Ermac was recently released as Mortal Kombat 1’s latest DLC fighter. Despite being seen as a zoning character in previous Mortal Kombat entries, Ermac now functions more as a rush down character in Mortal Kombat 1.
Just how strong is Ermac in Mortal Kombat 1’s current meta? It would seem that TrueUnderDawgGaming recently teamed up with Diff to construct a new tier list for the game.
Ermac is being recognized as an top tier combatant, at the very top of this latest tier list. Other fighters present in this tier category are Kenshi, Ashrah, Johnny Cage, Rain, Liu Kang, and more.
As it turns out, the latest batch of nerfs for Raiden were quite impactful as they’ve dropped him down into the high tier category. The same could be said of Peacemaker who was also observed to be a top tier candidate before he recent nerfs.
Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Nitara are said to be the weakest characters in Mortal Kombat 1 overall right now. Due to this, they’ve been labeled as being low tier, but it’s interesting to note that no character was placed in the “trash tier” group, indicating that every combatant in Mortal Kombat 1 at least brings something to the table.
