In Mortal Kombat Mobile, X-Ray and Fatal Blow attacks are unblockable, deal extreme damage and may provide a Buff (to the user's team) or deal a Debuff (to the opponent team) and can only be activated by a Gold or Diamond character in the game. X-Rays and Fatal Blows cannot be activated by Bronze or Silver characters. It takes all 3 Bars of Power for a Gold or Diamond character (Konqueror Shao Kahn could start with 4 Bars of Power if equipped with his Helmet, Wrath Hammer and Bloody Tomahawk previously) to perform their attacks. MK11 and MK1 characters have X-Rays replaced with Fatal Blows. Terminator/Dark Fate and Terminator/Guardian are currently the only characters in the game who can avoid these powerful attacks as a part of their Passives. MK11 Shang Tsung and Klassic Shang Tsung are the only characters that have no buffs or debuffs applied after their Fatal Blows. Since X-Rays and Fatal Blows kount as unblockable attacks, the Centaurian Defense talent has a maximum chance of 20% to fully reflect the entire damage back at the user.
A buff on an X-Ray or Fatal Blow for example is when Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Leatherface and Kano's X-Rays give Strength to themselves and to their teammates. Other buffs include Regen (regenerates health), Dispel (removes debuffs), Shield (increases defense), Luck (increases critical chance) and Power (increases power generation).
A debuff on an X-Ray or Fatal Blow for example is when Jason Voorhees, Mileena and Baraka's X-Rays and Skarlet and Rain’s Fatal Blows deal Bleed DOT to the opponent. Other debuffs include Fire (DOT that slowly drains power), Curse (opponent deals more critical damage), Weaken (reduces opponent damage), Blind (makes attacks miss), Power Drain (drains opponent's power), Cripple (prevents opponents from using a special attack), Frostbite (drains opponent's power and slows them) and Death Mark (prevents opponent resurrection).
