Injustice 2 has a ton of content. In our guide, we'll teach you about characters , controls , special moves , combos , gear, XP and stats and much more.Let’s look at the three basic attack buttons in Injustice 2 and what they do.The simple jab is generally your fastest attack. It’s good to start with these up close because in Injustice 2, the fastest attack always wins. However, a lot of light attacks hit high, meaning it’s easy to duck under them and counter. More on "high", "low" and so on later.The medium attack is a little slower and usually very close range, suitable mostly for a point blank attack when an opponent is just getting up. However, you can’t duck under most medium attacks, meaning they’re safe to attack with without much fear of reprisal.Mid attacks are generally a safe way to apply pressure, but to do real damage you’re going to have to take a chance on a riskier move eventually.The heavy attack is of course a big hit, slower than the other two. Other than that, the details vary a lot by character: It can be a big, long-range poke or a close strike that sends your opponent flying.Throws are what you use when you already know your opponent is going to block. Either use the designated throw button or press light attack and heavy attack at the same time to go for the grab, slamming your opponent for a respectable amount of damage.Every stage in Injustice 2 has background elements that you can pluck out of the background and use against your enemy.For example, in the Fortress of Solitude, you can knock your opponent into the statues in the background.Do this by pressing the Stage Interaction button or light and medium attack at the same time. There will usually be an on-screen prompt, like a glowing item or a button prompt underneath your life bar.Some items are unblockable, but others are not. It’s best to get to know all the stages and be aware of your position on the stage. If you don’t, you’ll get sucker punched all the time.Hold back to block the majority of attacks. You will take a little bit of damage from blocking (commonly referred to as "chip damage" for the tiny bits of life bar lost), and even this can be fatal.A standing guard will defend against everything but low attacks, throws and unblockable attacks.Hold down-back for a low guard. This will defend against low attacks, duck underneath high attacks, and defend against mid attacks. It sounds strong, but low guard loses completely to overheads, which players will usually follow up with a combo for huge damage. Low guard doesn’t save you from throws, either.Attacks in the air generally follow a similar pattern for most characters. The air light attack is fast, without much range. The air medium attack is average in speed and power. The air heavy attack is slow, hits hard and knocks your opponent into the air, opening up the possibility of a combo.If you’re fast about it, you have a chance to slip out of your opponent’s throw once it starts.
