Reptile is an iconic fighter in the Mortal Kombat series, appearing as a secret character in the original 1992 version. In the new part of the franchise, he can change shape, making him even more interesting and intriguing. In this guide, you will learn all about the combos and tips of Reptile in Mortal Kombat 1.

Although Reptile doesn't grab all the headlines like other characters, such as Kung Lao, Scorpion, or Sub-Zero, he definitely deserves attention. We've compiled all the best combos for Reptile to help you dominate your opponents. To make this guide useful for users of all platforms, we have created a universal button index, which you can find in the image above. This will help you understand the order in which you need to press the keys to perform a particular combination. So let's take a look at the combinations:
| Combos | Description |
| F2 + 3 + F3 + 1 + 1 | You perform 1 punch and 1 kick, after which the opponent flies up and when they land, you continue to hit them, ending the combo with a reptilian transformation. |
| F2 + 3 + F3 + DF3 + J + 1 + 2 +DB4 | You punch and knee again, followed by a kick, and transform into a lizard that releases a poisonous Force Ball. Continue the attack in the air and teleport and transform into a reptile for the final hit. |
| F2 + 3 + F3 + 1 + DF3 + J + 2 + 3 + 3 | You hit them in the face with your hand and then your knee, followed by several punches and a reptilian transformation that releases the Force Ball. Continue hitting the opponent in the air and finish the attack with your tail. |
| F2 + 3 + F3 + 1 + DF3 + BF4 | You perform a knee strike, kick your opponent on the landing, throw the Force Ball at them and catch them in your mouth, transforming into a reptile. |

As you may have noticed, Reptile's main combos are mostly in the air, so you need to focus on that. You should also train one of the main character's abilities, invisibility, which, along with other techniques, can guarantee you a good outcome in battle. Learn the Reptile's Awakening attacks, such as in BF2 and BF4, as they are the main component of most combos. We recommend that you learn the skills and combos on the training ground against the bot so that you can go into battle against online opponents with the attacks you have already learned.
