Deadshot/Suicide Squad

Deadshot can be unlocked through his challenge. Otherwise, he can be obtained from his Early Access Bundle, the Worst Heroes Ever Bundle, as well as a rare drop from the Suicide Squad Daily Bonus Pack. However, obtaining him from a pack will not unlock him for direct promotions.

Strategy
A very effective and deadly character when used right. His assistance passive will only work with other Suicide Squad characters. When active, his icon will be visible in the top right and there will be a laser aimed at the opponent. It will trigger when one character uses a Special; Deadshot's assist will temporarily disable the opponent's block, allowing his teammate's special to land unblocked. This will only work once per special, when active. The next time it has a chance to become active is when another opponent tags in. If Deadshot's passive is active and Deadshot is tagged in, the passive will disappear. However, if Deadshot is tagged back out, his passive will not necessarily remain active.

For aiming mini-games, the bonus damage DOES APPLY to all other characters. However, Deadshot has to use a SP2 before the larger "Sweet Spot" and bonus damage will appear for other characters. The bonus will always work with Deadshot and this applies to any character with a Target special.

Interactions
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Deadshot. Having a card that "counters" Deadshot does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good with

 * Any of the other Suicide Squad characters.

Countered by

 * Superman/Injustice 2: Superman's passive, if active, negates the block disabling assist from (tagged-out) Deadshot.

Abilities
Here are Deadshot's abilities.

Trivia

 * His artifacts are: Body Armor, Rifle, Wrist Gun, Monocle and Boots.
 * His character is portrayed by Will Smith in the movie Suicide Squad.
 * The last hit of his combo ender has a small chance to stun, making him the only character able to inflict a status effect on combo-ender that is not mentioned in their passive.
