Mortal Kombat 11 Friendships: Inputs for All 37 Fighters
Mortal Kombat 11 Friendships: Inputs for All 37 Fighters
Perform all 37 Friendships in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate with inputs for PS4, PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, plus range and Kompetitive Match requirements.
Friendships are humorous finishing moves that let Mortal Kombat 11 fighters end a match without performing a Fatality. Every playable character in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate has one Friendship, including all fighters from Kombat Pack 1, Aftermath and Kombat Pack 2.
Below you will find the Friendship names and inputs for all 37 playable fighters, with controls for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. Every Friendship must be performed from Mid range.
How to perform Friendships in Mortal Kombat 11
Win the final round and wait for FINISH HIM! or FINISH HER! to appear. Stand at Mid range, approximately one jump away, and enter your fighter's Friendship input before the finishing window expires.
Friendships are already available in the Move List and do not need to be unlocked.
Friendships were introduced through the free update released alongside Aftermath on May 26, 2020. You do not need to purchase the Aftermath expansion, although you must own a DLC fighter to use that fighter and perform their Friendship.
If you have an Easy Fatality Token, you can perform a Friendship from Mid range by holding Block and pressing Front Punch (1): R2 + Square on PlayStation, RT + X on Xbox or ZR + Y on Nintendo Switch. This simplified command consumes one token; the complete character-specific inputs listed below do not consume anything.
Required range: Mid range for every fighter.
Standard modes: There is no additional gameplay requirement.
Kompetitive Matches: You must win the final round without using Block.
DLC fighters: The Friendship mechanic was added through a free update, but you must own a DLC fighter to perform that character's Friendship.
Forward always means toward your opponent and Back means away from them, regardless of which side of the screen your fighter is standing on. The inputs below assume the default control layout.

Why your Friendship is not working
If the Friendship does not activate, check the following:
You are at the wrong distance: every Friendship must be entered from Mid range, approximately one jump away.
You blocked during the final round of a Kompetitive Match: this additional restriction applies only in Kompetitive Matches.
You entered the input at the wrong time: wait until FINISH HIM! or FINISH HER! appears and complete the sequence before the finishing window closes.
You reversed Forward and Back: Forward always means toward the opponent and Back means away from them.
Your controls are remapped: follow the assigned attack functions or universal 1/2/3/4 notation instead of the default button labels.
You tried to use the Easy Friendship command without a token: Block + Front Punch consumes an Easy Fatality Token; the full character-specific input does not.
The required content is unavailable: install the free Friendship update and make sure you own the fighter when using a DLC character.
Mortal Kombat 11 Friendship FAQ
Do Friendships need to be unlocked?
No. Friendships are available automatically and do not need to be earned in the Krypt, Towers of Time or any other mode.
Do you need Aftermath to perform Friendships?
No. Friendships were added through a free update for all MK11 owners. You only need to own a DLC fighter if you want to perform that fighter's Friendship.
Can Easy Fatality Tokens perform a Friendship?
Yes. From Mid range, hold Block and press Front Punch (1). This simplified command consumes one Easy Fatality Token; the complete character-specific input is free.
Does every Friendship use Mid range?
Yes. Every Friendship in MK11 Ultimate must be entered from Mid range, approximately one jump away.
Can you perform a Friendship after a Mercy?
Yes. Mercy resumes the fight. Defeat the opponent again, wait for the new finishing prompt and perform the Friendship while meeting its normal requirements.
