Mortal Kombat Onslaught tier list (November 2023)

NetherRealm Studios expanded the franchise lore with Mortal Kombat Onslaught. Released on October 17 for Android and iOS, the game features iconic fighters from the wildly popular Mortal Kombat series. In this RPG, you can challenge players worldwide in PvP and unfurl the new narrative in Story, along with Chasm and Boss Tower modes.

Regardless of the mode, selecting, upgrading, and including the best fighters in your roster is the only key to winning. However, the process might be daunting, with over 40 characters on offer. To dispel the conundrum, this article ranks all Mortal Kombat characters into different tiers based on their combat prowess.

Scorpion and Sindel reign supreme in the Mortal Kombat Onslaught tier list for November 2023

Mortal Kombat Onslaught divides each unit into four classes: Warrior, Assassin, Attacker, Sniper, Support, and Defender. They define the playstyle of each fighter on the battlefield. You can trigger their Special Skills by tapping its icon while they automatically unleash the basic attack. Additionally, they possess unique elemental types, Mind, Body, and Spirit, which have distinct pros and cons.

With that in mind, this article divides all fighters into SS, S, A, B, and C tiers. The SS-tiers are the cream of the crop, whereas C-tiers are better left untouched.

• Kano
• Firestarter Black Dragon

B-tier Mortal Kombat fighters do not provide much utility in mid and end-game, with their influence confined to early game stages. However, it’s best not to use your resources on their upgrades. Utilize them only if you lack SS, S, and A-tier fighters.

• Royal Guard Shokan Warrior
• Baraka
• Elite Guard Shao Soldier
• Fujin
• Lancer Shokan Warrior
• Blademistress Shokan Warrior

C-tier

The C-tier fighters rank last because they provide little to no utility. Beginners of this gacha game can use them to gain a better grasp on the meta and learn the ropes. Players should quickly employ better units from SS, S, and A-tiers.

• Deadly Spirit
• Guardian Spirit
• Sergeant Special Forces
• Mending Spirit
• Brute Tarkatan Warrior
• Medic Special Forces

It’s worth noting that the Mortal Kombat Onslaught tier list changes with every update. Developers at NetherRealm introduce new fighters and nerf or buff the existing ones, which alters the rankings.

Additionally, it’s advisable to use the characters that match your playstyle. However, lower-tier options will require constant upgrades to have a sustained influence on your team.
