MultiVersus 1.01 Patch Notes - Character Buffs & Nerfs

Reindog can provide support and protection. Moreover, this character has some great moves that can disrupt enemy attacks trying to interfere with his teammate's combos. However, to achieve more balanced gameplay, the developers needed to add some nerfs to the character.

Aerial Side/Up Attack

• Knockback Angle ⇒ more horizontal

Stripe is an Assassin in MultiVersus with great abilities. Even though he lacks options for recovery, he excels in unleashing fast combos that can deal massive damage. The character needed some buffs to his Aerial Down Attack and the developers delivered accordingly!

Aerial Down Attack

• Downward momentum on attack start-up ⇒ increased

Taz is a Bruiser who prides himself on being one of the easier characters to pick up in MultiVersus. Although most of his kit is fairly balanced, the developers saw that Taz was just slightly lacking when it came to his Aerial/Ground Side special, which is why they have decided to slightly buff it in this patch.

Aerial/Ground Side Special

• Damage: 7 ⇒ 8

Although Iron Giant is not the fastest character, he is extremely powerful and has a lot of potential in the right hands. He was recently pulled back into maintenance by the developers, but he will be back stronger than ever!

Ground Down Attack

Knockback angle ⇒ more horizontal

Aerial Neutral Attack 

Final hit ⇒ always knocks away regardless of charge 

Ground Side Attack 

Jab hitbox ⇒ slightly smaller 

Rage Mode Pilot Special 

Reduced strobing visual effects

Rage Mode Up Special 

Final hit damage 6 ⇒ 5

Banana Guard is a Bruiser who focuses on utilizing his simple moveset to buff himself and score knockouts. The aim of the changes that he received in MultiVersus Patch 1.01 is to reduce the extreme kill power on his specials, so the character can be equal to the rest.

Aerial Side Special

• Damage: 12 ⇒ 10

Ground Side Special

• Damage: 14 ⇒ 12

Gizmo is a great character for support. He specializes in area denial and he can create large popcorn clouds. However, his Down Special was a little bit too powerful and it needed a little change.

Up Special

• Ally attach cooldown ⇒ begins when Gizmo detaches from his ally

LeBron James is a decent MultiVersus character with good damage and combos. His basketball used to be able to hit multiple times per target. However, the developers lowered the amount to only a single hit per target.

Basketball

• Hits per target ⇒ 1

Wonder Woman is an extremely balanced character with amazing long-range abilities and good close-range sword combo setups. Her whip is as good as it is in the movie! It can travel almost half the arena, and it can pull in opponents to increase the damage of the combos. However, her lasso was a little bit too powerful, so a short cooldown was added to the ability.

Aerial/Ground Neutral Special

• Lasso Cooldown Time ⇒ 8 seconds added

Arya Stark is an Assassin in MultiVersus and she's always a great choice. However, you have to be careful because even though Assassins deal a lot of damage, they are very fragile. Arya's follow-up attacks were a little bit too quick and powerful, but thankfully, they are now more balanced.

Dash Attack

• Input Buffer Window for Follow-Up Attacks ⇒ reduced

In MultiVersus, Bugs Bunny relies heavily on his famous traps, and the result is often a hilarious knockdown! You can dig a hole and quickly teleport behind your enemy, or you can launch a rocket projectile to push them off the stage. However, Bugs Bunny had a serious bug that was causing the Safe to hit repeatedly.

Neutral Special

• Safe Bug ⇒ fixed

Garnet is not the easiest character to master but she's definitely a great choice. In theory, she's a Bruiser who excels in horizontal damage but she is actually much more of a Tank-type character. She has an issue where she and an enemy could be frozen at the end of her Star Grab and it's now fixed.

Down Special

• Star Grab Bug ⇒ fixed

Jake the Dog is a strong character who only becomes more and more powerful as you learn how to control him. His combos are very straightforward, and he can deal a significant amount of damage. He only had a small bug fixed in the new Patch 1.01 that makes his Aerial and Ground Up Specials smoother.

Aerial/Ground Up Special 

• Game Performance Bug ⇒ fixed

Jason's biggest advantage is his ability to deal and absorb an insane amount of damage. He might be one of the slowest characters in the game but he's definitely one of the best fighters. He had a small issue with his Ground Down Special that needed to be fixed - one player would disappear when Jason grabbed two players with the sleeping bag.

Ground Down Special

• Bug ⇒ fixed

Marvin is amazing when it comes to warding off airborne enemies and his projectile is enough to send a damaged opponent out of the arena. However, there was a problem where Marvin could ring-out opponents instantly due to a Side Special projectile interaction with Neutral Attack.

Aerial/Ground Neutral Attack

• Bug ⇒ fixed

Although Steven Universe has great combos and a decent shield, he lacks a lot when he is not part of a team. He performs well in a duo but his 1v1 is weak. He received some changes in the new Patch but not necessarily the biggest improvements.

Aerial Up Attack

• Sweer spot hitbox ⇒ delayed by 1 frame

Aerial Down Attack

• On-Hit Cancel Window ⇒ delayed by 3 frames

Shaggy is great when it comes to getting close and personal with opponents. However, most of his attacks are basic melee strikes. Fortunately, he is getting awesome buffs and a few nerfs in the new MultiVersus Patch 1.01.

Aerial Neutral Air

• Base Knockback: 1300 ⇒ 1700
• Knockback Scaling: 13 ⇒ 14
• Knockback Angle ⇒ more horizontal 
•  On-Hit Cancel Window ⇒ delayed by 10 frames
