Season 2 – Mid-Season Update – Available August 27

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Season 2, Episode 4: Winter will be available on August 27, and today we’ll be jumping in to give you a glimpse of what’s to come as you continue the fight against Brainiac and his forces.

Coming in Episode 4: Winter will be a host of new gear, new Incursions and a new variation of the Brainiac boss fight.

Headlining the new additions to the armoury, the Squad are continuing to delve into the cold depths of cool tech and have gotten their hands on Captain Cold’s Infamous cyclotron powered arsenal. To add to that, a plethora of new Notorious gear will be at hand to help put your enemies on ice. If things start getting too cold for you, you can always turn up the heat with some new additions from Heat Wave’s toolbox.

Of course, to get all of these new toys, you’ll need to head out into the Elseworlds. Brainiac has setup shop in new locations in some chillingly familiar places. You’ll be heading over to the icy ruins of the Hob’s Bay docks, the frozen remains of the Zeppo Sky Tours building and the carcass of a destroyed Terraformer.

Captain Cold Infamy Set

While Killer Frost’s Infamy set was about the dynamic switching between hot and cold, Captain Cold is taking us to absolute zero with his array of bone-chilling weapons!

Born to an abusive father, Leonard Snart had to use his brilliant mind to create a better life for himself… through somewhat unsavoury means. But when the Flash finally caught him red-handed, he devised a way to slow down the Scarlet Speedster, and thus Captain Cold, the man who mastered absolute zero was born!

Both his knowledge of sub-zero tech and his flexible morals are present in the items available in his Infamy Set. With a variety of ways to boost the power of your Deep Freeze Afflictions, it makes for a devastating support build, freezing enemies in place and allowing you and your team to quickly shatter them. Plus, when you build up stacks of ‘Frost Coat’ you’ll be able to shrug off even the toughest of blows, making for an ice-cool tank build!

Notorious Items

Heat Wave and Captain Cold may not always see eye to eye, but boy do their weapons team up to make a powerful combo. Heat Wave’s Scorcher sets enemies on fire when countering them with the Regular Fire, but it’s the Alt Fire that really sets this synergy ablaze. It fires a scorching bullet that does a blistering 1500% increased damage to Frozen enemies and Burns them. Once they’ve broken the ice, this team up will get along like a house on fire.

With Icicle’s Piercing Shards, there’s a cold going around and it’s downright infectious. This weapon shoots piercing shards that have a chance to Freeze enemies, and damage done with the firearm also damages other Frozen enemies nearby.

With Trickster’s Frozen Hand you’ll be sure to have the upper… well, you get where this is going. But by building up enough stacks of ‘Frozen Finger’ you will unleash ‘Frozen Hand’, and with this hand you can beat the crap out of Brainiac’s army, thanks to massively boosted melee damage!

Builds

Shark’s Freezing Frenzy

It’s feeding time for King Shark, and a whole army of Coluan Popsicles sounds like just the treat our fishy friend’s been craving. With our Shark’s Freezing Frenzy build, you will play a close-range, tanky support role, but Freezing enemies in place with your array of ice weapons. By Freezing enemies with Icicle’s Piercing Shards you will build up stacks of Frost Coat on your Tier 2 Captain Cold Infamy Set, turning you into one seriously survivable shark. Then the item that ties this sub-zero melee build all together is Trickster’s Frozen Hand, you will be dealing HUGE amounts of melee damage whilst controlling Brainiac’s hordes and remaining super survivable.

Flaming Clown

Setting people on fire… freezing people solid… both so much fun, it’s impossible for The Joker to pick. But thanks to the Villain Synergy between Captain Cold’s Infamy Set and Heat Wave’s Scorcher named ‘A Frosty Reception‘, our vaudevillian villain can experience the delight of both. The devastating effect of this synergy is that when you Burn a Freezing enemy, their health is instantly reduced to 50%. The Joker is the obvious candidate for this build, with his myriad ways to set things on fire, and Mirror Master’s Frozen Mirror is the perfect way to Freeze enemies. The power of this ability becomes clear as you climb up the Mastery Levels and you need to deal some serious damage.

Cryogel Outfits

Stay frosty with the new Cryogel Outfits coming to the Store in Episode 4. This family of Outfits reimagines Harley, Boomer, Shark and Mrs. Freeze under the effects of Freeze’s Cryogel and will have you flying through the Elseworlds looking super cool.
