Passive

MK11 Liu Kang has a 35% unblockable chance on Special Attacks. With each successful hit Liu Kang applies a Concussion effect to his opponent, which stacks up to 50 times. Each Concussion increases critical hit chance and unblockable attack chance against the opponent by 1%. Liu Kang counterattacks the opponent's Special Attacks with a chance equal to the number of Concussion effects on the opponent.

Team Passive

For 15 seconds after tag-in, MK11 characters in Liu Kang's team are immune to Blind and their attacks cannot be dodged.

Role

Liu Kang is an active damage dealer who makes a chosen opponent progressively easier to pressure. Keep landing hits to build Concussion before committing your strongest attacks.

Strengths

His pressure improves both critical and unblockable chances against the affected target. He also gives MK11 allies a reliable opening against evasion immediately after they enter combat.

Weaknesses

Concussion needs successful hits and time to accumulate. His counterattack remains chance-based, so a dangerous enemy special still warrants defensive play.

Best teams

MK11 allies that rely on landing an important opening attack benefit directly from his protection against Blind and dodging. Rotate them deliberately to use the post-tag-in window.

Where to use

Choose him for evasive matchups and sustained fights where repeated contact with one opponent is possible. Short bursts that end before Concussion builds use less of his individual passive.
