Injustice 2 Bane Guide
Playing as Bane
In Injustice 2, Bane has received some changes to his 1, 1, 2. He cannot only end the string with an overhead but can also dash-cancel it. This is a good tool to force your opponents into whiffing their attacks. Apart from this, Bane has a lot of throws that he can land at the end of his strings. Moreover, he is pretty good at zoning enemies.
Personally, I think Bane’s biggest strength is also his weakness which is his Character Power called Venom Boost. Bane’s Character Power allows him to dose himself with one, two, or three levels of Venom. Depending on the level of Venom, Bane acquires additional damage and adds armor to his Special Attacks. When the Venom Boost wears off, Bane becomes weak. During this period, he receives increased damage, moves at a slower speed, and deals less damage.
Due to this, you need to try to inflict as much damage as possible with his Venom Boost and try not to receive any damage during the weakened state. Lastly, Bane’s super is fullscreen and you can use it punish long-ranged characters such as Deadshot and Dr. Fate.
