Amazons
MetahumanQueen Hippolyta is a Mythic + Guardian Champion who does Physical damage. Queen Hippolyta is best used in PvP.
They can be obtained in The Bleed (Limited).
You should focus on the following transmutes for Queen Hippolyta: P DEF, HP, Energy Gain Bonus.
Queen Hippolyta is the first new Amazons tagged champion to come to the game, and her kit is built around defensive support through granting shields to her teammates and absorbing damage taken by them. Her ultimate is a channeled ability, but it grants her Super Armor, meaning she cannot be interrupted during the cast. We expect her to be used primarily with Amazons once the rest of that team is formed, but she is also one of the more plug-and-play champions we've seen in quite a while. Some have dubbed her Doctor Fate 2.0 and I think that's an apt comparison. I think all rosters should try to incorporate her into their farming plans because she is quite good even at blue stars without her unique legacy piece, but if you want to use her in high-level Meta Brawl or 3v3, you'll need to get her to Yellow 5 with a White 5 unique legacy piece, or Red 5, if you want her to instantly use her ultimate at the start of battle.
Queen Hippolyta is a defensive Champion who absorbs DMG for her allies. Her basic attacks and skills scale heavily with her Physical DEF.
Queen Hippolyta's signature gear. Its universal skill increases Physical Defense and periodically grants Energy to allies. Its exclusive skill grants initial Energy and restores HP over time, enabling her to cast her Ultimate at the start of battle to withstand early enemy burst damage.
Grants a large HP bonus to improve damage sharing. The Energy Gain Bonus enables faster Ultimate usage to counter enemy burst, while also providing Attack bonuses to allies.
Increases HP and Dodge. Queen Hippolyta absorbs damage for allies, and these bonuses let her stay in the fight longer to protect them.
Increases HP and Attack. Queen Hippolyta takes much less damage after casting her Ultimate, and the Attack bonus lets her deal massive damage while protecting allies.

Set the level, stars and Force talents on their own; the totals combine all three the way the game does: stars multiply the level stat, then Force % bonuses and base skin bonuses multiply that, then flat Force bonuses are added.
No star bonus yet. Each star from here adds to HP, ATK and both DEFs.
Mythic+ champions use the game's stronger star table: HP and ATK rise faster from Purple on.

Hippolyta encountered the Amazons after running away from her job as a midwife's assistant. She had been ordered to abandon an unwanted infant girl and refused, fighting the elements to save the baby. During her journey, she was rescued by the Amazons, who saved her from male slave traffickers. The Amazons had been created by the goddesses Hestia, Artemis, Demeter, Hecate, Aphrodite, and Athena from the souls of murdered women at the Well of the Lost with one purpose: to bring men who abuse women to justice.
The Amazons were split into six tribes, one for each of the six creator goddesses. Hippolyta quickly adapted to Amazon life, rising through their ranks and soon becoming the queen of her own Amazon tribe. During the day, they hid from the male gods, and at night, when Artemis could watch over them, they hid themselves to keep their existence a secret from Zeus and the other male gods. This went well until one day, a young Amazon killed a trafficker's son while he was praying to Apollo and thus exposed their existence.
The male gods became furious learning about the existence of the Amazons and retaliated by sending an all-male army to destroy the Amazons. As the battle began, Hippolyta proved herself to be the most intelligent and brave of all the warriors and rose to become the unified leader of all the Amazon tribes. She led them bravely in defense of their lives and purpose, but the war came at a great cost. Many Amazons fell in the conflict.
To save what remained of her sisters, Hippolyta bravely traveled to Olympus and struck a deal with Zeus: the Amazons' lives in exchange for eternal exile. Zeus agreed with one exception: the one who killed the boy at the temple. All Amazons, both the dead and the living, were granted long lives but would be forever imprisoned on the island of Themyscira. They were kept under the watchful eyes of Apollo, the sun god, but Artemis was allowed to visit her warriors once a month. During a time of intense grief, Hippolyta chose to make a clay baby girl. The six goddesses blessed the child with gifts and reincarnated the soul of the infant the Queen of the Amazons was ordered to abandon within the clay child, granting it life. The baby was named after the moon goddess, Diana... and grew to be Wonder Woman.
Diana was granted powers beyond even the mightiest Amazons. The curious young girl wondered about life beyond Themyscira, but her mother warned the outside world was a place of violence that the Amazons had left long ago. Then one day, a plane piloted by Captain Steve Trevor crashed on Themyscira. Diana saved him from the burning aircraft. He was the first human man she had ever seen. The semiconscious Trevor muttered warnings of danger in the world outside. Hippolyta realized that the Amazons were under threat if discovered and pondered what to do with their foreign visitor who washed up on their island home. Eventually, she allowed her daughter to travel to the world of men, where Diana became both the ambassador from Themyscira and the superhero known as Wonder Woman.
Though her daughter's choices sometimes worry Hippolyta, she is generally supportive, and she and her Amazons do what they can to support Diana. Once Hippolyta declared Diana was no longer worthy to be Wonder Woman and held a contest to find a replacement, which was won by Artemis, an Amazon from a sister tribe that lived in the hidden Egyptian city of Bana-Mighdall, Artemis replaced Diana as Wonder Woman while Diana fought for justice on her own. When Artemis was killed in battle, Hippolyta apologized and revealed she'd had a prophetic vision that Wonder Woman would die, so she declared Diana unworthy of being Wonder Woman in an attempt to save her daughter from that fate. Diana made her mother swear to be truthful in the future and became Wonder Woman again, and Artemis escaped from the Hell dimension she had been consigned to.
After player feedback, and the devs' own finding that she wasn't performing as intended, the September 24 changes were reverted four days later. She came back with her original design and stronger low-level values: Athena's Shield's team shield now starts at 330% of her Physical DEF (previously 250%) and still reaches 850%.
On October 13 the devs raised attributes for all limited Mythic champions and their legacy pieces. Hippolyta's share of that skill boost had already arrived with this revert.
Thankfully the developers listened to community feedback on their prior changes and saved this champion.
Her Ultimate, Athena's Shield, lost its team shield. In exchange it absorbed more damage at higher levels (up to 65%), and she started every battle with 100 Energy. Luck of Tyche gained a start-of-battle shield on herself, and Gaea's Gift's damage reduction went up to 65%.
This was a terrible rework. The community rioted. See 09/28/2025 change for details.
The Queen of the Amazons joined DC: Dark Legion as a defensive Guardian built around shields and damage absorption. Her legacy piece, Themysciran Royal Sceptre, reached the House of Secrets in the August 27 update, and her strategies were added to the in-game Strategy Guide.
