Injustice 2 Hints on Xbox One (X1)

Here are our Hints for Injustice 2 on Xbox One. The most trustworthy items get the most 'thumbs up' from our users and appear nearer the top!

Use Story Mode to Test the Roster
Using Story Mode is the easiest way to figure out which character is going to best suit your fighting style. Not all the characters are playable in the battles, but you will soon learn your preferences. 

The Gear Stats Don’t Count Online
When playing in Injustice 2’s netcode, any gear or special buffs that the player would attain from the Story campaign, The Multiverse, or the Mother Box is removed to even the odds online. So get used to fighting without relying on certain buffs. 

Don’t Waste Supermoves
With every character, there is a Supermove meter that allows you to use a Supermove unique to each fighter to use on their opponent. However, this move is dissipated when the character takes damage. To use this move to its optimum potential, if the player avoids escapes and just takes on the battle, they’ll be able to use up to two Supermoves and the best time to use these moves is when the player has knocked their opponent down to their second health bar. 

Don’t Do Big Combos When The Opponent’s Armor is Low
The player needs to be careful when the opponent’s armor is low because if the total damage of the player’s move is greater than the armor remaining of the opponent’s health bar, then only what’s left will be deducted, and not the full blow of the combo. Be wise and pay attention to the moves the player needs to make without wasting.

Escapes are Vital but Pricey
There are a variety of special moves the player can access to escape from a brutal beating during the fights, but most of the time, these escapes will leave the player in a vulnerable position and open to another attack. These escapes will also cost one segment of the Meter Burn, so weigh up your need to use the escape carefully. 

There are three Escapes: 

• Air Escape 
• Block Escape 
• Roll Escape

Some Clashes Are Worth Losing
There is a special feature in Injustice 2, just like its predecessor, that allows the player to be able to bet sections of their Meter to possibly win extra damage and health. This can only happen when both opponents have reached their second health bar, so the player needs to weigh up the options of whether it’s worth losing health in order to gain an opportunity to use a Supermove and deliver a powerful blow.

Canceling Combos Can Be A Good Thing
It sounds counterintuitive to stop dealing damage and cancel a combo, but in some cases, combos deliver less damage the longer they take. Although they look impressive, sometimes the player could be dealing more damage in more simple attacks. The player has approximately 30 to 40 frames to be able to cancel a combo (check the character moves list for exact times). 

Use a WakeUp Attack to Surprise The Opponent 
The WakeUp move is brilliant in online fights. This is a special counter-move that the player can only use when their character is lying on their back. Hold down the D/Left Analog stick to keep the opponent down and set up a WakeUp move.

Use the Multiverse to Mine For Gear
The Multiverse has challenges, very similar to the Mortal Kombat ladder, consisting of lists of opponents to defeat. The player needs to make sure the main character they used to fight with is at a high enough level to be able to compete. Rewards include extra gear, coins, and Mother Boxes.
