Moves like Ice Ball and Polar Puncture both freeze foes if they’re meter burned, while Ice Burt and Frost Hammer knock foes away when meter burned. One of his most powerful abilities is he can freeze opponents in place, allowing for a brief window to grab, ultimate, or begin a combo.
It’s absolutely important, but this character is more forgiving than other fighters like Red Hood or Catwoman. Unlike other fighters, Sub-Zero isn’t as reliant on nailing every one of his juggles and long combos in order to succeed. I typically like to end a string by throwing out a clone so I can back off and gain some space. Being able to deny and zone enemies is critical for Sub-Zero as it will give him some much-needed breathing room between combos. The latter is especially potent for fighters like Batman who can glide down, as the meter burned version of this produces a second clone behind the first. Try to predict your opponent’s movements, as you can drop ice clones both on the ground and in the air. When you’re not fighting, using this ability should always be in the back of your mind. If they touch an ice clone the opponent will freeze in place for a second, allowing players to lay on some damage. His ice clones are fantastic for zoning aggressive opponents like Bane or Atrocitus who want to close the gap with more nimble fighters. This is one of the fastest charging Character Powers in Injustice 2, so there is almost no reason to not use it liberally. They can be either then be destroyed, thrown, or used as a shield to block attacks/projectiles from opponents.

However, Boon has previously stated that he is open for the addition of Watchmen characters, so perhaps players may get the chance to wreck havoc as Doctor Manhattan and Rorschach at some point in the future.įor now though, the Injustice 2 spotlight is on Sub-Zero and based on what we've seen of the character so far, players can expect an icicle-filled time that will be equal parts entertaining and frustrating. As for what NetherRealm Studios have planned following the Fighter Pack Season Pass 1 DLC, the studio have kept relatively quiet in regards to upcoming new content. It was recently revealed that the popular fighting game was May's top-selling game in the US, and the upcoming addition of Sub-Zero will likely keep Injustice 2's recent run of momentum going.
Developer NetherRealm Studios have yet to reveal when the curtain will be pulled back on Starfire, but given how Red Hood was added in June and Sub-Zero in July, it is likely that players can expect the character at some point in August. With Sub-Zero's upcoming addition to the Injustice 2 roster, two of the three characters introduced in the brawler's Fighter Pack Season Pass 1 DLC have now been unveiled and Starfire remains the lone DLC fighter still waiting in the wings. With creative ways of outmaneuvering his opponents thanks to his ice powers, as well as the ability to go completely on the offensive when needed, Sub-Zero will be a welcome - and tricky - addition come July. The popular Mortal Kombat character was initially unveiled as a DLC character back in May alongside two other new characters, Red Hood and Starfire, and will be the first crossover character to be added to the popular DC brawler.Īs for what kind of carnage players can expect from Sub-Zero, the Mortal Kombat mainstay brings a fluid set of ice-based skills that enables him to more than hold his own against the roster of DC heroes. In a new tweet from the Injustice 2creative director, Boon borrowed a well-known Game of Thrones Winter reference to reveal that Sub-Zero will make his foray into the DC universe on July 11.
After finally introducing Mortal Kombat mainstay Sub-Zero into the Injustice 2 roster during E3 2017 last week, Ed Boon has come out and confirmed that the ice-loving character will be coming to the DC brawler in July.
