There is a new leaderboard that shows the players that have reached the Master's tier with the most characters. Show the world that you're not just a character specialist by placing as many characters into the Master's tier as you can!
Players can now choose to concede a ranked match in between games in the best-of-3
Players can now be immediately promoted out of Bronze and Silver if they win a game with a high MMR
There is now less difference in RP rewards between Gold V and Platinum V
Potential RP loss per game is now capped at all tiers. Silver and Gold players can no longer lose more than 1 game worth of RP for a loss.
Grandmaster rewards: Combat Changes
We're making a myriad of general combat changes in an attempt to reward more offensive gameplay. These changes affect all fighters universally, but any additional character-specific changes will be listed in the character patch notes.
Dodge Cancels
Dodge Attacks now cost only 2 units of dodge meter, down from 3 units
Dodge Attacks and Dodge Jumps now play a special visual effect to help with clarity for all players
Receiving a hit after a Dodge Cancel where the initial Dodge avoided an attack will now remove the "DODGED" text pop-up
Dodge Jump cancel window while dodge meter is empty (fatigued) delayed 18 frames; now matches fatigued Dodge Attack cancel window
Dodge Lands
Fixed an issue where fighters could sometimes dodge into the ground without Dodge Landing
Fighters now have more movement control on the ground during a dodge land
Forward Dodge Lands can now carry fighter momentum off the ledge of the main platform
Dodge Fatigue (Empty Dodge Meter)
Base dodge fatigue time increased to 10 seconds from 8 seconds
Wall Cling & Wall Fatigue
Fighters will reach maximum wall fatigue after spending 5 seconds on a wall, down from 8.5 seconds.
Fighters will begin to slide faster on a wall after 2 consecutive wall clings, down from 4.
Fighters will reach maximum wall fatigue after 8 consecutive wall clings, down from 12.
Fighters will no longer refresh their air dodges or air specials if they wall cling at maximum wall fatigue
Fighters losing dodge meter from maximum wall fatigue can no longer gain any dodge meter until the fighters land on solid ground.
*NEW* Priority Hitboxes
Certain attacks can now be classified as "low priority" hitboxes. Low priority attacks cannot trade with normal attacks. If a low priority attack connects with an enemy on the same frame the attacker is hit with a normal attack, the low priority attack will be ignored. Character-specific low priority attacks will be listed in the character patch notes.
All ground side attack combo hits (besides the finisher attack) are now considered low priority attacks.
Terrain Bounces
No longer affected by attack decay
Knockback reduced
*NEW* Automatic Ground Teching
When a fighter is the victim of a combo that includes a terrain bounce, if they are floor bounced again in the same combo they will instead perform an automatic tech. An automatic tech breaks the combo by stopping the fighter on the ground and returning them to an idle pose with invincibility frames. If the fighter holds left/right during the tech, they will move a short distance in that direction while retaining fewer invincibility frames. The automatic tech will not occur if the floor bounce happens too soon after the first terrain bounce.
This will allow us to add more power into ground bounce combos without fear of accidentally introducing infinite loops in the future.
General Bugfixes
Fixed an issue where end-of-game and mission damage dealt stats were inaccurate.
Fixed an issue where certain attacks would trade incorrectly.
Fixed an issue where fighters could perform certain actions while rung out

Ground Down Special
+ On-hit cancel window advanced 18 frames (after second hit)
Batman

Finn
Finn is living up to his ideal as a speedy, combo-heavy assassin a little too well right now with his ability to carry opponents across the stage resulting in very low damage ring outs. We want to promote a little more offense from Finn by reducing his ability to charge his attacks for extended periods of time, while also making his combo game a little easier to deal with.

Rage Mode Ground Down Attack
- Repeat-move lockout increased to 24 frames from 17 frames
Jake
Jake has been underperforming for a while due to the over-centralizing strength of his Bite neutral special. We are looking to evaluate some quality-of-life buffs for a future patch to make his strategy less Bite-dependent.
General
* Fixed an issue where Jake's neutral dodges were not playing their ending animations

LeBron
Congratulations to LeBron James on winning Gold! In celebration we've given LeBron some buffs, but only because he won. Our new Auto-Tech system allows us to prevent an infinite loop that was occuring due to being able to repeatedly ground-bounce opponents so we're reverting the change to Air Down Special from the last hotfix patch.
Ground Side Attack 1
+ Now more consistently combos into ground side attack 2
Air/Ground Side Special

Rick
Rick has become very frustrating for opponents due to the large size of his jab and how often players use the move in neutral. We want to reduce the strength of his jab while also giving him better combo tools across his kit to increase diversity in his moveset.

Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack was released as an incredibly popular new fighter, and players immediately found success with his strong side special and quick Focus Meter gain. Were hoping to tone down his side special as a "do everything" attack and also reduce the number of times players can use his super strong Focus Meter attacks in a single game. This should bring him more in line with the rest of the cast.
General
* Fixed an issue where Jack was rotated perpendicular to terrain when terrain bouncing
* Fixed issue where Jack's dance animation wouldn't play when affected by Gizmo's "Rhythm's Gonna Getcha" perk

Air/Ground Up Special
* Fixed an issue where The Joker could sometimes not ride his balloon immediately on spawn
Velma
Velma can be oppressive as a projectile zoner, but still lacks the tools to complete her combos when she gets into melee range. We are limiting the strength of her projectile tools while increasing the strength of her close-range attacks to give her a better punish-game when she finds her moment to strike. We have also given her a new attack in the form of an on-cooldown down special that she can use to start combos at close range.

Ground Side Attack 1
+ Start-up window reduced 2 frames
- On-whiff cancel window delayed 3 frames

*NEW* Air/Ground Down Special (Cooldown)

Combat Changes
We are looking at combat mechanics across the cast with an intent to reward more offensive gameplay. Several attacks have been updated to work better as combo starters, and we have adjusted ground jumps to allow for easier aerial approaches. We expect to have more changes to share in the midseason patch.
We are also updating the language in our patch notes. Previous patch notes have used the term "branch window" to describe the period of time where a player can input a new action to interrupt a fighter animation before it has completed. From now on patch notes will refer to this period as a "cancel window"
Fighters now maintain their ground momentum into a ground jump even if it exceeds their maximum air speed. This will allow for fighters to better "jump in" against defensive enemies.
Fighters frozen by receiving maximum stacks of ice debuff now applies an incapacitate-resistance buff to frozen fighters
Fighters affected by the "Stop Camping" debuff can no longer gain any dodge meter until the fighters engage in combat.
Fighters clinging to a wall will begin to slide faster after spending 1.5 seconds on the wall, down from 2.5 seconds; time until "wall fatigue" debuff unchanged.
Terrain bounce knockback has been standardized across the cast to prevent lighter characters from taking extra knockback from terrain bounces
Maximum Weakened debuff stacks has been reduced to 3 from 5
General Bugfixes
Fixed an issue where a fighter undergoing extremely high knockback would not be knocked away.

+ Hitbox size increased
Ground Side Attack, Neutral Attack Follow-up (Whip)

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

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

- Car is now automatically destroyed if left idle for 6 seconds

Air/Ground Up Special
~ 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.

+ On-hit branch window advanced 6 frames

+ Upper body is now projectile intangible while Iron Giant is spinning
* Fixed a bug that would allow this attack to hit 5 times on occasion instead of the intended max of 3 hits

Steven Universe
Steven's long range and low whiff-recovery has made him feel incredibly oppressive in close fights. His low whiff-recovery combos pair particularly well with his bubble shield passive making it very difficult to punish Steven when he makes a mistake. These changes target his range and whiff-recovery to bring him more in-line with the rest of the cast.
General
* Fixed an issue where Steven's enemies could stack rose debuff on themselves by hitting each other

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.

We hope that you're as excited as we are for all of the changes heading to MultiVersus in v1.05 following a brief maintenance. Be sure to let us know your thoughts by joining our awesome community on our social channels. We'll be back with more updates soon. Stay tuned!
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.

Mojo Jojo increased interval between attacks
Bombs and laser knockback reduced
Mojo Jojo takes more damage before attacks are interrupted
Tree Fort
Bounce pads should more reliably bounce fighters and prevent them from fully landing on the platform.
We hope that you're as excited as we are for all of the changes heading to MultiVersus in v1.05 following a brief maintenance. Be sure to let us know your thoughts by joining our awesome community on our social channels. We'll be back with more updates soon. Stay tuned!

We are also planning a larger balance patch, targeting delivery in the near future. But for now, we are continuing to address feedback and hotfix issues as they arise.
After collecting a ton of data, we're happy to share that our disconnect rates have been dramatically reduced on all platforms including XB1 and PS4.
With the patch that went out earlier today, we fixed an issue where the game was incorrectly treating a long loading screen as a network timeout. We believe this was causing the high disconnect rates on PS4 and XB1. We have been monitoring and believe the patch has dramatically lowered disconnect rates on PS4 and XB1. Please let us know if this has improved for you!
Thanks to everyone who reported this issue and provided additional data - keep your reports coming!
Below you will find our most recent adjustments for both the 1.03 and 1.04 hotfixes.
