Liu Kang - MK11

Liu Kang MK11 Passive Ability Explained

Full Contact

MK11 Liu Kang is a high-pressure, unblockable fighter whose Full Contact passive makes him extremely dangerous against both defensive and high-HP opponents. His passive provides several effects:

Unblockable Special Attacks: Each Special Attack has a 35% chance to be unblockable, allowing consistent pressure against tough opponents.

Concussion Stacks: Every successful hit applies a Concussion effect, stacking up to 20–50 times. Each Concussion increases Liu Kang’s critical hit chance and unblockable attack chance by 1%, scaling his lethality over the course of a fight.

Counterattack: Liu Kang can counter opponents’ Special Attacks, with a chance equal to the number of Concussion effects on the target. This makes him a dangerous disruptor, especially against teams relying on repeated Special Attacks.

Passive Scaling Values:

Max Concussion effects: 20–50

Liu Kang MK11 Team Synergy

MK11 Liu Kang provides strong team-wide advantages when paired with other MK11 characters:

For 15 seconds after tag-in, all MK11 teammates are immune to Blind, ensuring their attacks always hit.

During this time, enemies cannot dodge attacks from his team, creating a significant advantage in timed or high-damage exchanges.

These effects make Liu Kang an excellent leader or support in MK11-focused teams, particularly in PvP or tower challenges where accuracy and uninterrupted damage are critical.
