Were you using the Crisis heroes in the tier for non crisis games?
I ask as (Crisis) Cyborg is crap in Crisis co-op although Batman is the worst.
Had not thought of using him in regular games. Crisis Batman would be very bad in regular games as well.
So far I agree with the tier levels if they are all for PvP games.
I think if you use regular heroes in Crisis co-op the tiers would be very different.
In our co-op games I have found that Shazam is still very powerful but so is Swamp Thing.
I do not include the crisis superheroes. I just include the regular superheroes or supervillains from forever evil.
Here is my tier list, but I am not an expert. I would like to hear feedback and hear other people's rankings. I think swamp thing is ok, you always can use locations but he's limited. Shazam is random but yes he is very strong, I ranked him as #1.
TIER 1 (TOP)
-Shazam: IMO he is the best, since even with randomness, he can get great cards AND topdeck whatever he buys from main deck. And previously mentioned lockin the lineup
-Aquaman: Very consistent, always able to topdeck most of cards in lineup to provide immediate access.
-Cyborg: Very versatile and people consider him one of the best
-Starfire: powerful draw ability and usually her effect will trigger most of the time, also even if superpower in lineup, you could buy it then trigger her ability
-Green Lantern: Strong ability and later in game, can trigger with not too much difficultly
-Animal Man: His ability is easy to trigger and can get 2 power with not too much trouble later in game.
-Martian Manhunter: Strong character with two ways to trigger ability. Not too hard to get ability even if there are shortages of 2 needed cards because of mixing
TIER 2 (HIGH)
-Hawkman: I feel he’s strong one in this tier since he triggers with any heroes even repeats
-Black Canary: Good ability since supervillains are included and lots of villians in main deck
-Superman: when in doubt buy a kick, he will always have backup to use plus lineup.
-The Flash: going first is important since he can guage what he wants from lineup before anyone else. Also nice to gain extra cards from draw cards
-Sinestro: Strong character since if you can get attack cards, you trigger two effects which help greatly. But he can be stopped with others buying attacks and defenses.
-Bane: Easy way to access ability if need the extra power, to get the extra push
-Black Adam: Kinda like superman, always have kicks as backup to trigger ability also (my little brother abused that with him)
TIER 3 (MID)
-Green Arrow: I think he’s great character since he can trigger with supervillians and villains. I’ve used him to buy villains for free or 1 power.
-Wonder Woman: always nice to have extra card. Already mentioned higher because more supervillains than superheroes.
-Lex Luthor: Pretty much same thing as Wonder Woman
-Nightwing: My opinion with him is Nightwing is stronger since there have been more equipment in HU. But he has more versatility than Batman so slightly higher.
-Batman: Good enough of character, but not usual winner
-Black Manta: I think he is great character since you can put any card on bottom, but later in game I think with bigger deck you get stronger hands but takes longer to work. I dunna?
-Red Tornado: As long as you play cards that are different his effect will work, but he won’t do much in beginning which might make him have to play catchup.
TIER 4 (LOW)
-Batgirl: A lot of people like her and I still think she is good with ability to cycle deck and top deck manipulation, but when using punches, I feel more comfortable using green arrow
-Booster Gold: I love booster Gold but he is hard to win with since not too many defenses in deck, and everyone usually wants them
-Zatanna: Kinda like batgirl with manipulation, but lower than her I think
-Constantine: At first I did not like Constantine but I misunderstood his effect. It actually can be useful since you get to play extra card with extra power, and you get to know what your next card is which can be useful.
TIER 5 (BOTTOM)
-Swamp Thing: Already mentioned, is most consistent “do nothing character” since only usually less than 10 of cards he needs in main deck
-Deathstroke: hard to use since not too many destruction cards and everyone wants these since very useful. And only grants one bonus power so yeah..
-Harley Quinn: pass effect hard to trigger and discarding cards only works with few cards and attacks against her
-Bizarro: hard to trigger and gaining weaknesses is always sucky thing for dead draws so not feeling him too much
-Robin: I guess he is worst one in the game since he needs two specific cards to trigger his ability
