Ermac was recently made available in Mortal Kombat 1 for those with the Kombat Pack thanks to its early access perk. Needless to say, a fairly sizeable balance patch was also packaged with Ermac’s release.
Of course, it’s not always enough to ascertain just how impactful the adjustments will be by simply reading the patch notes. As such, Rooflemonger recently released a video that has him covering the most significant changes by actually showing the gameplay.
Raiden has been consistently seen as a a top tier candidate since Mortal Kombat 1 was released. However, this latest patch may have knocked him down a peg as he’s received some notable nerfs.
Electromagnetic Storm and Enhanced Electromagnetic Storm are now even more unsafe on block, but they can still be covered with the right Kameos. After achieving his Electric Charge state, Razzle Dazzle has a varied version of the special that can spend Raiden’s Electric Charge mechanic for a one-time use that’s extra safe on block.
As for buffs, characters like Rain and Reptile have seen significant improvements. We may see them rise in the tier list as a result of this latest update.
