Quantum's Take

The Penguin is a Mythic Intimidator Champion who does Spiritual damage. The Penguin is best used in Dawnbreaker CC, Devastator CC.

They can be obtained in The Bleed, Motherboxes (Purple +), Random Mythic Shards, Custom Mythic Shards, Daily Deals.

You should focus on the following transmutes for The Penguin: ATK, Energy Gain Bonus, Spiritual AMP.

The Penguin received a kit rework in early 2026. We still see him as a skip for anyone who builds The Joker up long term, but for non-spenders who need a third or fourth team and have no other choice, the new kit actually has some viability in the early game and for those looking for a solid ship combat team.

Tier explanations
S+The absolute best champions — meta-defining and dominant in every game mode.
STop tier characters that make an impact in every game mode.
A+Top tier in one or some game modes, but not all.
AGreat champions that, while not top tier, are still very good in many situations.
BSolid middle of the road champions — don't particularly excel anywhere but still overall good picks.
CChampions that excel in the early game but perform considerably worse later on. Also champions that have a well defined niche but don't particularly stand out outside of it, so they aren't worth building unless you have a developed roster.
DChampions that fail to have meaningful impact in any content.
