The first Mortal Kombat 1 beta has given players a glimpse of the upcoming fighter’s initial roster. While the beta was only available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, we’ve compiled an MK1 tier list to see how the playable characters stack up so far.
Who’s Playable in the MK1 Beta?
The MK1 beta includes the following fighters:
- Liu Kang
- Sub-Zero
- Kitana
- Kenshi
- Johnny Cage
- Li Mei
Sadly, the beta is only on Xbox and PlayStation – PC players will have to wait for impressions. Even so, this early tier list can help you learn which fighters to master when MK1 launches.
Who’s on the MK1 Beta Tier List?
| Tier | Fighters |
|---|---|
| S | Liu Kang, Sub-Zero |
| A | Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kitana, Li Mei |
Liu Kang
His newfound fire god abilities amplify his already formidable kick combos and array of special moves. His user-friendly nature combined with unmatched projectile capabilities secures him a spot at the pinnacle.
Sub-Zero
With a repertoire of attacks that can turn opponents into human popsicles, Sub-Zero employs both ordinary and special moves. His agility, slides, and screen-launching combo extenders make him a potent contender, trailing just behind Liu Kang’s combo potential.
Best MK1 Kameo Characters
| Tier | Kombatants |
|---|---|
| S | Frost, Sonya Blade |
| A | Jax, Kano |
Frost
Unquestionably, Frost possesses the most impactful assist ability. Her frozen orb immobilizes foes, offering opportunities for creative combos or interrupting enemy onslaughts. She also boasts the ability to freeze terrain and pierce enemies with icy knives.
Sonya Blade
Throughout the first beta, Sonya’s versatility shone bright, making her assist the most utilized. With projectiles, aerial maneuvers, and throws, Sonya provides a well-rounded support system for players.
The MK1 roster will expand after launch, but this initial tier list showcases the strongest fighters so far. We’ll have to wait and see how the meta evolves when the full game arrives.
