Strategy[]
Flaming Fists Liu Kang despite his aging in the current meta, is still a formidable fighter, especially useful for beginners. His passive functions similar to Scorpion/Inferno, but deals less damage for the speed boost and extra critical chance. Therefore, it's recommended to equip him with equipment that benefit basic attacks, especially his signature Red Headband for unblockable attacks and extra power gen.
Interactions[]
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Liu Kang. Having a card that "counters" Liu Kang does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With[]
- Kung Lao/Hat Trick & Triborg/Cyrax (LK-4D4): Their critical damage boosts synergize well with Liu Kang's passive.
- Goro/Tigrar Fury: He helps Liu Kang inflict fire on tag-in.
- Triborg/Sektor (LK-9T9): He can boost fire damage of his team.
- Bo' Rai Cho/Dragon Breath
Good Against[]
- Jason Voorhees/Nightmare: His strong basic attacks can deal huge amount of damage without the need of special attacks.
- Sonya Blade/Kold War & Shinnok/Vengeful: Same to the above.
- Characters with slow speed.
Countered By[]
- Jade/MK11: She can evade his basic attacks.
- Characters with critical damage immunity, such as Kenshi/Elder God.
- Johnny Cage/Kombat Cup: Johnny may stun his opponent if the enemy team intents to tag.
- Characters with snare.
