One of four playable characters in Gotham Knights, Batgirl’s strengths lie in her flexibility and her innate survivability.
Batgirl Skill Trees
Batgirl’s skill trees are diverse, with Justice making her one-on-one combat skills stronger, Grit making her tougher, and Oracle adding a multitude of useful passive effects.
This tree lets Batgirl deal significantly more damage to opponents, and improves her ability to Stun and interrupt foes.
