How To Use
This MK11 team uses Liu Kang as the main active fighter, Noob Saibot for Death Mark and additional control, and Shang Tsung as support for sustain and utility. Keep Liu Kang active for most of the fight and build Concussion through repeated attacks. Concussion improves the team's Critical Hit and unblockable chances against the target, while Liu Kang's MK11 passive also gives tagged-in MK11 teammates temporary Blind immunity and prevents their attacks from being dodged. Use Noob Saibot when you need Death Mark or a safer control window. His Special Attacks apply Death Mark, while his Shadow can counterattack when an MK11 teammate blocks an enemy Special Attack. Abyssal Wraith's Shadow also adds Incurability on tag-in, making Noob especially useful against opponents that rely on healing. Shang Tsung mainly supports the rotation. MK11 teammates heal after defeating an opponent, helping Liu Kang and Noob recover during longer fights. Ceremonial Pipe can also steal ordinary buffs even while Shang Tsung is tagged out. The main rotation is Liu Kang → Noob Saibot → Liu Kang. Keep Liu Kang on the field for sustained pressure, bring Noob in to apply Death Mark or Incurability, then return to Liu Kang to continue attacking.
