Notes: Stuns enemies, easily chained into combos, Enhanced version adds extra damage.
Just like in the games, the Golden Fleece will even reflect incoming fireballs back at your attacker. When confronted with a speedy, teleporting opponent such as Scorpion or Smoke, stay at a distance and blast away with Apollo’s Bow while fending off incoming attacks using the Golden Fleece (Down, Back, Square). Mix them up to keep your opponent off balance in close-quarters brawls.ĭon’t get overwhelmed. The former ends with a low attack the latter will defeat a crouching block. Torment a defensive foe by alternating between the Hades Pain (Back + Square, Back + Circle) and the Hades Edge (Back + Square, Triangle). Follow up with the Olympic Toss (Circle) for a crushing finale and upwards of 30% damage. The key to unlocking Kratos’ highest damage potential is the Olympic Ascension (Back + hold Triangle), a powerful juggle that launches both fighters into the air. More importantly, it can chain a fast, weaker opening combo into a mortal monstrosity, especially when followed with the Olympic Ascension (below). You’ll learn to love it for several reasons: the blast boasts impressive range, stuns on impact, and shuts down jumping attackers. Like Scorpion’s spear or Sub-Zero’s ice blast, the Helios Head is Kratos’ go-to special attack. An effective Kratos player must demonstrate equal parts finesse and animal cunning. Kratos’ style combos aren’t particularly fast or powerful, so wading into combat while mashing buttons won’t get you results worthy of the God of War. Now that the shrink wrap is off the game, my hands-on play sessions have yielded some powerful tactics. If you watched our recent video Q&A with Ed Boon and Stig Asmussen, then you know that NetherRealm Studios and Sony Santa Monica Studios collaborated closely to ensure that God of War’s ultra-violent antihero was faithfully recreated for his highly anticipated (and PS3-exclusive) Mortal Kombat debut.
