, gearing the right way can make or break your squad.
Gear is one of the biggest late-game power spikes in the entire system. Whether you’re pushing Checkmate PvP, climbing Campaign stages, or prepping for Supreme Commander, your gear setup matters more than most players realize.
But if you enhance blindly or waste Mirror Cells on the wrong piece? You could lose out on major stats, rare resources, or even faction bonuses.
This guide covers it all: how to get hero gear, what makes Mythic gear special, and how enhancement and transmutation actually work.
Let’s start with why gear plays such a crucial role in DC: Dark Legion.
Gear in DC: Dark Legion isn’t just about flat stats, it influences your champions' effectiveness across PvE, PvP, and competitive events like Supreme Commander. Once your champions hit max level (currently 580), gear becomes the main factor in power scaling.
Each gear piece offers different bonuses depending on the slot and class. On top of that, transmuted gear with faction synergy can give major passive boosts.
If you’re not gearing smart, you’re leaving a lot of potential on the table.
You can start crafting gear through the Armory fairly early, using a resource called Alloy. As you progress, Alloy becomes a key material alongside Chips for gear creation and upgrades.
The system encourages repetition: craft gear, deconstruct unwanted pieces, and use the materials to level up your Armory. As you do, you unlock access to higher rarity gear, including Epic, Legendary, and eventually Mythic.
Gear ranges include:
Getting your first level 500 Mythic piece opens up a new system entirely: transmutation.
Once you own or craft a level 500 Mythic gear piece, you unlock the ability to transmute gear. This lets you customize stats and unlock powerful faction-based bonuses, but it’s resource-intensive.
Transmutation uses Mirror Cells, which can be earned by:
Each transmutation level requires more Mirror Cells to unlock, and higher-level rolls need a second rare currency called Intertrons (used to lock preferred stats).
It’s costly and grind-heavy so save it for gear with tag synergy.
Some Mythic gear comes with a faction tag like Justice League Dark, Superman Family, or Legion of Doom. If you equip that gear on a hero from the same faction, you’ll get a +20% stat bonus on top of the base stats.
You can still equip that gear to any hero, but matching the faction gives a significant edge. Prioritize transmuting these tag-synergy pieces first, especially if they’re on core heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, or Constantine.
Transmutation lets you re-roll gear attributes, but once you start, that gear can’t be sold or reset. It’s permanent, so plan ahead. A few key tips:
Outside of transmutation, you’ll enhance gear normally by feeding it Alloy and other materials. Gear XP scales with rarity, so don’t waste resources upgrading lower-tier items you’ll outgrow soon.
Enhancing gives flat boosts, but doesn’t unlock special effects. Save heavy investments for gear that’s:
Mythic gear starts at level 500 and sits at the top of the power curve. It takes significant resources to acquire and upgrade, but it’s where your late-game strength will come from.
With proper enhancement and transmutation, Mythic gear provides:
Just be aware: pushing through multiple transmute levels can cost thousands of Mirror Cells, and Intertrons are even rarer. Use these tools wisely.
