MultiVersus’s latest patch buffs Finn, Arya and Harley and nerfs Iron Giant
The latest MultiVersus patch, arriving today, improves all the assassin characters in the game.
There are currently three assassins – Arya Stark, Finn and Harley Quinn – and all three have received the same buff.
All three characters have a passive ability called Glass Cannon, which sees them take 14% additional damage every time they’re hit.
The idea is that because assassins are very fast and can do high damage, the Glass Cannon passive makes up for this by increasing the damage they take.
However, the new version 1.01 patch arriving today – alongside the addition of Morty as a new character – reduces Glass Cannon so that now assassins only take 5% additional damage.
“We’re evaluating if this passive should be removed entirely,” the patch notes read. “We want to take a step towards that while trying to not go too far too fast. We don’t want to create an assassin dominated meta.”
As well as the buff to the assassin characters, the new update will also weaken Iron Giant, who developer Player First Games claims is “currently dominating with abnormally high win rates at every skill level”.
This is reportedly a particular problem when Iron Giant is combined with Velma, because she can reduce a partner’s cooldown time. As such, both Iron Giant and Velma’s Educated move have been nerfed.
The studio promises that buffs for Taz and Garnet will be coming in the next update.
