a 25% increase in the damage of the projectile because you are at lvl 1, you lose trait, and youll lose the dash if the projectile hits twice like batman or nightwing.

i know you take damage, and you cant do it on everyone. but sometimes its worth taking the damage to actually get in.

Finally ran into a Cyborg that knew what he was doing yesterday and it was like being hit by an A-bomb. Seemed like he had 3-4 projectiles on screen at all times. I had zero traction and he beat me near perfect 3 times in a row.

Normally I'll stick around and try to learn a match-up, but I just washed my hands. I don't think they intended Cyborg to be able to IA his shots so damn quickly and he'll probably be one of the first characters to get nerfed. If he IS working as intended? Well I guess it's time for everyone to switch to Cyborg.

Yeah, Lex is just one of the few characters that has 0 options against cyborg air projectile bs. All he can do is walk up in between shots and try to jump corps. charge/dash if you make a mistake

So fab has inspired me to use lex but i have a big problem with him. Does he have any armor on orbital strike, gravity mine, or lex probe when meter burned?

No armor, and they all come out in 70+ some odd frames, they're not free pressure tools. Only usable after a knockdown or your opponent is sleeping.

How does everyone feel about the Superman matchup?

I've not had that much difficulty against Supes (air heatvision gets well aquanited with Corp Charges :V) though I've not honestly fought any Superman who's rushdown felt like a threat. Trait can't really be used on him as willy nilly as some characters due to Supermans own trait but saving for if he wastes it or deliberately using it can make Superman act stupid in attempts to try and stuff Lex's armor. I've found that dropping a mine at my feet to stop his obvious approaches is a half decent way to force him to try take to the air for an easy Corp Charge or anti air combo.

What are Lex and Supermans main threats to one another?

I think Superman wins about 6-4. I don't think trait makes him try and break it tbh, he just plays his normal game and doesn't have to worry about your armor.

I finally feel confident enough in my MU experience to make a matchup chart for Lex. Remember, these are all my personal opinions and I am willing to listen to any reasoning behind disagreements you may have with my chart. I also will go in depth about my reasoning for any of these numbers if anyone wants me to clarify. I do not have enough experience with batgirl yet, so I will add her later.

Grundy 6-4

Bane 6-4 (possible 5-5)

Joker 4-6

Shazam 5-5

Sinestro 4-6

Flash 6-4

Arrow 5-5

Harley 4-6 (possible 3-7)

Lobo 6-4

Ares 5-5

Deathstroke 4-6 (possible 5-5)

Hawkgirl 6-4

Nightwing 4-6

Aquaman 4-6 (possible 5-5)

Frost 4-6 (possible 3-7)

Batman 5-5

Superman 3-7

Doomsday 5-5 (possibly 4-6)

Catwoman 5-5

Raven 3-7

Green Lantern 5-5

Wonder Woman 5-5

Cyborg 3-7

Black Adam 4-6

I would like to hear the logic behind the g.l matchup, don't want to get blown up in a tournament, and nobody I have played online plays lex.

LizardLard that mu chart is pretty solid man, my opinion on a few things would be GL lex wins 6-4, Raven is 5-5(maybe another 6-4 Lex), Nightwing i agree is easy 4-6 but in staff stance, Doomsday I think is 4-6.
