The fighting game<\/strong> smashes together characters from all over animation — but not all of them are the best beginner characters<\/strong> in MultiVersus<\/a>. Though the game has familiar mechanics, everyone has to start somewhere, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dive in with a little insider knowledge to see which character playstyles <\/strong>work best for you. Let’s break down the best characters in MultiVersus for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best beginner characters in MultiVersus, start with Shaggy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 1500 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hapless Scooby Doo <\/strong>investigator really brings it on the battlefield. Categorized as a bruiser <\/strong>type, Shaggy<\/strong> excels at getting in your face and retreating quickly. You can put down lots of damage<\/strong> with his basic attack alone. In tandem with his “Zoinks!”<\/strong> ability, you’ll do even more damage and you can heal others by throwing them sandwiches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get a feel for the game physics, the maps, and how the game handles<\/strong> overall, beginners should try Shaggy first. Unfortunately, Shaggy does not start out as an unlocked character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to tank with Superman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn the basics<\/strong> of MultiVersus, Superman<\/strong> makes for a fantastic introductory character. The man of steel comes equipped with everything one needs to be a super tanky fighter<\/strong>. He can take many hits and still keep on coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike characters like Wonder Woman, Superman offers more inherent versatility. He isn’t as impaired by cooldowns and his elemental abilities <\/strong>provide useful ranged options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bugs Bunny the Magician, see?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classic cartoon sass machine is one of the best mage-class options<\/strong> in MultiVersus. Typically, mage types tend to be less robust than other characters. But Bugs<\/strong> has a surprising amount of survivability<\/strong> making him ideal for anyone trying to learn the mage class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use “Bunny Burrow” <\/strong>to evade enemies if you feel in danger. That gives you time to regroup and reposition. This character is also fantastic for people who want to practice against real people<\/strong> instead of AI with less anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finn the human: one of the best beginner characters in MultiVersus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affable, good-natured Finn<\/strong> actually falls under the assassin class in MultiVersus. This makes him very susceptible to damage, but also able to deal explosive damage<\/strong> quickly. If you are the type to quickly ambush an enemy and then quickly flee after a couple of hits, Finn is the character for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finn is great to learn basic assassin mechanics<\/strong>, but new players can get distracted by his coin collection passive ability. Every coin you collect grants you additional damage, but you shouldn’t go for a single coin if it means you will take lots of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From super-sleuth to super support with Velma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing a support class <\/strong>character in MultiVersus is a developing process. But Velma<\/strong> is a solid place to start to get the hang of how best to help your teammates. However, Velma can<\/em> do damage herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her mobility and speed<\/strong> come in handy when keeping apace with teammates. Players can also collect “evidence” in order to summon a police car in battle. As with other games such as League of Legends<\/a>, support roles are focused on buffing, debuffing, and crowd control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jake the dog teaches you timing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Adventure Time character, Jake<\/strong> is deceptively simple despite seeming difficult to learn. He’s a bruiser<\/strong> with lots of active abilities and the power to transform. This freedom is what may take some new players time to adjust to, but Jake is one of the best characters for learning the ins and outs of MultiVersus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall back on the basics of the fighting game then start to experiment. You’ll learn when to time abilities <\/strong>for maximum benefit and when to engage or disengage in combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Get up close and personal with Harley Quinn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The in-your-face psychiatrist turned villainess\/occasional good guy is another assassin character<\/strong> in the game. What makes Harley<\/strong> one of the best characters for beginners in MultiVersus is her easy-to-pick-up skillset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use her close-range attacks for damage but maintain distance while still doing damage with ranged abilities. The biggest learning curve <\/strong>lies in her “Confetti Debuff” ability as timing it can be a bit tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reindog: a different kind of support character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 2000 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindog <\/strong>is another support class character in MultiVersus and the only original character <\/strong>so far. His skill set is very accessible for new players in how straightforward it is. You can attach a tether<\/strong> to another character that damages enemies who touch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Reindog a fantastic option to learn positioning<\/strong> in the game. He’s also an adorable hybrid of a reindeer, a dog, and some kind of teddy bear Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taz: hard to balance, but easy to learn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> 1500 Gold or 700 Gleamium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taz’<\/strong> skill set is so hard to balance, but it never stops being fun to play. Even if the game keeps changing around his damage numbers and other stats, he remains of the best characters<\/strong> for beginners in MultiVersus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another bruiser <\/strong>character, Taz has high mobility and can even transform his enemies into food for himself or teammates using a debuff. Just be careful not to fling yourself off the map with his spin attack<\/strong> accidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I get free characters in MultiVersus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, it’s not easy to obtain characters in MultiVersus. There is a free-to-play character rotation<\/strong> every 2 weeks with just 4 characters available. If you want more variety or a specific character, you’ll have to pay the Gold<\/strong> or Gleamium<\/strong> cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
