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 Freddy Krueger. Having a card that "counters" Freddy Krueger does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With[]

Nightmare teammates.
Mileena/Vampiress: Mileena increases damage of Netherrealm teammates against bleeding opponents.
Noob Saibot/MK11: Noob Saibot increases crit and lethal damage of Netherrealm characters.
Shinnok/Vengeful: Shinnok gives Freddy Krueger an additional 20% critical chance.
Shadow Sash equipment: With Freddy's Shield on his special attack 2, this equipment makes Freddy take even less damage from opponent's special attacks.
