Can you mercy a CPU in MK11?

Answered by Willian Lymon

You can perform a Mercy on a CPU opponent in Mortal Kombat 11. A Mercy is a special move that allows you to revive your opponent with a small amount of health, giving them a chance to continue the fight. It’s a way to show sportsmanship and give your opponent another opportunity to turn the tide of the match.

To perform a Mercy on a CPU opponent, you need to follow a specific input command. After defeating your opponent in the final round, when the “Finish Him/Her” message appears on the screen, you have the option to perform a Mercy instead of a Fatality or Brutality. To do this, you need to stand at a specific distance from your opponent and input the Mercy command.

The Mercy command differs for each character, but it usually involves a combination of button inputs. For example, with Scorpion, the Mercy command is down, down, down, down, and then release the block button (R2 on PS4, RT on Xbox One). You need to input the command quickly and accurately to successfully perform a Mercy.

It’s worth noting that you can perform a Mercy on a CPU opponent in any mode, whether it’s in the Towers of Time, Klassic Towers, or even in the Krypt. However, keep in mind that performing a Mercy on a CPU opponent in the Krypt will not count towards the “Not Dead Yet” Trophy/Achievement progress. To earn the Trophy/Achievement, you need to perform a Mercy on a human opponent in online matches or against the CPU in offline modes.

Performing a Mercy can be a fun and challenging aspect of Mortal Kombat 11 gameplay. It adds an extra layer of strategy and sportsmanship to the fights, allowing you to show respect to your opponent and give them another chance to prove themselves. So, whether you’re playing against real people or the CPU, don’t forget to show mercy and enjoy the intense battles in Mortal Kombat 11.
