Koming to lend you a hand
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermathis now available to purchase. This paid DLC expansion to NetherRealm Studios’ gory fighter includes five-chapter epilogue to the base game’s story, as well as three new characters: Wind god Fujin, guest star RoboCop, and the welcome return of the Shokan Queen, Sheeva.
Sheeva made herMortal Kombat debut back in 1995’sMortal Kombat 3,where she was the bodyguard of Shao Kahn’s bride, Sindel (more accurately, she was responsible for keeping Kitana from reaching her mother and informing her of the truth about their bloodline). InMortal Kombat 11, Sheeva returns with far more agency as a strong, proud and courageous ruler, sympathetic to EarthRealm’s plight and honourable to her allies old and new.
The multi-armed Shokan continues her heritage as the powerhouse of theMKuniverse. Kitted out with a wealth of devastating grabs and throws, Sheeva is a terrifying foe at close range. If that wasn’t enough, Sheeva also has an excellent projectile and an infuriating, unblockable full-screen stomp. All of these tools combine to make Her Highness one of the most dangerous characters on the roster, equipped to handle both close kombatandrepetitive zoners.

FINISHERS:
Fatality 1: Stomp The Yard:(Close) Down, Down, Down, 1
As if she needed more arms, Sheeva decides to take both of her opponents! And as they backwards, blood spurting, the monarch stakes to the air and comes down hard on her prey, dropping several double-foot stomps and turning them into mush. Yuck.
Fatality 2: Spinal Tap:(Close) Forward, Down, Down, Forward, 3
I think this is easily one ofMK 11’sgrimmest finishers. Using her might to swing her opponent upside down, Sheeva places one foot on her opponent’s head and slowly yanks their body upwards by the legs, separating their entire torso from their head and spinal column. Truly brutal.
Stage Fatality:Forward, Down, Back, 1Works on Dead Pool, RetroKade, and Shaolin Trap Dungeon stages only.
Friendship: Krystal Klear:(Mid) Forward, Back, Down, Down, 1
Approaching a table covered in fine goblets and glasses, Sheeva uses her long arms and fingers to entertain us with her “Glass Harp” skills. Wow, first she was plate-spinner, now she’s a musician. Sheeva is available for birthdays, holidays, and bar mitzvahs.
