Havik buffs
MK1 Havik gets some improvements.
- His B2 is faster. This buff makes the move a good choice to punish opponents if their attacks have a gap, like F4, 3, 4 of Liu Kang.
- Havik has a new move, a stretchy kick. It pops up if you use the meter on it, so that’s a ground bounce move. It’s useful as a combo starter.
- Another new move is a low launcher. Havik breaks his own knees to get so low. The move is used for MK1 combos.
- J2, 4 has been changed, so more combos are possible with it, as the move doesn’t push Havik back as much as before.
Sub-Zero (Kameo) buffs
- Kameo Sub-Zero gets a parry move: it freezes the main character and then transits the freeze to the opponent on hit. If the opponent delays their hit to avoid the parry, it is possible to throw the ice clone at them.
Jax (Kameo) buffs
- Kameo Jax gets back his classic move. He grabs the opponent’s kameo and punches them. With two hits of armor, Jax can stop the other kameo’s moves and punish
That’s all about changes for Havik, Kameo Sub-Zero, and Kameo Jax. The MK1 Khaos Reigns patch notes should reveal details on other gameplay adjustments. For Mortal Kombat 1 news and updates, stick around on esports.gg!
