Grummen's Review:

From the very beginning AODS has been a killer defensive card, and he still remains that way today, although with slightly less effectiveness.

Arkham Origins Deathstroke's claim to fame is his incredibly effective SP1, which is unblockable and crit if it hits 200% damage. This takes skill and luck to do, but it's also incredibly rewarding. A skilled player can sweep the floor with opposing teams if DS is used correctly, and even unskilled players can utilize his awesome SP1 by putting him on the defensive team, where it will be likely to hit 200% more often. A max elite AODS with respective gear can actually wipe out opposing characters of similar level with a single SP1 (it's happened to me before) and in this way Deathstroke is the ultimate assassin.

This is made even more true with Arkham Harley, who gives a high unblockable chance to his SP2, giving him unblockable chances at every level of power.

But there are counters for it. A Red Son team with Green Lantern, as the description states, actually nullifies the crit of the SP1 AND gives it a 20% damage nerf. And a Blackest Night team cannot be block breaked in the first place, completely nullifying the power inherent in Deathstroke's specials. Raven also may be Deathstroke's downfall since all of his specials are multi hit, allowing her more chances to activate her passive. Reverse Flash also can be unaffected by Deathstroke's specials.

There is a variety of gear that can be well utilized with AODS. The Fourth World set makes Deathstroke a complete nightmare to fight in Online, and Ibistick increases that insanely high Special damage to another level, AND giving him that energy regen boost he needs to activate any of his specials. The Promethium Sword gives Deathstroke a very high damage boost but it's actually not very necessary since most of his power comes from the Specials. But it's always a good thing to have. If you lack the Fourth World set, you can always combine the Gauntlets with the Sword for high health regen on the combo ender, plus a well needed health boost.

Verdict: Overall, a fantastic fighter for both offense and defense, with an unpredictable but devastating SP1. 92/100.
