Batgirl
Game: Gotham Knights
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.

The skills in this tree vary wildly in function: some let Batgirl disable electronics or even overload enemy weapons, or prevent Batgirl from being seen by cameras. Hacking Overload makes Batgirl’s abilities do more damage, while Super Health Packs make healing items provide more health and an extra temporary defensive boost.

Batgirl’s Knighthood tree adds a number of quality-of-life improvements, like letting her use her grapple in combat and improving her out-of-combat health regeneration.
