Injustice Gods Among Us Rebirth Wally West Gameplay Elite VII

The Flash/Wally West Rebirth is a character that was introduced in the 2.13 update and can only be obtained either by ranking in certain Online Battle seasons or through his "own" pack, the Wally West Gold Pack, however, getting the first copy of him through the pack will not unlock him for direct Promotions.

Strategy

The Flash/Wally West Rebirth is a very effective character when used correctly, with high and balanced base stats and a useful passive. The special-dodging portion of his passive is similar to Batman/Dawn of Justice's. When activated, he can merge with the Speed Force and negate all damage that would have occurred from the enemy's special. This includes any Status effects associated with the special as well, including Area Effect or DOT.

The counter-attack deals damage equal to 30% of his damage stat, which is slightly higher than Batman/Dawn of Justice (who deals around 24%), but does not Stun (like the latter). This can be reduced to 75% of the original damage by Blocking, like a basic attack. Wally's opponent is also Snared when it triggers until he returns to deal the hit, and Batman's passive has also been changed to match. This makes it impossible to tag out just as the counter-attack occurs, negating its damage (as was previously possible with Batman). Additionally, unlike against Batman, if you knock Wally back, use a special that triggers his passive then block, he will run up to his opponent to hit them regardless (while Batman would slam down on his original position and miss); Wally can dodge even if he is stunned or otherwise disabled, while Batman cannot.

It is suggested to combine him with other Rebirth or The Flash characters to boost his passive. It is estimated that his original dodge chance is 30% while with 2 Rebirth/The Flash characters, it is 50%, the latter of which is around the chance for Batman's Evasion to trigger.

Back when he was released, it appeared that the power-generation part of his passive did not work. No passive icon appeared for Rebirth characters, and their power did not seem to generate faster. This bug was shared with Raven/Rebirth, as her Rebirth-related team passive also did not activate. However, as of the 2.15 update, The Flash's passive is now fixed and Rebirth characters will receive increased power generation from him.

The last hit of Fast Action inflicts power drain similar to a normal power drain special 2, yet in return the damage of the whole special is halved (80% maximum power drained, but can be reduced to 40% if Blocked).

Interactions

Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against The Flash. Having a card that "counters" The Flash does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With

As mentioned above, Rebirth or The Flash characters, specifically:
Raven/Rebirth: When combined with both her own and Wally's passive, she will have very high power generation (although neither of their power-generation boosts work as of now).
The Flash/Reverse Flash: Both him and Wally together combined together can create a very annoying team based around dodging specials.
The Flash/Metahuman and The Flash/Earth 2: Both are powerful characters that will contribute towards Wally's passive.

Abilities
Speed Force Merge: Chance to dodge any Special Attack and then counterattack for large damage. If teamed up with Rebirth characters OR Flash characters the chance goes up. Rebirth characters also receive a power generation boost.
