Mortal Kombat 1 has gone through its latest evolution as the game’s latest patchdropped last week and with it brought balance changes, Takeda, and a new Kameo character that’s turning heads: Ferra.
Now that we’ve had a few days to play as Ferra PNDKM have come out with a video taking a closer look at her abilities as they try to answer whether or not she’s rapidly become the best Kameo option in MK1.
First off, Ferra grants her counterpart more health than any other Kameo on the roster. Some Kameos lower your overall health, others buff it, but none grant you the whopping extra 150 health points that Ferra does.
On top of making you more resilient, Ferra can hop on your back (as she’s wont to do) and threaten with a gnarly high/low mix up. This is fairly strong in and of itself, but pair it with Ferra’s Pain and Gain damage enhancement and some characters become capable of absolutely melting your health bar.
You might suppose that a teammate that’s both so versatile and grants bonus health would at least be tricky to use, but PNDKM explain that Ferra is surprisingly simple and straightforward to use.
They go on to detail which main characters Ferra seems like she’s pairing best with as they discuss certain sequences and strategies. You can view the full breakdown in the video below, and afterwards we’d love to hear your current thoughts on MK1’s newest Kameo character in the comments.
