Character Power

Gate to Apokolips (Circle/B)

He opens the Boom Tube, allowing the Parademons to assist him in battle:

• Flying Parademon – Circle/B
• Charing Parademon – Back + Circle/B
• Explosive Parademon – Forward + Circle/B

Pressing the character’s Power button once will summon a flying parademon. Press the button again to let the parademon fire a projectile, then it disappears. If Darkseid hits the bullet before firing, the parademon will disappear without firing. If he does not hit or shoot bullets, the parademon will shoot itself after a short while.

He can also summon two types of parademon instead. Hold left while pressing the Character Power button to summon a green minion using Boom Tube to launch a melee attack at the opponent. Hold right while pressing the Character Power button to summon a red parademon that explodes in flaming flames at close range.

Darkseid Supermove

Boss Darkseid (R2+L2/RT+LT)

He unleashes his Omega Tia as the player controls their direction. This move can be blocked. If the beams hit an opponent, they will be raised into space with these beams forcing them to crash into multiple satellites and space debris. The opponent then hits his extended palm before being crushed, pulled through an exploding tube, and thrown aside by him.

Darkseid impressions

Injustice 2 ships with 27 characters unlocked by default, with an additional villain, Brainiac, unlocked upon completion of Story mode. The twenty-ninth character, Darkseid, was originally offered as a pre-order bonus. Now that the game is out, he can be purchased for $ 5.99.

The most important thing the Lord of Apokolips has for him is his strength. Each of his hits produces a huge punch. Jump in with a heavy aerial attack and you can track a Palm Blast hit or other moves to deal massive damage.
