    If your baiting isn't that good launch an sp2 right when the opponent has 3 bars of power(assuming sp3 is activated), the sp3 will have no damage.

    Only use sp3 when you have inflicted 50 bleeds for maximum damage(for long fights e.g lol/rol).

    Try to dodge specials and quickly strike back to gain true strike. Good against IMIW, modok and any other autoblock/evade champ.

    Nice synergies with BPCW, WS
    That's all i can think of.

    Killmonger takes practice to use effectively.

    Use his L1 to gain counterpunch charges. When you have these charges and block an attack, you become unstoppable briefly, meaning you can strike them back while they are still recovering from their own attack. You have to have quick reflexes though. I'd say ignore the L1 for the most part initially until you're comfortable with the champion.

    Use his L2 to gain indestructible charges. These allow KM to be indestructible for a single hit for each charge. You get 3 charges for the L2. So if you get accidentally get punched, the charge goes away and you take no damage. This works on L3's as well. If your enemy is about to get to an L3, throw an L2 so you can tank their L3. You'll lose all your charges, but you'll take no damage. Be cautious. Blocking attacks will remove these charges, though you'll take no block damage. When you get them, it's better to evade as opposed to blocking.

    KM will inflict bleed damage over the course of the fight. The game keeps track of how many bleeds you've placed on the enemy. Once you get to 15, you'll see a gray counter appear under the enemy's life bar and it'll continue to increase from 15 up to 50 each time you put a bleed effect on the enemy. When you see this counter and you launch an L3, you'll re-stack each of the bleeds you previously stacked on the enemy. So if you inflicted 30 bleeds during the fight, the L3 will apply 30 stacks of bleed for massive damage against the enemy. This can only be done once per fight.

    Deep wounds benefits KM greatly. It boosts his damage and works to extend even the bleeds re-stacked from his L3.

    When an enemy fires off a special, evade and counter attack right away. If you're fast enough, you'll gain a true strike buff which negates evasion and auto-block. This makes him an great counter to Medusa, IMIW, MODOK, Spider-man, Nightcrawler, and several other champs.

    Many of these techniques will require practice. Using KM isn't going to automatically win any fights, but using him well will give you a definite edge.

    Nothing that hasn't already been said but I think his best bit of utility is how he gets true strike.

    Hitting an enemy right after they special on you (you have to avoid it) will give you true strike.

    True strike is extremely useful because it doesn't trigger evades or auto-blocks, making most of the difficult to face champions much easier:
    -Modok doesn't auto block
    -IMIW doesn't auto block
    -Medusa doesn't auto block
    -Spidey doesn't evade
    -NC doesn't evade

    I'm sure I'm missing some but thats the gist. The only thing is that you have to be careful going in for these hits because even if you do them perfectly, these champions can still evade/autoblock that dash in.
