## 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.
* Bi-Han's Tormentor, Princess Guard and Drahmin's Mask (FW only) equipments: These equipments can further boost Freddy's lethal blow chance.

### Good Against

* Kenshi/Elder God & Kitana/Assassin: These characters are immune to crits, but still vulnerable to Freddy's Lethals.

### Countered By

* Characters and equipments that can apply Shield Break.
* Cassie Cage/Undercover & Johnny Cage/Strike Force: Both characters deal more damage against Netherrealm characters, with Johnny spreading this boost with his Strike Force teammates.
* Cassie Cage/Strike Force: She enables herself and her Strike Force teammates to become immune to the lethal blows from Freddy's lethal attacks every time they tag. Cassie can also Power Drain and Slow Freddy on Tag, which leaves Freddy vulnerable to many attacks.
* Jacqui Briggs/Cybernetic & Scorpion/Hellspawn: Both characters take less damage from Netherrealm characters. Scorpion is also immune to critical attacks.
* Jade/MK11, Raiden/Dark & Liu Kang/Klassic: All of these characters will heal from Freddy Krueger's Fire on X-Ray with Jade spreading this to MK11 teammates.
* Jade/Klassic: Jade and her Klassic teammates are immune to Snare.
* Liu Kang/Fire God: Liu Kang can heal and get Dragon Fire from Freddy's Fire.
* Kintaro/Shokan Warrior: Kintaro reduces the effectiveness of Freddy's Fire on X-Ray.
* Scorpion/Kold War: Scorpion is immune to Freddy’s Fire on X-Ray.
* Respirator equipment: This equipment reduces damage of both critical and lethal attacks.
* Killer Jacket equipment: This equipment has a chance to activate Shield if wearer receives lethal blow.
