DC Universe Online is about to experience a healthy dose of girl power. None other than the Birds of Prey are dropping in on April 16. This latest episode is going to be available for a limited time to players who are at least level 15. This means that whether you're a veteran or a newcomer to the game, you get to try out this new content.
DC fans are more than familiar with this team, and if you're not, the gist is that this is an all female squad. While not everyone has superpowers in the traditional sense, they make up for it with other exceptional abilities.
For this new episode, the story focuses on the early days of the team, where the members know each other but haven't yet become the team they are destined to be. It appears that there is a need for a new team as Lex Luthor has blown up LexCorp Tower. For some reason, this has resulted in the people of Metropolis going berserk.
Regardless of whether the player is a Super Hero or Super Villain, they are bound to meet this new team. The Birds of Prey are composed of:
- Black Canary
- One of Oracle's oldest friend, Black Canary makes use of her exceptional skills in martial arts combined with the Canary Cry. The Canary Cry is an ability that lets her damage enemies or render them unconscious.
- Harley Quinn
- Despite being able to step out of Joker's influence, Harley Quinn remains a loose cannon. Despite not really having any superpowers, she can still be a dangerous threat especially with her giant mallet.
- Huntress
- Previously bent on revenge, Huntress has since become one of the most important members of the team. Her fighting style is reminiscent of her time going against the mob, but has since been focusing on her adaptability.
- Poison Ivy
- Poison Ivy continues to be on the fence when it comes to being a hero or villain. Her methods may be cruel, but her goal has always been to save the planet. Her abilities help the team enhance their battle potential.
DC Universe Online is a free-to-play action combat massive multiplayer online game released back in January 2011. It is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.
