Mortal Kombat 11 - Kombat League: The Season of Lawlessness

 


The Season Of Lawlessness Has Begun!


Hello again everyone. 

I'm sure you're all aware that Kombat League Season 16 - The Season of Lawlessness started yesterday. It runs from Tuesday 24th November through till Tuesday 22nd of December, which is just a few days before Christmas so these new skins have come in perfect time. A real Christmas present from the makers of Mortal Kombat. 

This is also the last season before they start repeating previous Kombat League seasons from December 29th. 

This season gives players of Mortal Kombat 11 on Xbox, PlayStation or PC to earn exclusive rewards and gear pieces for characters in the game, as well as that they get the chance to compete for some new skins for: Sindel, Sub Zero, Cassie and Johnny Cage. 

These are skins up for grabs this season:



Sub Zero


Sindel


Cassie Cage


Johnny Cage


As you can see they all look amazing. I love the attention to detail on the metal arms as it just make the skin all that more different and unique. 

It makes a nice addition to the collection of skins we already have, and a first for Sindel. Apart from Shao Khan, she is the first DLC character to have a skin available to compete for in Kombat League. 

I would like to see Kombat League skins for characters like Shang Tsung and Nightwolf, it seems now the chances of that being a possibility are less likely but never say never. 

The fact that we even have a Sindel skin available is very exciting to a lot of fans. 

Before I show you the board for this season, let's take a quick look at the Kombat Kard backgrounds and icons.

KOMBAT KARD BACKGROUNDS & ICONS





And now I suppose you want to know how you can go about getting these skins. 

You have to compete in a series of online ranked matches versus other players to earn kombat points, the more kombat points you earn the higher you'll climb up the ladder. 

But be aware that the higher up the ladder you climb, the harder the game gets so that's just something to bare in mind. 


THE LADDER AND SKIN REWARDS




Sub Zero's skin can be earned by completing a series of challenges on the right hand side of the kombat league menu, there are five challenges in total, but for every challenge you complete you earn other rewards like brutalities or gear pieces. You get the skin once you've ticked off all the challenges. 

Sindel's skin is Apprentice rank and above meaning you only have to play one match and regardless of the result you'll earn the skin at the end of the season. 

Cassie's skin is at Champion rank and above which means if you want her skin you have to finish the season at Champion rank or higher.

Johnny Cage's skin is at Demi God rank and above which means you'll have to work your way up to the top three ranks to stand a chance of earning his skin at the end of the season.

I'm interested in Sindel and Sub Zero, however I will strive to get the Cassie skin as it's within my reach. My goal for this season will be Grand Master, but i'll happy if I reach above Champion. 

Another season where I don't have to go all the way to Demi God which is always a good thing for me, less stressful and makes Kombat League a more laid back and fun experience for me. 

Just one set match win or lose to get the Sindel skin, I and am sure a lot of other players are very happy with this news.

If you're interested to know about how many kombat points you will need to earn certain ranks

Apprentice: 0 - 500 points

Kombatant: 500 -1000 points

Warrior: 1000 - 1500 points

Champion: 1500 - 2000 points

Master: 2000 - 2500 points

Grand Master: 2500 - 3500 points

Demi God: 3500 - 4500 points

God: 4500 - 5500

Elder God: 5500 points and above

I wish everybody the best of luck this season and hope you earn the ranks you're aiming for. 

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful winter!
