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% |
His heavy combo is fast and easy to juggle, so it's recommended over light combo as his light combo deals less damage and only has one Combo Ender.
Passive[]
Red Son Batman adds explosive damage and skill with his passive. Red Son teammates can do unblockable damage with their SP1's. This is especially good news for Solomon Grundy/Red Son, Deathstroke/Red Son, and Green Lantern/Red Son as they have slow starting, easy-to-block SP1's.
Red Son Batman is one of the lesser used Red Son characters especially in offense. The unblockable chance on SP1 is much more valuable to the AI as most players tend to use his SP2, which does 50% more damage per power bar and there are manual tricks to get around block already.
However, with the introduction of stun-based characters (Hawkgirl/Earth 2 and The Flash/Earth 2) and characters with devastating SP2's (Batman/Batman Ninja for instance), Batman proves to be a worthy teammate to stand alongside them since he can become a source of unblockable stun (Static/Prime's "Taser Trap" guarantees a stun only if it lands unblocked). This type of support can be further amplified if one of his teammates is equipped with the Cloak of Destiny. Not to mention his stun on SP1 can help other characters like The Flash/Earth 2 trigger their passives.
Batman's passive has percent chance for an UNBLOCKABLE 1st special for all Red son characters.
He occupies a niche among Batman characters; he is not top tier but not unheard of either. He is more notorious in defense: unblockable chance for his special one is critical, as it is one of the very few sources of unblockable stun, although Luchador Bane has since overshadowed him in this regard. Still, Red Son Batman is known for being a mid-level nuisance to fight against; he is sometimes coupled with Red Son Green Lantern, as well as Red Son Solomon Grundy (defensive) or Wonder Woman (offensive) to form rather annoying teams.
Gear[]
Batman can find some great uses with his unblockable SP1. It can apply DOT from gears like The Ibistick and shatter gear with Claw of Horus 2 times with just a single usage. Combined with The Master's Death Cart can make him a good supporter, being able to inflict massive DOT damage, disable all enemy gears AND stun per tag-in with his ranged SP1. This opens up opponents to tag-in and destroy whole teams with a SP1 nuke using Cloak of Destiny and League Of Assassins Adept Knives, for example Wonder Woman's or Superman's SP1. He can also effectively use Enchantress in combination with Claw of Horus and/or DOT gears. He is able to launch a SP1, stun the enemy, juggle with his heavy attacks and regain power (faster with Red Son Wonder Woman and another Red Son), and repeat, leaving the enemy unable to retaliate due to the special disabling aspect of Enchantress's Skulls while the next SP1 is ongoing. Cloak of Destiny can also empower his or his teammates' attacks after stunning the enemy with his SP1.
His heavy combo is very good for juggling, so basic attack gears are also good on him, especially when teamed with Superman/Red Son or Deathstroke/Red Son.
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 Batman. Having a card that "counters" Batman does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With[]
- Other Red Son Characters.
- Wonder Woman/Red Son: More power generation mean more opportunities to land an unblockable stun against opponents.
- Solomon Grundy/Red Son, Deathstroke/Red Son, and Green Lantern/Red Son: As stated above in the "Strategy" section.
- Characters and gear that benefit from stun, including but not limited to Batman/Insurgency, Hawkgirl/Earth 2, The Flash/Earth 2, etc.: Taking more of a support role, Batman's high chance for unblockable stun makes it especially easier for the stated characters to use their passives.
- Cloak of Destiny wielding teammates: Batman's chance to stun is higher than the Cloak's chance to stun on tag in, making it easier for the wielder of the Cloak to take advantage of the Cloak's other two effects.
- Batman/Batman Ninja: Since players commonly gear Batman Ninja Batman with the Cloak of Destiny, Red Son Batman's high chance of unblockable stun makes it easier to set opponents for Ninja Batman, allowing Ninja Batman to deal extraordinary amounts of damage with his "Way of the Blade" SP2.
- Batman/Arkham Knight: Same as above.
- Wonder Woman/New 52, Superman/New 52 and Shazam/New 52: Being a Justice League member, Batman has good synergy with them, especially with Wonder Woman.
Good Against[]
- Characters and Gear with health threshold passives and abilities (NOTE: These are especially situational and depends on Batman's teammates and gear loadouts)
- Raven/Prime: Batman can set a low damage stun, making it easier for teammates with one-shot nukes or heavy damage last hits (Batman/Arkham Knight, Batman/Batman Ninja, etc.) to KO Raven without activating her annoyingly, deadly passive.
- Green Lantern/John Stewart: Same as above as it avoids the Emergency Barrier John provides to himself and his teammates.
- Astro-Harness: Same as above as it avoids the invulnerability and the power shield provided by the harness.
- Static/Prime and Nightwing/Batman Ninja: Batman and his Red Son teammates may land unblockable SP1s, preventing them from gaining power from blocked special attacks.
- Characters with low health: The unblockable stun will leave them open to incoming attacks.
Countered By[]
- Superman/Blackest Night: The immunity to unblockable attacks render Batman's passive useless.
- Green Lantern/Red Son and Batman/Beyond: Unblockable stun means nothing to Batman and Green Lantern as they both have stun immunity, with the latter sharing it with other Red Son teammates.
- Black Adam/Prime & Black Adam/Regime: With their shields up, Batman would damage himself if he uses his specials against them. This is particularly more danger against Black Adam/Regime as Batman would receive double damage back from his SP1 (especially if it lands unblocked or breaks block).
- Superman/Injustice 2, Reverse Flash, Batman/Dawn of Justice and Wally West/Rebirth: They can evade or negate special attacks.
- Characters and gears than can drain power or decrease power generation: They make it harder for Batman and his Red Son teammates to perform unblockable SP1.
