Dreammxy's Mileena Guide

Mileena’s Best Buttons

The Best Buttons are the key moves for the character. You should try to use them whenever the opportunity presents itself since they offer the best neutral, anti-air, and pressure value.

• 1 – 8 frames, -4 on block. Good for anti-air.
• B1 – Good neutral, Mileena’s fastest mid.
• F1 – A high that’s plus on block. Not safe as opponents can D2 it.
• B2 – A good overhead for mixing up.
• F2 – Good tool to catch people off guard. Has a KB on the second hit.
• B3 – Another good mixup tool.
• D3 – A good low to keep people in check.
• B4 – Great in neutral.
• F4 – 18 frame mid, also good in neutral.
• D4 – Good anti-air.

Mileena’s Best Variations

Players have the option to select their own Variations in tournament settings, so here are Dreammxy’s Mileena ones:

• Stabbyscotch (FDB2)
• Ridin’ Dirty (1, 1, 1+3)
• Losing Control (F2, 3, 1+3)
• Half Blood (F4, 3, 1+3)
• Vanish (UD2)

Mileena’s Gameplan

Mileena excels at mixing her opponents up, leaving them to guess what her next move is going to be. She can also easily add grabs to her mixup game, as she has a KB on her forward throw. Her projectiles are also incredibly good, so she can play the zoning game.

Mileena’s Best Strings

Single buttons won’t win you the match, so you need to memorize these best strings to win:

• 1, 1, 2 – Can punish the opponent’s guessing game.
• B1, 1, 2 – Good for pressure.
• F1. 2 – Solid offensive tool.
• B3, 4 – You can do a combo if the first hit lands.
• F4, 3 – A safe string that will keep your opponent blocking.
• 3, 4

Mileena’s Weaknesses

As much as people want their mains to be very strong and all-powerful, you can’t have a video game fighter without weaknesses. Mileena is no exception.

• She gets outranged by multiple characters, for example, Jade and Shao Kahn.
• Her strings are unsafe and can be punished if you’re careless.

Mileena’s Guide Conclusion

Mileena was left in a questionable spot by the NRS. While she’s a good offensive character that thrives while in the face of the opponent, putting them under constant pressure, she also can be very vulnerable to those fighters that can exploit her weaknesses. The most important tip while playing as Mileena is not to get careless.
