Harley Quinn combos

Harley Quinn’s primary job is to get her opponents above her so she can combo them vertically. To that end, it is important that Harley players find good ways to approach grounded opponents in order to knock them into the air.

Forward-air is one of Harley’s best tools for approaching enemies and starting combos. After connecting a low-to-the-ground forward-air, Harley can transition into her grounded side-normal combo, finishing with an up-normal to force her opponent into the air. From there, she can begin juggling with moves like up-air and up-special.

In addition, Harley’s neutral-special is helpful for setting up kills. The move does a lot of knockback on its own, so it can kill opponents who happen to be high in the air.

But, if her opponents choose to stay grounded at high percents, she can instead use the neutral-special to launch them high into the air. Afterward, she can follow up with an up-special in order to finish her opponents off.

Perk Effect
Confetti Explosion Instead of igniting, at max stacks the confetti debuff will explode and launch enemies upward.
Glove Control Can aim the direction of the bloxing glove on her down air attack.
Smooth Moves Ground and air side specials also become dodges.

Beyond these, Harley’s typical upgrade path includes a handful of general perks that can greatly enhance her capabilities.

The Defence perk Slippery Customer provides her with a larger window of invulnerability on her dodges. Since Harley frequently uses dodge jumps to move around in the air, this perk ensures she is not hit out of her aerial movement very easily.

Fittingly, the best Offence and Utility perks for Harley Quinn in MultiVersus both enhance her punish game in the air.

Up, Up and A-Slay enables her to deal more damage on moves that send her opponent upwards. Finally, Triple Jump gives her an extra jump after she hits an opponent in the air, allowing her to more effectively follow opponents and hit them past the top blast zone.
