Overview
- The Prime Battleground is a Tier 1 Raid introduced in The Battle for Earth and is the location of the pinnacle of Brainiac's plan to reshape the Multiverse in his own image using the acquired power from his three Prime-Avatars. Infiltrating and boring into the Earth's core from within the grounds of the bottled GCPD Headquarters, both heroes and villains amass together to stop the galactic tyrant's plans before all reality is bent to his will.
- The Prime Battleground is directly accessible via a teleporter in the Meta Wing.

- While bottling any possible buildings, Brainiac chose the GCPD Headquarters to bore in to the ground to get to the Nexus of Reality. The Justice League of America recruits New Heroes and New Villiains to search around South Gotham in order to find Brainiac and his hideout.
- Finding it out, the JLA orders the New Heroes to go the GCPD Headquarters to end Brainiac in the one now known as "The Prime Battleground"
- After Brainiac's defeat, Future Lex Luthor takes advantage of the portal that Brainiac dug upon reaching the center of the Multiverse, The Nexus of Reality. Future Batman follows Lex and, later, Future Batman and Future Lex will recruit New Heroes and New Villains respectively to assist in foiling the other.

Walkthrough
- You must defeat the Prime Avatars of Tech, Meta and Magic. Only one is targetable at one time - the other two would always be in stasis beams and cannot be attacked.
- It is highly recommended to have your raid composed of a diversity of power types due to conflicts that occur between the same powers such as the poison from two Nature players, the burn effect from two fire characters and the Circle of Protection/Destruction from two Sorcery Healers/DPSs.
- Damage Role
- Keep damaging each adds and/or avatars and watch out for spike hits from avatars.; It is recommended to stay at range as the Avatars' strong hits are at melee to mid-range.
- IF the group agrees, assist in taking out the spawners.; Try not to shutdown the Magic spawner before the Brainiac fight, if so, even before the Brainiac fight, Healer drones will appear.
- Healer Role
- STAY ON YOUR TOES!. There is no telling when one of your teammates will receive spike damage.
- Tank Role
- Tank each Avatar as you would in their original raids.

- Avatar of Meta
- "Purple Ball" - Every so often he will fire purple balls at players, they will inflict massive damage so be sure Roll away or block if you don't have enough time to.(He will fire 1-2 balls every time he uses this attack.)
- "Electricity" - With this attack Meta releases pockets of electricity on the floor of the battlefield it is necessary that players immediately roll away as it will usually spawn directly under some players.
- "Summon Tentacle" - Similar to the tail like lightning that appears around the Prime Battleground, one of these will appear behind Meta as impales is whips into the ground, the entire raid is advised to simple back as far away from him until this attack subsides.
