If Harley Quinn is going to save the world in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, she will need a good set of skills. Harley has three different skill trees (called Talent Trees in-game) that represent her skill with firearms, melee combat, and traversal combat, respectively. Each Talent Tree is essential to building the best Harley, but some skills are more important than others.
Harley differentiates herself from the other Task Force X members through her stolen Bat tech (a grappling hook and a Bat Drone for aerial traversal) and her love of explosives. Her playstyle is suited for players who want to soar throughout Metropolis, getting around enemy defenses for devastating attacks. To ensure Harley can handle whatever the game throws, you must prioritize her best skills first.
5 Ways Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Is Like Batman Arkham (& 5 Ways It’s Different)
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a somewhat unusual heir to the Batman: Arkham series, with major similarities and differences alike.
The Best Skills In The Thrills N’ Kills Talent Tree
Talent Trees are organized into Tiers. While some tiers have only one Talent and keep you locked into that Talent, other tiers have multiple Talents you can switch between. Since the single Talent tiers are unchangeable, Harley’s adaptability comes from which Talent you activate in each tier.
Thrills N’ Kills focuses on improving Harley’s overall combat skills, with a special focus on firearms and grenades. These Talents open enemies up to more damage and improve the effectiveness of grenades. The more combo Harley generates, the more these talents will be triggered. When you need to pick a Talent in any given tier, each Talent should play into the others for a cohesive, powerful build.

Melee hits reduce enemy damage by 50%. They take 25% more Firearm damage for 15 seconds. |
3 |
Handy Hand Cannons |
At 10x Combo or higher, Pistol Critical Hits cause enemies to Bleed for 40% of damage dealt over 10 seconds. |

10 |
The Ballerina |

Out of Harley’s three Talent Trees, Thrills N’ Kills has the most multi-talent tiers. The farther down the tree, the stronger the Talents. Traumatic Experience and Grenade Parade open enemies up to extra damage by encouraging the use of Harley’s bat and grenades. Reckless is great for high-stakes, fast-paced combat, allowing you to potentially forget about reloading. With this skill set, Harley will make her enemies bleed and riddle the battlefield with bullets and grenade fragments.
The Best Skills In The Meet My Mallet Talent Tree
Meet My Mallet is Harley’s melee Talent Tree and the basis of her Suicide Strike (a powerful attack available to all playable characters in Suicide Squad: KTLJ). Many of the abilities in this Talent Tree help support Harley’s Shield, keeping her alive in close quarters combat so she can use her bat and take down grunts and heroes alike.

Most of Harley’s best skills in the Meet My Mallet Talent Tree connect to her Shield. Untouchable and Safety First improve her Shield’s stats while Drone In The Zone and The Ol’ One Two reward players for Shield Harvests. Meanwhile, Keep ‘Em Comin and Workin’ Overtime play into Harley’s biggest attacks: her Suicide Strike and Grapple Traversal Attack.
The Best Skills In The One Woman Show Talent Tree
One Woman Show is a Talent Tree devoted to the exciting traversal mechanics Harley uses in Suicide Squad: KTJL. The Talent Tree mainly involves a Grapple Traversal Attack that pairs well with Harley’s Suicide Strike. Other Talents on the tree provide bonuses based on whether Harley attacks while on the ground or while Airborne.
How Big Suicide Squad: KTJL’s Map Is Compared To Arkham Knight’s Gotham
Suicide Squad: KTJL sees the Arkhamverse moving to a location outside of Gotham City for the first time, so how does Metropolis compare to Gotham?
Tier |
Talent |
Description |
---|---|---|
2 |
Headspinner |
Grapple Traversal Attack damage increases by 50%. |
4 |
Elusiveness |
Harley no longer loses Combo when a Combo event is triggered. This Talent can trigger once every 30 seconds. |
5 |
Quick Routine |
Ground Evades and Ground Slides increase the damage of Harley’s next Melee hit by 100%. |
7 |
A Grapple A Day |
Grapple Traversal Attack damage increases by 50% when at 20x Combo or higher. |
10 |
Ultimate Thrillride |
When the Squad Ultimate is active, Grapple Traversal Attack damage increases by 150%, and Suicide Strike damage goes up by 300%. |
With Headspinner and A Grapple A Day, Harley’s Grapple Traversal Attack can get a 100% increase if she keeps her combos up. She has a better chance of activating A Grapple A Day thanks to Elusiveness and its Combo protection. Quick Routine is part of a tier of ground-oriented Talents, so pairing that with Melee attacks is better than anything else. With Ultimate Thrillride on hand to support Harley’s strongest attacks, she will be more than prepared for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.
