Injustice 2: 10 Most Complex Characters You Must Master

9. Poison Ivy

Injustice 2 Poison Ivy
NetherRealm

Scourge of the occasional Multi-verse difficulty spike, Ivy's moveset is one built for players and the A.I. alike to exploit.

Actually getting to grips with her requires unlocking both Crawling Vines and Deadly Thorns (the attacks that'll hit from a distance and below), as these easily keep foes at bay and/or airborne after a good combo. Thankfully, despite this more defensive approach, Isley does come with some devastating 8-hit combos up-close, ushering you into working up a 'stick n' move' approach to fights.

Get in close and unleash some combos, then back up and switch to projectiles and vines. Also deploy her tiny plant... goblin... thing for what is ostensibly a turret that will spew acid at foes, further keeping them at bay and letting you dominate the fight from afar.

Poison Ivy is truly horrific to fight when the A.I. decides to get its difficulty spike on, but when you're behind the crack of those whips, there's a somewhat perverse sense of satisfaction to controlling the entire fight.
