EDITOR'S NOTE
Great to see another NPC following on from Sindel. It's a major step toward making Invasion Bosses the event-based attractions they should be. The only thing missing is a more disciplined use of the realms. The same fans who'll respond to battling special NPC opponents will also be frustrated by haphazard in-fiction references (eg; Seido). NetherRealm really need to figure out if they're hot or cold on their once expansive universe - preferably hot - and get back to making the most of it. Being half-in and half-out has, at times, made the reboot era unsatisfying. Tanya's naginata makes us wish for a patch that maps a Hotaru skin to an Invasion Boss assets remix.
