How to Give Mercy
In Mortal Kombat 11, Mercy is a new finishing move that restores the opponent’s health so the battle can continue.
If you perform a Mercy, and then a Fatality, you will earn extra points for executing two finishing moves in a single match.
- When the screen displays “Finish Him/Her, stand mid-range from your opponent, and hold the Left Trigger on your controller.
- Press Down three times.
- Release the Left Trigger.
How to Perform Fatal Blows
Each character has a desperation attack that can be used once per match. When low on health, press both trigger buttons on the controller at the same time.
Fatal blows can be blocked or dodged like any other attack, but if they connect, they do brutal damage.
Mortal Kombat 11 is a fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and initially released in 2019 for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It was later released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in 2020.
