Misc Info
Augment Gear Slots​
You can spend Kurrency to assign the below slot types to any piece of gear. Jinsei slots cannot be re-rolled.​

  • Soul : 10,000 Koins
  • Nether Flame: 250 Souls
  • Order Krystal: 250 Souls
  • Chaos Energy: 250 Souls
  • Dragon Blood: 50 Hearts
​
Elemental Damage Type​
Certain augments provide a modifier based on specific damage types so it may be important to know what damage types your character uses in order to work out the best build.​

  • Characters can have multiple damage types.
    • e.g. Shang Tsung's regular punch/kicks deal Physical dmg, Soul moves deal Chaos dmg and Fire moves deal Fire dmg.
  • You can view your move list during a fight within TOT to see what moves have what damage types.
​
Farming Augments:​

  • It appears you can get a lot of Jinsei augments from the TOT Gauntlet if you haven't completed it already...
  • Jinsei can randomly drop (low chance) or can be farmed in 6th character towers (using various kurrencies).
  • You can farm generic augments from Soul Kontainers in the Krypt.
  • 75k+ koins at the krypt shrine gives you two augments.

Mine are still old... but they've removed stacking!!!! :eek:

They're highlighted red now if stacked and it states they won't combine anymore. :(

I expected them to nerf augments but that really sucks. :(
Hopefully the new stuff can make up for it.

What sucks all the more is it's not even just for the exact same augment (ie. using 2 Perfected Preemptive Marches for Sindel), even if you use the 6% Major ones in combination with a 9% Perfected one for a different gear piece, it says they can't be used together. It's just one augment type irrespective of its damage variant per individual slot now.

This is going to mate the ToTs so much more of a chore again. I'd spent a year building up my AI squad with augments to farm me gear and Krystals whilst I watch a movie, now I'm probably going to actually have to play the ToTs again myself (yes i'm aware how stupid that sounds haha).

I am currently not able to get any augments for the 3 new characters. I spent hours in the Krypt getting augments and not a single one for any of the 3 new characters Fujin, Sheeva or Robocop. I don't know how to report it to them. I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account. Anyone else having this issue?

You may not have the augment update yet. I experienced the same thing prior to getting the update (which only occurred today).

There's some pretty powerful new augments in the pool, but they're a pain in the ass to farm.
Yes your old ones get converted to new ones, but then you just have 4000 useless level 1 augments that suck a big one and you have to start farming that shit all over again.

I had a Baraka that would kill team bosses in 2 combos and I doubt the new system will deliver that.

Btw. there's no more character specific augments, rather all characters share all of them.

Best way to get a couple new ones is opening soul containers in the Krypt, or giving 100000 bucks to the stupid temple but that takes forever so you better take the first approach.

Also augment levels seem to cap at level 4 and I have not received any jinsei runes yet.

LOL op as fuck.

I've done minimal farming (mostly soul containers in krypt) and with just basic augments my sheeva can kill a regular tower character in two combos...

Edit: I've only gotten two jinsei so far and both were from brutal towers.

I've only played with these for an hour or so, but I like the new approach, especially the general augments. They do seem pretty powerful though. I've got only level 1 augments in my current Baraka, and between having 250 more life, armor that regenerates, and something like a cumulative 15% or 20% universal damage buff, I'm rarely in danger of losing.

Yeah I wasn't a fan of these on first update, especially since my OP Baraka and Kotal were gone and all my augments were replaced with hundreds of generics. But I can kind of understand why they did it, since only about 5 characters had actually good augments. And gives a reason to spend some currencies and wander the krypt more.

This is a good opportunity for me to try out different characters I never played.

If you're looking for a Boss Killer set up...

'Pure and Simple' (blood augment) - removes all requirements from KB (removes FB though).
Stack that with some damage multipliers and you'll make mincemeat of them.

The new augments are amazing!

I've played for like, a couple of hours and I must have gained about 2,500 souls!!

It is much more easy to farm now. There are augments which switch currencies and give you amazing benefits. You can convert hearts to souls when winning a match, gain souls for every crushing blow, reset krushing blows per round … it is much, MUCH more easy to farm souls, which are the best way to farm augments in the Krypt.

I still do not have access to the stage 6 character towers, though. Despite the game switching augments for me.

I would agree that you can farm the basic ones pretty easily from the krypt, which gives you a pretty darn good start.

It's mostly the blood and jinsei augments that take awhile from brutal TOT (understandibly these provide the biggest buffs).

Stacking is no longer an issue because you now have sufficient variety where you don't need to.

I can kill a brutal tower boss in three moves with most characters now, you definitely couldn't do that before.

I have built a character who can perform Krushing Blows without requirements (FINALLY we can KB Baraka's throw on the CPU !!), combos do 50% more dmg on the first hit, KBs do 30% more damage, walking is 45% faster and has some Jinsei boosts to some of his special moves. Had to forfeit my FB though.

I am really curious to see how this character will fare on the ToT which are usually done with MP partners. Have to wait until the three Sheeva/Fujin/Robocop Towers take a hike, though.
