Sonya Blade, general of Special Forces of the Earth, is another classic character in the Mortal Kombat series that returns in MK 11. The fighter has no “superpowers”, but uses all his military arsenal to decimate her opponents, as well as being very fast. You can customize your appearance, skills and equipment to make it even more lethal. See how to play with Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11.
1. Mortal Kombat 11 Sonya Blade: Combat Profile
Sonya takes advantage of its smaller and lighter physical size to be very nimble. Having that advantage in mind can set the tone of the fight and bring it to your advantage. The fighter also has a more short-range attack style. Her various blows always make the opponent have to “guess” from which direction the punch came (or kick).
If you are playing against Sonya, the tip is “do not blink” and always try to block correctly. That way, you do not open up for her to get close enough and engage a fast furious sequence of combos.
The general is a short-range fighter (as said before), so her main weakness is long-range attacks and the constant (and dangerous) need to be close to his opponent to deliver her best hits. A wrong move can open the guard for a counterattack.
She can not count too much on brute force either. So to play with this character you need to be very aggressive and not give the opponent time to breathe, let alone think about what to do. From this profile, perhaps Sonya is one of the most complex fighters (of the classics) to control by novices. Fighting evading characters such as Noob Saibot can be a big challenge.
