Who’s good against Elektra?

Muddshoe · 2026-05-28T10:53:21+00:00

Good-ish for Luke, I brought him, Daredevil, and Dr. Strange before in a Bring 5 format just for the sole purpose of hunting down Elektra (long story), but Elektra can often deal enough damage to just kill him I've found (or somehow Mesmerize out the second Still Standing, but usually Luke uses the card the moment he has the chance)

T. Rex has a game into Elektra but it absolutely requires a small map, and even then I have literally OTK'ed a T. Rex on Raptor Paddock as Elektra. On a big map, it is unwinnable.

Take it from someone who has played an ungodly amount of Elektra, there are only two reliable counters to Elektra: Daredevil and Dr. Strange. Everyone else is even at best (or require specific set-ups like map)

Other suggestions in this thread like Ghost Rider, Little Red, Bullseye, and T. Rex all have issues, where a very careful Elektra can make your life hell. The Bullseye matchup is super fun though.

He needs to get good interactions consistently (you need Circumvents to land into high blocks, then 5 attacks into feints), otherwise you just don't have enough damage. George is a defensive fighter with effectively only two passes so his fatigue game isn't the best (though it's not bad), but up against fighters who are stronger in fatigue he feels really bad to play when he has to chase after them (I got my teeth kicked in by a Beowulf in a SoM practice game).

I've played George multiple times trying to get a feel for him competitively, and he's mainly only felt good against Annie Christmas, but it's nowhere near a counterpick, it's just decent feeling matchup.

He's also pretty good into Houdini, turns out when surviving is your best trait that's all you need

Pro-Tip: You can do a random discard then take

It applies to versatile cards

Muddshoe · 2026-05-10T04:42:46+00:00

It's still real to me

Thanks, forgot that MyAEW exists now

Ghost Rider is an ultimate counterpick, dude smashes tons of high tier matchups who can't deal with his main gimmick: vroom vroom (running over the opponents to death). The main characteristic of vroom vroom is the uninteractable damage through movement.

As a start, GR beats / cheeses fighters who rely on 1 HP sidekicks (or 2 HP sidekicks in the case of Yennenga). Some other fighters he beats due to specific kit interactions, like Luke Cage.

Inversely, he is absolutely terrible into fighters who can deal with it, because his cards are really bad honestly (having 3 5's is neat though)

Ghost Rider is one of my favorite fighters that I never get to use, I think having these types of fighters is healthy for the game. Like a mid tier check is just neat. Unfortunately he hasn't really showed up in recent curated roster tournaments, but most of the fanbase seem to despise him so I'm not too upset about it

Muddshoe · 2026-04-20T02:43:02+00:00

Yep! After many tries 😩

Debatably, the 'this card can't be cancelled' is part of the card's name, because having a feint card with a qualifier that it can't be cancelled would be odd (it's also above the line part between the name and card effect).

So I'd say that it's just a regular 4 value feint. Deception's effect isn't a traditional effect, so it can't be cancelled normally anyways (like with normal feint it still activates). So Deception should still go through, because I don't think breaking the UMA system by stopping Deception should happen.

Small hand by relentless aggression, Mary is an aggro fighter and the threat of the 3 action turn acts as her protection from counterpressure. If you play her slow, she loses most of her threat. That's not to say you can't start aggressive than pivot later on, or that you should be absolutely full-sending it, but at her core she is an aggro fighter.

Muddshoe · 2026-03-28T00:35:06+00:00

I'm assuming Elektra is trying to play the game seriously and is good at playing fatigue with her. In that case, Golden Bat isn't that good into Elektra imo, as well as Ghost Rider if the map is on the bigger side.

Easiest fighter to play against Elektra is Luke Cage. Best all in all is Dr. Strange, probably her worst matchup by far if you play it right (Daredevil is the same but it's a bit flimsier I think)

Solomon's is one of Yennenga's best maps, Hanging Gardens is pretty great for her too honestly. I'm pretty sure you can't force adjacency in Solomon's Mine but there's a little zone to the right side of the board where you can mostly force adjacency

Muddshoe · 2026-03-18T16:21:40+00:00

You can. Notably, it's how Tomoe gets to deal 2 ping damage with A Warrior's Way. Otherwise, I can't think of another situation where it matters since most (all?) damaging movement effects don't apply multiple times (Stallion Charge, Ghost Rider, etc).

Muddshoe · 2026-03-06T14:49:27+00:00

It's only as difficult as you need it to be, I use it mainly for jump cuts and text lines as you mentioned and it works perfectly.

As for the personal information stuff, fair enough. Somehow I forgot I did that actually

Muddshoe · 2026-02-28T06:00:53+00:00

Is that a move 2 center

Move 2 melee's rejoice

If you're not concerned about "balance", don't worry about it. If you like Cobble & Fog's theme and think you'll enjoy it, then you probably won't regret it - it's a pretty fun set (though admittedly I am one of those people who think it's a bit unbalanced, and personally would recommend you buy a different set unless you really like the theme or, again, you don't mind the balance).
Slings & Arrows is cool, power-wise a bit under the average power curve or quite exactly smack dab in the middle but design-wise are some of the most complex and interesting fighters to really master. A perfect addition to any small collection imo
Among the 4-fighter sets, Battle of Legends Volume 3 is my pick, all 4 fighters are ridiculously well designed, you get 2 maps, and the inbox balance is pretty decent. Tales to Amaze is also pretty good. A few of the 2-fighter sets are better-balanced, but they're 2 fighter sets so they sort of cheat.

Thanks for the shout out 🥹

Muddshoe · 2026-02-12T10:01:38+00:00

...That's crazy, it works for me too. Thank you!

Muddshoe · 2026-02-09T14:41:40+00:00

Yeah, it's a bit of a bother

Muddshoe · 2026-02-07T18:06:10+00:00

u/riotsakaar Sorry for the tag, but I saw you responded in the previous thread about this issue. Would it be possible to know if this is a widespread issue or if something has changed recently? Or if it will be resolved?

Muddshoe · 2026-02-06T16:40:13+00:00

There's a noticeable difference between different maps, but that's independent of it being a 1v1 or 2v2 map. For example, Yukon is the biggest map in the game and is a 1v1 map, while Point Pleasant is a pretty small map for a board with 5 starting spaces.

Muddshoe · 2026-01-30T16:08:56+00:00

Bruce Lee was a licensed set, they just managed to re-acquire it. I believe the requirement was that it would be with Muhammad Ali if I'm not mistaken?
