How to unlock the Master achievement in Mortal Kombat X - Definitive Guide

Mortal Kombat X is the first Mortal Kombat game in the series to introduce character variations.
That means now every single character has three different variations.
They all share their basic attacks and combos, as well as some special moves, but they all have some unique special moves, as well as variation specific brutalities.

For example:
Scorpion can now be played in either "Inferno" (Summon a deonic helper) "Ninjutsu" (Use two swords) or "Hellfire" (Adds fireballs and flame aura).

For this achievement you need to Win a full match wich each of the character variations.
Which means 24 characters x 3 variations each = 72 matches.

(Shinnok has to be unlocked by playing the campaing, first and Goro is not needed as he is Dlc)

I would advise you to combine this with the:

  • "Play with every Character Variation"
  • "Perform a Fatality with every Character"
  • "Use the X-Ray" of every Character"
achievements !

The quickest way i found for now, is:
  1. Go to "Options" - "Gameplay" and set the rounds to 1, so you only have to win 1 instead of 2 rounds wich basicy saves you half the time.
  2. Go to "Singleplayer" - "Single Fight" and start with the character you want to begin.
  3. Win 3 matches with the character (one with every variation) and durign those, use the X-Ray of the character, perform one fatality with the character and if you want to perform one of the Brutalities of the character. (* See note)
  4. Rinse and repeat for every character. (Goro is not needed).
* This will help you towards the "Perform 50 Brutalities" achievement and will give you the achievement for performing 1 Brutality.

Try logging out completely and back in then try (shut your xbox down completely also to reset) I had a couple that did not pop that should have the first day and the next day when I did the same thing (like killing a beast in the krypt) they popped. Hope you get it!

Strange that a lot of people seem to have problems with variations not counting.
There was a 2-3gb patch today though, so maybe that fixed it ?

I was stuck at 98% as well. Said forget it and moved on to the only a real master with 2 controllers. They both unlocked at the same time after I won. Glitchy for sure.

My tracker for variations and fatalities goes away when I click change character. I have to go to main menu and start the match again for it to count correctly.

Goes away? What do you mean by that? I just selected change character and used a different variation for all of them (all of the left ones and a few hours later all of the right ones) and it worked without a problem?

Bawls I missed 2 somewhere along the way for as many stats as they track a character variant stat would've solved so many issues.

Does anyone know what characters are used in story mode so I don't have to do them all over again? I'm pretty sure every character in story mode uses all 3 variations as well. This means you only need the 2nd half of the variations but I can't remember who's all in the story mode.

I’ve done it while going for 50 living towers. You can win one match with first variation. In the second match go to Player Select, select second variation and go on like this. Eventually, you would make a good progress overall. Also you can have quick look on story mode on youtube with fastforwarding. Most of the fighters in story mode uses only one variation.

Stuck at 98%
I just went through every character left to right. I did all variations before moving on to the next. I did two controller on kustom combat with Danger Mod. There’s definitely something off with this achievement.

When boosting this achievement there is a glitch where after a while the game forgets your profile and starts you at 0% complete again.

I tried many things to fix this but what worked for me was to quit to main menu, go to two player Kustom Kombat with the second controller profile and then when it comes to the select character screen use your profile controller press A and select character from there.
You should no longer have any problems with the game forgetting your profile in kustom kombat

I ended up going back and doing them all over again w/ a 2nd controller. My 98% unlocked with the the 3rd Liu Kang w/ the tattoo face. I swear I used that goofy looking variant of him a couple times before in single player. In any event that's what unlocked it for me.

I am also stuck at 98%. I took a screenshot of a solution posted by Maka91 that listed every character, posted it in Paint and printed it off and kept a tally as I went along. I came here thinking this might require DLC characters if they're installed but I see that I'm not the only one who encountered this. I don't understand why this hasn't been flagged as buggy.

I got this after going through and playing every variation a second time. I played as "LIU KANG " DUALIST" and got this achievement. Then, the next match I played as Scorpion and got the achievement for playing as every variant.

The solution to the 98% glitch club

Go to Kombat Kard (offline Kombat history)
Press Y to edit and select ICON

Scroll down till you come across 10 koin rewards. You will also notice symbols of weapons to the right.

These are in fact what the game has registered as your variant for each character.

You want to see 3 for each character.
You’ll notice the name of the reward will match that of the variant style.

Take Jax for example
You may have Wrestler I and II
And the third being pumped up I

This indicates that the fully loaded variant is missing and that the game has not registered you winning with that move style.

Get a pen and paper and make a list of completed characters that have the 3 rewards. (The names are located next to the reward so you don’t have to try and remember who’s Variant it is) Now we don’t need to worry about these..thus saving you time.

Write down the names of the ones who don’t have three and highlight the variant that is not listed for each character.

Go into kustom Kombat and use your 2nd controller. I used Danger modification to save time. Complete 3 or 4 fights with the characters rewards you need. Now return to Kombat Kard Icon menu and scroll down. You should hopefully see (*New along with an image you did not have before)

This may take a few tries. It took me 3 fights with Johnny Cage to register the Stunt double variant.

Once you have the 3 variants write the characters name on your completed list.

This allows you to focus on the characters that have failed to register and not have to waste time going through 24 characters.

The DLC characters do NOT count to the achievement.

Genuinely thank you so much for this. I sat down and did all the variations in one sitting, turns out only a few of them counted in the kombat kard section. Now I have to go through and do them all over again and for each one, it's taking 3-4 matches for the icon to unlock cry Good luck everyone

This achievement will unlock naturally as your work on your "Tower Warrior" achievement.

There are 24 characters in the game, and every one of them have 3 different variations. This means you need to play and win 72 matches, playing with one different variation all the time.

Note that you need to complete the story to unlock Shinnok who is required for this trophy, DLC characters are not required.

Playing with a second controller is recommended, selecting just one round to win and 30 seconds in the round time. You can change the settings in Options from the main menu and choosing Gameplay.

If you don’t have a second controller you can play against the AI on Very Easy difficulty or with a partner online.

Keep tracking all your character variations all the time to avoid skip one of them by mistake.

You can download the Full PDF Checklist Here.

You can combine this with other trophies such as Straight Power and Dark Future to save some time.

There are 24 characters in the game and each has 3 styles. In total, there are 72 matches to be won. You can do it with a second controller, it’s faster.

I did this - I went into a live tower for 10 fighters, I win with one style, then another battle starts immediately, I change another character in the pause and choose a different style. This way you can level up 3 characters in a tower very quickly. verified

I did this:
1. Bet 1 round/Easy.
2. Single player/Single battle.
3. Played with all characters, in each style and performed “X-ray” and “Fatality” per battle
As confirmation that you did everything correctly, after every 3rd style, at the end of the fight after the inscription “You won,” the “Badge” and “Background” (for the Kombat Card) of this character will be shown in the reward.
In the same way, you can check which characters you have already completed correctly:
Go to Additional Materials/Offline Battle History.
On the left of the screen there will be a Kombat-Cards section, press “Triangle”, look at “Background” and “Icon”.
And find the victory reward with the character's name, for example:
1. Flame: +25 00/victory (Scorpio) and so on for each character.

in the game settings you set one round, then go to “single player”, select “one on one” and in this mode you play each character in turn and with all three types of combat you defeat the enemy on the simple difficulty level... it took me about an hour. At the end get two trophies for fighting styles at once
