Expert Marksmanship:

[7:41 to 8:33]

Expert Actor:

-Deceived Shang Tsung and Quan Chi into thinking she was uninterested in ruling Outworld and had helped Shao depose Sindel

Personality:

-Unlike her previous counterparts, this version of Mileena is a patient, mature, and noble woman who hopes to prove a worthy successor to her mother

-Approaches matters in an honest and just manner, and welcomes even the outcasts of society into her kingdom

-Due to the divided public perception about who should be next in line to rule, she was initially insecure about her worthiness to the throne and would risk her life to prove herself

-After ascending to the throne, she eventually overcame her insecurities and began ruling Outworld with a firm, yet compassionate fist

-Hates keeping secrets from others, whether it involves her affliction or her relationship with Tanya (which her people would consider sacrilege for violating the Umgadi’s vow of chastity)

-Due to suffering from the mind-ravaging effects of the Tarkat disease, Mileena will occasionally suffer bouts of uncontrollable rage and bloodlust

    -During these bouts, she has little self-control, maiming opponents indiscriminately and giving in to the disease’s cannibalistic urges

-Despite initially struggling to suppress her Tarkat symptoms, she gains control over them as the game goes on, going from mindlesslyattacking others to targetingspecific threats and keeping a clear head

Fatal Blow:

[5:23 to 5:30]
Serving Tarkat:
-Mileena charges in, leaps into the air, and pins her foe to the ground by stabbing them through the wrists. She then takes four bites out of their chest before ripping out their throat and getting off of them

Fatalities:

[12:19 to 12:45]

Appetizer:
-Mileena uses one of her sai to stab the opponent in the side of the head and forces them to turn around. She then stabs them in the shoulders, forcing them to kneel.

A Little to the Left:
-Mileena slices the opponent's stomach open, causing them to hunch over, then impales the sides of their head with her sai.

Maybe Next Time:
-Mileena performs a swift combo consisting of Bitter Slice, the Right Sais, and a Ballerinal Failure that decapitates the opponent. As their headless corpse showers her in blood and collapses, Mileena removes her mask and eats their face

The Best Part:
-Mileena performs an enhanced Teleport Down, but instead of throwing the opponent forward, she ends the combo by stabbing them through the skull

Early Lunch:
-Mileena performs an enhanced Roll and stabs her opponent through the feet. She then removes her mask, wraps her tongue around their neck, and pulls them in. After a few seconds of gnawing on their face, she reels back, revealing the opponent’s been reduced to a skull
