MK11 - Shang Tsung New Warlock Optimals (Post August 2019 Patch)


A lot of the Shang combo routes have changed since the Ground Eruption nerf. The old any Krushing Blow into S4 DB1 Amp dash DB1 (Far) does nothing on the damage it used to, neither does the old 1 bar non-KB bnbs. So here are all the new replacements. Note that the corner combos haven't really changed since DB1 wasn't and still isn't used in them.
