 Tactical Advantage: Batgirl and her teammates each start the match with 1 bar of POWER.
|
Batgirl is a flexible fighter who can fit into many teams, with her passive granting one bar of power to all members of her team at the beginning of the fight for great early pressure.
She can be unlocked through her Challenge Mode. Otherwise, she can be randomly obtained from the Challenge Booster Pack, the Special Challenge Booster Packs, or as a guaranteed pull from the Femme Fatale Pack. However, obtaining her from a pack will not unlock her for direct promotions.
Strategy[]
Basic Attacks[]
| Basic combo | Damage pattern (% of damage stat) | Total (including Combo Ender) |
|---|---|---|
| Light (Combo Ender) | 2% - 2% - 2% - (3%) | 9% |
| Heavy | 4% - 4% - 4% | 12% |
Her heavy combo's finishing animation can be followed up with using a light combo immediately after. It isn't a true chaining combo as it is possible to block between the two combos.
Passive[]
Batgirl is an old but very useful support character, her starting power for the entire team can help her team gain huge advantages over the enemy team if utilized right - some characters with powerful special attacks such as Ares/Prime can severely wound the opponents, or even wipe an entire team within few seconds.
Batgirl's popularity suffered over time, and not only because her base stats are becoming low in comparison: Batman/Arkham Origins was changed to only start with a maximum of 2 bars when she used to be often paired with him to give him 3 bars of power at the very start of the fight and use a Super Move immediately. Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar also provides the wielder with one bar of starting power along with a very useful power drain effect on combo enders, although it is possible to combine both to allow any character to start with two bars of power.
She's been seeing a bit more use recently, due to yet another repeat of Batgirl's challenge in August 2015, the addition of the Femme Fatale Pack that rivals, and later surpasses, the Red Son Pack in practicality (partially due to the latter being changed to a random pack), as well as the Cloak of Destiny vastly increasing the damage of her special 1 (although Batgirl/Cassandra Cain is more powerful for that purpose, albeit much harder to get) as it starts with a stun. Batman/Arkham Knight is also a good match for her as he is essentially an upgrade to Arkham Origins Batman whose 2 bars of power are not capped, allowing him to get 3 bars at the very beginning of a match, and he is a poor match for Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar.
Gear[]
As she's mainly a support character, any gear can suit her well. Cloak of Destiny and/or Nekron's Scythe is practically mandatory on her if you want to utilize her stun SP1. It is also often paired with SP1 crit gear, such as LexCorp Gauntlets V2 or her own Nanocarbon Mask, which would further increase her crit damage to a maximum of 250% of normal damage, prior to augments.
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 Batgirl. Having a card that "counters" Batgirl does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With[]
- Batman/Arkham Knight: If he selects the "Power Added" part of his passive at the start of the game, he could use his Super Move immediately, especially with Militarized Batmobile.
- Superman/Man of Steel: She gives Superman an instant bar of power, if his passive triggers, he can potentially deal a lot of damage early in the match.
- The Flash/Metahuman: She gives Flash an instant bar of power at the start of the match. He can use it immediately to activate his passive.
- Characters with strong special attacks.
- Batman/Batman Ninja: Batman can get enough power to use his devastating SP2 more quickly with Batgirl in his team.
- Ares/Prime: If he's also equipped with Ra's al Ghul's Scimitar, he would have 2 bars of power, allowing him to use his immensely powerful SP2 immediately.
- Deathstroke/Arkham Origins: With the help of Batgirl's passive, Deathstroke can use his immensely powerful SP1 at the beginning of the match.
Good Against[]
- Green Lantern/Red Son: Batgirl has the unique ability to still STUN Green Lantern and his Red Son comrades with her SP1 which makes her a greater threat when equipped with the Cloak of Destiny (X% more damage against STUNNED opponents). (Note: Green Lantern will still have CRIT immunity)
- Batman/Arkham Origins: His starting two bars of power can be drained if someone like Lex Luthor/Krypto or Nightwing/New 52 are on her team as their Power Drain can rob him of his two bars.
- Killer Frost/Prime, Killer Frost/Regime, and Solomon Grundy/Earth 2: She grants power for the entire team which is unaffected by their power dampening passives.
Countered By[]
- Batgirl/Prime: Interestingly enough, Batgirl can counter herself if one of her teammates has a power drain on SP1, limiting her overall effectiveness.
- Mother Box: The starting match power drain can limit the effectiveness of Batgirl's passive.
- Raven/Rebirth: She can steal Batgirl's team's starting power.
- Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar & Overpowered 5-U-93-R: The power drain on Combo Ender can get rid of her starting power if the user is quick enough.
Abilities[]
Here are Batgirl's abilities.
| Ability | Classification | Description | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Art of Deception | First Special | Batgirl uses a smoke bomb to cover her as she attacks from a distance. | Rapid Swipe |
| Redemption | Second Special | Batgirl uses her exceptional agility to gain the upper hand over her opponent. | Rapid Swipe, Target |
| High-Wire Act | Super Move | Blending death-defying acrobatics with overwhelming force, Batgirl smashes her opposition. UNBLOCKABLE. | Tap |
Her SP1, Art of Deception, can stun before the last hit, making Cloak of Destiny or Nekron's Scythe excellent choice to empower her SP1. This stun will ignore stun immunity. If the smoke bomb from her special 1 triggers Invulnerability, the opponent will remain in the visual stun state until the invulnerability wears off.
Redemption suffers from a glitch that may cause the one or both batarangs to be thrown despite not tapping yet on the tap to throw section, causing them to only deal minimum damage. This also affects Deathstroke's Sword Spin and Superman/Godfall's Frozen Delivery. If both batarangs are thrown before tapping, it is possible for them to stun if you have stun on SP2 gear, but the stun would immediately wear off when the special properly finishes.

The Elite 10 damage and health levels are for level 60 characters. Numbers with a * after them may not be accurate, please allow for a discrepancy of '+1/-1' damage or health due to rounding inconsistencies in game code.

Trivia[]
- Her artifacts are: Utility Belt, Blades, Cowl, Cape, and Grappling Gun.
- She was the very first challenge character.
- Furthermore, she was also the first challenge character to be repeated twice, followed by Darkseid/Prime, Superman/Godfall, and Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad.
- The 2.6 update added a "Stunned" text to the beginning of her SP1, although it already worked as a stun for the purpose of Cloak of Destiny prior to that.
