Team Passive
Role
Klassic Movie Sonya is a hands-on attacker who spends power on selectable combo sequences. Choose between Shield Break, Cripple and extra damage according to the next exchange.
Strengths
Her amplified sequences let offense carry a specific control purpose. With Johnny Cage alive on the team, the amplified Leg Takedown also offers a defensive payoff through Shield.
Weaknesses
The sequences require correct inputs, power and cooldown management. Repeating one automatically can spend resources on damage when preventing the enemy's special would be more useful.
Best teams
A living Johnny Cage enables the stated Shield interaction. A Raiden teammate gains Blind on Special Attack 1 while Sonya lives, providing a separate reason for that pairing.
Where to use
She suits manually controlled fights where you can execute and select sequences deliberately. Plan the amplification around the desired effect rather than treating the extra input as cosmetic.
