Fear

Fear is a negative control effect in Mortal Kombat Mobile that forces a character to tag out. When Fear is applied, the affected fighter must leave the active position, which interrupts their pressure, wastes setup, and can pull in a less prepared teammate. Fear is strongest against teams that rely on one carry staying on point or on long buff windows on a single fighter.

Fear can be applied by specific characters, equipment, and Kameos. Conditions such as chance, trigger, and any once-per-match limits depend on the source card. The Applies section lists confirmed sources. On the EN page, Immune to and Benefits from may also appear when related cards exist; the RU page currently shows Applies only. Before a matchup, confirm protection against Fear on the individual card text rather than assuming a resistance block is present on every locale page.
