The War Banner is a weapon used by Baraka, first appearing in Mortal Kombat 11 as his weapon style, opposite his Tarkatan Blades. While the Banner itself can be placed on the fightline during gameplay, equipping specific Equip Abilities allow Baraka to utilize the Banner as a weapon during gameplay. Baraka also uses it during his Fatal Blow and plants it into his opponent at the end of the attack.
The War Banner is also featured in his Battle Cry Intro and his Baraka's Triumph Outro. It can also change its appearance through the game's Kustomization, ranging from different flags with different symbols and different flag poles with either symbols or charms on them or the pole being a spear. The color of the War Banner changes based on what color Baraka's current outfit is.
Trivia[]
- While the Banner features the symbol for Tarkata, it can also possess the Mortal Kombat logo by changing the Banner in the Kustomization.
- With the release of the Joker, Baraka was given a War Banner with his Killer Croc Outfit and cosmetics. The Tarkatan symbol is replaced with Batman's logo and also his bloodied cowl rests at the top of the Banner's pole. Alongside that, the flagpole itself appears to be made from Arkham Asylum's front gate.
