How Many Currencies Are In Mortal Kombat 1

There arefour different types of moneyyou can earn in Mortal Kombat 1:Koins, Seasonal Kredits, Dragon Krystals, and Krowns. You can get almost all of them by just playing the game (and even by losing battles!), but one is exclusive to one mode and another one is only purchasable with real-life money.

Koins

Koins are your basic income. You get this by fighting in the Ladder, playing against other players online, having battles and finding chests in Invasion Mode, and completing the tutorials and daily challenges.

For example, the starting quests give you250 Koins. Cleaning the basics tutorial (the first set) will give you1,250 Koins.

You use these in the Shrine, which will give youa random collectible for each 1,000 Koinsyou donate.

While you can receive skins, gear, and more in the Shrine, please note that it’s most likely thatyou will get many pieces of concept art in a rowas there are lots of them to unlock.
