Everyone has already heard about the superhero fighting game "injustice: Gods Among Us" from the NetherRealms studio, famous for its console "Mortal Kombat". As with MK, Injustice is a console game with advanced graphics, a combat system, a bunch of characters and other goodies, but that's not about it. In support of the older version, the iOS version of the game was released, which is exclusive, yes, Android, as always, is in flight. Many have probably already passed it, but for those who have difficulties, I will share useful tips for passing this rather controversial game.
So, here I will talk about some tips that will help the players.
1. Additional content
If you have a licensed console version, then you know that by playing the mobile and console versions of the game, you can open additional content, respectively, both there and there. All you have to do is log in with your WB ID on the mobile version.
2. Buying characters
The game is made according to the now fashionable freemium model, and therefore the prices for characters are exorbitant by the standards of the game, for example, Superman costs 220 thousand game coins, while in battles you will earn from 200-1.5 thousand. So consider how much time it will take for such earnings. But there is a way out.
As practice shows, most of today's gamers are simply inattentive. So here. In the game store, there is a section called “Boost Packs” where you can save a lot of money.
Only 3 sets: bronze, silver and gold. The set consists of one character (bronze, silver or gold, respectively) and two power-up cards, that is, cards for upgrading super blows and power-ups for character statistics.
Save 100 thousand and get, for example, such a set, while saving about 90 thousand. Not bad, right?
And I advise you to save up for gold sets, or at least for silver ones.
3. Pumping characters
Download characters as you go, not really thinking about tactics, but when you open the last page with battles, the most profitable for making money and pumping levels is the first battle. It is there that you earn money for gold sets, otherwise you will not go any further.
The maximum level of the character is 40. But there are 5 more elite levels that are pumped when you buy another card of the same character.
Maxing out a character means: leveling it up to level 40, buying it 5 times, thereby pumping it up to 5 elite, pumping all super hits and buying cards to increase statistics. Sounds scary, but it's pretty easy to do. 🙂
4. Infinite energy
Since the game is distributed free of charge, of course, the energy of the characters is spent on battles, which is restored over time. At the beginning, the battles require little energy, and as you progress, the amount of energy consumed increases. BUT! There is an exit! And he is simple.
As soon as the energy runs out, just turn off the game
You change the date. And, voila, the energy is restored.
And so repeat as much as necessary, but I do not advise going far by date. Better after you have restored energy 5 times in this way, restore it again and then return the real date. Then start the cycle again.
IMPORTANT: change either the time or the date, but not the year!
That's all the advice. I hope they will help you in passing this fighting game.
So, the story mode is over, and you have already figured out which of the characters will be your favorite and which one to keep in reserve. It's time to break into the "Multiverse" and spend a dozen hours getting the coveted equipment for your superhero, and then prove yourself in multiplayer. But before you do that, let's get a little familiar with the science behind Injustice 2.
FRAME MECHANICS
Let's go over the principle of operation of the main unit for measuring the time of strikes and combinations in the game - frames. Most fighting games run with punch animations at 60 frames (frames) per second. If you lay out the animation like a book, then sixty pages flipped through in a second will ultimately amount to exactly a second of character movement. It is on the basis of this value that all the statistics of strikes in Injustice 2 work, carefully folded in a plate on the right side of the screen in the combination view menu.
Movement type (move type): accordingly, there are four types of attack - low (low), medium (mid), high (high) and from above (overhead). Depending on the direction, a standing or sitting block will be required.
Damage and damage per block (damage / block damage) will tell you the amount of damage inflicted directly and through blocking the opponent.
For those who use equipment in combat, the caption “move affected by ... stat” will be useful, meaning that the impact or combination indicators will change depending on the equipped equipment and a certain parameter.
Now let's move on to the most basic, complex and important - to the frame statistics themselves. There are six indicators here. Let's consider each of them.
Start-up (preparation)- the time before the strike, which the character uses to prepare.
Active (active phase)- the number of frames, including the animation of a hit or combination. In other words, duration.
Recover (recovery)- the number of frames that are spent on returning to the initial combat position of the character after striking or working out a combination.
blockadv. (advantage in block)- the number of frames that the character has in stock immediately after the opponent blocks a blow or combination. A negative number means that the advantage is on the opponent's side.
Hit adv. (strike advantage)- the number of frames in stock that the character has in order to continue the combination or strike the next blow.
Cancel- the number of frames that are spent to cancel a combination or strike, subject to the availability of the cancel option as such.
Hard? Let's look at an example to make everything clear. Let's say you chose a character combination with the following stats:
11 frames for preparation;
5 frames per active phase;
52 recovery frames;
35 frames in block advantage;
28 frames in hit advantage;
62 frames to cancel.
Fighting games require more than the talent to quickly press the buttons. It turns out that being able to count is also vital
It takes 1160 seconds to set up a strike, or about 18ms, which is very fast; the strike itself takes only 5 frames, which makes it almost lightning fast, and therefore difficult to block; 52 frames to recover is a very long time, almost a second, which means that the opponent can punish you very severely for a miss; a negative value of -35 in the advantage of the block, and even such a large one, indicates that, being blocked, the blow will immediately give the enemy the opportunity to counterattack without any problems; any strike from your character's list that takes less than 28 frames to prepare can become a continuation in a combo; 62 frames of cancellation is a heavy price to pay if you want to abruptly change tactics and cancel the reception in the process.
All of the fair sex in Injustice 2 is fast and deadly. Frames are counted in tenths of a second
All combinations and combinations with transitions for all characters are built on this system. That is why the ability to read frames is key if you want to reach the heights of mastery. Now that you have an idea of how to read moves, it's time to talk about tactics. We won't cover huge volumes about the behavior of this or that character in battle, but we will outline in general terms what you should pay attention to during the game.
TIME OF HEROES
Characters are conditionally divided into several categories: heavy or light, ranged, melee or mixed combat fighters, opponent control specialists or massive combinations. A variety of combat tactics and special moves allows you to choose a superhero to suit your playing style.
Heavy heroes, such as Gorilla Grodd or Bane, move for a very long time and hit slowly, but this is compensated by incredible damage, subject to the correct calculation of blows and super moves. They are hard to fight, and can often only be won by having a more mobile character: it is important not to give the opponent any opportunity to go into a long combo.
Ranged fighters like Deadshot or Green Arrow (to a lesser extent) prefer to keep their enemies at a distance, only occasionally getting close to once again push the enemy and continue to fire. Probably, it is this type of hero that most infuriates beginners who have not yet realized how to use the environment of the levels.
Controlling the roots of the Swamp Thing is a difficult task, but a player who has mastered it will create a lot of problems for the opponent, wherever he may be.
Control Specialists like Swamp Thing or Captain Cold actively use their moves to turn the opponent's position against them and prevent them from moving, and then successfully finish them off with a super move or combo. Again, the problem is solved by a mobile character (preferably with a teleporter) and the correct calculation of recovery after long strikes.
No matter how hard you burn the enemy with a heavy look, he is unlikely to make mistakes from this. Unless you're Superman of course.
Finally, mixed characters, like Firestorm or Superman, combine the pros and cons of all the unspoken classes, and therefore seem to be often more difficult to master than, for example, Catwoman or Green Arrow.
SPECIAL COMBAT MECHANICS
In addition to the usual bar burns to enhance regular special moves, there are a number of mechanics in order to more accurately control the conduct of the battle. The first mechanic is collision. To activate this event, you need to take into account two parameters: you must be on the second line of lives (red), and instead of blocking a blow, you need to press a combination of the keys "forward" (toward the enemy) and "use the scale charge".
After the above actions, the two superheroes will clash head to head and give players the opportunity to "bet" in the form of their scales, ranging in size from one to four. The winning side with the highest bid will receive bonus damage or life bar restoration.
The second interesting mechanic is interruption. The same keys are used as for the collision, but while using the combo link on your hero. Requires two divisions of the scale and the correct timing, that's all!
The ability to properly use positioning and movement around the battlefield, combined with interruptions and collisions, is the key to defeating difficult opponents
A trump card against characters who love to lock themselves on the other side of the screen and shoot: the combat somersault. Produced by double pressing the direction in combination with the scale burning button. What's up, Deadshot?
Finally, the last detail is air care. The buttons are the same, performed in the air. The player again spends the gauge, but in return receives the necessary distance to plan an upcoming attack or avoid a heavy air combo.
Well, now some of our personal impressions.
MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER
Definitely Deadshot. In Injustice, this role was played by Deathstroke, but in the sequel, his “cut” copy migrated, which, however, allows you to use the same great tactic: move to the other end of the screen and shoot your opponent to death, leaving him completely bewildered from the inability to solve the puzzle to shorten the distance. As if that wasn't enough, he added "fire rounds" that deal extra damage. This is exactly the tactic that the #1 in the world in Injustice 2, SonicFox, uses.
MOST FUN CHARACTER
Darkseid, available only on pre-order, turned out to be the most fun character for whom the editors were lucky enough to play. Lasers, teleporters, pathos, more pathos, lasers again. And an endlessly beautiful finishing blow that searches for the enemy on the screen, regardless of their location. What could be better?
MOST STYLISH CHARACTER
After much deliberation between the Scarecrow and Atrocitus, the latter was chosen. The amazing work on the Red Lantern is felt in the voice acting, and in the finishing blow, and in the magnificent four-legged ally who can be summoned and even allowed to gnaw on the opponent's face! Have you already seen this hellish cat? Add to the above an excellent arsenal of control techniques, close the distance and a beautiful six-figure combo with a charge that smoothly turns into napalm burping right in the face of a prone enemy.
There are tons of different characters in Injustice 2, with more coming in DLC. Everyone will find his own and, if desired, will bring to perfection not only his own skills, but also the appearance of the hero, since there are more than enough resources for this in the game. Put our recommendations into practice and get ready to listen to applause from friends for a ten-figure combo that removes at least half of the enemy hero's health. n
So, you have already figured out the story mode and have long decided to yourself which of the heroes will become your favorite, but other characters will have to be left in reserve. Now the most important thing is to boldly spend your game hours on developing your character, and at the same time equip him in the best possible way. To further prove themselves among other online players.
Frame mechanics:
The principle of your character's strikes is like an animation of a book, along with this, we can say that most fighting games at the present time work at about 60 frames (frames) per second.
In the beginning, you need to decide on the type of movement, they, in turn, come in four types: low, medium (mid), high (high) and at the very top (overhead). Also, do not forget about blocks, but it depends on the direct blows of your opponent, that is, a sitting or standing block.
Frame specific options
Well, now you can consider the most special parameters of frames, here, first of all, about six indicators are taken into account, let's take a closer look at all the indicators:
Start-up (preparation)- this is the main action, before any blow.
Active (active phase)- this is the duration of the blows themselves, well, some combat combinations.
Recover (recovery)- after the impact, the character must quickly return to the combat position.
blockadv. (advantage in block)- frames that are spent when blocking a particular blow.
Cancel- frames that are spent if the player cancels any action of his character.
Hit adv. (strike advantage)- well, the last frame is the remaining stock of frames that your character has after this or that action.
The fair sex characters in the game Injustice 2 are very dangerous. Meanwhile, they are very fast, thanks to this, their count of frems goes by a split second. First, learn how to read frames, because if you know how many frames your opponent has left, then this knowledge will greatly facilitate the future fight. But also do not forget about your unique tactics, because each player uses his own individual approach in order to cope with the opponent as quickly as possible.
Hero time:
Meanwhile, all the characters can be safely classified into several categories: heavy or light, fighters of ranged, melee or mixed combat, and there are also those fighters who have special fighting techniques. To defeat your opponent, you should know your character's tactics, what tricks he is trained in and choose a special style for him.
There are also heavy fighters, whose blow is very strong. But the fact is that such fighters move very slowly, and before they have time to fight back, you can land several powerful blows on such an opponent.
Ranged fighters prefer to keep their opponents at a distance, they don't get close to their enemy, but prefer to fire at him from a distance.
The Swamp Thing is very strong, but with a skillful approach, it is quite normal to win the upcoming fight with it. Creatures such as the swamp creature and Captain Cold can be defeated by mobile characters that have the teleportation skill.
Special combat mechanics:
First of all, to quickly eliminate your opponent, you should control the usual counter-attacks, and of course, control the conduct of the battle itself. To activate the collision combat mechanics, you first need to take into account two main parameters: you must be on the second line of lives (red), and then just press the “forward” combination - towards your opponent, then press “use gauge charge”.
Thanks to this combination, the opponents will clash face to face, but the player will receive a special bonus, namely the opportunity to bet in the form of their scales. The side that wins by winning the bet receives the restoration of the life of its character. The interrupt mechanic is also a special option, in order to activate it use the same keys as with the collision mechanic.
If you know both of these mechanics, you will eventually be able to win the fight, even against the strongest opponent. For those opponents who like to shoot their opponents, use a combat somersault against them, to activate the parameter, use a double direction press in combination with the scale burn button.
Well, the last mechanic is air dodging, the buttons are the same, as a result, your opponent takes heavy damage from the air combo.
Injustice: Gods Among Us— a video game for Android and computer in the style of a fighting game, is a battle between two rivals in the arena, which in less than a year has become a cult all over the world. The fictional universe of DC Comics, the most popular comic book series, in which Batman and the Joker, Superman and many other cult characters were “born”, became the plot basis of Injustice for a computer. Most of them, as well as 6 completely new heroes, are "game objects" in Injustice.
Fights in Injustice on PC pass in 2D space, but because of this, it does not look outdated, there is even something in this very 2D space. Everything else, from characters to game backgrounds, is done in 3D. The game Injustice for Android provides everything that is the basis of fighting games: combo attacks, superpowers, etc. However, Injustice also has its own "chips": there is the ability to destroy certain objects in the arena, also performing a strong combo strike you can break through the wall and suddenly find yourself in another place. In the "King of the Hill" mode, you can take turns fighting with your friends. The maximum number of players in one such tournament is 8 people.
The plot of Injustice: Gods Among Us is a kind of unification of all known DC Comics comics. It all starts with the fact that the Joker kills the pregnant Lois Lane with the hands of Superman, and then arranges a "terrorist attack" in Metropolis. Of course, Superman does such unpleasant things, the Joker had to deceive him for this. Batman, having caught his foe, arranges an interrogation for him at the Gotham City police station. At this time, Superman appears and, in a fit of anger, kills the Joker, after which he declares himself Chancellor of the Earth. A series of intricacies and intrigues begins.
The basis of the gameplay of Injustice is the battle with its counterparts, and with many other opponents that interfere with establishing "justice in the whole world." The player chooses one of the superheroes, and fulfills a clearly defined goal. It should be noted that not only positive characters can be allies of the player: negative ones for mutually beneficial relationships, no-no, and they will establish a temporary alliance with an alien hero. In the break between fights, the PC player is offered to watch story videos of quite high quality.
Download Injustice with Android Emulator
Of course, Injustice has a version for personal computers, which came out a little later than the console versions of the game. The PC version requires an Internet connection, so it's much better to use the Android version of the game. To do this, you need to download and install the BlueStacks emulator (If you encounter installation errors, go to
