Strategy

Quan Chi is a powerful kard that is able to reflect special attacks and heal Circle of Shadow teammates and himself with vampirism on tag-in. During vampirism, the reflected damage from his passive also heal him, making him a durable and deadly tank.

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 Quan Chi. Having a card that "counters" Quan Chi does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With

• Circle of Shadow teammates.
• Jade/Assassin & Jason Voorhees/Nightmare: Alongside Quan Chi these characters can work around an annoying team on Evasion as Quan Chi can reflect Special Attacks and Jade and Jason can both evade Special Attacks (and Combo Enders in Jade's case).
• Varan Jacket and maxed Dark Mantle equipments: These equipments can make the wearer evade special attacks, making Quan Chi more tough to deal with.

Good Against

• Strike Force Characters.
• Characters who deal heavy damage on Special Attacks like Liu Kang/Klassic, Jax Briggs/Heavy Weapons, Erron Black/Gunslinger, Sub-Zero/Klassic, Shinnok/Vengeful, etc: Quan Chi can reflect tons of damage back to all of these guys if they are the first 3 Special Attacks.

Countered By

• Assassin Characters.
• Invulnerability.
• Damage over time effects: DOTs can damage Quan Chi without the risk of damage reflection.
• X-Rays and Fatal Blows: Quan Chi cannot reflect the damage of X-Rays or Fatal Blows.
• Characters who can deal fast and strong basic attacks such as Liu Kang/Fire God, Ronin Team and Scorpion/MK11.
• Liu Kang/Klassic, Raiden/Dark & Raiden/MK11: All 3 of these characters are immune to Quan Chi's Power Drains with MK11 Raiden spreading this immunity to MK11 teammates.
• Tanya/Treacherous: Tanya reduces the effects of Power Drain to herself and her teammates.
