Reindog is a unique fighter made just for MultiVersus, but he can still go just as hard as some of the other iconic characters. Learning all of his move variations, specials, and combos is key to unlocking his full potential, but it takes some time to master everything.

Reindog combos

Reindog’s forward-air is his best combo starter in MultiVersus. By falling into an opponent with this multi-hit spin attack, he can then follow up with a grounded forward-normal or up-normal.

After the grounded up-normal, he will automatically leap into the air and can continue the combo with a two-hit up-air.

Reindog can also pop opponents into the air with his powerful down-air. Conversely, he can take advantage of his slow-moving projectiles to set up unique kills. Players can try launching a projectile off stage, then using his strong grounded down-normal to force their opponent into the projectile.

Reindog perks

Perk Effect
Crystal Pal Reindog's crystal follows him.
Fire Fluff  The fireball creates a larger firewall after hitting the ground.

As a fighter whose primary job is to hang back and support or rack up quick damage with combos, Reindog doesn’t gain any Defence perks naturally.

Even so, he benefits from the Utility perk Fancy Footwork, which increases his dodge distance by 5%. This effectively buffs his aerial mobility, considering the importance of dodge jumping for moving through the air.

Then, Reindog can buff his offensive game with two Offence perks. The aptly named Make It Rain, Dog! makes his projectiles move 20% faster. Meanwhile, he can deal 5% more damage to debuffed enemies thanks to the Hit ‘Em While They’re Down perk.
