Black Adam combos
Down-air is one of Black Adam’s fastest moves, making it a viable combo starter. However, it sends at a diagonal angle rather than straight down like most other down-airs, meaning he must be prepared to chase down his opponent to get a follow-up.

If he is facing the ledge, his grounded side-normal will cause him to throw his opponent back toward centre stage, allowing him to follow up with something like a down-air or forward-air. Conversely, if he is facing toward centre stage, this attack will cause him to throw his opponent off-stage, enabling him to set up edgeguards at higher percents.
Black Adam perks

| Circuit Breaker | Deal additional damage to fighters debuffed with shocked. |
| The Hierarchy of Power | Call the Heavens calls lightning to allies instead of Black Adam. |
For his Offense perk, Black Adam benefits from I’ll Take That. It gives him a cooldown refund of a quarter of a second any time he hits a debuffed opponent. As a result, it pairs well with Circuit Breaker, since both encourage him to go on the offensive against Shocked enemies.
Black Adam’s recommended Utility perk is Last Stand. This causes him to deal more damage if he has taken more than 100 damage, which Black Adam should have no trouble doing thanks to his survivability. Finally, the Defense perk Boundless Energy aids his defence and movement by giving him a 10% faster dodge invulnerability recharge.
