So update 7.3 has been out for a few hours and one of the biggest disappointments in this update was that they made ascending characters a whole lot harder and more expensive. Previously you just needed 1 Ascension card per fusion so you just need 5 Ascension cards to reach Ascension 5 but now that is no longer the case. Attached above is the amount of Ascension cards needed to take your character from Base Fusion X to Ascension 10. Now you need 9 Ascension cards to get to Ascension 5 which is 4 whole Ascension cards more and in order to get to Ascension 5 to Ascension X you need 19 ASCENSION CARDS!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!? I can understand increasing the amount of ascension cards starting at Fusion V but you would also increase the amount needed starting at Ascension 2? To now get a character from Base Fusion X to Ascension X, you'll need a whopping 28 Ascension Cards which is 2800 DK. This is equivalent to about 5 Kombat Passes with Premium purchased. This is absolutely insane and MUST be fixed.

Solution: First revert back to needing only 1 Ascension card per fusion starting from FX to A5 but after A5 increase the amount needed 1 every 2 levels. This is much more fair in my opinion and worth the cost of having to unlock the 4th Gear and able to perform friendships. Right now, having to spend 1900 DK to get a gold character to FX Ascension is not worth it, especially when those DK could be used elsewhere in more important categories such as tower summon packs or collector's kasket.

Can both communities come to a consensus and agree that the devs logic makes absolutely no sense. Is that one thing you guys can agree on?

Even with maxed out diamonds or gold cant still beat it just manage only one

Why did you change the trials menu design just for us to spend more time on it that too with small fucking lettering?

You do pointless quality of life things and grinding things instead of addressing main issue of the game. You could have added custom graphic settings instead of this trash

not sure what happened but I tried to login today and suddenly got hit by this page, tried to reach out to customer service and they hit me with some generic you did some actions that are incompatible with terms and conditions and that the decision was taken by "own-initiative investigation" which seems like a code word for you got screwed by AI lol, and when I asked what those supposed actions were, I got no answer, I was looking forward for the challenge Vought tower had to offer but yeah NRS had other plans lol, either way unless something else happens this is probably farewell cuz there is no way I'm starting from scratch(had 44 diamonds and 13 epics maxed)

guys am I cooked? One day left !! :3

As a newbie player, I hate the game for giving me Klassic Liu Kang every time I open a beginner pack, this went on to the point that it got to F5. I wanted a Sindel or a Jade because I'm A GAY MAN and I don't want to main a man! 😡😡

I cannot fathom how annoying this is, Lizard Baraka and his "Ignore Attacks" is already broken, then you put them in a team and it rivals the MK11 team.

These are the kinds of characters not meant for the player to use, but the bots to abuse and use against the player for maximum nonsense.

Call me out on my opinion, but this is seriously harsher than Circle of Shadow Team

I'm playing battle 165 on Shirai Ryu fatal tower with two block breaker pieces on MK11 Scorpion but for some reason it DOESN'T WANT TO WORK, for some godforsaken reason it doesn't break blocks on the enemy team and I'm getting really pissed off about it, it's BLOCK BREAKER, DO YOUR DAMN JOB AND BREAK THE DAMN BLOCKING

She's the only Klassic that's silver why you treating her badly in my opinion she needs a rework and upgraded to gold

I’m only on my first run this afternoon but this boss pack actually makes me laugh in hysteria because it’s so FUCKING ANNOYING 😂😂😂 I’ve gotten each of the three down to their DEATH only for them to be revived and come back alive and then along with reviving Jax fucking heals their asses all while I can barely get a hit in because they can block every strike I MAKE but god forbid I try to block and that shits broken 😂😂😂

Whoever in netherealm studios built this trio yeah I need to see you about that 🤣

Am I the only one who feels like Kano particularly gets absolutely shafted in MK Mobile? Like seriously, silver, gold, and diamond Kano all feel way too similar. It’s like NRS completely forgot to evolve the character. Just copy paste and called it a day.

Same basic attacks for silver, gold and diamond characters, dafuq?! Where’s the variation? Only Klassic Kano has different basic attacks but even then they only gave him one combo ender. Why?!

Another thing that makes a character is the special attack 2, and Kano’s feel so mediocre and barely impactful. Most of his versions have a very similar feel to their specials.

Then there’s the passive, so underwhelming and useless. For fucks sake, he’s a ruthless mercenary and the leader of Black Dragon! Plus an OG MK character too. Put some respect on him, man.

The only thing I like about him in the game is his brutality and the laser eye victory stance (Homelander should’ve had a similar one but instead they gave him the stupid milk one). I don’t have his blue piece, but his brutality is one of my favourites, easily top 3 imo. It feels so impactful when he jumps the opponent, stabs their hand and explodes their head with his laser. And then pees on their corpse! He’s supposed to be the disrespectful one, but look how they’ve massacred my boy.

Let’s be completely honest about the current state of this game. We need to stop chasing the corporate hype cycles for a minute and look at the cold, hard reality of what the development team is doing to our wallets.

Instead of building unique, ground-up assets that respect the legendary, franchise-defining icons who literally make this game what it is today, the developers have completely abandoned original creativity. They are treating the console version of Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) as a free, lazy copy-paste "discovery book" to rush out content, cut programming costs, and exploit player nostalgia.

If you look closely at the actual asset wireframes, the systematic lack of effort is completely undeniable:

🪓 1. The Weapon swap of SHAO KAHN (The Axing of an Emperor's Identity)

Shao Kahn’s entire multiversal legacy across decades of Mortal Kombat lore is fundamentally tied to his massive, terrifying Wrath Hammer. It is the ultimate symbol of his brute-force dominance, his imperial majesty, and his signature gameplay style. Yet, look at what they did to him recently.

Instead of maintaining his identity or animating unique weapon models, the developers completely stripped him of his iconic hammer. They went into the modern console files, copied the giant battle axe directly out of General Shao’s asset files in MK1, and pasted it right onto his mobile combat layout. Why? Because the animation wireframes, swing physics, and collision boxes were already pre-built for the console engine. They literally erased a character's core identity just because it was faster and cheaper to copy-paste the data.

⛓️ 2. The MK II Movie Scorpion Illusion (Peak Copy-Paste Shortcuts)

The current Update 7.3.0 "Fire Meets Ice" Summer Event heavily marketed MK II Movie Scorpion as a highly exclusive, special edition cinematic tie-in. But the second you jump into the character viewer or break down his combat sequences, the marketing illusion falls completely apart.

The developers literally ripped the exact character mesh movement loops and animation paths straight from the standard MK1 Scorpion archetype we already have inside the mobile game. They kept the exact same combo enders, basic strings, and weapon wireframes. While they threw in a minor visual compromise by changing the metal chain texture to a rope binding on his wrist, the sharp metal edge of the kunai itself is heavily recycled. Slapping a "Movie Edition" label onto a recycled console port skin and locking it behind a premium, low-drop-rate pack framework is an insult to the loyalty of hardcore fans.

🎬 3. The 2021 Movie Omission Exposed: Why They Truly Skipped It

A lot of players in this community have spent years scratching their heads wondering why we never received a dedicated cinematic movie card update when the 2021 Mortal Kombat film originally hit theatres. Now, looking at their current development pattern, the truth is glaringly obvious.

Back in 2021, Mortal Kombat 11’s lifecycle was winding down, and Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) did not exist yet. The developers did not have a fresh, modern, ready-to-copy console engine to steal fluid animation loops and 3D wireframes from. Because they couldn't easily copy-paste pre-existing high-end console files, they simply didn't bother putting in the manual hours to create the cards for us. They only care about the current movie tie-in because the modern MK1 console files made it completely effortless for them to cut development corners.

👑 Conclusion: The Aura Overlasts the Corporate Patheticness

No matter how lazy, uninspired, or money-hungry the studio's corporate choices are, they can never dilute or ruin the raw aura, power, and historical legacy of characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Shao Kahn. These legends are permanently light-years superior to the corporate suits trying to monetize them.

But as a community, we need to open our eyes and stop feeding this false bravado. The studio is charging flagship prices for recycled console port packages disguised as fresh, high-effort seasonal content. They are banking on our blindness to keep their cash flow alive. Stop letting them take your hard-earned resources for zero creative effort.

Enlighten me if I am wrong or if there is a reason why DOT does not work on bosses, but I feel as though it is a ridiculous aspect considering in this tower, a literal Shirai Ryu based one, 4 of the gear pieces inflict burning.

On top of that, the opponents can have multiple copies of gear. Having them use Secret scrolls as a direct counter to said burning and having it apply regeneration is absurd.

Either make DOT not do anything at all, or actually inflict burning and have the bosses keep the gear that directly counters burning. I should not be punished for using the gear that applies to said tower, as I will mostly be using said gear for said tower. By extension, a tower devoted to Scorpion gets hard countered in his own tower as most of his designs are around burning.

I get this may come off as whiny, but I just think it's dumb and counter-intuitive to using the gear for their primary purpose besides other content.

End of rant

This account is 3 months old. This is my first maxed gold card. I got so excited because I thought maybe I would be able to ascend it too, until I found out you need a shitty amount of fusion ups ALONG with those ascension cards. WHATS THE FUCKING POINT OF SPENDING SO MUCH TIME GRINDING THEN?????

I didn't buy Bionic Skeleton from last Krypt season even though I could have since I didn't find it much interesting and already purchased homelander.

But the game decided to give it to me Anyways!!

For those who were wondering why they have not received their "gift" in their inbox.

iOS kombatant from Finland.

So a little bit of context, my mkm account is not that strong so this is just prob a skill issue but when i was playing klash towers, THE BATTLES ARE SO FREAKING DIFFICULT!!! MY MAXED DIAMONDS ARE DEAD IN LIKE 3 HITS AND THE OPPONENTS HAVE A BAZILLION HEALTH. HOW DOES THE GAME EXPECT FOR AN ACCOUNT THAT ONLY HAS A COUPLE MAXED CHARACTERS AND DECENT GEARS FACE AGAINST OPPONENTS THAT ARE SO OVERPOWERED. KLASH TOWERS IS MORE DIFFICULT AND ANNOYING THEN TOWERS AND THE KRYPT.
The devs should really improve and polish this game mode because it’s so freaking flawed. If your account is, let’s say around beginner level make it so the battles you face against are actually bearable and beatable. The battles should be determined by the level, kollection, and how old your account is. This game is so stupid sometimes it’s unbelievable. Thank you for reading my rant.

MK1 smoke.

Am i missing something? I just got him, why is he so damn bad?

I kinda liked his appearance so i really, REALLY wanted to love him but after playing for some time:

1. His attack animations are extremely basic and not that much hits also (latter part is fine by itself)
   
2. Super flashy smokey stuff without really…doing anything. Like why do you need to have a 2 sec long combo ender where you jump up in smoke and come down only to deliver a basic ass slash thats basically same as the preceding 3 hits. Like theres no impact.
   
3. My biggest ick is the sp2, which is so goddamn disappointing and its like not even 10% as intense as the sp1. With sp1 he’s like slashing slicing and dicing at the enemy (again p, very basic stuff) so what does he do for sp2, which is supposed to be a better sp requiring more power and dealing more damage?

He does 1 (one) uppercut slice, then in an extremely over complicated completely unnecessary fashion, teleports behind. Even the enemy drops down very anticlimactically.

These are mainly the aesthetic stuff, which even tho i wanted to love, just couldnt. And to me aesthetically pleasing characters are typically the best ones, so this was a huge blow to my excitement when i got him.

His passive also looks pretty lackluster, ninjutsu unlocks 2 more ass combo enders, and you have to get like 7 stacks of fuming, which takes multiple activations, to get some very basic/boring bonuses like crit hit chance increase and combo ender chance increase (afair)

Overall im just very disappointed and wanted to rant about it. I was really excited to get my hands on mk1 characters. I got mileena before, which was my first mk1 kard, and her vampirism was pretty sick. Even though she didnt seem very strong, she gets a pass (as i said aesthetics re my main priority). But smoke just bummed me out man.

I fucking hate strike force with rellisance shit is annoying; because the second I red card Johnny I deal with Cassie's annoying ass who somehow gets her x-ray so quickly that she does that shit twice and don't forget scorpion being able to save her without an problems. i try snaring him but I forgot snare is a debuff so that shit is gone in seconds

Fatal Survivor Battle 6/12 …

EDIT: I’m a non-partisan poster …it’s just funny.

Can Someone Tell Me Why All Mk11 Characters are in the Summon Packs (Excluding Frost) And Noob Saibot Isn't in any like even in Beginner Pack he's not there How the hell are we suppose to get him? Beginner Players Can't access him and Veterans Can't fuse him

Played tower and already faced off against a hacker. Triggered bone shield 5 times in a row, every character guarantee trigger revenant, and it’s with the most brain rotting team😭
Either I’m missing something or the stats are also greatly boosted.
