Don't treat it like a fight.
It's basically a QTE.

Do counter him

[Djozar]

He has one attack that you must counter 2-3 times in succession, and time them right. Those always got me until I learned to watch for his combos. Use your quick grapnel hook to stop him from attacking, as well.This will stagger him and set you up for an attack or two before getting ready to counter/block his next attack. Don't let him control the fight!

I would like to know what this opening is as from what i can see, fighting him is like a raffle.
I had his back to me, a sure thing, yet the moment i attacked the view suddenly changed to me being in front of him and i got smashed.
You play the same combos per match yet you get a different result every reply.
This is the most twisted no way a boss fight i have ever witnessed.

For the record i rolled straight into the story so i dont have much upgrades but i do have 75% physical armor protection.

Im starting to wonder if i need to restart and beef my upgrades up first.

You can defeat Deathstroke without upgrades, no need to start over. You're going to be fighting him via countering and Combo Takedowns into QTEs rather than traditional forced combat. I would upgrade only if you need the 5x Combo Boost to expedite Combo Takedowns to weaken him. Avoid taking physical damage and you'll be okay.

Im lucky if i get three hits in a line so a takedown isnt liable to happen unless the cutscene where you get 15 to 20 hits provides it and even then if i can unload it on him which isnt likely as hes never that close after these cutscene combo chances.
The problem i have is hes guard is never down, this opening i keep hearing about never shows itself as distinct from anything else he does.

[JonoAMano]

You can weaken him into a QTE via Counter, strike from behind, BatClaw Slam, Strike, Combo Takedown, repeat. Use Redirects over him so you don't lose your combo.

Ive given up for today but will take onboard everything you have imparted and see how it goes.

Thanks for the assistance.

[Γαῖα]

Oh how the joke is on me.

All this time and all i had to do was continually counter and throw in the odd bat claw here and there. So easy, its embarrassing.

[JonoAMano]

We all went through it, no worries. Congratulations

I defeated him at NG+ with no damage taken

I love this fight - it's easily the best in all (4) games for me - just very elegant if done correctly - it's what the Batman Vs. Arkham Knight encounter should have been in Arkham Knight. You can attack him at times when he and Batman are sort of just circling each other, but when it goes into kind of a slowed down short cinematic, watch for the counter points. Basically if you're over-aggressive, Deathstroke will punish you for that and when he turns over-aggressive, you need to punish him for it with appropriate countering. I'd also recommend making regular use of the batclaw-slam. It's very effective against Deathstroke, he really doesn't have a counter for it for most of the fight.

"over-aggressive"

The fighting mechanics is hardly Mortal Kombat. Perhaps if i had ground,low,mid and high attacks, 2 levels of power in an attack you would have a point but we dont.

The deathstroke fight is scripted in and out of QT as its easy to out wit him yet almost everytime you do, quickly your presented with a cut scene retaliation he shouldnt have been able to make.
