Mortal Kombat 1: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

17. Rain

Being an elemental, Rain relies on manipulating water to pulverise his adversaries. But this time around, the Edenian mage uses an enchanted staff to magnify his powers. Although this alteration sounds minor, it broadens Rain's reach immensely, gives him a variety of long-range attacks.

His hydro-skills are more diverse this time, since he can use water to summon shields, geysers, and vortexes. Although his Water Beam looks like a straightforward projectile, it can be delayed or cancelled, throwing off his attacker.

Since his water can be summoned anywhere, Rain has a talent for limiting his enemy's movements and attack patterns.

Because Rain is left vulnerable while performing these enchantments, it's best to fight from a safe distance.
