How to Perform Fatal Blows and What They Do in Mortal Kombat 11
NetherRealm Studios is back with the latest installment in the popular fighting game franchise, Mortal Kombat 11. Here’s how to perform Fatal Blows in Mortal Kombat 11 and what they do.
Whereas in Mortal Kombat X we got access to the very cool-looking X-Ray Attacks, they’ve been removed in this entry. Not to worry, though; the stylish and gory moves are still present, just in the form of the brand new Fatal Blows.
In order to use this move, your character’s health needs to fall below 30%. Once you’ve passed the health bar threshold, the Fatal Blow prompt will appear beneath your character’s health bar.
All you need to do at this point is hit the L2 and R2 buttons together at the same time to execute it. If you manage to hit your opponent, you’ll deal a ton of damage to them, and can easily shave off around 25 to 30% of their health.
If you miss the attack, however, the Fatal Blow will go on a short cooldown. You’ll need to wait a few seconds before you’re able to try to use it again. In a way, this makes the Fatal Blow a little more forgiving than the X-Ray Attacks, but the fact that you have to fall under 30% health makes it a little riskier to actually use.
Do be warned that your opponents will have access to their own Fatal Blows as well, so you’ll always need to be on the lookout for those. In addition to that, this move can only be used once in the entire fight, so if you don’t feel that you can win a particular round, it might be wiser to save it for the next one.
That’s all you need to know about how to use Fatal Blows and what they do in Mortal Kombat 11. Be sure to check our Mortal Kombat 11 guide wiki for more tips and information on the game.
