Lair System Upgrade (Icon)
Lair3

Available to player characters level 10 and above, Lairs and Hideouts (a.k.a. bases) are obtainable "personal living spaces" for a player's character to dwell.

Each base comes with a location-theme: sewer, penthouse, cave, bunker, tech, etc, that can be customized by the player with various objects, props and furniture found in-game or in the marketplace. The entrance can be set by the player to be in Gotham City, Metropolis, or the House of Legends.

Bases are divided into Hideouts, which are smaller, and Lairs, which are larger and grant access to Arena PvP and Legends PvP Lair Battles. Hideout: Dive, Lair: Deco, and Lair: Gothic are given for free to all players in level 9 missions. Others can be unlocked in-game or bought on the Marketplace.

Themes[]

The Base Theme is the visual overall style for a player's base.

Two base themes, Gothic and Deco, are included with Lair System access. Other themes are available via the marketplace.

Initial Base Themes

Marketplace Base Themes

Other Base Themes

* These Base Themes cannot be used for PvP Lair Battles, because they do not have the standard base layout.

Originally bases were merely available to members. Bases include some vital functionality, thus hideouts were introduced for non-members to have access to those. Since the Lair System is now free for all players, this distinction became superfluous.

Deeds[]

After obtaining a Lair or Hideout theme, the Player must obtain a Deed. A Deed dictates the location of the Lair or Hideout in Gotham City or Metropolis. The locations available depend on the theme selected (e.g. Deco locations are various apartment buildings while Sewer or Bunker are various street/ground-level locations).

Price of Deeds depend on the location's proximity with other landmarks and the area's difficulty level.

Since game update 110 any player character can have up to 8 bases.
