Whether you want to spruce up your online profile to showcase your dedication to your opponent or wish to make your main look a specific way, you must level them up via the game's many modes to earn some of the best rewards you can get your hands on outside of the plethora of shops present within Mortal Kombat 1.
How To Increase Your Character's Level In Mortal Kombat 1
Every playable character in Mortal Kombat 1 has a progression system that comes in the form of a Mastery Rank, enabling you to earn various things for them when progressing through it. Each Master Rank is capped atRank 35 for playable characters and Rank 15 for Kameo's.
To accumulate EXP to progress through your Master Ranks, you must use the character you want to level up in the Invasion Mode or Online Matchmaking. While winning matches in the Kombat League will net you the most experience, it can be a bit inconsistent as you will be matching against other players.
Getting a Flawless Victory in both modes will also grant you a tremendous amount of EXP, but that is much easier said than done. Nonetheless, your only two options for reaching max Mastery for a character will be via these two avenues, and we recommend using both to their fullest to achieve Master Rank 35.
How To Level Up Fast In Mortal Kombat 1
While it will take lots of time and effort to reach Master Rank 35 with a character in Mortal Kombat 1, there are some ways you can make the process a bit faster if you don't mind grinding the Invasions mode.
Relics are a crucial aspect of the Invasion Mode, granting you valuable bonuses in and outside combat. For example, the 'Not Junk' Relic will provide you a 15 percent increase to EXP gained upon winning encounters or completing mini-games such as Test Your Might.
In addition to this, earning a Flawless Victory in an encounter will further improve your EXP gains, making it one of the best ways to accumulate Master Rank EXP in Mortal Kombat 1. However, participating in Online Matchmaking still seems to be the best way to earn large sums of Master Rank EXP quickly and efficiently.
Performing Finishers (Fatalities and Brutalities) will also reward you with more EXP at the end of an encounter, so be sure always to attempt to land one to close out a match to avoid leaving a decent chunk of EXP on the table!
Master Rank Rewards In Mortal Kombat 1
As mentioned above, Mortal Kombat 1 has Master Ranks for both the main playable characters and Kameos. Each Master Rank contains a reward ranging from a new Fatality to a Kombat Kard to a new Palette for the character you've achieved the Rank with.
While each character has their own unique Master Rank rewards, the pattern of the types of rewards you receive is the same across the board.For example, if Smoke gets a new Brutality at Master Rank 3, you can expect all the other characters to also have a new Brutality at Master Rank 3 as well.
Due to this, the tables below will showcase what you can expect from each Master Rank for the entire roster in Mortal Kombat 1 for both the main playable characters and the Kameos!
You can also get some of the Master Rank Rewards from the Shrine before or after obtaining them by reaching the proper Master Rank. If this occurs, you will be rewarded with Koins and/or Seasonal Kredits as compensation for receiving a Duplicate Item!
