Tier Rating:
Type: Bruiser Fighting Style: Vertical Difficulty: Medium Cost: 1000 Gleamium or 3000 Fighter Currency Default Tags: Caped, Human, Detective, Heroic |
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
✔︎ Kit moves that can stack weakened
✔︎ Can consistently knock enemies in the air ✔︎ Combos are fairly straightforward |
✖︎ Melee combat focused
✖︎ No reliable gap closer |
Batman's melee-focused combat coupled with the weakened stacks you get with his passive make him one of the best fighters in the game.
This character is great for players starting out or have some experience with the game as the combos, while it takes some time to get used to, can easily ring out opponents even at lower damage ratings.
| Command | Move | Description | How to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral (Neutral + Attack) |
Batarang |
Charge and throw a Batarang Item. It can be aimed during flight and will return shortly. Cooldown applies. Cooldown is reduced if the Batarang returns. On cooldown, Batman throws an overhand punch. | Can be used as a regular ranged attack but can also be utilized when running towards enemies to start combos. |
| Side (Side (Hold) + Attack) |
 Slide Kick |
Batman does a sliding kick combo. | You can use this to approach oppenents with an attack or as a means to knock them off the platform. |
| Side (Side + Attack) |
Furious Flurry |
A combo of punches ending in an uppercut. | This is Batman's basic combo attack that ends with your opponent getting knocked in the air. You can follow up with Clear The Air or Flying Uppercut to ring your opponent out. |
| Up (Up + Attack) |
Clear The Air |
Charge an overhead swing. On hit, applies 1 stack of weakened. | Use this to knock your opponent into the air. If your opponent has enough damage, you can combo this with Flying Uppercut for a ring out. |
| Down (Down + Attack) |
Crime Sweeper |
Charge a leg sweep attack that breaks armor. On hit, applies 1 stacks of weakened. | Use this in combos to do a small knock up to opponents. Good to combo with attacks that stack weakened such as Crime Sweeper. |
| Neutral (Neutral + Special) |
Bat-Bomb |
Equip a Bat-Bomb, cooldown applies, and hit an enemy with an attack afterward to attach the Bat-Bomb. The bomb will detonate shortly, and launch the victim upward. Throwing a Batarang while the bomb is equipped will attach the bomb, and the cooldown is reduced if that Batarang returns. On cooldown, Batman equips gloves that make him electrified. | Use this before approaching opponents as you can chain moves to keep them in the air. |
| Side (Side + Special) |
 Grapple Snipe |
Batman will aim and then fire his grappling hook gun, attaching it to fighters or the environment. The grapple will pull him to its destination and he will hit enemies along the way. | This can be used to interrupt charges or to recover to the platform when falling. |
| Up (Up + Special) |
Rising Bat |
Batman can Charge an uppercut that launches him in the air. | You can use this to launch yourself and opponents in the air, allowing for an easy follow up for aerial combos. |
| Down (Down + Special) |
Smoke Bomb |
Batman detonates a smoke bomb, creating a smoke hazard that envelops fighters. Cooldown applies. While in smoke, Batman and his allies are given invisibility, receive projectile sidestep, and begin to recharge their dodge meter. On cooldown, Batman still detonates a smoke bomb that knocks back enemies, but the smoke is not created. | This is great with moves that can close gaps such as Slide Kick as you can start combos while not giving your opponent enough time to react. |
Batman's down special is a great tool in-game as this not only hide you and your ally from opponents, but also lets you dodge any projectile attacks while inside it. His neutral special Bat-Bomb is another useful item as this is guaranteed damage to any enemies hit.
| Command | Move | Description | How to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral (Neutral + Attack) |
 Aerial Batarang |
Same as ground. | Same as ground. |
| Side (Side + Attack) |
Shadow Jab |

| Up (Up + Attack) |

| Side (Side + Special) |
 Grapple Snipe |

| Up (Up + Special) |
Rapid Rising Bat |
Similar to Rising Bat, but without Charge. | Same as ground. |
| Down (Down + Special) |
Crashing Justice |
Batman dive kicks to the ground, controlling his direction as he goes. | Can be used when trying to ring out opponents especially when they try to recover to the platform. |
Batman's aerial moves give him a lot of options of ringing out enemies vertically. His up attack and up special can catch enemies by surprise especially when reaching above 70 damage.
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| Ninja Training | While invisible, Batman's attacks apply 2 stacks of weakened. Batman can dodge upward from the ground. |
When Batman is invisible either by his own Smoke Bomb or through other means, he stacks weakened much faster. This is what makes him very tricky to deal with as the weakened stacks can go unnoticed when combo'd well.
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ Bouncerang |
Hitting an enemy with the Batarang while it is returning to Batman will apply 3 stacks of weakened. | This perk can stack weakened faster when combined with moves such as Crime Sweeper and Clear The Air, allowing you to get increased damage and greater knockback more frequently. |
| ★★★★☆ Precision Grapple |
Batman's grappling hook reels him in faster and emits a powerful blast when Batman arrives at his destination. However, Batman deals no damage or knockback while the grappling hook reels him in. | This perk allows you to recover quicker when falling from platforms or when reeling enemies in. |
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ Press the Advantage |
Your team applies a stack of weakened when knocking back enemies that are above 125 damage. If your teammate also selects this perk, weakaned is applied above 110 damage instead. | Batman's kit features many moves that can apply the weakened debuff. Combining this with the Bouncerang perk further increases the benefit of this effect. |
| ★★★★☆ Pugilist |
Your melee attacks deal increased damage. | Batman's combos mainly consist of melee attacks so equipping this perk allows for increased damage output. |
| ★★★☆☆ Last Stand |
While you have at least 100 damage, knocking back enemies applies weakened. | This perk adds more chances for you to apply the weakened debuffs. You can use moves that knock back such as Furious Flurry to apply this when you are at least 100 damage. |
| ★★☆☆☆ Speed Force Assist |
You receive 5% increased base movement speed. | This can provide you with additional movement speed that can help you while waiting for cooldowns for your Smoke Bomb or Bat-Bomb. |
|
| Aerial Down + Attack ► Up + Attack ► Aerial Up + Attack ► Up + Special |
|---|
This is a basic vertical combo that lets you juggle opponents in the air. You can follow up with a chain of combos if you time the Grapple Snipe move right. The combo deals 28 damage against opponents without using any perks.
|
| Down + Attack ► Side + Attack ► Aerial Up + Attack ► Aerial Up + Special |
|---|
Another basic horizontal to vertical combo that inflicts Weakened on opponents. If you want to chain more combos, you can Neutral + Special to equip a Bat-Bomb and launch the opponent upward. The combo deals 29 damage against opponents without using any perks.
 |
| Neutral + Attack ► Side + Special ► Aerial Up + Special |
|---|
A combo that inflicts Weakened on opponents using the Batarang move. The debuff lets you knock off opponents from the map once you use the Rising Bat as a finisher move.
Batman's Vertical Fighting style benefits from his grappling hook, which allows him to move across the arena quickly while attacking enemies.
A great combo that ends with an uppercut, allowing for follow-up attacks.
Batman's Batarang and Bat-Bomb can be used to attack foes from a distance when you need some breathing room while Grapple Snipe and Slide Kick can be used to effectively close the distance while being on the offensive.
Batman's gadgets, while useful, have a Cooldown period. Using these in tandem with Batman's physical combos will allow you to continue to apply pressure while always having a tool on hand.

The Caped Crusader and defender of Gotham City known only as Batman was born the night that a young Bruce Wayne saw his parents gunned down in front of him. Since that day, he has pledged to battle crime and protect the people of Gotham City. Despite having no superpowers or extraordinary abilities, his dedication, willpower, and intelligence have helped him stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the universe’s greatest heroes. His arsenal of cutting-edge gadgets funded by his family fortune doesn’t hurt, either.
