The Kameo Fighter system is basically the lifeblood of what makes Mortal Kombat 1’s gameplay unique and feeling pretty fresh for the franchise, but not all assists are created equal.
Content creator and big NetherRealm player True Under Dawg Gaming recently released what he’s calling the “definitive Kameo tier list” for MK1 after comparing his opinions to the pro competitors and digging through tournament matches.
As should come as little surprise to anyone following the game, Cyrax takes the top spot for his ability to make pretty much anything safe on block as well as big damage in combos with his helicopter spin assist.
After that, however, TUDG breaks away from some other rankings like Rooflemonger’s Kameo tiers by putting Jax at number two for his unblockable and forced jump setups that players are figuring out how to abuse well now.
Overall, he only has three different tier levels ranging from crazy good to very good, so it seems he feels that everyone at least has a purpose even if Shujinko and Motaro don’t have as much to do.
Some of you may also be surprised by his placements for Goro, Sareena and Sub-Zero though we’ll let him explain why.
If you missed it before, TUDG also put together a full tier list for MK1’s main fighters recently too.
You can check out TUDG’s full Kameo tier list below as well as his video breaking down his rankings as well as what makes the assists good and useful.
