Introduction
Mortal Kombat 11 is a famous fighting video game. In Mortal Kombat 11 players have unique abilities to win the battle. As per the name of the game, Mortal Kombat 11 gives you the best fighting or combat game experience. Here are some tips for those who play Mortal Kombat 11.
How to attack and defend
In Mortal Kombat 11, short chains of standard attacks are of great importance, as is the ability to use ranged attacks and jumps.
The four standard attacks, as before, are tied to the buttons on the right side of the gamepad. On PlayStation 4, punches are represented by a square and a triangle, and kicks are represented by a cross and a circle. On Xbox One these are the X, Y, A and B buttons respectively. Try different sequences of these buttons and combine with the D-pad to use special attacks.
Almost every attack depends on the chosen character. If you are playing offline, press pause and look at the list of available hits. For example, with the “square-triangle-square” combination, one fighter can cause strong damage, while another hero will not have such a sequence at all.
The principle of battles in Mortal Kombat 11 is this: if you do not attack your opponent, then block his blows. There is an upper and lower block. To prevent the enemy from harming you, you must quickly navigate and choose the appropriate option. To block, hold the right trigger on the controller. If you press the button at the moment the enemy hits, you will perform a quick and effective counterattack.
If you block too often, the enemy may take advantage of this and grab you. The same is available to you: press L1 or LB on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One , respectively, while standing next to your opponent. This way you will first deal a lot of damage to him, and then also throw him aside. An enemy capture can be interrupted by quickly pressing one of the strike buttons on the right side of the gamepad.How to deal more damage
There are several techniques that will help you turn the tide of the battle in your favor. They are especially useful if you are fighting a strong player.
Deadly Blows
These attacks only appeared in Mortal Kombat 11. They are available when you have less than 30% health left. They can be used once per round. If your opponent does not block the fatal blow, you will deprive him of about a quarter of his health.
Enhanced Attacks
Each fighter has several attacks, which are enhanced by the attack energy scale at the bottom of the screen. Press R1 on PlayStation 4 or RB on Xbox One during a specific attack – which one can be found in the attack list screen. For example, thanks to his famous combination with a spear, Scorpio makes successive powerful blows, and the opponent does not even have time to react.
Attacks using the environment
Each location has objects that you can interact with. They are usually located in the background or on the edge of the arena. With the help of some you can quickly jump to the middle of the location, while others allow you to make a crushing attack. If you notice a sword, chainsaw or other dangerous-looking object, stand next to it. Press R1 or RB to use it as a one-shot weapon. The enemy can also block and interrupt such attacks.
Air attacks
Jumping strikes, especially kicks, cause enormous damage. To push your opponent back, jump forward and press circle on PlayStation 4 or B on Xbox One . But there is also an anti-air attack: it protects against the opponent’s attacks from above and at the same time deprives him of some of his health. To do this, use the combination “down + triangle” or “down + Y”.
How to perform a fatality
The particularly brutal finishing moves from the new Mortal Kombat installment have not gone away. Fatalities can be performed in story and other game modes if you win the match. Each character looks and performs these techniques differently.
Available fatalities can be viewed in the list of techniques. At first, you will have access to one, the simplest finishing move. Next to the name of the fatality it is indicated at what distance from the enemy – close, medium or far – the blow must be performed. Then all that remains is to exit the menu, press the buttons in the specified sequence and watch the bloody spectacle.
Which modes to try first?
The project has many different modes. Below is a list of those that are best to choose at the beginning of the game, while you are not yet too familiar with it.
Education
Even if you know the series like the back of your hand, learning Mortal Kombat 11 will still be useful. You will gain an understanding of basic mechanics and more advanced techniques. In addition, the game has training for each individual character. Thanks to this, you will learn the important movements of any hero.
Training
In this mode, you can try out every single attack of the selected character on your opponent. The latter stands still and does nothing. You won’t have to defend yourself, so you’ll practice your favorite strikes and learn which ones are most effective.
Story campaign
It will take you about five hours to complete the storyline. As it progresses, you will play as a variety of heroes and fight with many opponents. This way you will understand which characters suit your play style best. When the credits roll on the screen, you will be ready to fight with real players .
How the equipment works
Mortal Kombat 11 boasts an extensive character customization system. Thanks to it, you can create the perfect version of your favorite hero. Some characteristics are purely cosmetic, others affect behavior in battle.
On the character customization screen, you will find the “Abilities” section. You can remove skills that you don’t like. Replace them with ones that suit your play style. Some abilities take up more than one slot, so choose wisely.
