Taking these previously made tier lists into account with our own opinion after having played Mortal Kombat 11 extensively, we’ve created a Mortal Kombat 11 tier list that should highlight the best characters for competitive play. However, we caution that there is some subjectivity when it comes to fighting game tier lists, and personal skill will almost always play the biggest factor when trying to win competitive Mortal Kombat 11 matches online.
With that in mind, here is our Mortal Kombat 11 tier list:
S Tier
Erron Black Raiden Scorpion
A Tier
Geras Kabal The Kollector Noob Saibot Shao Kahn
B Tier
Cetrion Frost Jax Johnny Cage Kano Kung Lao Sub-Zero
C Tier
D’Vorah Jacqui Briggs Jade Kotal Kahn Liu Kang Sonya Blade
D Tier
Baraka Skarlet
E Tier
Cassie Cage Kitana
Again, the Mortal Kombat 11 tier list is somewhat subjective, but the above list seems to be the general consensus. However, it’s quite possible that the Mortal Kombat 11 tier list will change dramatically in the coming weeks and months as the game is featured in tournaments and professional fighting game players have a chance to put it to the test in a truly competitive setting.
Something else that may impact the Mortal Kombat 11 tier list is the introduction of MK11 DLC characters like Shang Tsung, as well as updates to the game by NetherRealm. NetherRealm could take steps to nerf certain characters or moves, or conversely, buff them to make them stronger. Re-balancing the game is almost a guarantee as NetherRealm continues to tweak it with patches and updates.
Ultimately, we recommend Mortal Kombat 11 players select whatever character they want from the MK11 roster to master, but they stand the best chance at being competitive online if they stick to characters near the top of the tier list.
Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
