Mortal Kombat 1has 29 playable characters in total, not including Kameo characters. It’s important to note that of these characters—Shang Tsung—is a pre-order exclusive. Furthermore, six characters are only obtainable via the Kombat Pack 1 DLC. These six characters are Ermac, Homelander, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, Quan Chi, and Takeda. We’ve put together aMortal Kombat 1character tier list to highlight the best current characters inMortal Kombat 1. The Kombat Pack 1 DLC has not yet released, so this will include the base 22 characters as well as the pre-order exclusive, Shang Tsung. Here is ourMortal Kombat 1character tier list:
S Tier
The S Tier of our character tier list forMortal Kombat 1is essentially the best of the best. These characters can excel in most match ups, and you should consider learning them.
A Tier
Our A Tier characters are still strong and forces to be reckoned with when played right. If you like any of these characters and get good at them, you can compete with most S Tier characters inMortal Kombat 1.
B Tier
In the B Tier, theseMortal Kombat 1characters are still perfect fine, just not as good as the others on this tier list. At this point you may still probably master these characters and be competitive in most matchups. Of course, someone who has mastered a B Tier character will still be better than someone that’s just good at an S Tier character.
C Tier
Characters in the C Tier probably need some work before we’d really consider them too viable. Of course you can learn the right Kombos and mix with proper Kameos to make use of certain situations with these characters. But, overall, you’re probably better off learning one of the many above characters.
This is our currentMortal Kombat 1character tier list that highlights who we feel are the best characters at the moment. Of course as balance changes and updates are released, we may change this tier list accordingly.
