Role
Strike Force Johnny Cage is a damage dealer whose offense grows as health is lost. Enemy resurrection also gives him power to continue pressure after an apparent finish.
Strengths
A costly exchange can leave him with stronger damage and power generation for the response. Strike Force allies receive a separate offensive advantage against Netherrealm fighters.
Weaknesses
The low-health benefit comes with a smaller margin for surviving the next hit. Deliberately taking damage is not automatically worthwhile, especially when a strong enemy attack is ready.
Best teams
Strike Force Scorpion offers a directly relevant rescue for a fighter operating at reduced health. Other Strike Force teammates share Johnny's matchup bonus against Netherrealm.
Where to use
He fits fights with enemy revivals or Netherrealm opponents and teams able to manage his remaining health. Treat the stronger low-health offense as a comeback resource rather than a reason to abandon defense.
