The latest character to join Injustice 2’s roster is Enchantress. Gaining popularity due to last year’s WB DCEU film “Suicide Squad”, Injustice has added another character with magical abilities, previous being Doctor Fate and Zatanna being the other magic user from the first game.
From her description
The all-too ordinary life of June Moone ended the day she was possessed by the Enchantress, a demonic sorceress with aspirations of world domination. Today, she fights for her very soul, struggling to harness the Enchantress’ magic for good. If she fails, the Enchantress will consume her – and our world won’t be far behind.
Enchantress Injustice 2 Trailer:
It’s interesting to see that they would pick another character reliant on mid-away skill set considering there are already many characters that can do massive damage and work better from a distance. Her moveset is definitely similar from fan favorite Ermac where she can mind control the other player, set traps and her ability to summon minions was quite popular with Scorpion’s inferno variant. It’ll be interesting to see how her moveset play’s with other characters having similar feats and abilities. With a pretty standard special, Enchantress seems like character that only certain players would appreciate and use competitively.
Her costume is more akin to the comic versions compared to what was shown in the film, the latter being much grittier and dark, here’s a comparison of the three costumes.
All in all, having a character from the DC Universe is always more appreciated than some other franchise’s, however fans are still pissed over not getting the highly requested Image Comic’s character Spawn, which is still being rumored to appear eventually.
Enchantress is available for Early Access on January 9 for the Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition, Ultimate Pack, and Fighter Pack 3!
What do you think about her reveal? are you excited to play with another magic user similar to Ermac, Quan Chi and Doctor Fate?
