How to Beat Deathstroke in Batman: Arkham Origins

At first, this battle seems ne’er insurmountable. Deathstroke is an extremely deadly adversary, and any frontal attack is met with an assault of attacks that seem to destroy Bats in seconds. Because of this, you might be tempted to fight defensively, but this tactic is ill-advised. Instead, going on the offensive is recommended, but you need to be careful. Every attack he throws your way can be countered, but if you counter it too early you’ll take a bunch of damage.

His final phase might as well be a full-blown quick-time event. Any time you attempt to hit him you're thrown into a cutscene where you need to counter between one and three times. After a while, Bats will land a blow and you'll be put back in control. Just keep pounding attack and countering once you're prompted and you'll end Deathstroke before too long.
