This special move is best used to end combos to make combo string safe with Hell Blast if you have meter to burn. The enhanced version (Hell Blast) offers the same options but executes a little faster and inflicts more damage.
If it's blocked Shinnok is not only safe, but has advantage to continue offensive pressure. After any of the fireballs you can press Block to burn one meter and launch the opponent into the air for a combo if it hits. If these are blocked a smart opponent can punish Shinnok. They cover the area directly in front of Shinnok and extend to nearly full screen. The Hell Sparks consist of three fireballs that shoot upward from the ground in rapid succession. Hell Sparks Notation: Down, Back+2 Enhanced: Yes, but no armor. Both versions are not safe if the opponent blocks, but this is Shinnok's only option for an armored attack after getting knocked to the ground. The enhanced version (Krushing Shoulder) inflicts more damage, has armor and you can combo after it if the opponent is cornered. Shinnok's Charging Shoulder stops just short of covering the entire length of the screen and works well for punishing attacks from that distance that would otherwise be safe. Notation Key PlayStation/Xbox 1 - Square/X 2 - Triangle/Y 3 - X/A 4 - Circle/B Charging Shoulder Notation: Back, Forward+3 Enhanced: Yes, with armor. In the Impostor variant he can steal an opponent's special move and gains an aerial teleport, but most consider this to be his weakest variation. The Bone Shaper variation gives him an overhead/low mix-up and a lot of range, while the Necromancer variant offers a few decent zoning options.
Most of his combos require meter to get decent damage, and he also needs meter to stay safe after many of his combos. Shinnok is a character that relies more on his super meter than almost any other character in Mortal Kombat X.
