Homelander and his compatibility patch were recently released into Mortal Kombat 1. This didn’t change much for the existing characters, though it did oddly revert the Kameo Cyrax to the way he was before the nerfs.
Regardless, Tweedy has taken this as an opportunity to create a new tier list for Mortal Kombat 1, just before Final Kombat starts. Tweedy seems confident enough to rank the newest addition to Mortal Kombat 1, Homelander.
Funnily enough, it was recently discovered that Homelander has an extremely simple infinite block string. As such, it’s difficult to imagine how Homelander could be anything other than top tier in his current form.
The other characters noted as being top tier are Peacemaker, Johnny Cage, Tanya, Sindel, and Kenshi. Peacemaker sits at the very top of the tier list despite recently receiving some nerfs to his kit, which really pushed him over the edge.
High tier contains the most activity with 12 characters being positioned in this category. A few examples of characters placed here include Mileena, Reiko, Baraka, Ermac, Ashrah, Quan Chi, and Omni-Man.
It’s certainly interesting to note that all of the DLC characters appear to be high tier or better in Mortal Kombat 1. Of course, it should also be mentioned that Shang Tsung, the pre-order bonus fighter of Mortal Kombat 1, sits in mid tier.
Out of all the characters, Geras and Reptile sit at the very bottom despite NetherRealm Studios’ attempts to buff both fighters. Check it all out below:
