Kitana/Circle of Shadow

Health: 1070
Toughness: 1440
Recovery: 1630
Power Gen: 100%

## Strategy

Enslaved opponents by Kitana can only use their Special Attack 1. If she enslaves Circle of Shadow character, the enslaved can benefit from any Circle of Shadow character effects from Kitana's team. For example: Quan Chi's vampirism and Sub-Zero's lethal blow chances.

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