Injustice Gods Among Us-Apokolips Darkseid Gameplay Elite VII

Apokolips Darkseid is one of the most fearsome juggernauts of Injustice Mobile, with a multitude of game-changing combo ender effects; while having the second highest base health (tied with Green Lantern/Red Lantern Hal Jordan, Woman/Dawn of Justice, etc.), along with a base damage that is nothing to laugh at. While his basic attacks are rather slow, once he gets rolling, the Dread Lord of Apokolips will lay waste to any and all opposition with power unlike any you have ever known: absolute, infinite, and unrelenting.
Strategy
Apokolips Darkseid has the same basic attack patterns as Darkseid/Prime; while his combo ender effects are very powerful, his basics are slow and awkward, making them quite easy to interrupt.
The combo enders appear in this ratio (roughly): 3 (Bleeding), 2 (Cursed),1 (Life Steal).
Bleeding and Cursed combo enders will knock down his opponent even if they are blocking, despite it isn't a true block breaking attack (damage is still reduced by block).
In Dead Zone and while fighting under The Joker Unhinged/Suicide Squad's passive, the Black Racer will not appear. Unlike any other combo ender, without the Black Racer, Apokolips Darkseid's combo enders only causes his opponent to stagger back without a "Knockdown blow".
Passive
The Black Racer has a chance of three random effects: Life Steal, Bleed, and Curse.
Bleeding
Note: Currently the bleed only deals 0.4% of his damage stat per second over 6 seconds, and does not stack.
This effect's immense power lies in two key elements: it scales according to enemy max health, and continues indefinitely until tag out.
The bleed deals 2.4% of enemy max health every second
Unlike other bleeds, it stacks into one bleed with itself up to 2 more times (7.2% max health damage every second); i.e. the damage gets merged into one hit per second for multiple Black Racer bleeds, unlike other bleeds which would show up multiple times in rapid succession in the case of multiple bleeds. If a bleed was already in place, the "BLEEDING" text will not pop up.
It cannot crit even with the Cursed effect and Crit Chance augments. The bleed damage is unaffected by conventional damage boosts, not even Catwoman/Batman Returns' passive, but will be magnified by the 20% damage bonuses of other bleeds. Additionally, Darkseid's bleed will magnify all other damage by 20% for its whole duration, and trigger Catwoman/Prime and Catwoman/Regime's bonus damage on enemies suffering from any form of damage over time.
It does not work with Martian Manhunter/Blackest Night life drain phase or Wonder Woman/Dawn of Justice's during-special passive life drain effect.
Cursed:
Cursed causes any unblocked basic or special hit (even his teammates' hits will work, not just Darkseid's) on the target to Crit until the target tags out, therefore making crit boost gear very effective. The Cloak of Destiny, League Of Assassins Adept Hood, and LexCorp Helmet V2 all give Darkseid a 50% critical damage boost for a total crit stat of 300% (which can be furthered with augmentation cards). This allows Darkseid's attacks on a cursed enemy to deal 4x the damage the attack normally would making his special attacks exceptionally devastating.
The requirement to get the right combo ender first means it is difficult for him to make use of the Cloak's bonus damage against stunned opponents. While you could still Curse an enemy and then stun them to hit them with Dark Lord, it is not possible to get any combo ender against a stunned opponent (i.e. no massive Life Steals). On the other hand, it is entirely possible for Darkseid to Curse an enemy, and then tag in a reliable stun character (Bane/Luchador being a prime example) for massive damage.
Life Steal
Unlike the others, this combo ender has an additional hit equal to 15% (5x of a generic combo ender) of his damage stat, unaffected by damage boosts, but affected by basic attack gear and can crit, healing Darkseid by its full damage dealt. This stacks with Gauntlets of Azrael's and Overpowered 5-U-93-R's lifedrain, allowing Darkseid to heal his team for a massive amount (possibly over 100,000 on himself even without crit boost gear or augments).
This Life Steal will still heal Darkseid even if the target is protected by Invulnerability.
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 Darkseid. Having a card that "counters" Darkseid does not mean it is always a good choice.
