Mortal Kombat 1: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

23. Nitara

It may sound harsh, but Mortal Kombat 1 would've had a tighter roster without Nitara.

Simply put, the blood-craving succubus doesn't bring anything to the table. Serving as a generic lackey, she has no effect or emotional impact on the plot. Her design is surprisingly uncreative. And Megan Fox's performance as Nitara makes Ronda Rousey's Sonya Blade from MK11 seem Oscar-worthy.

Now, some of these downers could be forgiven, if Nitara's fighting chops were up to standards. Though the Vaeternian vixen has a few interesting mechanics, they always seem to have a catch. Her best Specials can't be accessed unless she uses Blood Sacrifice, which reduces her health.

If Blood Sacrifice is utilised after Nitara spits blood on her prey, she can heal. Annoyingly, it only works when she's right beside her enemy, where she's vulnerable.

With her bat wings, it's no surprise Nitrara has a stack of aerial attacks. However, her stronger kombos involve repeatedly switching from air to ground to air again, which is needlessly complicated.

Basically, Nitara sucks (and not just because she's a vampire).
