How To Use
This team is built around Nightmare Leatherface as the main damage dealer. MK11 Noob Saibot boosts Critical and Lethal Damage for Leatherface as a Netherrealm teammate, while Homelander's equipment improves the team's basic attacks, Combo Enders and Critical Hit Damage. Start with Leatherface and pressure with basic combos. His Combo Enders can trigger Enrage, giving him a short but powerful damage window, while Blazing Training applies Shield Break before his Special Attacks. After Leatherface has tagged out and returns, God's Helper Tanuki gives him Luck while applying Weaken to the opponent, creating another strong burst opportunity. Homelander works as the secondary fighter and offensive support. Check which teammate becomes his Parental Figure at the start and try to keep that fighter alive so Bonding can continue building. Rockin' Bowling Stones and Draconic Deathblow help Leatherface land more basic combos and Combo Enders, while Director's Chair converts the team's Power spending into temporary Critical Hit Damage boosts. Homelander's tag-in also applies Death Mark through Shintai of Malice. MK11 Noob Saibot handles control, healing and resurrection. Abyssal Wraith's Shadow applies Team Incurability when he tags in, while his Special Attacks apply Death Mark. Special Attack 1 also applies Snare through Tempest Lasso, and Abyssal Wraith's Nightmare can add another Death Mark when Noob applies other debuffs. Building three active Death Marks activates Death Brand and gives Noob additional control over weakened enemies. The main rotation is Leatherface pressure → Homelander tag-in and Power spending → Noob Saibot for Death Marks, Snare and Incurability → Leatherface tag-in for the Tanuki-assisted burst. Adjust the timing around Homelander's randomly selected Parental Figure rather than sacrificing that teammate unnecessarily.
