Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Patch Notes for Season 4 Episode 8 Update
MEDIEVAL GENIUS
Episode 8: Balance expands the medieval Elseworld with new locations and twists on familiar areas. Conquer The Quarry, a fortified citadel, and engage in battles within The Arena, a location inspired by the age of chivalry. Statues of King Jor-El and Queen Lara Lor-Van add to the atmosphere.
LIBRA INFAMY SET
Inspired by the DC Super-Villain Libra, this Infamy Set applies stacks of Scales of Libra to enemies, increasing both their damage dealt and received by 50% per stack. This high-risk, high-reward set encourages aggressive gameplay.

- Doctor Sivana’s Magic Bullets: Piercing bullets apply Scales of Libra and have a chance to electrify enemies. Ideal for lining up multiple enemies for devastating damage.
