Batman combos

As a Vertical fighter in MultiVersus, Batman likes bouncing his opponents into the air and comboing them vertically. While a bit difficult to land, a low-to-the-ground down-air on stage can do just that, allowing Batman to follow up with a string of grounded up-normals, up-airs, and up-specials.

Meanwhile, the Batarang can set up combos from a distance. After hitting an opponent with the Batarang, Batman can rush in with a forward air, then transition into a grounded side-normal combo, potentially ending with an up-normal finisher to start further aerial juggling.

Perk Effect
Bouncerang Hitting an enemy with a returning Batarang will apply additional stacks of weakened.
Precision Grapple The grappling hook reels in faster and causes a powerful blast when arriving at the destination.

Batman’s natural perk progression does not include any Defence perks. Instead, the character relies more so on Offence and Utility perks that promote a more aggressive playstyle.

With the Offence perk Hit ‘Em While They’re Down, Batman deals 10% extra damage to debuffed enemies. This synergizes well with the Batarang, which is already an important part of his kit.

In addition, Batman’s two recommended Utility perks are Gravity Manipulation and Aerial Acrobat.

Gravity Manipulation increases Batman’s fast fall speed by 10%. Since he is so light, this can help him quickly get out of the air, where he is often at risk of dying to a strong upward attack. Meanwhile, Aerial Acrobat increases his air acceleration by 10%, further improving his aerial movement.
