Bane/Knightfall

Rarity	Base Stats	Price	Unlock
Silver	470/420	50,000	WBID, Silver Booster Pack, Phantom Zone reward (Trainee), Daily log-in bonus reward (day 70)

Venom Overdose: Once per match, when Bane is below 40% HEALTH, he receives 150% POWER generation for 8 seconds.

Knightfall Bane requires a linked WBID that has cleared 50 random challenges in the console version to unlock. He is otherwise a quite rare drop from Silver Booster Packs, and can be obtained as a reward from daily log-ins on day 70.

Heavy	4% - 4% - 4%	12%

Passive

Knightfall Bane is one of the better silver cards. He has the 3rd highest base damage among silvers; the only two higher are Black Adam/Prime (who has halved SP2 damage due to its power drain), and The Flash/Regime (who has a very slow SP2, although his basic attacks are much faster than Bane's).

On the brink of defeat, he is able to add staggering gains to his power in order to inflict massive blows, or just to get in that extra super move. His gains 150% power generation while his passive is active, which means he gains power at 2.5x the normal speed for the duration, although it is quite brief. While he is quite a rare drop from packs, he is always a great addition to any silver team, especially with Green Lantern/Regime to further enhance his massive power generation buff.

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 Bane. Having a card that "counters" Bane does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With

• Any Character or that boosts power generation, as they synergize with his passive to generate massive amounts of power.

Countered By

• Killer Frost/Prime & Solomon Grundy/Earth 2: Both can slow down Bane's power generation, especially if they are paired together.
