Nightwing/Batman Ninja



Batman Ninja Nightwing is a Metal character introduced in the 3.1 update.

Currently, he cannot be unlocked and can only be obtained through the Nth Metal Pack, the Nth Metal Pro Pack, and the Nth Metal Ultimate Pack which can only be bought by using the new currency, Nth Metal, obtained from the new game mode, Phantom Zone and from Online Battles as of update 3.1. He also has a very small chance of being given as a reward upon completion of the Phantom Zone event, however, this will still not unlock him for direct promotions. Additionally, as a Metal character, it takes 44 total copies for him to get to EVII. As such, eliting him would take an extremely long time or a large amount of real money.

Despite his base stats being double that of the best gold cards, that difference becomes less significant once he gains elite levels.

Strategy
Shinobi Arts can drain power even after Nightwing is KO'ed. If the teammate tags in during an enemy special (such as if that special KO'ed another character, forcing them to tag in), "power drain immune" would be displayed and no power would be drained.

Good With

 * Batman Ninja teammates: They have synergy with him due to his passive.

Good Against

 * Characters with multiple hits for special attacks: Some characters have particularly long special attacks. These characters include, but aren’t limited to, The Flash/Wally West Rebirth, Green Lantern/Regime, Nightwing/Regime, and Green Lantern/Jessica Cruz Rebirth, just to name a few. Batman characters with an extended SP1, such as Batman/Arkham Knight, Batman/Dawn of Justice, Batman/Flashpoint, Batman/Batman Ninja, and Batman/Gaslight, have a disadvantage against Nightwing’s power gain per blocked hit, especially due to how easily it can be triggered once a power bar has been gained.

Countered By

 * Lobo/Prime and Static/Prime: Both characters are immune to the Power Drain upon Tag-In.

Abilities
Here are Nightwing's abilities. Nightwing’s SP2, Kunaijutsu, can be chained from his heavy basic attacks.

It’s not sure if it’s a bug or it’s not just directly stated in his Special’s description, but his SP1, Warrior of the Night, is ALWAYS unblockable.

Stats
Note that Metal characters cannot undergo Breakthrough.

Trivia

 * He is the first Metal character not to originate from the Dark Multiverse.
 * He is also the only Nightwing character to have a different combo-ender and SP1, and the only Metal character to have a unique SP1.
 * Upon using his SP2, characters show up on either side of him that reads "Ninja" (right) and "Nightwing" (left). "Nightwing", however, is in Chinese. "Ninja" is written with the same characters in Chinese and Japanese.
 * He has the current highest base damage amongst all the cards, surpassing The Joker/The Batman Who Laughs Metal.
