Many people assume that Deathstroke is the primary win-condition for Legion of Doom PvP teams. However, Sinestro is who really shuts down enemy teams. His ultimate is one of the best burst damage abilities in the game, and it's even better with his unique legacy Sinestro Corps Ring. He's an S-tier champion because not only is he the star of LoD, but he can also be added to JLD teams to bolster Constantine's ability to deal Spiritual damage.
Sinestro's Spiritual DMG increases with each enemy he defeats. His attacks can chain damage from one enemy to several others.
Sinestro's signature gear. Increases Spiritual Amplification, grants an additional Spiritual Amplification bonus at low HP, and restores Energy on kills. These effects perfectly support Sinestro's Kill Bonus mechanics, where he's stronger with each kill, and his damage chains across multiple targets.
Increases Spiritual Penetration and has a chance to inflict [Ivy's Kiss], which increases damage enemies take. Sinestro's damage chains across multiple targets, and the Spiritual Penetration bonus makes each chain attack deal even more damage.
Increases Attack and Spiritual Amplification. Since Sinestro's Attack scales with each enemy he defeats, higher base Attack gives him a bigger boost.
Provides a pure Attack bonus. Sinestro's Attack increases with the number of [Legion of Doom] allies present, so higher base Attack means a bigger bonus.
Abilities unlock from 1 star and gain an upgrade at every rank — White, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Red. The star each ability upgrades on is shown on its card.

Thaal Sinestro was a native of the planet Korugar, where he worked as an archaeologist. He specialized in reconstructing ancient Korugarian civilizations and held a strong affinity for preserving the past and order. One day, the Green Lantern Prohl Gosgotha crash-landed near Sinestro's work site, injured and seemingly dying from an attack by an enemy Qwardian. Prohl gave his ring to Sinestro, who—despite barely understanding it—was able to use it to defeat the Qwardian, though the battle destroyed the ruins he'd been meticulously reconstructing. Prohl realized that, with the enemy beaten, he could use his ring to survive his wounds and get help. He asked Sinestro for the ring back. But Sinestro, having decided he was the superior Lantern, allowed Prohl to die.
Sinestro replaced Prohl in the Green Lantern Corps and became highly respected in a short time. So much so, in fact, that he was given the position of instructor for new recruits to the Corps. In order to keep the peace on Korugar while attending to his expanding duties, Sinestro instituted ever harsher and more draconian laws on his home planet, concealing them from the Guardians because they violated the Green Lantern code of conduct. But when Sinestro was training a brash new recruit from Earth, Hal Jordan, Jordan defied his orders and revealed Korugar's dictatorial conditions to the Guardians. Sinestro was brought to trial and stripped of his Lantern ring, then banished to the antimatter universe. For this humiliation, he vowed revenge on Jordan.
Sinestro ended up on the antimatter world of Qward, ancient science-warriors who are arch-enemies of the Guardians. Instead of fleeing from the Qwardians, Sinestro approached them and convinced them that his former status as a Green Lantern gave him all the knowledge he needed to help the Qwardians defeat the Green Lantern Corps and their masters. The Qwardians created a yellow ring for Sinestro that worked much like his old Green Lantern ring, and he began a long conflict with his former trainee Hal Jordan, now the most notable of the Green Lanterns.
After years of defeats to Hal Jordan and the Corps, Sinestro was able to manipulate a mad god and acquired a cosmic level of energy. Power-mad, he went on an intergalactic murder spree, destroying entire star systems before the Green Lantern Corps stopped him. Found guilty of genocide, Sinestro was sentenced to death, but he escaped his execution by sending his essence into the Central Power Battery. There, he made a shocking discovery: the yellow impurity in the Battery that made Green Lantern rings weaken was actually a demonic being called Parallax, the embodiment of fear. Sinestro formed an alliance with Parallax and began a long-term plan of revenge against Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.
Guided by Sinestro, Parallax slowly infected Hal Jordan's mind through his Green Lantern ring's connection to the Central Power Battery. When Hal suffered the tragic loss of his home, Coast City, in an attack by the alien warlord Mongul, Parallax possessed him and drove him mad. Hal, now calling himself Parallax, attacked Oa, defeated the Guardians and Green Lanterns, and destroyed the Central Power Battery, freeing Sinestro and ending the Green Lantern Corps. Soon after, in a moment of redemption, Hal sacrificed himself to save Earth. It seemed to be Sinestro's greatest triumph. But soon, Hal was resurrected and restored to sanity, and he defeated both Parallax and Sinestro before they could expand their dreams of conquest.
Sinestro was never one to give up. His calling was to maintain order, and his preferred method was fear. He returned to the antimatter universe, constructed a host of yellow rings, and founded the Sinestro Corps, a fear-based counterpart to the newly reformed Green Lantern Corps. With an army to command, Sinestro set out for revenge on Hal Jordan, but they soon found themselves working together against a common enemy: the Black Lanterns, angry undead bent on revenge against the living. Together, the wielders of the emotional spectrum of energies beat back the zombies. Since then, a variety of power struggles both between and within various Corps have kept Sinestro busy, but with or without the Yellow Lantern Corps, he can be counted on to fight for the cause of order—the way he likes it.
