First Published August 23, 2023, 15:42

Debuting in 1993's Mortal Kombat II, Kitana is one the more reliable fighters in the series for players who wanna fight close and at a distance. With her steel knife fans and the incredible skills she's learned in the Edenia realm, she's as a formidable fighter in the tournament as anyone else.

Kitana's fight style in the latest Mortal Kombat takes advantage of her bladed fans and flexibility, dealing devastating blows before slicing opponents up. Below you'll find all of Kitana's basic attacks, special attacks, and finishers from Mortal Kombat 1.

Full Move List for Kitana in Mortal Kombat 1

While Kitana is thousands of years old in the last incarnation of the universe, she was still considered young and had a strong fighting spirit. She's much more known for her blades and calm demeanor which makes her an ace at diplomacy for her people. Kitana has also founded a few different female-only fighting groups in the franchise.

Whether you're going for the throat or prefer to use her fans to keep your distance, Kitana can do considerable damage if you can remember the best attacks for each situation. With Mortal Kombat 1 releasing on Sept. 19, Kitana's moves are likely pretty much complete, although anything is subject to change before full release.

In the following combos, "forward" refers to moving toward your opponent while "away" is in the opposite direction. Look under the "Kontrol" section for specific inputs on punches, kicks, throws, and blocks on your specific console or controller.
