Gold Characters

Raiden - Dark
Dark Raiden is a very special character in the game. He has a passive ability that we wish we have on each of our characters or at least part of it. He heals from DOTs as Fire, poison and bleed, he reverses the frostbite and gets more power instead of being power drained. Also, if he is confronted with Sonya Blade Kombat Cup, he instantly gets 3 bars of power instead of being tagged out. In addition, he also heals from any Dark Magic (often applied in Towers).
Now, it all sounds very nice, however, Dark Raiden is not invincible. There are many characters (eg Tremor - Aftershock) that can skip his passive, or just have better damage over Netherrealm characters in general and quickly defeat him, because of his low attack and health.
He is best teamed with Kenshi - Elder God and Shinnok - Vengeful.

Mortal Kombat Mobile Gold Characters Overview
The Gold tier is the most popular in the game with almost 100 characters. It come after the Silver and before the Diamond tier. We like to divide the golden characters into Challenge (the ones your can collect after completing a challenge mode) and non-challenge. Generally the challenge gold characters are stronger, faster and look and feel better when you play with them, whist the non-challenge characters are really good for support when it comes to their passive abilities. There are some exeptions ofcourse. Cassie Cage - Covert Ops for example has really good attack and health stats as well as really good passive ability. I believe she is the best non-challenge character for the price (only 250 souls from the store).
