The Flash (Barry Allen)

/Supporter

Introduction

The Flash (Barry Allen) is a Mythic character in DC: Dark Legion. The Flash (Barry Allen)'s role is Supporter.

Is The Flash (Barry Allen) good?

This version of the Flash, Barry Allen, can't heal, but Speed Force Sharing gives an ally a second burst of Energy to use their Ultimate again, effectively doubling whatever that Ultimate does, whether it's damage, healing, or crowd control duration. That alone makes him a great support in any faction, and he can also buff a top DPS Champion's ATK or boost Dodge on a damaged ally.

His one real flaw shows up in auto-battle: the AI often uses Speed Force Sharing on whoever has the highest ATK regardless of their current Energy, which can waste it on someone who's already close to full.

Strengths

  • Speed Force Sharing effectively doubles the value of any Ultimate he targets
  • Fits into any squad or faction since every Champion relies on their Ultimate
  • Especially strong in longer fights, like Combat Cycle, where more Ultimates get pushed through

Weaknesses

  • Can't heal directly
  • In auto-battle, the AI often wastes Speed Force Sharing on a high-ATK ally who doesn't need the Energy
  • His impact depends heavily on how strong the rest of his squad already is

Profile

The Flash (Barry Allen)'s full name is Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen.

Background

Barry Allen was a forensic chemist for the Central City Police with a habit of being late, to the frustration of his fiancé reporter Iris Allen.

While working late one night, a bolt of lightning struck his lab, dousing him in chemicals.

Afterward, he discovered he could move at incredible speed.

Inspired by his childhood hero, the Golden Age Flash, he assumed the costumed identity of The Flash and became the protector of Central City, using his position in the police department to learn of crimes that needed solving.

He fought a succession of often science-based villains, who became known as the Rogues, along with threats from beyond space and time.

With his ability to reach anywhere on Earth in moments, he often teamed up with other heroes, becoming a founding member of the Justice League.
