Baraka/Lizard

Health: 1250
Toughness: 1050
Recovery: 975
Power Gen: 100%

## Strategy

Lizard Baraka serves as the main damage dealer for the Lizard team. His passive allows him to exponentially increase his damage dealt on the opponent after every hit, and stacks even if the opponent is blocking. Use his unblockable SP2 to finish off enemies after stacking enough hits. Note that **Tarkatan Gi** may not work too well with Baraka, as its character-unique bleed effect only applies if Baraka is the starting character. However, Lizard Baraka functions better as a tag-in character, due to his **Anger Management** passive being tag-in reliant. Pair Baraka with equipments that grant increased **critical rate** to maximise the chances of getting a 3% damage boost per hit, rather than the 2% granted by regular hits.

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

### Good with

* Outworld characters.
* Lizard characters.
* Dark Mantle equipment: Baraka gains invulnerability on tag-in from this equipment, preventing Baraka from taking any damage which works great with his passive.

### Good Against

* Characters with Healing effects like Kitana/Day of the Dead, Shang Tsung/MK11 and Liu Kang/Circle of Shadow: Lizard Baraka reduces healing, especially when teamed up with lizard characters.
* Kung Jin/Bojutsu, Kenshi/Ronin, Kintaro/Shokan Warrior, Jax Briggs/Klassic & Noob Saibot/MK11: Part of these characters' passive relies on blocking special attacks, which Baraka's grapple on his SP2 can counter that.

### Countered by

* Poison DOT and Incurability debuff: These effects nullify Regen.
* Raiden/Dark: Raiden can reverse Baraka’s Power Drain and Bleed.
* Liu Kang/Klassic: Liu Kang is immune to Baraka’s Power Drain and Bleed, instead gains basic attack damage and critical hit chance boost from those.
* Jade/MK11 & Raiden/MK11: Together they can make MK11 characters heal from Baraka's bleed and also become immune to Baraka's Power Drain.
