Cassie Cage/Strike Force

Health: 1250
Toughness: 1350
Recovery: 1380
Power Gen: 100%

## Strategy

**Strike Force Cassie Cage**'s passive is quite dynamic as a simple tag-in can prevent enemies from ambushing with a special as well as debilitate the current enemy with a heavy speed reduction. Her basic attacks are quite fast which can become even more effective against a slowed opponent. While already possessing a strong tag-in passive, it can be enhanced with the talent "Weak Point Attacks", which gives power drain abilities a chance to snare the opponent, preventing them from escaping. When it is triggered, Cassie Cage and her teammates could then make use of it and finish off the opponent before they can recover. Cassie can also boost the health and damage of Silver tier teammates, which is less impressive than it sounds.

After Update 2.0, Cassie Cage can no longer boost the health and damage of silver characters but instead boost the health and damage of her Strike Force teammates, which can be upgraded to a hefty amount. She and her Strike Force teammates are also temporarily immune to crit and lethal damage for 5-7 seconds upon tag-in, countering the likes of some of the most hard-hitting characters in the roster. Her slowdown can also be upgraded to greatly increase its duration, slowing the enemy down for so long that they'll be finished before they can retaliate.

## 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 **Cassie Cage**. Having a card that "counters" **Cassie Cage** does not mean it is always a good choice.

### Good against

* Ronin Characters.
* Kitana/Mournful, Kung Lao/Circle of Shadow, Kenshi/Balanced & Kung Jin/Shaolin: Cassie Cage can tag in immediately and remove the entire enemy team's power, nullifying their passives.
* Ermac/Master of Souls &Scorpion/Hellspawn: Same as above, but to a lesser extent.
* Freddy Krueger/Nightmare: Freddy won't be able to deal his lethal damage after they tag-in.
* Scorpion/MK11, Liu Kang/Circle of Shadow, Tanya/Kobu Jutsu & Sub-Zero/Circle of Shadow: Similar to above, they won't be able to deal their lethal damage for a limited time.

### Countered by

* Circle of Shadow Characters.
* Raiden/Dark & Liu Kang/Klassic: Both of them are immune to power drain and can benefit from it, turning her passive against her.
* Tanya/Treacherous: While not as effective as being completely immune, her power drain resistance nonetheless helps her team retain some power for strong special attacks.
* Raiden/MK11: Raiden is immune to Power Drain and can spread this immunity to his fellow MK11 teammates.
