If you’re grinding through DC Worlds Collide and looking for a reliable healer to carry your team through the early to mid-game, Kid Flash might be your go-to. This speedster isn’t just fast; he’s a healing powerhouse that can keep your squad alive with minimal investment. Here’s a breakdown of why Kid Flash shines, based on our teams testing.
Kid Flash’s Kit: Simple but Effective
Kid Flash’s strength lies in his straightforward kit, making him a plug-and-play healer for players who don’t want to overthink team-building. His abilities focus on single-target healing, speed buffs, and some defensive utility, which work well without needing heavy resources.
-
Ultimate: Heals one ally for 95% of his attack (up from 85% with upgrades), grants a shield, and pushes the target’s action bar by 70%. This near-action-advance lets the healed ally act almost immediately, which can turn the tide in tough fights.
-
Advanced Attack: Heals the lowest HP ally for 120% of his attack on a two-turn cooldown. At higher ranks, it adds buffs like recuperate and haste, boosting team speed and recovery.
-
Passive: Boosts healing by 50% for allies under 50% HP and grants sturdy armor, giving 20% bonus defense and crit resistance. This makes him great at saving squishy characters from death’s door.
-
Basic Attack: Grants haste, keeping Kid Flash moving quickly to churn out more heals.
His kit doesn’t require complex synergies or perfect execution. You can throw him into a team, and he’ll do his job: keep everyone alive while speeding up your key players.
Best Build for Early-Mid Game
Best Build for Early-Mid GameYou don’t need to break the bank to make Kid Flash effective. At badge 10 and rank 8, he’s already a solid performer with minimal gear. Here’s how to set him up:
-
Equipment: Early on, toss on whatever gear you have Kid Flash isn’t picky. A two-piece speed set helps him act faster, but aim for a four-piece attack and two-piece HP set for ideal stats later. His healing scales with attack, so prioritizing it boosts his output.
-
Artifact: The Philosopher’s Stone is a standout choice. It grants haste and vitality for energy, plus 15,000 HP at battle start for survivability. At rank 2, it adds a 5% speed bonus, making him even quicker.
-
Investment Level: Badge 10 and rank 8 are enough for most content up to chapter 22-30 and beyond. His passive gets better with higher badge levels (more sturdy stacks and frequent triggers), but badge 30 isn’t necessary he’s effective without heavy investment.
This low-maintenance build makes Kid Flash perfect for players still building their roster and resources.
Where Kid Flash Shines
Kid Flash excels in scenarios where your team needs to stay alive against heavy single-target damage. His ability to heal low-HP allies and grant sturdy armor makes him a lifesaver in drawn-out fights.
In team comps, he pairs well with tanks like Lex Luthor or damage dealers like Hal Jordan. Combining him with Lex Luthor’s leader skill (which provides shields) adds extra durability, letting your team outlast opponents.
Limitations to Watch For
Kid Flash isn’t perfect. His heals are single-target, which can be a drawback against teams that deal widespread damage. If your squad doesn’t need constant healing, his utility drops, as he lacks preventative tools like AoE shields. Overhealing also wastes his potential, as excess heals don’t convert to shields, unlike some other supports.
He’s also vulnerable in high-damage scenarios where he can’t keep up. As the game progresses, newer healers with AoE abilities or shield conversion might outshine him, potentially making him a “power crept” placeholder.
Should You Invest in Kid Flash?
Should You Invest in Kid Flash?Absolutely, especially for early to mid-game players. At rank 8 and badge 10, Kid Flash is a low-investment healer who can carry you through tough stages like chapter 22-30. He’s not the flashiest character, but his simplicity and effectiveness make him a must-have for progressing without a maxed-out roster.
Pair him with tanks or high-damage carries, equip him with the Philosopher’s Stone, and watch him keep your team alive. Just don’t expect him to dominate late-game content or replace future healers with broader kits. For now, Kid Flash is a reliable pick to help you win and that’s what counts.
