Platform fighter games are gradually getting attention from players as developers come up with exciting themes and concepts for them. Warner Bros.’ upcoming multiplayer game MultiVersus is probably going to be one of the biggest platform fighting games ever released. Starting in June 2022, the game had its open beta run until July 2023. Interestingly, players loved the concept, especially the in-game characters. 

With five classes and twenty-four characters, the open beta of the game earned a substantial amount of popularity among players. Finally, it’s time to experience the official game on May 28, 2024. Undoubtedly, the key to platform fighting games is fighting skills, and if you want to be the unbeatable boss of MultiVersus, we have prepared tips to keep in mind during your in-game runs.

Top 5 Tips and Tricks to Become the Unbeatable King of MultiVersus

The most attractive part of MultiVersus is its character list. The character roster of the game features multiple fan-favorite characters from different franchises, including Arya Stark, Batman, Wonder Woman, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Jake the Dog, etc. All these fictional characters can be your party members to fight in the game, but players need to be careful of some tips to become masters in the competitive experience. 

5. Tutorials Are a Must

Becoming a master or expert requires all the essential knowledge of the game mechanics, and nothing can give you more information about them than the tutorial in the beginning. In MultiVersus, players will get a tutorial when they start their first playthrough. After the tutorial, they will be directly taken to the fights. So, as a new player, if you skip the tutorial, you will lose tons of necessary information.

We recommend going through the entire tutorial section, including the advanced tutorials, to understand the fighting system of the game. This is a must for players who haven’t ever played platform-fighter games before. Jumping cluelessly into fights won’t help you at all.

4. Be Careful of the Cooldown Timers

In all fighting games, it is a general rule that players can’t use their characters’ most powerful abilities back-to-back uncountable times. There must be cooldown timers that activate each time you use one powerful move to deal damage to your opponent. MultiVersus is not an exception at all. 

In this game, all the party members will have unique abilities to deal damage to opponents, but none of them work without a cooldown time. The only difference is that some abilities have a long cooldown, while others have a short one. So, keep in mind the cooldown timer of the character abilities during fights to avoid unfavorable situations. 

3. Make Sure Enemies Don’t Hang on the Edge

This is one of the most crucial things to watch out for in platform-fighting games. Platform fighting games are different than other fighting games as the entire fight here takes place on a platform, and the main objective is to throw the opponent out of the platform to win it. So, mastering the skill of edgeguarding is key to these games, including MultiVersus.

During a fight, you may push an enemy from the platform, but if the enemy is skilled enough, it may hang on the edge and again come up on the platform with new moves. To prevent these situations, master edgeguarding to block opponents from recovering. Players can use projectiles to guard the edges of the platform. 

2. Understand Attack Decay

Powerful attacks come with cooldown timers. That’s a fact, but there are a few moves in MultiVersus that characters can use repeatedly without any cooldown timer. Initially, this seems great, but there’s a twist. Attacks that have cooldown timers will remain equally powerful every time you use them after the timer ends. But that’s not the case with the attacks without a cooldown.

If you start spamming an attack without a cooldown timer, after a while, you will see these attacks are doing less damage. The damage rate will decrease the more you use the attacks. That’s called an attack decay. So, we recommend not using a single attack again and again; instead, mix and match your attacks to make the fights more fun.

1. Choose Perks Carefully

The final thing that we suggest you take care of are the perks. The game provides all the characters with several offensive and defensive perks. While they can fight effectively without any perks, equipping them with the right ones will give their abilities a substantial boost. However, the selection should be right according to the character and situation. 

MultiVersus has an option to equip perks automatically, but that’s not reliable. So, we recommend experimenting with the perks and finding the best ones for your characters’ playstyles to give enemies a hard time fighting them. With the right perks, even your weakest character can become a good fighter. Note that, after some time, players can purchase the required perks. 

These are the tips that one should remember before jumping into MultiVersus to be a fighting boss. The fights in the game will become more challenging as you level up, so make sure you are well aware of your characters and fighting strategies to avoid getting frustrated.
