The Mortal Kombat 11 1.28 update patch notes bring some balance changes to the title after Ultimate’s release last year. This doesn’t radically rebalance the game, but it does have some good solid changes in here. These are also the MK11 1.000.004 update patch notes on PS5. And keep in mind that this update is only on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S for the time being.
Mortal Kombat 11 1.28 Update Patch Notes | Balance tweaks
This patch touches some of the cast in small ways. There are some health changes, which are quite important. Kotal Kahn now has 1,050 health instead of 1,100. Shao Kahn now has 1,100 instead of 1,050. And RoboCop now has 1,050 health instead of 1,000. Sheeva’s oft-maligned Dragon Drop is now off screen for two more frames and her Dragon Stance is two frames slower on startup.
The other changes are quite small. Kotal’s Chicahtoc and Eztli Totems no longer conflict in competitive modes. Kano’s Snake Bite launcher now has one more active frame and the second hit has one less startup frame. D’Vorah, Kung Lao, Mileena, and Rambo all had small changes to their animations or moves. It’s nothing huge but is still worth reading through.
