I think Darkseid is perfectly viable, I think you stand a great chance with him and wish you all the luck in the world as my fellow main's sole representative actually making big things happen
@EMPEROR_KNICKS, but I also just don't think there's a chance in hell he's top five. It's good to see that kind of optimism and confidence in his best player for sure though.
And I also don't play this game at the highest level so tier placing couldn't matter less to me unless one tier was significantly broken beyond the rest. I still love Darkseid's design even though I think some of the other characters I've dabbled with like Scarecrow are clearly better than him. I feel like Darkseid's got some glaring weaknesses but any good character design ultimately should for proper balance so I honestly wouldn't even buff him at all. Hope to see him put in some work in Vegas!
