Since a majority of your games are most likely running on auto, obtaining the best beginner characters is more about finding the right team synergy.

This is where you can get the best starting character, and here are some of the best ones, in no particular order:

  • Shadowmancer Noob Saibot
  • Undying Shao Khan
  • Sindel
  • Deadeye Erron Black
  • Arcticka Sub-Zero

Each character in Mortal Kombat Onslaught falls into one of six classes: Assassin, Warriors, Attacker, Sniper, Defender, and Support. Paying attention to these classes is paramount to building the best team on this side of the Outworld.

A character like Shadowmancer Noob Saibot is one of the best characters you can obtain from the free 5-star pull, thanks to his support-oriented class. Likewise, characters in the defender class, like Undying Shao Khan, can help mitigate damage by having enemies focus on him.

That being said, since the game relies heavily on pulling new characters, obtaining the best characters for beginners in MK Onslaught is… well, just the beginning. You need to consult the Elder Gods in order to build the best team to face off against Shinnok.
