Frostbite

Home / Glossary / Frostbite

Frostbite

Frostbite is a negative effect in Mortal Kombat Mobile that drains Power over time and reduces the affected fighter's speed/tempo. While it is active, Power fills more slowly or is exhausted continuously, and the character fights slower.

Frostbite can be applied by specific characters, equipment, and Kameos. Strength and duration follow the source card. Do not confuse it with Freeze: Freeze fully locks actions for a short time; Frostbite slows the fighter and drains Power while they can still act.
