If you’re playing as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and want to get the most out of her, this best build will unleash her full potential.
Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League pits the titular ragtag team of villains against DC Comics’ iconic roster of superheroes. The game gives you a choice to play as Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, or Deadshot.
Each character brings a different playstyle to the game, with their own strengths and weaknesses, and it’s important to master your chosen character’s build if you want them to reach their full potential.
So if you’re playing as Harley Quinn – the infamous sidekick and love interest of Joker – here is the best build you can create in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Best Harley Quinn build
Like all other characters in the game, Harley Quinn has three unique playstyles in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League; Detonator, Run-N-Gunner, and Slugger. Thanks to her acrobatic skill and fast-paced melee attacks, the talents in each tree will come in handy for anyone looking for an agile build.
For the best Harley Quinn build, we’ll be emphasizing grenades in the Detonator playstyle with a little focus on Grapple Attack talents with pistols. To obtain all the available talents, you will need to reach Level 30 with the character.
Playstyle and Talents
The best strategy to staying alive and dealing damage as Harley is to keep on the move and stay airborne, as she has some talents that enhance her lethality during these states. Some talents also improve her skills with grenades, allowing her to deal out huge explosive damage while remaining agile.
These are the talents we’d recommend grabbing for Harley Quinn, broken down into each tier.
| Tier | Thrills N’ Kills Talents | Meet My Mallet Talents | One Woman Show Talents |
| 1 | Carnevil | Untouchable | Twinkletoes |
| 2 | Bigger Bang | Suicide Strike | On The Hop |
| 3 | Handy Hand Cannons | Arkham Special | What Goes Up |
| 4 | Group Therapy | Performance Art | Elusiveness |
| 5 | Cherry Bomb | Audience Participation | Slidin’ Shrapnel |
| 6 | Bottle Rocket | Three Strikes | Juggler’s Delight |
| 7 | Grenade Parade | Powder Keg | Grandstander |
| 8 | Encore! | Big Swinger | Agent of Chaos |
| 9 | Clown Smackdown | Tightrope Act | Squad Ultimate |
| 10 | The Ballerina | Kiss Kiss Bang Bang | Ultimate Thrillride |
Weapons and Mods
Having the right weapons and mods is also an important part of the build, so here are the best ones to have for Harley Quinn to make an impact on her enemies.
| Item Slot | Weapon |
|---|---|
| Firearm 1 | LX-1C Overture |
| Firearm 2 | Death Rattle |
| Melee | Two-Face Persuader |
| Grenade | BAAANNNG! |
| Shield Mod | Any |
| Traversal Mod | Touchdown! |
| Neck Bomb Mod | Any |
| Lucky Charm | Any |
It’s worth noting some of these items are endgame drops, and therefore you may not be able to grab them right away. However, keeping Harley’s weapon slots with a pistol and an SMG is ideal here. This way you’ll be able to rack up quick kills while also keeping your grenades replenished for massive damage.
You should also try and grab Bane’s Rage Infamy Set from the endgame Incursions, as this will allow you to massively increase your grenade damage as well as your grenade drop rate.
The important thing here is to stay on the move and utilize Harley Quinn’s grenades as much as possible. As long as you’re constantly racking up kills and replenishing your supply of grenades, you’ll be able to stay at the top of the food chain during any combat scenario.
Although there are different ways you can build your character, this is what we found worked best for us after 20 hours of gameplay.
