Lightning Damage Boost: 35%
Soaked Duration: 20 seconds
MK11 Rain starts a match with one bar of Power. Rain has a 10% chance to immediately counter-attack an opponent’s Basic Attacks. This counter-attack applies the Soaked debuff. Characters affected by Soaked are Slowed and take 35% more damage from Lightning Attacks. Each instance of a Lightning attack will hit all enemies affected by Soaked (even those tagged out). Soaked lasts 20 sec.
Team Passive
Role
MK11 Rain prepares enemies for Lightning damage through Soaked while supporting recovery for selected teammates. His starting power also gives him an early special-attack option.
Strengths
Soaked can make Lightning pressure reach affected enemies on the bench. The recovery support continues after Rain is defeated, so its value is not tied to keeping him active.
Weaknesses
His basic-attack counter is chance-based, making it an unreliable emergency defense. The Lightning interaction requires the relevant enemies to be Soaked rather than automatically damaging the entire team.
Best teams
Raiden fighters with Lightning attacks can exploit the damage interaction and receive his recovery support. MK11 allies also qualify for recovery, even when their attacks do not use Lightning.
Where to use
Use Rain when spreading Lightning damage across affected targets is part of the plan. Avoid relying on a counter occurring at exactly the moment you need Soaked.
