Quantum's Take

Death Metal Batman is a Iconic Magical Champion who does Spiritual damage. Death Metal Batman is best used in PvP.

They can be obtained in Special Event.

You should focus on the following transmutes for Death Metal Batman: Energy Gain Bonus, ATK, Spiritual AMP, Spiritual PEN.

Death Metal Batman is one of the most powerful champions in the game. As with Death Metal Wonder Woman, though, he was locked behind a massive paywall on release and we expect him to be difficult to obtain on a re-run as well. He has a very unique kit, in that he can't be targeted directly as long as one blackest bat and one ally are still alive. The blackest bat summoning mechanic is incredible, and when most of your team dead, the damage really ramps up.

Strategy Guide

A deadly summoner and spiritual DPS, Batman Death Metal fights by summoning Blackest Bats and unleashing AoE spiritual bursts. While a Blackest Bat and at least one ally are on the battlefield, Batman Death Metal is untargetable.
