Mortal Kombat X Guide: How to Play Jacqui Briggs

High Tech

Jacqui Briggs’ first variation, High Tech, has her relying on her… well, high tech. With this variation, she get’s a plasma blast that can be quickly fired or charged for more damage. On top of that, she can use the Guantlet Spark ability to significantly increase the damage of her punch attacks. This variation is best used up close and personal so that players can take full advantage of the buff she receives. If you’re worried about getting too close to powerful opponents, Jacqui Briggs has a handy shield ability that will keep you out of harm’s way (provided you got the proper timing).

Jacqui Briggs’ X-Ray attack is absolutely perfect during juggling combos. Beginning with an uppercut, this attacks runs opponents through the gamut of just how many punches Jacqui can throw. The fact that this is one of the few X-Rays that uses solely brute force, really makes watching all the more painful.
