Noxious Reptile is a great support character (if haven't put your hands on Mileena - Ravenous of course)  for all your characters that do Poison or Bleed damage over time. His stats aren't amazing, but all his special attacks have either Poison or Regen, which sort of makes up for it.

Passive

Nimble Reptile is one of the least used characters from all Reptiles in the game. His special attack 1 includes Poison DOT whist special attack 2 increases his speed. I would recommend using SP1 when fighting with him and always team him up with other outworld characters because of his passive ability.

Passive

Survival of the fittest: Health Boost - 30% health for Outworld teammates.

2. Basilisk Runner - Attack: High damage + Speed
3. Extinction Event - X-Ray Attack: Extreme damage + Regen

Mileena Piercing has a passive which makes her effective only against certain characters - those who apply leed (eg. Scorpion - Hanzo Hassashi, Kitana - Assassin, Mileena - Vampiress, Baraka - Scourge or Mileena - Ravenous). She also needs to be in a team of those same characters so you can get the most out of her. Her special attack 1 is almost the same as of Mileena - Klassic, however, if you score 90% or more on the mini-game you still get only 2 hits, whilst Mileena - Klassik gets 3 (or she used to before update 3).

Passive

Bloodthirsty: Vampirism, Power Boost - Attacks on a bleeding enemy heal Mileena for 25% of damage dealt. Any bleed on Mileena grants her +1 bar of power.

1. Double Sai Blast- Attack: Medium damage
2. Sadistic Ways - Attack: High damage + Bleed

Sun God Kotal Kahn is a great character as a support because of his passive ability. Because if it, he is best teamed with other Outworld characters.

He moves slow, however, he does great damage, especially when he wears his signature equipment and strengthen with his 1^st special attack. His special attack two doesn't apply any DOT, but it uses grapple and it looks great 🤩.

Passive
