Fire

Fire is a negative damage-over-time effect in Mortal Kombat Mobile that both burns health and drains Power. A burning character takes damage over time and also loses Power while the effect remains active, so Fire pressures survivability and Special Attack readiness at once. That makes it useful for finishing weakened targets and for delaying enemy Special Attack windows.

Fire is applied by specific characters, equipment, and Kameos. Tick strength, Power loss rate, duration, and special conditions follow the source card. The Applies section lists confirmed sources. Immune to and Resists show cards that ignore or reduce Fire according to their descriptions; Benefits from lists cards that gain an advantage when Fire is present. Always read the individual card text before treating resistance as full immunity.
