General and Perks
Bug – Fixed an issue that was causing jumps to be rejected by the server when attaching to a wall.
School Me Once… – Projectile block buff duration reduced to 1 second from 2 seconds
- Stacked duration reduced to 2 seconds from 4 seconds
- Block buff is no longer consumed by light projectile attacks
Ice To Beat You! – Stacks of Ice are now only applied by Heavy Projectiles
Character Updates
Arya
Signature Perk
Betrayal perk enrages allies/Arya but they will deal 3x weakened on hit down from 5x.
- We were finding that weakened influenced the gameplay of Arya and their opponents too greatly at higher level play.
Batman
Glide
Hurtbox z-axis issue was causing attacks to unintendedly miss Batman, while he glided.
Grounded Down Attack
Delayed branching into dodge and jump on hit to prevent endless chaining back into itself.
Aerial Down Special
Removed the ability for this move to combo back into itself in order to prevent endless chaining.
Signature Perk
Bouncerang Weakened stacks applied reduced to 3 from 5.
- The power level this gave for very little effort made this perk feel unfair to opponents of Batman so we reduced it a little.
Aerial Side Attack
Able to cancel into wall slide 5 frames earlier
Black Adam
General
Fixed issue where the electric tether hitbox would linger after the visuals faded.
Grounded Side Attack
Much smaller hitboxes for all 3 jabs to better match the visuals.
Grounded Neutral Attack
Removed hitbox on Black Adam’s arms
Grounded/Aerial Up Special
Liftoff triggers 3 frames earlier
Grounded/Aerial Side Special
Increased the acceleration and hitstun of the projectile slightly.
Grounded Up Attack
Added armor on startup
Bugs
Aerial Neutral Attack
Branches into jump earlier
- We wanted to reintroduce some combo paths back to Bugs Bunny, while avoiding his infinite loop. We hope this change does that.
Finn
Weight
Reduced weight from 55 to 49
Aerial Neutral Attack
Active hit frames start 2 frames later
Armored Buns
Block buff is no longer consumed by light projectile attacks
Garnett
Bug
Fixed a bug that was causing her arm hurtboxes to stay on during attacks when they were not intended to.
Gizmo
Grounded Up Attack
Added ammo to popcorn; 3 ammo returns 1 every 10 seconds
- This was added to prevent a strategy that rewarded very passive gameplay in singles.
Grounded/Aerial Neutral Attack
Arrow going through popcorn increased damage from 8 to 10, knockback scaling increased from 12 to 13, base knockback increased from 1250 to 1350.
Bug Fix
Fixed issues where the arrow would be destroyed when it shouldn’t be.
Harley
Weight
Weight increased to 48 from 44
Grounded/Aerial Neutral Special
Bat bomb hitbox now better accounts for z-axis and hits more reliably.
Grounded Side Attack
Jump and dodge cancel window for jab 1 and jab 2 now comes later.
Grounded Side Attack
Knockback angle on jab 2 pushed up more to prevent a looping infinite combo
Grounded Side Attack
Can cancel to other attacks 1 frame earlier on hit.
- We’re testing these changes to remove an infinite combo. We understand this removes some combo routes from Harley, but we felt it was unhealthy for the game and opponents facing it. We’ll continue to evaluate Harley’s power level after this change and welcome any-and-all feedback on these changes.
Jake
Neutral Special
The wall bounce angle has been adjusted to be higher when spitting opponents into vertical walls
- This was changed to prevent a skill-check Knockback-influence (KBI) that could instantly ringout players even at low damage.
Lebron
No-Basketball Down Special (No Basketball)
Defense now properly blocks (and steals!) other LeBron basketballs.
Morty
Gounded Neutral Attack
Jab 3 hitbox size reduced by 15% to better match and visually align with Hammer Morty’s size.
Rick
Bug Fix
Fixed issue where portaling would kill Rick while in the grace area
Bug Fix
Fixed bug where Rick can use ground down attack while on cooldown
Neutral Attack
Addressed inconsistencies in projectile priority for uncharged laser
Shaggy
Aerial Side Attack
Allowing ground momentum movement even when charging the knee. This should allow movement to carry and not get halted for better feel.
Steven Universe
Bug Fix
Fixed issue where Steven or his allies would be hit twice while under the effect of Steven’s neutral dodge shield
Grounded Down Special
Watermelon seed hurtbox shrunk to better match visuals.
Stripe
Weight
Weight reduced to 46 from 52.
Bug Fix
Implemented fixes to Stripes teleporting with chainsaw.
Tom and Jerry
Aerial Up Special
Kicked rocket explosion hitbox now better accounts for z-axis.
Aerial Up Special
Kicked rocket without Jerry attached is now properly classified as a projectile.
Velma
Bug Fix
Fixed several issues where Velma’s speech bubbles would be destroyed when they shouldn’t be.
Aerial/Grounded Neutral Special
Megaphone is now classified as a projectile. Early hits are Light projectile hits, Final hit counts as a Normal projectile hit.
- Megaphone now applies projectile perks
- Megaphone is more reliably blocked by other projectiles and projectile-blocking effects
- Megaphone will ignore invulnerable fighters including those with a projectile sidestep buff
Aeriel Up Attack
Has 2 less active frames at the start of the hit frame.
Grounded Side Special
Added 12 seconds of cooldown
- Velma’s Side Special is commonly used as a quick “pitstop” tool that serves as a means to supply her allies with constant gray health and armor when engaging enemy teams. Providing Velma’s Side Special with cooldown allows us to provide a gate so that Velma players aren’t able to consistently “micro armor” their allies (and self). This adjustment to Velma’s Side Special will ideally still allow Velma players and their allies to more mindfully strategize around this move.
MultiVersus is now available PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
