Season 1 Patch - August 15, 2022

https://multiversus.bugs.wbgames.com/patch-notes

General

Morty will be arriving on 08/23! He will be our first Plumbus-wielding character!
The patch will come in two parts. The first will be on August 15 and the second will be coming shortly afterwards (hopefully in the next few days). So not every change, but most will be in the August 15 patch.
New Free Character Rotation (8/15 - 8/30)

Arya
Batman
LeBron
Steven
Meta Systems

Free Rotation Characters now have an icon in character select to identify them
Battle Pass XP match rewards increased to 10 for wins and 5 for losses, up from 5 for wins and 3 for losses.
Disabled class based Battle Pass missions other than for Tanks
Developer Note: Since players might not have access to fighters in specific classes other than Tank (thanks to Wonder Woman), we felt like relying on rerolls was not a reliable enough method to work around those missions.
Lowered the requirements for a number of seasonal missions:
Ringout a player from the top of the map 50 times (previously 75)
Ringout a player from the side of the map 50 times (previously 75)
Ringout a player from the bottom of the map 50 times (previously 75)
Get 50 assists (previously 125)

Characters

Legend:

= Buff

= Nerf
~ = Change
Note: Attacks callouts reference default controls.

Arya

The goal of these changes was to make Arya’s combos be more consistent and successful at lower skill levels.

Air/Ground Up Special - Hitting a fighter will now more accurately launch them at an angle to allow follow-ups for Arya
Air Up Attack - The first hit will now more accurately combo into the second hit.
Neutral Air Attack - Now has earlier branching on hit.
Ground Side Attack - Arya will retain velocity on first hit of side attack.
Ground Down Attack - Now has slightly earlier dodge branching
~ Air/Ground Neutral Special - Fixed a bug where Arya would not copy over capsule hitboxes on her normal neutral attacks when stealing a fighter's face.
Set Arya's hurtbox to match her victim's hurtbox while she is disguised as them.
Fixed a bug where Arya's top UI would be offset incorrectly when she steals a face.
Fixed bug where Arya's disguise attack hitbox could get disconnected.
Fixed bug where Arya's original hitboxes would be useable during disguise attacks.
Fixed bug where the hitboxes from Arya's disguise would stay active during her normal attacks.
Batman

~ Air/Ground Side Special - Fixed bug where Batman would overshoot his grapple destination if the fighter he was grappling to dodged.
Increased the overshooting distance when grappling to an ally.
Fixed Batman grapple failing at short distances under high latency

Ground Side Attack - First hit added 3 frames of whiff recovery.
Air/Ground Neutral Attack (coming in patch 2): Batarang pick up will now return 9.45s of it’s cooldown down from 11.55s. This change helps create a window from when the batarang is used for the opponent to react. With perks like Coffeezilla causing this cooldown to be even shorter, we felt this change was necessary to create counterplay against the batarang.

With perks like Coffeezilla causing this cooldown to be even shorter, we felt this change was necessary to create counterplay against the batarang.
Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is a bit too safe in everything he does. We’ve given him some additional whiff punish windows to help address this.

~ Air Up Special - Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn two rockets.
~ Air Side Special - Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn two rockets.

Air/Ground Neutral Special - Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn multiple safes without triggering his cooldown.
Safe HP reduced from 16 to 14.

Air Up Attack
Added 4 frames of whiff recovery.

Air Neutral Attack - Increased whiff recovery by 5 frames.
Ground Down Attack - Pie max lifetime set to 8 seconds, from infinite.
Pie no longer applies a slow
Finn

Fighting against Finn felt too difficult as Finn felt a bit too safe and could throw out attacks without much fear of a punish due to how quickly he recovered. Hurt/Hit box foundational updates are coming soon, but will not be in this patch.

Passive - Attacks affected by Attack Decay no longer spawn coins
Finn now spawns with 100 gold instead of 200

Air Down Special - Fixed an issue where the gem required 200 gold to spawn, but only cost 100 to spawn. Gem now requires and costs 100

Air Side Special - Added additional whiff recovery.
Ground/Air Up Special - Reduced the strength of the vacuum effect on the backpack
Weaker hits of the backpack will no longer “overwrite” stronger knockbacks from other attacks
Whiffing with all hits will still drop a coin
Added whiff recovery.
Hitboxes should better match the attack (not perfect until our planned hurt/hit box system overhaul)
Air Side Attack - Reduced active frames to diminish Finn’s ability to hit fighters behind him
Ground Down Attack - The distance Finn covers with this attack now scales with how charged the attack is.
Ground Side Attack - Increased whiff recovery for the first hit.

On The House perk - Fixed an issue where Finn still spent gold on gems spawned by the perk
Slightly reduced the launch speed of gems spawned by the perk – this should fix issues that arose when this perk was combined with the “Make it Rain, Dog!” perk
Garnet
Air/Ground Neutral Special - Song activation starts earlier on frame 12 instead of frame 30.
~ Air/Ground Down Special - Fixed bug where Garnet would be stopped by Iron Giant's collision when she moves with her down special.

Can no longer use cannonball attack when out of air specials
Knockback angle changed to send fighters more horizontally and away from Iron Giant.
Fixed issues that allowed for infinitely bouncing on enemies near the ground

LeBron

~ Air/Ground Side Special - LeBron’s solo dunk no longer spawns a shockwave on the ground.
The alley-oop teleport version of LeBron’s dunk spawns a shockwave and will launch fighters into the shockwave. The shockwave will launch fighters into a final hit that applies Weakened debuff.
Solo dunk knockback and hitbox size increased
Fixed a bug where LeBron could dunk himself into the sky
~ Ground/Air Down Special (No Ball) - Adjusted to prevent ball spam

Air Side Attack - Branches earlier on hit; fix for hitbox hitting behind him too much
Air Neutral Attack - Branches earlier on hit to increase combo potential.
Fix for ball neutral air branching into no ball neutral air.
Ground Side Attack/ Ground Down Attack - Removed shared attack decay from side attack and down attack
Ground Side Attack - 3 hit combo hits more consistently.
~ Ground Neutral Attack - Fixed angle of attack.
~ Basketball - Fixed some team color issues that would occur when reflecting LeBron basketball.
Fixed an issue where LeBron could be stuck attacking without his ball while visually holding his ball
~ Hot Hands perk - When an ally catches a no-look pass while the Hot Hands perk is equipped, the basketball pass buff will emit flames to let allies know they will throw an ignited basketball

Reduced chicken duration from 10 seconds to 8

Increased the size of the chicken
Air/Ground Down Special - Adjusted projectile movement direction of Taz spit projectiles to be more forward and less of a lob.
When Taz spits a projectile back at a fighter, the projectile will maintain its original speed.
Air/Ground Neutral Special - If Taz eats a projectile that can't be spit back out, he will refresh a count of his apple core ability.
Increased size of hit collision for Taz eating projectiles on his neutral special. Also made it possible to eat projectiles a few frames earlier.

Ground Up Attack - Now a two-hit attack. The early hit combos into the sandwich clap

om And Jerry

What time is it? Patch time! We've got some fixes comin' your way tomorrow, MVPs. Check out the summary below, or read about it on our website: https://multiversus.bugs.wbgames.com/patch-notes

-Are your Icons turning unprompted during attacks? We’ve improved on that controller issue! If your Icons keep misbehaving, let us know by submitting a support ticket.

-Iron Giant’s hitboxes no longer spawn below him. Be safe out there, big guy!
-Garnet’s feeling better: now she can combo out of her air down while her target is on the ground.
-LeBron and Wonder Woman's stat tracker badges on the mastery track are fresh and fixed too!

-Marvin’s spaceship is now safe from Superman’s ice breath. And if he sticks a flag on the ship, it won’t stay floating there after the ship returns to Mars.

-Get it together, Morty! Now he can move to his down special marker, even if it's overlapping with another fighter. No more teleports to the middle of the map when he warps back to an occupied spot, either.

-Taz’s sandwich attack is more delicious now! The vacuum strength of the first hit is increased, and the knockback influence is decreased. Meaning: the ability to combo into the second hit of the attack is more consistent.

Hello MVPs! Our mid-season 1.05 patch is here, and with it comes the addition of Free-For-All mode, Spectator mode, post-game stats, and various character balance changes. As always, thanks so much for your valuable feedback on Reddit, Discord, and our other social channels–you are appreciated! Let’s go ahead and dive in, shall we?

General
• New Fighter: Agent Smith joins the Multiverse! If players complete enough tiers in the “Beat Rifts, Get Agent Smith Free!” event, they can begin playing with him as early as July 8 ! How’s that for breaking reality? Agent Smith will then be available for purchase on July 23.

• New Mode: Free-For-All game mode has been added to our Normal PvP Queues! Battle against up to 3 other players to become king of the Multiverse. First player to 4 ringouts is the winner! We’re experimenting with a different, more simplified ruleset for Free-For-All. Let us know how you like the mode!

• New Mode: Spectator mode is now available for custom games! Become the ultimate support teammate and cheer on your friends without entering the ring yourself. Lobbies can support up to 4 spectators per game.

• Post-game stats have returned! You can now see your total ringouts and damage dealt on the results screen after any PvP or PvE match.

• Battle Pass Tiers can now be purchased with Gleamium.

• Added a daily free item available to be collected in the Store.

• Fighter Select Portraits have been changed from 3D to 2D art renders for Fighters only. Variants will retain the 3D renders.

• Added an option to edit Perks in Custom Game mode.

• We’ve added the option to turn on/off both Outline Colors and Team Colors in PvP and PvE. These can be configured in the Settings menu.

Rifts

The Megalodog PvE Rift is NOW AVAILABLE!

Future Rifts have been added and will unlock later in the season:
• “Age of Smith” Rift
• “Triple Threat” Rift

Rift Updates

• “Rift Cauldrons” are now called “Rift Star Meters.” Star Meters can now be completed by collecting 72% of available stars in a Rift, down from 80%. Players who have already completed 72% of available stars can claim their rewards retroactively by completing a node in the relevant Rift.
• Daily Gem Rewards now appear on a Rift of each attunement each day.
• Added a new button to auto-equip gems before the match if currently equipped gems are mismatched.
• Added a new button to retry a Rift node when the Rift is completed in single-player mode.
• Added a new button to leave Rift matches when in single-player mode.
• Defeated Boss requirements have been lowered to unlock Matrix Code Superman, Matrix Code Bugs Bunny, and Matrix Code Jake variants.

Rift Balance Updates
• Area-Of-Effect attack damage has been reduced on higher difficulties
• Reflect damage has been reduced on higher difficulties
• Armature knockback reduced

Account Systems
• Badges now show stats on Account Cosmetics screen
• Account mastery, character mastery, and leaderboards now show progress for all matches in a set in the post-match match summary rather than just the last match
• Fixed an issue where incomplete matches would display as losses on the Career screen

Input Preferences
We are re-introducing some of the input preferences that were popular during our Open Beta. We hope this helps players feel more comfortable as they fine-tune their combat experience.

Added this patch:
• Customizable input buffer timing
• Customizable control stick input deadzones (both left and right sticks)
• Swap side/neutral attack inputs for ground or air
• Toggleable option to use attack inputs to pick up items
• Fastfall method input settings (tap down or hold down)
• Customizable Neutral Dodge input binding

Combat Changes
• Upon hitstun ending, fighters now incur a 6-frame lockout on the neutral dodge action. This will make it more difficult to parry attacks in the middle of a combo. Directional dodges are unaffected.
• Excessively long combo strings now apply a vacuum attack hitstun decay penalty. This should allow for players to more easily escape previously inescapable infinite team combos such as alternating Superman rapid jab combos.
• Attacks that incapacitate fighters now apply a temporary incapacitate-resistance buff to the incapacitated fighter. This will make subsequent incapacitate attacks have a much shorter duration. This should allow for players to more easily escape previously inescapable infinite incapacitate combos such as alternating Jake bite/spit. Affected attacks will be noted in individual character patch notes.
• Side attack combo input buffers have been standardized for all fighters. It should now be easier to buffer a different attack during a jab combo without accidentally inputting further attacks in the jab combo.
General Bugfixes
• Fixed an issue where fighters that took fire or shock damage on the same frame they were hit by an attack would cause the attack to be ignored.
• Fixed an issue where fighters could respawn without spawn invulnerability.
General Perks
• Fixed an issue where all Team perks were always giving their stacked effect.
Protective Momentum
• Projectile shield now breaks after blocking one normal or heavy projectile

Bugs Bunny
Bugs Bunny is living up to his identity as a strong mage a little bit too well right now. We’re hoping to reduce the time that his safe can remain on screen by making it a bit more fragile, and we’re looking to tone down some of the more toxic loops that come from his air neutral attack.
• Air Neutral Attack
• - Repeat-move lockout increased to 18 frames from 8 frames
• - On-hit jump branch window delayed 4 frames
• ~ Attacking a safe will now only knock back the safe on the last hit of the attack
 We're keeping an eye on this change and may adjust in a hotfix if this makes neutral air attack + safe interactions too difficult

• - Hitbox active duration reduced 2 frames
• Air/Ground Down Attack (Pie)

• ~ Increased attach radius to 575 units from 250 units; Gizmo should have an easier time snapping to his car or his allies without needing to precisely aim the attack

Harley Quinn
Harley’s balance was mostly tackled in the 1.02 patch, we made some additional finer tuning based on feedback. We have adjusted Ground Up attack to feel more responsive and to allow Harley to pressure her opponents with follow ups. Both Harley’s neutral special Bat Doll and Stripe’s down special Dynamite have been adjusted so the item timer begins to tick down immediately once equipped to make these items have windows of counterplay.
• Ground Up Attack
• + On-hit branch window advanced 6 frames
• Ground Down Attack
• + Maximum movement from charge increased 5%
• Air Up Attack

• * Fixed a bug that would allow this attack to hit 5 times on occasion instead of the intended max of 3 hits

Jake
Jake has been having a rough time since our official launch. With these changes we’re looking to make him feel more like an aerial bruiser and less like a bite-spammer.
• General
• * Fixed an issue where Jake could not hold special inputs using the right stick

**Steven Universe **
Steven’s long range and low whiff-recovery has made him feel incredibly oppressive in close fights.

Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman has been feeling a little strong since the official launch. We want her to keep her identify as the easy-to-pickup, armor tank, but in that vein we don’t think she should be able to score ringouts easier than the rest of the cast. These changes should make her feel a little easier to play against while slightly toning down her KO power.

__General __

Rifts
The “Naptime is Over” PvE Rift is NOW AVAILABLE!
The “Batman Megamix” PvE Rift has been added and will unlock later in the season:

Rift Updates
● Gems can now be leveled up to level 20 instead of level 10, but total maximum XP and maximum strength are unchanged. Current gems will scale to their new level based on their current XP, and level 10 gems will scale to level 20 gems with the start of Season 3.
● Rift difficulties are now unlocked based on total gem XP rather than the average level of the player’s top 3 gems.

Rift Combat Updates
● Updated several level actors to support controller rumble feedback

Ranked

● Fixed a bug causing RP calculation to read inaccurate skill ratings
● Defeating players of a higher tier than you now has a higher minimum RP gain before MMR is accounted for
● Losing to players of a higher tier than you now has a lower maximum RP loss

Note: We started with a light touch, if we feel RP gains aren't appropriate for a significant difference in ranks, we will tune further via server hotfixes

● Base progression in lower tiers has been toned down a bit as there are now multiple mechanisms to accelerate high skill and experienced players
● Matchmaking favors games with players within a single tier, but may still fallback to two tiers
● Pre-made groups are assigned their MMR by the strongest player for both placement and RP calculations
● Raised the target MMR for Master
● Master I players will decay RP for inactivity
Coming In a Future Patch: Win Streaks will be displayed in face-off

Unranked + Ranked:
● We now use OpenSkill to calculate MMR instead of a customized version of Glicko for matchmaking. This should result in new and returning players getting more appropriate games.

Iron Giant
Iron Giant has many changes to knockback angles, dodge boosted attack windows on hit, and adjustments to “Rage” mode in this patch. The focus is to create new combo routes that have a finisher, without allowing longer extensions that guarantee offstage carries. The Rage mode changes will also address the dominance a team gained during this timeframe and level the playing field.

Jake
While strong from a distance, Jake was lacking in ways to approach the opponents outside of using his bite command grab that led to a significant reward. We have improved on Jake’s grounded gameplay to allow for better boxing tools, and also improved knockback angles on some aerial attacks to allow for more aggressive combo starters.

LeBron
Lebron without Basketball was too difficult to find success with, leading matches to focus on a more passive gameplay or trying to keep the basketball as often as possible. We have improved many attacks involving the No Basketball stance so Lebron will feel more fun to play without basketball. Also with the introduction to the grounded tech system, we have added more ways for Lebron to ground bounce opponents for combo starters.

Marvin
While successful from a distance, Marvin was lacking ways to properly box with opponents in a meaningful way. We have improved Marvin’s overall combo game, and made him easier for a newer player to pick up and try. This includes a return to his Neutral Special (Button) being an active part of his kit as a combo starter.

Marvin was also experiencing moments where projectiles would not hit an opponent after dodging it at any time, we are looking into a fix for this in an upcoming patch. Neutral special has been adjusted to address part of this issue in this patch.

Reindog
Reindog is a character who is meant to have success as a teammate, but was lacking enough utility to bring to a team compared to others. In our last patch we improved on Reindog’s combo game by returning Side Air Attack to a ground bounce combo starter leading to improvements in the 1v1s space, and this patch we are addressing the 2v2s space. We have improved tether usage, increased KO power when thrown by a teammate, and also improved the movement for down air to allow better team follow ups for KOs.

Tom & Jerry
A majority of Tom & Jerry’s focus revolved around using Up Attack as the all or nothing attack option due to its reward for hitting, and also Tom & Jerry’s lack of other safe approach tools outside of zoning. This led to gameplay in which passive play was the primary choice until you could find a hit with the Up Attack.

With this patch we have adjusted the Up Attack to prevent loops into itself, and resetting with jab. We have also improved their gameplay to allow more unique exploration of the kit with new combo routes.
