Tips and tricks to play
Training is the basis of all mastery in any fighting game, but it is also necessary to take into account other little aids, tips and tricks to improve as players. We leave you some of them.
ADVERTISING
If you did not play Injustice: Gods Among Us, we encourage you to play the initial tutorial that welcomes us when you start playing.
- To quickly empower your characters, it is highly recommended to play Multiverse modeas much as possible and complete the daily challenges. In this way they will be able to acquire Mother Boxes and accessories for your characters in a relatively simple way.
- Don’t miss out on the Super Movement. To make sure your opponent gets it right, try hitting it right at the end of a combo chain.
- Similarly, never waste a Super Move when your opponent has very little energy left from the first of his two stamina bars.
- At the beginning it is highly advisable to play with different charactersto find out which of them best suit your style. Each of those who are part of the campus is very different so do not be afraid to experiment.
- Make the most of the interactive objects and elementsthat the scenarios have (button R1). It is a simple way both to escape depending on what situations as well as to attack opponents without exposing ourselves too much.
- The Movements Cargadosare very useful is some situations. It is worth sacrificing your Super Move for the use of these blows in the most balanced fights.
- Many times it is convenient to start attacking your opponents with the light attack to open your defenseand, later, try to inflict more damage based on combos.
- One way to know exactly your real level is to play online periodicallyagainst new rivals.
- In the face of faster characters such as Cheetah or Catwoman,try to reduce as much as possible the performance of movements that have a high degree of recovery or you will be very exposed to their counterattacks.
- Also, try to keep your distance against fighters who dominate melee like Bane because otherwise you will most likely end up losing the fight.
- Take advantage of transitions between scenarios. In specific places in the sets, if you hit the adversary with a good blow, you will send him to another place … subtracting a lot of healthdue to the crashes and mishaps that he will suffer during the same.
- Try to make the opponent never feel comfortable. To do this, try to pressure him with ranged attacks or approaching him with an approach dash.
- Always keep in mind that you can use the special abilityof each fighter with the circle button. Use it wisely because it sometimes makes a lot of difference.
- Never let the rival corner you. Do not give ground because otherwise you will end up on one of the sides cornered … and probably kissing the ground.
- At the beginning, try to manage a single characterand learn their basic combos. From there, expand your knowledge.
- Join a Guild. It’s the best way to get rewarded with the least effort. The more active he is, the better.
- Try to memorize the movements of all the characters to try to act more quickly before their actions.
- One of the most important aspects of the game is the customization of the fightersand the improvement of their skills with the help of the pieces of equipment. Do not forget to dress your character with these objects.
Controls (Based on DualShock 4)
Before even starting to fight, it is advisable to memorize the basic controls that the title includes by default. Of course, keep in mind that it is possible to modify them at any time in the corresponding options screen and customize them as we see fit.
Direction / Left Stick : Both the left control lever and the digital crosshead allow us to move towards our opponent or run away from him, as well as jumping forward and backward as well as doing it in the same position in which we find ourselves (neutral jump ). To block high and mid-height attacks we must press back, and to protect ourselves from blows at ground level it is necessary to press the diagonal down / back. And to this are added the rapid movements or dash moves forward and backward, which are executed by pressing the same direction twice (right or left).
- Square Button: Light Attack.
- Triangle Button: Medium Attack.
- X button: Strong Attack.
- Circle Button: Character Power.
- R1 button: Interact with objects on the stage.
- Button R2: Meter Consumption (Charged Attacks).
- L1 button: Launch (Grab).
- L2 button: Rotate character position.
Throw or Grab
It is possible to catch the opponents using both the L1 button and also pressing the square and x buttons at the same time. And depending on the direction that we hold down when doing it, we will send the rival to one or the other side of the stage.
Character Power
All the protagonists have a special ability that is activated by pressing the circle button. Each one is different and depends on each fighter, although in most of the times once activated it is necessary to allow a few moments to be able to use it again (except isolated cases such as the Blue Beetle and its blades, for example).
Charged Attacks
Many of the characters’ special moves can be boosted. To achieve this, we must first have at least a full portion of the meter in the lower part (Super Movement) and, to activate it, we must press the R2 button just before making said special movement.
Super Movements
The super movements are triggered by pressing R2 and L2 at the same time as long as we have fully loaded (the squares) the meter located at the bottom. Each of these actions is unique for each protagonist and for it to be successful it must fully impact the adversaries. Drastically reduces the health of opponents.
In addition, if during these sequences we press the strong attack button in sync with the blows that are taking place during said scenes, we can slightly increase (or reduce, if we are the ones who are suffering said attack) the damage caused by said action.
Screen elements
The screen HUD displayed by Injustice 2 follows the pattern exhibited in many other similar games, enjoying a fairly clean design . This is all you need to know about its on-screen indicators and icons .
Energy Meter
This bar indicates the remaining health of each of the fighters and is shown in the upper left (player 1) and right (player 2) of the image, just below the name of the protagonists. In this case it is a double bar, the first being gray and the second and final red. If it runs out, You Lose!
Time remaining
It shows us the seconds that remain until the stipulated time for each confrontation runs out. If he reaches I believe and no fighter has managed to beat the rival, the one who maintains a higher energy level will win . It is reflected right in the top center of the screen.
Character Name and Level
In addition to the name of the character we control and the opponent in front of us, right next to him his level is also indicated. The higher it is, the higher its basic characteristics.
Super Movement Indicator
In the lower left (player 1) and right (player 2) the energy indicator for the super movement and the attacks of the fighters is housed . This meter is divided into four portions that fill up as we attack and receive damage and, each time one is filled, it allows us to make a charged attack for space attacks, slightly boosting them. And when is it possible to execute the super move? Well, when the four portions are completely full, which will be indicated immediately through a text.
Skill Icon
Right next to the previous indicator and in a more centered area are the energy meters of the special ability of each fighter. Depending on each character, its symbol varies but, in general, after using it, it is necessary to allow a few seconds for said energy bar to automatically recharge again and allow us to use this unique ability of each protagonist once more.
Game modes
Injustice 2 is a title that houses a very striking amount of both game modes and options. An authentic recital that can keep you entertained for a long time, whether playing alone or online.
History mode
During a dozen chapters we can enjoy the war established between Batman and Superman and their different allies, a confrontation to which Brainiac joins. For about three or four hours we can contemplate a multitude of high-quality video scenes that are punctuated by combats in which we take sides.
This option offers a certain degree of replayability due to the fact that some episodes are carried out by two characters instead of one (the usual), being necessary to choose to enter combat with one or the other and thus experience different scenes. In other words, to see everything that this option offers us (including the last alternate episode) it is necessary to play it more than once.
Simple Combat
The typical Player vs CPU mode that allows us to select our fighter and opponent, their difficulty level (among five possible) as well as the scenario in which we want to fight and some additional features such as activating or not the interactive elements of the backgrounds, the transitions between scenarios, handicap, etc.
Multiverse mode
One of the most suggestive and long-lived modalities of all those who have the title. Six planets are permanently available, places where we can overcome different challenges that they offer us.
The grace is that all of them (except one) are substantially exchanging their objectives every certain number of hours, so we always enjoy a certain freshness and incentives to return. And every time we meet a goal, we are rewarded with money, character add-ons, and Mother Boxes. In addition, we can always know the level of difficulty of each challenge because it is well reflected in the description of it.
The only planet that remains unchanged is the so-called Earth 1154, commonly known as Combat Simulator which, as its name suggests, is an ideal place to train with our fighters.
Practice
To memorize the attacks and actions of the protagonists it is necessary to spend many hours training . In this mode it is also possible to determine the behavior of the CPU, being able to choose between different options such as its movement, blocking, reinstatement, etc.
Tutorial
Essential for all those who are new to the world of Injustice , the different tutorials explain in a practical way the details of the game system, controls and operation of the title.
Versus
One of the three multiplayer modes that the serial game boasts. It is the same modality as explained before in Simple Combat, but for two players locally.
Combat Simulator
Another multiplayer option that Injustice 2 presents . It is one of the most curious, since in this case we must create a group of characters controlled by the CPU to face other rivals.
Tournament
Organizing tournaments is always funny and is a good way to show who is the best when there are friends involved. Of course, it does not offer any type of reward so that these competitions lose something of interest.
Online
The online mode that the game presents and one of the options that you will visit the most times. This option includes several different options such as Player Match (random fights that do not count in the ranking), Ranked Match (matches that do affect our ranking), Private Match (similar to the first but we play against whoever we want) or the possibility to create or enter Rooms.
Customize Characters
This option allows us to equip the fighters with the accessories that we have been getting during the game. And not only that, since it is also possible to select new special abilities as well as to choose their appearance, there are also several skins for some characters.
Brother Eye Camera
Here it is possible to open or decode the Mother Boxes that we have been obtaining both by playing alone and by being part of a Guild, which can be of five different classes. And not only that, since it is also possible to visualize the equipment we have as well as transform or regenerate it.
Guilds
A very interesting feature that allows us to create or join a team or guild and thus enjoy the advantages that playing as a team provides us. An ideal way to overcome the toughest challenges in Multiverse mode.
Character customization
If this title stands out for something above other similar games, it is because it offers incredibly wide customization options . As we fight we get different gears or accessories for the fighters that improve their statistics in very specific fields such as Strength, Ability, Health and Defense.
In addition to this, certain objects also have some complementary attributes and bonuses , such as being more efficient against certain enemies, increasing experience gains, etc. Of course, it is necessary to bear in mind that some items can only be equipped when we reach a certain level of experience. Up to 100 of these different items can be stored, and if we have any left over, we can sell them for extra money.
These objects are of all kinds and there are hundreds of them different, which are included in five different categories, which are the following.
Head
Helmets, hoods, protectors, masks and other elements that serve as defense of the head can be acquired and collected throughout the game. There are really striking.
Torso
In this case we can find armor, bodices, overalls, shells, breastplates and other clothing that protect the protagonists in different ways.
Arms
The upper extremities can also be protected by all kinds of objects such as bracers, gloves, wrist cannons or shoulder guards.
Legs
And the same happens with the legs, in which case they can be protected by pants, shin guards, boots, shorts, shorts and other garments.
Accessory
In this case, the possibilities are even more open since in this space it is possible to improve the rivals based on certain special objects for each of them, whether they are rifles for Deadshot, flashlights for Green Lantern, Blasters for Captain Cold or whips for Catwoman.
Special abilities
It is also possible to implement up to two additional abilities for the characters, which it is also possible to get as we play. However, on some occasions it is only possible to use one if it is too powerful, since in this case it will occupy the two spaces provided for this task.
Appearances
The protagonists can also change their external appearance with the different shaders or appearances that can also be collected during the game. And pay attention, that in some cases very interesting surprises await us such as alternative versions of existing characters such as Flash and Reverse Flash, Captain Cold and Mr. Freeze, Green Lantern and John Stewart or Cyborg and Grid. You are going to find many surprises!
Mother Boxes
Many of the garments and accessories to customize the fighters that you will find throughout the game will be housed inside the so-called Mother Boxes. Said Boxes can be opened in the Brother Eye Camera option and can be of five different classes: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond. The more valuable these are, the better objects it will include inside … such as accessories classified as epic.
