ATROCITUS
​

Introduction

This is the first real guide I've made, and is going to be a work in progress. I'll try to keep this post updated as frequently as possible. Constructive criticism is welcome.

One of the new Characters introduced in Injustice 2. Atrocitus'' main strengths are range, pressure, and heavy hitting combos. Allowing him to be a threat at all ranges. This is only further emphasized when trait is active.

Below I'll go through each of Atrocitus' Strings, Specials, and Combos. Detailing how each should and can be used, as well as what's optimal at the time.

______________________________________________________________________________​

Leads into:

  • 111, a Mid ender, +3 on block.
  • 112, ends in Low, -8 on block.
  • 1123, 23 both being a low, -11 on block.
1, 11, 111, and 112 can all be special canceled.

______________________________________________________________________________

Leads into:
  • F12, -1 on block.
  • F123, -1 on block.
  • F13, ends Overhead, -1 on block, is a hard knockdown (I believe).
F1, F12 can be special canceled. F123 can only be canceled into BF1 (Rage Charge), the last hit (3) can be back dashed.

________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________

Leads into:

------Now introducing DEX-STARR!!!------

Dex-Starr is the trait that Atrocitus has. Below I have listed what Dex-Starr grants you.

1. By pressing 4 Dex-Starr will shoot a Blood Ball which is +30 on block. Good for ending a game. Extends combos.

2. By pressing f4 Dex-Starr will grant you a Blood Wall which is +32 on block, also absorbs one projectile. This helps you get in on your opponent. Extends combos.

3. By pressing d4 Dex-Starr will use Hate Pounce which is a mid. If it connects it will do damage over time to your opponent. Restands opponent leaving you at +6

4. Having Dex-Starr summoned introduces 3 new strings.
F1233: 11f mid launcher, -4 on block
223: 10f mid launcher, -2 on block
B233: 14f mid, mid, low, +5 on block (personal favorite)

Dex-Starr is used for several things.

1. PRESSURE!!!!!!!
2. Extending combos
3. Keeping unsafe moves safeish. (Opponent can MB b3/f3 to punish the Blood-Nado move)
4. Getting in on your opponent
5. Zoning, which can kill an opponent with critical health easily.

HOW TO PRESSURE!
Here is some examples on how to pressure your opponent. Timing is easy to learn in practice. Keep in mind that Blood Ball is +30. THE FOLLOWING IS WHILE THE OPPONENT IS BLOCKING

f223xxbf2, delay, 4 (+30) f223xxbf2, 4 (+30) and repeat

B233 (+5) f123, f4 (+32) and continue pressure

It's a good idea to condition your opponent with (f223xxbf2) because you can condition them to block the overhead and do the Blood Nado instead (f22xxdb1) and extend the Blood Nado with Dex-Starr. Below is an example

Blocked F223xxbf2, 4, f22xxdb1, (The db1 hits) 4, b23xxdb1, 4, b23xxbf1.

I never use the whole f223 string because I don't want to knock them down

DEX-STARR COMBOS
Note that you can end some midscreen combos in (b23, f2) for the restand and a +32 shield.
You can end some corner combos in (b23xxbf2) for a restand that's +11

POTH makes me question my sexuallity
Yes I know. But I have never seen anyone use FFRT. Most people call it a bounce cancle or just a b3/f3MB since if its aftera f233 string, it gotta be a cancle
