Strategy[]
One of the best gold kards in the game, Sub-Zero Triborg is a valuable asset to player's kollection. At start of the match, each Triborg character gain 1 support robot that apply frostbite on their special attacks (SP). If the SP knock out an opponent, frostbite from that SP will be transferred to the next one. Sub-Zero can also Freeze his opponent on combo ender with the support robot. The robot will be consumed after one usage of SP or Sub-Zero's successful freeze on combo ender. Sub-Zero can replenish the robots for the entire team after using a SP again when he has consumed his robot. If his Triborg teammates haven't consumed their robots, the robots won't stack.
Sub-Zero gain a temporary ice shield on tag-in that greatly reduces damage from SP. His tag-in animation also deal small damage to the active enemy, similar to Kung Lao/Hat Trick.
All characters on his team gain +50% critical chance against frozen enemy. With support robot, his combo ender can freeze the enemy, synergizing well with this effect. Triborg/Cyrax (LK-4D4) is recommended as his teammate for the bonus critical damage if player want to utilize this effect.
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 Triborg. Having a card that "counters" Triborg does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With[]
- Triborg characters .
- Kung Lao/Hat Trick: Triborg receives critical damage boost.
- Other Sub-Zero kards: They can help freeze opponents.
- Sub-Zero/Kold War: Triborg can apply Frostbite on enemy, helping Sub-Zero trigger his critical damage boost.
- Sub-Zero/MK11: Triborg's Frostbite helps Sub-Zero freeze his enemy on combo ender.
- Equipments that help the user Freeze or Frostbite the opponent such as the Ice Gloves or the Frost Axe: Sub-Zero Triborg will gain very big benefits since he can apply Frostbite and apply Freeze on Combo Ender.
- Tremor/Black Dragon: Since Triborg applies Weaken on X-Ray, he can help Tremor deal more damage against the opponent.
Good Against[]
- Characters with strong special attacks: Sub-Zero Triborg's ice shield can protect him from SP. His frostbite can also drain power.
- Characters that rely on their fast basic attacks: Frostbite will slow their basic combos, making them easier to block.
Countered By[]
- Tremor/Black Dragon: Much like Triborg can help Tremor, Tremor can also counter Triborg. When Tremor is equipped with Fusion X Earth Elemental Facemask and is in Gold Skin form, he will be immune to all of Triborg's debuffs, Freeze on Combo Ender, Frostbite from his robot minion, Poison from Special 2 and even Weaken on X-Ray.
- Characters that are immune to critical damage, such as Kenshi/Elder God.
- Characters that can counter DOT, such as Raiden/Dark: They can resist his poison on SP2, and Raiden can also counter frostbite.
- Frozen Mummy, Blood Stone Ring, Outworld Gear Equipment: Frost Mummy provides resistance or immunity to Frostbite, while the other 2 equipments provide resistance or immunity to poison for the user, limiting Sub-Zero Triborg's effectiveness when applying Poison or Frostbite to the same opponent.
- Jade/Assassin: Jade can evade Sub-Zero Triborg's Freezing Combo Ender, as well as the Frostbite and Poison effects from his Specials.
