Passive

Overwhelming Darkness
When Liu Kang starts a match, he has 100% critical hit chance and his opponent is stunned for 5 seconds. In Faction Wars, 35% chance for Lethal Blow.

Team Passive

Lethal Blow heal all Circle of Shadow teammates for 15% of the damage dealt.

Circle of Shadow Characters do 10% more damage versus Strike Force Characters.

Role

Circle of Shadow Liu Kang is an opening attacker with a specific Faction Wars lethal component. Place him at the start when you intend to exploit his immediate StunStunStun and critical opening.

Strengths

The opening control gives him a chance to begin offense before the first enemy establishes pressure. Lethal damage can also support Circle of Shadow recovery through his team interaction.

Weaknesses

The opening advantage depends on starting the match with him. His stated Faction Wars lethal chance should not be assumed to apply identically in every other mode.

Best teams

Kung Lao Circle of Shadow and Kitana Circle of Shadow receive the healing from lethal damage. Their own lethal sources can complement the recovery plan, while a follow-up fighter covers the period after the initial opening.

Where to use

Use him for a planned first-slot attack, particularly when his Faction Wars-specific benefit is relevant. Make the opening sequence count instead of immediately rotating away from the prepared StunStunStun.
