MultiVersus Patch Notes 1.04

Halloween is coming to MultiVersus and who better than the infamous Stripe to bring terror to the field? In this patch 1.04The new game features a new playable character, a new map, a Halloween event, numerous skins and of course a host of character modifications.

Stripe joins MultiVersus

Stripethe leader of the Gremlins is ready to wreak havoc in MultiVersus! This assassin will slice through the bacon, whether with his claws or his chainsaw. A skin in reference to Gizmo's Rambo costume is also available.

A new map in beta

A new map will be available in a few days. It can only be played in custom games for the time being as it is still in the testing phase. The developers are looking forward to any feedback on this new battle arena.

A special Halloween event

From 15 October to 15 November there is a Halloween event on MultiVersus. Each game makes you win sweetsa special currency only available during the event. You earn more candy if you have a Halloween skin or a skin on Gizmo or Stripe. Exchange your candy for various Halloween-themed rewards.

Game mechanics

Inifini anti-combo system - Established in the Patch 1.03This system will now weaken attacks when you use the same attack 3 times in a combo, instead of 4 times. As a reminder, the goal is to push players to create more creative combos rather than to trap the opponent in the same attack sequence.

Dodge cooldown - The dodge gauge in MultiVersus fills up so quickly that it might as well not exist. In order to give more importance to this gauge and to encourage players to use dodges more thoughtfully, the dodge will now recharge more slowly.

Character balancing in patch 1.04

As always, the patch changes many characters in MultiVersus. To make it easier to understand the changes, we put a different symbol to symbolize the type of change.

+ = a buff
- = a nerve

+ Special High Ground/Air : Opponents now only have 70% of influence on retreat, instead of 100%. (This is a temporary test.)
+ Special Ground/Air side : The dash on the knife hits more easily the opponents far away.
