OutworldStats
Specials
Passive
While Baraka is active, his Anger Meter fills over time. It has 5 bars, each of which charges in 4 sec. Teammates' Special Attacks also charge Anger Bars: Special 1 — 1 bar; Special 2 — 2 bars.
When the Anger Meter is full, a successful Special Attack or X-Ray consumes it and activates Tarkat Bonehide for 15 sec. His body spikes grant protection equal to 30% of Baraka’s maximum Health. This protection absorbs all incoming damage and reflects 3% of that damage to the active opponent, excluding damage over time.
If Tarkat Bonehide is activated by a Special Attack with a minigame result of at least 90% or by an X-Ray, Baraka deals damage equal to 20% of his Health Stat when the effect ends. Voluntarily tagging Baraka out while Tarkat Bonehide is active converts 50% of the remaining protection into damage.
Team Passive
Outworld characters are immune to Cripple. Also, all Mileena teammates gain Strengthen for 10 sec. upon tag-in.
Role
Klassic Baraka helps his team survive strong attacks and recover health. With full Anger, he can activate Tarkat Bonehide to absorb damage. Anger builds while he fights, and teammates also charge it with specials.
Strengths
Bonehide lets Baraka withstand more damage, with its protection based on his maximum health. Tagging him out before it ends converts half the remaining protection into damage. Klassic allies recover some health after Bonehide ends.
Weaknesses
The protection needs full Anger and a successful special or X-Ray to activate. Bonehide does not reflect damage over time. Its extra damage on expiration requires activation with a special minigame result of at least 90%, or an X-Ray.
Best teams
Klassic allies receive healing after Bonehide. Outworld fighters gain Cripple
Cripple immunity, while Mileena teammates receive temporary Strengthen
Strengthen on entry. Allies that frequently use specials help him charge Anger faster.
Where to use
Baraka is useful in longer fights where he can prepare protection before a strong enemy attack. He also helps a Klassic team recover between exchanges. If the protection is no longer needed, tag him out while some remains to turn it into extra damage.
