Health: 1500

Recovery: 1450

## Strategy

While Kabal has a passive that can work in his own right, he fully functions well when paired with other Black Dragon teammates.

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

### Good With

* Black Dragon Characters.
* Critical hit chance equipments: Critical hits will be useful for Kabal since he has Curse on his tag-in. Also, increased critical hits let Kabal gain Speed buff from his brutality equipment Nomad's Buzz Saw more frequently.
* Kitana/Day of the Dead: Kabal can receive Regen from Kitana.
* Reptile/Klassic: Kabal gains immunity to Poison and increased critical hit chance to poisoned opponents from Reptile. The synergy is further increased if one of them is equipped with Kabal's brutality set.
* Raiden/Injustice 2 : Kabal can spam his SP1’s krushing blow over and over again while Raiden assisting him by stunning the enemy.

### Good Against

* Critical and Lethal attacks: With his signature equipment Respirator, Kabal takes less damage from these attacks.
* Jade/Assassin, Jason Voorhees/Nightmare, Varan Jacket and Dark Mantle equipments, Erron Black with Varmint’s Ace in the Hole: These characters and equipment pieces are unable to evade combo enders and special attacks from Kabal and his Black Dragon teammates. To make things worse, they are more vulnerable to Kabal's Fatal Blow upon Black Dragon teammate knockout.

### Countered By

* Jade/Klassic: Jade and her Klassic teammates are immune to Kabal's Snare.
* Liu Kang/Klassic: Liu Kang turns Kabal’s Krushing Blow Bleed into Critical Attack Boosts without dealing too much damage.
* Mileena/Piercing: Mileena gains a Bar of Power from Kabal’s Krushing Blow on Special 1.
* Sonya Blade/Kombat Cup: Sonya is immune to Kabal’s Stuns.
* Raiden/Dark & Jade/MK11: Both characters can heal from Kabal’s Krushing Blow Bleed on Special 1 with Jade spreading this to MK11 teammates.
* Terminator/Dark Fate: Terminator can evade Kabal’s Krushing Blow on Special 1, as well as his Fatal Blow upon Black Dragon Teammate knockout.
* Divine Argus Cloak equipment: This equipment applies random debuffs on unblockable attacks.
* Centaurian Defense talent: This talent can reflect Kabal's unblockable attack damages.
