HARLEY QUINN
DR. HARLEEN FRANCES QUINZEL, PH.D.
A talented psychiatrist who became the Joker’s right-hand woman, Harley’s greatest transformation was becoming an anarchic criminal in her own right.
FIRST APPEARANCE

[QUOTE REDACTED BY DIRECTOR A. WALLER FOR OBSCENITY AND EXPOSURE OF STATE SECRETS UNDER A.R.G.U.S. CODE 1058]
FROM THE FILES OF LEX LUTHOR:
Though she delights in tomfoolery, Quinn is clearly the de facto leader of this Task Force X. Intelligent, cunning, ruthless, it’s hard to believe she was once simply a lackey and paramour to the Joker. In fact, checking Lexipedia it seems there is a lively edit war over which crimes should be attributed to whom.
Certainly, following Joker’s death Quinn accumulated a sizeable solo career of criminal indictments before being remanded to Arkham Asylum.
She’s somehow earned the awe and exasperation of Task Force X in equal measure. I must say, I share the sentiment. Her ability to manipulate others out of –and often directly into –dangerous encounters makes her an invaluable asset.
Grapple
Grapple to highlighted ledges.
Grapple is a fast and effective way to gain verticality.
Jump to detach from the rope during a Grapple.
For optimized traversal, detach just before arriving at a ledge to conserve momentum and Overshoot it.
–Grapple (highlighted edges)
–Detach (while grappling)
–Overshoot (close to edge while grappling)
Swing
Harley Quinn can Swing or Hang from the drone. Jump to detach from the rope.
Harley can chain together multiple Swings, without touching the ground, as long as the Swing cooldown is not active.
While attached to the drone, the rope can be shortened. If timed correctly, it will optimize the Swing speed.
–Swing
–Detach (while Swinging)
–Shorten Rope (while Swinging)
Dive
While in the air, Evade to perform a Dive.
Diving reduces the Swing cooldown faster, allowing Harley Quinn to chain into the next Swing sooner.
Stick the landing by aiming for enemies to knock them back on impact.
–Dive (while airborne)
Super Swing
Performing a Swing during a Dive will trigger a Super Swing.
This is faster than a regular Swing and can propel Harley Quinn further.
The longer Harley dives, the faster the resulting Super Swing.
–Super Swing (while diving)
Grapple Attack
When available use Grapple Attack to grapple to a targeted enemy.
Harley Quinn will deal damage to the target and nearby enemies on impact.
Jump during the Grapple Attack to detach and cancel the attack.
+ –Grapple Attack (when available)
–Cancel Grapple Attack (during grapple)
