Passive

Doppelganger
On tag-in Shang Tsung morphs into one of his opponents for 20 seconds, allowing him to use their own Special Attacks and X-Ray/Fatal Blow. When below 2 Bars of Power, Shang Tsung passively generates Power over time.

Team Passive

Active MK11 teammates heal for 35% of their maximum health after defeating an opponent.

Role

MK11 Shang Tsung combines temporary access to an opponent's attacks with healing support for MK11 finishers. Evaluate his available form before deciding how to spend his power.

Strengths

His passive power recovery below two bars helps him return to special use after spending power. MK11 allies can recover health through their own eliminations rather than requiring Shang Tsung to take the finish.

Weaknesses

The copied form is temporary and cannot be taken from a boss. Do not plan around keeping the borrowed attacks for the whole fight.

Best teams

MK11 damage dealers that can reliably secure eliminations make the most direct use of his healing support. Let the fighter needing recovery take the finish when the exchange allows it.

Where to use

He suits multi-enemy battles where successive finishes help sustain the team. Adapt to the actual copied attacks instead of assuming every opponent provides equally useful control.
