Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Physical Sales Seem to Be Off to a Shaky Start
Despite leading other games for the week of its release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League appears to be struggling with physical sales.
What are Talents in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Skills, or as the game terms them, Talents, bring various benefits in three distinct ways of playing a character in the game. After speaking to Hack back in the Hall of Justice, the Talents menu will open up, allowing players to invest hard-earned points to strengthen their chosen character on the battlefield.
With each level players gain for their characters, more tiers of the Talent tree will open up, with some levels having several choices. This will help create a specific style for the character, with varying buffs and benefits up for grabs. Naturally, the more XP you gain, the more you will level up, and subsequently, the more Talents become available.
Best Talent Upgrades in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Harley Quinn
- Leave a Mark (Thrills N’ Kills)
- Self-Care (Thrills N’ Kills)
- Reckless (Thrills N’ Kills)
- Clown Smackdown (Thrills N’ Kills)
- The Ballerina (Thrills N’ Kills)
- Safety First (Meet My Mallet)
- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Meet My Mallet)
- Squad Ultimate (One Woman Show)
- Ultimate Refresher (One Woman Show)
With a focus on enhancing her damage output, the skills above enable Harley to do what she does best while keeping out of harm's way as much as possible. The addition of the bleeding effect provided by Leave a Mark adds to that, while Reckless makes it easier to keep the pressure up with pistol shots. If players start taking damage, the healing and shield regeneration provided by the other skills will definitely help.
Deadshot
- Hollow Point (Tools of the Trade)
- Assault Rifle Specialist (Tools of the Trade)
- I Never Miss (Tools of the Trade)
- Eye of the Sniper (Tools of the Trade)
- Power Through (Locked and Loaded)
- Knuckleduster (Locked and Loaded)
- Squad Ultimate (Fly Like a Bullet)
Need a quick kill? Deadshot's your guy, especially with Talents that focus on Critical Hits and high damage; just make sure you are capable of nailing those shots while in the heat of battle. As for staying alive, Power Through will essentially be a second chance, refilling shields whenever you run out, while enabling the use of more powerful moves through I Never Miss and others to eliminate threats quickly as Deadshot.
Captain Boomerang
- Boomsticks (Shoot ‘Em Up)
- Hater Aid (Shoot ‘Em Up)
- Last Resort (Shoot ‘Em Up)
- Trickster (Shoot ‘Em Up)
- Admiral Boomerang (Boomin’ Boomerangs)
- Hoonin’ It (Speedsterania)
- Squad Ultimate (Speedsterania)
- Speedster’s Ultimate Surprise (Speedsterania)
For Captain Boomerang, the onus is for players to get up close and personal and wreak havoc using the sheer force of shotguns. Enhancing the weapon's damage while providing opportunities to replenish shields is an excellent combo, and giving the villain more speed and distance with traversal skills is a no-brainer. Furthermore, leveraging Squad Ultimate can dramatically increase Captain Boomerang's damage output via takedowns.
King Shark
- Firearm Aptitude (Firepower)
- Unyielding Hunger (Firepower)
- Surf and Turf (Firepower)
- Shark Rage (Firepower)
- Strong Swimmer (Powers of the Ancients)
- Squad Ultimate (Powers of the Ancients)
- Ultimate Shark Strikes (Powers of the Ancients)
- Royal Resurrection (Strength and Dominance)
- Imperial Guard (Strength and Dominance)
- Unchained Power (Strength and Dominance)
The tank is not only good at taking damage, but King Shark is great at dishing it out too. Those who love his Artillery play style will enjoy the buffs and benefits provided by the skills above, with his mastery of heavy weaponry making it easy to deal with crowds. Defensively, these Talents will enable King Shark to stay alive in almost every situation, with Royal Resurrection helping to negate fatal damage entirely.
