DC Universe Online is rolling out a new Ally Feats system on August 11, 2026, tying Legendary Ally rank-ups directly to feat points, skill points, and a new unlock currency. Daybreak Games confirmed the update through the official DCUO news post, alongside a scheduled maintenance window for that day. Here’s what changes for anyone who has invested time into ranking up Legendary Allies.
DC Universe Online Adds Ally Feats, Rewarding Legendary Ally Progression With Account-Wide Unlocks
What Was Confirmed and Through What Channel
According to the official DCUO news post, all DCUO worlds went offline on Tuesday, August 11 from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM PT for maintenance to bring the feature online. Legendary Allies now carry 10 total ranks, with each rank boosting the effectiveness of their Signature Ability and Passive Abilities.
- Rank 4 unlocks Passive Ability 1
- Rank 6 unlocks Passive Ability 2
- Rank 10 is the maximum rank
- Claiming an ally at Rank 1 grants the first feat automatically
Feat Points, Skill Points, and Ally Legion Tributes
Ranking up a Legendary Ally now rewards feat points at set milestones, and fully maxing one out delivers a total of 260 feat points and 2.6 skill points.

What Is Confirmed So Far
- 250 Ally Legion Tributes unlock an ally for a single character
- An account-wide unlock starts at 1,000 Tributes, with the cost dropping as individual characters already have that ally unlocked
- Ally Legion Tributes are only rewarded once per account per ally
- Allies already at maximum level still receive the associated feats and Tributes retroactively
- A launch event runs August 11 through August 17, with 20% off Ally Legion Tributes, 50% off Ally Leveling during the Ally Uprising Event, and a one-time 50% discount on the 1,000-Tribute account unlock
What This Means for Players Building Multiple Characters
Anyone already grinding Legendary Allies gets rewarded retroactively, so there’s no need to reset progress or reclaim anything manually. Players juggling several alts should hold off on individual-character ally unlocks until they’ve checked whether the account-wide threshold and the launch-week discount make more sense for their roster, as Massively Overpowered also noted in its coverage of the update.
DC Universe Online’s Ally Feats system went live August 11, 2026, turning Legendary Ally rank-ups into feat points, skill points, and Ally Legion Tributes for account-wide unlocks. Good luck stacking those ranks!
