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% |
Passive[]
While his base stats are quite poor (lowest damage/total stats and tied lowest health with Deathstroke/Red Son) among Red Son characters, however, when teamed with two Red Son characters, he will grant the entire team +45% maximum health, as compared to Lex Luthor/Krypto's 30% (and one Red Son can be swapped for Lex Luthor to add +60% maximum health total if so wished). His special 2, Dead's Blood, has a chance of stunning his opponent and its damage is not penalized.
Solomon Grundy and his Red Son teammates.
He is commonly teamed with Wonder Woman/Red Son and Superman/Red Son, all of which are received from buying a Red Son Pack, for a cheap, effective and readily available team. The pack's effectiveness has greatly diminished after the 2.6 update however, as now it gives 3 random characters instead of 3 guaranteed characters, making it much harder to elite your team. While he is largely overshadowed by Green Lantern/Red Son in terms of both stats and overall defensive capability, the two together are often teamed to form a highly durable defense team that can be a real nuisance to beat.
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 Solomon Grundy. Having a card that "counters" Solomon Grundy does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With[]
- Other Red Son Characters.
- Deathstroke/Red Son: On a full Red Son team, Deathstroke will grant all his comrades with a 15% attack speed boost. This can turn Grundy into an offensive tank.
- Batman/Red Son: Batman's unblockable chance on SP1 is good news for Grundy's slow-starting Cleaver Spin.
- Green Lantern/Red Son: This is particularly effective because their different defensive mechanics stack multiplicatively instead of additively, giving their team effectively an 81.25% boost to maximum health against specials (although it is impossible to calculate their effectiveness against basic attacks due to variance of crits).
- The Flash/Regime: The 15% speed boost can aid Grundy's slow basic attacks. The Flash also benefits from Grundy's Health boost.
- Shazam/New 52: With 2 Red Son characters, he can give Shazam a 30% max health boost, making it much harder to avoid Shazam's passive. This is especially useful in Online Battles, where the health boost doesn't count towards the stats listed on the cards, making the opponents much more likely to face very tanky teams with hidden health.
Good Against[]
- Characters with passive that trigger on enemy Knockout: His massive health boost for the team makes it much harder for them to defeat him and his comrades, especially when teamed with Green Lantern/Red Son.
Countered By[]
- Fast characters like The Flash due to his slow speed.
- Batgirl/Cassandra Cain: Her tag-in attacks deal damage based on health percentage.
- Raven/Prime: Same as the above, her health swaps are based on health percentage.
- Gears that deal DOT based on enemies' health percentage such as The Ibistick, League of Assassins Adept Blade, Heart Of Darkness, and LexCorp Helmet V2.

Trivia[]

- In conjunction with the Soviet Union theme of Red Son, he uses a sickle instead of his cleaver in some attacks.
