Strategy[]
Lizard Baraka serves as the main damage dealer for the Lizard team. His passive allows him to exponentially increase his damage dealt on the opponent after every hit, and stacks even if the opponent is blocking. Use his unblockable SP2 to finish off enemies after stacking enough hits. Note that Tarkatan Gi may not work too well with Baraka, as its character-unique bleed effect only applies if Baraka is the starting character. However, Lizard Baraka functions better as a tag-in character, due to his Anger Management passive being tag-in reliant. Pair Baraka with equipments that grant increased critical rate to maximize the chances of getting a 3% damage boost per hit, rather than the 2% granted by regular hits.
Interactions[]
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Baraka. Having a card that "counters" Baraka does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good with[]
- Outworld characters.
- Lizard characters.
- Dark Mantle equipment: Baraka gains invulnerability on tag-in from this equipment, preventing Baraka from taking any damage which works great with his passive. If maxed out, the Dark Mantle could allow Baraka to evade a special attack and apply Freeze to the opponent.
Good Against[]
- characters with Healing effects like Kitana/Day of the Dead, Shang Tsung/MK11 and Liu Kang/Circle of Shadow: Lizard Baraka reduces healing, especially when teamed up with lizard characters.
- Kung Jin/Bojutsu, Kenshi/Ronin, Kintaro/Shokan Warrior, Jax Briggs/Klassic & Noob Saibot/MK11: Part of these characters' passive relies on blocking special attacks, which Baraka's grapple on his SP2 can kounter that.
Countered by[]
- Poison DOT, Venom Deck and Incurability debuffs: These effects nullify Regen.
- Raiden/Dark: Raiden can reverse Baraka’s Power Drain and Bleed.
- Smoke/Klassic & Jade/Lizard: These characters and their respective teammates can resist Baraka’s Power Drains and Bleeds and reflect them back to him.
- Liu Kang/Klassic: Liu Kang is immune to Baraka’s Power Drain and Bleed, instead gains basic attack damage and critical hit chance boost from those.
- Jade/MK11 & Raiden/MK11: Together they can make MK11 characters heal from Baraka's bleed and also become immune to Baraka's Power Drain.
- Kenshi/Elder God, Kitana/Assassin & Scorpion/Hellspawn: All of these characters are immune to critical hits, and limit the effectiveness of Baraka’s Anger Management Passive, with Kenshi spreading critical immunity to his Elder God teammates.
- D'Vorah/Standard, Kitana/Day of the Dead, Outworld Gear, Blood Stone Ring, Trophy Collection & Telogrieka: All of these characters and equipments are immune or provide resistance to Bleed.
- Ceremonial Pipe: As it is considered a buff, Baraka’s Speed can be stolen by the user 70-100% of the time if they are equipped with this item.
- Sindel’s Signet Ring: Same as Ceremonial Pipe, but the Speed is copied from Baraka rather than stolen by him.
