King Shark

Right now King Shark is by far the best character in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. With the most health out of everyone, he is a walking tank, able to survive most encounters and take a lot of sustained damage. Additionally, his mobility is by far the easiest to use and the best at getting you around from building to building or across the city. He can dash three times in the air, leap forward, and leap straight up in the air extremely high, allowing him to cover all plains of combat – vertical and horizontal.

King Shark’s ground pound ability is also incredible, as it can wipe out entire hordes of grunts and quickly get you back to the ground when needed. His capability to pump out damage is enhanced by his fantastic weapon selection, consisting of miniguns, assault rifles, and shotguns. This covers all ranges and gives you a ton of flexibility in combat, being able to jump around at close range with a minigun or shotgun and King Shark’s dynamic mobility, while being able to tackle snipers with an assault rifle. Simply put, King Shark is the top choice and he is a ton of fun to use too.

Deadshot

Playing as Deadshot is an enjoyable time. He has great movement capabilities and he can fly around for ages thanks to his jetpack and how fast it recharges. His rocket-based abilities also ensure that you can do a bunch of damage in targeted areas. The fact you can use pistols and sniper rifles also gives you good coverage at a medium range, which is where he is best suited.

His unlockable bonuses and buffs also allow you to rack up kills incredibly fast, support your team, and boost your combo meter. He isn’t as effective at dealing with sustained damage on large targets, but, he is great at picking enemies off. A solid support option for any co-op team.

Captain Boomerang

Boomerang comes in third place right now as although he is a speed demon, able to dart around and deal damage to a variety of enemies, he is a little tricky to use. His boomerang dash takes a while to travel to its destination, so his teleport isn’t instant and his basic abilities aren’t able to deal a ton of damage. As such, compared to the other characters which can completely decimate enemies in an area, Boomerang isn’t as effective in large combat encounters.

However, he does have access to a solid selection of weapons that play into his fast-paced gameplay, like shotguns and snipers which allow you to offload bullets on a target and then get out of the action to recover. Additionally, his health is rather low which can be a problem during fights.

Harley Quinn

Unfortunately, Harley just isn’t quite clicking with the fast-paced, frantic, and vertical combat that Suicide Squad is centered around. While she can get around with her grapple, swinging and launching from buildings, her momentum is far slower than the rest of the squad. There is potential to really master the swings and flow of her movement but right now it is the least effective way to move from building to building.

Additionally, her abilities aren’t the strongest in their current form and without being able to test out endgame build crafting. They cause a whole cavalcade of explosions but compared to the insane area-of-effect damage other characters can do, Harley isn’t quite up to standard. She also has guns mostly focused on close-range fighting, rather than anything at a distance. Pistols can hit from afar, but miniguns and SMGs aren’t that great beyond a medium range. Therefore she is better at a close range in fights although she doesn’t have the abilities or power to decimate enemies at this range.
