Mortal Kombat 11: 10 Worst Fighters You Must AVOID

Jade's return to Mortal Kombat was a highly-anticipated one. With a fresh redesign she certainly looks the part, and a bigger role in the story mode means this was a successful comeback, albeit not without some hiccups.

Despite being killed, Jade returned in Mortal Kombat 11 as a revenant and her outfit is the best she's ever had. She also plays a significant role in the story this time around, as we learned that she has been Kotal Kahn's lover for some time.

However it's in the arenas where Jade's star begins to dim. If you get an experienced player, they can make Jade look like a badass who is fun as all hell to play with. Give the controller to a more casual player and it's a different story.

Jade has poor mix-ups, difficulty racking-up combos, big cooldown on her best moves, and her shuriken ranged attacks are literally just Batarangs lifted from Injustice. While it's cool to see Jade make a comeback and she's a solid choice for hardcore fans, to the casual it will feel like all the inspiration went into designing her outfit and not her moveset.
