How to unlock the Sadira Apprentice achievement

    Fight challenges are tracked in the fight challenges menu. I do not recommend grinding for fight challenges until you have completed all the other achievements. You will most likely earn this achievement on the way.

    There are 22 different things that are tracked for Fight Challenges. They are leveled 0-10. They are as follows:

    Ranked Matches
    Counter Breakers
    Survival Matches
    Versus Matches
    Exhibition Matches
    Supreme Victory
    Aerial Attacks
    Special Move 1
    Special Move 2
    Special Move 3
    Auto Double Hits
    Manual Hits
    Combo Hits
    Combo Breakers
    Combo Enders
    Throws
    Overhead Attacks
    Juggle Hits
    Blocks
    Shadow Moves
    Instinct Activations
    Ultras

    When grinding for fight challenges I recommend doing classic survival mode. You can do vs matches but it requires more inputs to retry each match, survival automatically moves on to the next match.

    When in a match the best combo I found was starting with a jump in attack. I would then push a button and immedietly counter break. I would then mash out an auto combo. If I had shadow meter I would use it in the combo, and the I would do an ender to end the combo.

    What this would do for the fight challenges is: the jumping attack would count as an Aerial attack and an Overhead. The next hit would count as a Manual and if the Counter Break was successful it would count as one of those. Each hit after that would count as an Auto Double, if using a Shadow move it would count, and then the Ender would count as well. The entire combo would count for Combo Hits.

    Once the opponent was low enough I would end in an Ultra, and make sure you let the entire Ultra Combo go because each hit of the ultra counts.

    This would then add one to Supreme Victory, Survival match, and Ultra use.

    For Sadira specifically I would use a Heavy kick as my jump in and a Heavy kick for a follow up. I would use her Blade Demon Ender to launch the opponent in the air. I would jump up and do her Light Punch, Medium Punch to air Widow's Bite because any hits in the air count as Aerial Attacks and Juggles.

    This is not a specific guide but more so a checklist along with some tips for tackling this game as a whole. There are other excellent, very detailed guides for unlocking each specific achievement.

    Background
    When I decided to start Killer Instinct from scratch in early 2021 (began 3/26/21 and finished 6/21/21), I decided that I needed a way to guide and track my progress to completion in the most efficient way possible. With a base game of 94 achievements and 28 DLCs which is composed of 23 characters, a ranked MP DLC (League Title Update), a story mode (similar to MK's ladder system), an RPG type mode (Shadow Lords 1 & 2), and Shadow Mode (machine learning type bot simulator) that made up another 370 achievements, this game was going to take some time and coordination.

    Info
    I created a spreadsheet by exporting all of the Achievement Titles, Achievement Descriptions, and Gamerscore from TA. I added the following columns:

    • Order: to keep the initial achievement order
    • BASE/DLC: determines if the achievement was part of the base game or one of the DLCs
    • Release Date: for sorting purposes
    • Type: I created 23 "Types" of achievements in this game, most are repetitive across characters (i.e. win versus match with [insert character])
    • Character: let's you know which character the achievement applies to. There are 29 characters in total. Some achievements are assigned to "Any" meaning those do not apply to a specific character. Omen does not follow the normal DLC achievement path rather it has 5 random achievements tied to it.
    • Unlocked: put an "x" in the cell if you have unlocked it. This ties in with the Pivot tab where you refresh the pivot tables to show your percentage complete.
    If you decide to use the spreadsheet, start by deleting all of the x's in the Unlocked column on KI TA tab (not to be confused with the KI TA sortable tab which is used for sorting to your hearts desire without messing with your main tab). Once you start filling in "x" 's in the KI TA tab, you can refresh the Pivot tab to see your progress based on Type and/or Character.

    I hope this spreadsheet helps for anyone starting this beast of game that is quite fun. It was more time consuming than challenging but overall I really enjoyed it.

    Tips:
    • Complete the Shadow Mode achievements first as these have broken in the past and were unobtainable for a while before they patched it.
    • Find a hardcore, dedicated group to boost ranked achievements. Playing this game legit online will take a while and will be pretty tough!
    • Try to have fun with Shadow Lords Mode, once I understood how it worked (which just took playing it a while) it was a lot of fun!
    • Keep a second controller handy for some of the Fight Challenges. For example, blocks can be done easily by rubber banding your main controller to block while you perform a move with the second controller.
    • If you haven't already, read through the Walkthrough. It was well done up to the point before the writer quit updating it. For the rest, read through the guides and of course, the comments on the guides for good info.
    Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions to make the spreadsheet better.
