In a fighting game, especially those with characters that have established histories and fan bases like the DC-skinned Injustice 2, everyone will have their favorite characters. As much as you might want to play certain heroes, the reality of the fighting game meta is that certain characters will generally come out on top given equal skill. That’s not to say that a skilled fighter can’t take one of the weaker characters and really make them shine, but going with characters that just have plain better stats for your playstyle may give you that little edge you need to keep on top of the game. We’ve compiled a list (courtesy of vg247) of the best Injustice 2 characters over a variety of categories so you can match your playstyle to the best characters available.

Strength

Strength determines the damage each character does with their basic attacks. Obviously gear can boost these stats, but this list shows the top-tier champions by base stats alone. Choose a character on this list if you want to pummel people to death.

  • Atrocitus
  • Bane
  • Darkseid
  • Gorilla Grodd
  • Scarecrow

Ability

This list represents the Injustice 2 characters with the highest Ability score. While Strength determines the power of basic attacks, Ability represents the power of special attacks. Go with an Ability character if you want your damage to come mainly from your unique attacks rather than basic kicks and punches.

  • Aquaman
  • Atrocitus
  • Bane
  • Batman
  • Black Adam
  • Black Canary
  • Blue Beetle
  • Brainiac
  • Captain Cold
  • Catwoman
  • Cheetah

As important as being able to beat down your foes is, staying alive through your foe’s onslaught in Injustice 2 is also crucial. The next two categories will give you a sense of the beefiest characters that will let you last as long as possible in the ring.

Defense

Defense determines how much damage you take while blocking. This list should give you an idea of the best blockers in the game.

  • Aquaman
  • Black Adam
  • Brainiac
  • Cyborg
  • Firestorm
  • Green Lantern
  • Supergirl
  • Superman
  • Swamp Thing
  • Wonder Woman

Health

This final category shows the characters with the highest health pools. After all, if you health bar in Injustice 2 is totally depleted, you lose. Picking a character with higher health is a good idea – especially if you’re newer to the fighting genre.

The top health pool in the game goes to Darkseid. No other Injustice 2 character matches him in this category, but in the interest of variety and lists we’ve included the second tier too.

  • Atrocitus
  • Bane
  • Batman
  • Captain Cold
  • Catwoman
  • Deadshot
  • Doctor Fate
  • Gorilla Grodd
  • Green Arrow
  • Harley Quinn
  • Joker
  • Poison Ivy
  • Scarecrow

You’ll notice that many characters are featured more than once on these lists, some are featured many times. While there’s more in Injustice 2 tiers than simple base stats, it’s definitely a consideration. If you really have no favorites, maybe try going with a hero featured on multiple of our tier lists and see where that gets you. Are you guys enjoying Injustice 2?

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
