Strategy

Tanya's passive is unique, since she is the only character in the game that disables the opponent's equipment. This effect is done when Tanya performs any Special Attack no matter if it's being blocked. One can notice that the passive has been successful if there is a sound and a visual effect of something being broken on the enemy. The passive can happen an unlimited amount of times per battle, so performing three specials against a fully-equipped Gold character and four specials against a fully equipped Diamond character will break all equipment pieces it has. This particular advantage isn't useful on challenges or battle mode (because no characters wear equipment), but it can be useful in Faction Wars and game modes such as Lin Kuei Tower and Black Dragon Tower where kards come equipped.

Interactions

Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Tanya. Having a card that "counters" Tanya does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With

Good Against

Lin Kuei Tower and Black Dragon Tower Bosses: The Sub-Zero and Triborg bosses from the Lin Kuei Tower and the Kano, Kabal, Tremor and Erron Black bosses from the Black Dragon Tower have increased stats and difficulty due to the LKT/BDT exclusive equipment. Tanya, being weak or strong, can break that equipment on SPs rendering the bosses a lot weaker.

Faction Wars: Generally this is the only game mode where fighters come with equipment pieces. Tanya can break them to turn the battle into her favor.

Power Drainers: Tanya reduces the effects of Power Drain to herself and her teammates.

Jade/Assassin: If Tanya uses Special 2, even if Jade evades, Jade cannot cripple her as Tanya moves so far back at the end of her Special Attack. Tanya can also break Jade’s Signature Equipment and render Jade even less of a threat.
