MultiVersus Update 1.16 Patch Notes from December 15, 2022

This perk was doing the opposite of what the text described, making Batman stronger during reel in and not spawning a proper blast at the end. The perk text and behavior have been overhauled to better match this perk’s intended use.

• Grapple hook now ignores all other projectiles, but should be properly blocked by projectile-blocking effects.
• Fixed an issue where Batman could suffer knockback and begin reeling in before he is launched.
• Grapple hook and tether now break immediately if Batman cancels the attack with jump or dodge

• Can no longer be immediately canceled out of if Batman has hit an enemy
• Active Frames end earlier by 3 frames

No longer applies Weakened debuff stacks on hit

• Increased Base knockback to 1350, up from 1300.
• Increased knockback Scaling to 12, up from 11.5
• Added 3 frames of end lag.

Jab 2 angle pushed more upwards

Hitboxes shrunk significantly

Throwing upward with the lightning grapple will now pull enemies toward Black Adam more

Shield health reduced from 4 hits to 3

Shield can now only take damage from normal and heavy projectiles.

Now properly blocks Superman’s eye laser, but the laser will cause a delayed explosion on the shield as if the laser had hit the ground.

No longer heals Bugs or his allies if they are hit with a reflected pie.

• Experimenting with a systemic change to eliminate Z-axis issues; as a side effect, all of Finn’s hitboxes have been resized slightly.
• Arm and shoulder hitboxes have been removed from Finn’s sword attacks.
• Fixed the hitbox on the base of Finn’s sword not being attached to his skeleton correctly, causing it to activate inside Finn’s body during sword attacks.
• Feedback welcome on this change. We will roll this update out to the rest of the characters, if this update works well.

• Text and behavior have been updated: applying a shocked debuff to an enemy now has a chance to grant a stack of rhythm.
• Several moves and effects that apply a shocked debuff have been tweaked to more consistently proc the perk.

• Hitbox now better accounts for Z-axis.
• On-hit shocked debuff duration now scales based on attack charge time to a maximum of 3 seconds. Uncharged debuff duration is unchanged at 1 second.

Fixed an issue where Garnet and her allies would keep the 1-stack rhythm speed buff for a few seconds after rhythm fell off.

Electric zone explosion now applies a shocked debuff.

Music notes are now classified as light projectiles. This will make them weaker versus enemy projectiles but will solve issues where they were blocking/colliding with ally projectiles.

Increased movement to 1100, up from 1000.

• Visual explosion size decreased, but hitbox now better matches explosion visuals.
• Explosion will now connect with all nearby enemies, regardless of which team triggered the explosion.
• More properly clanks/interacts with other projectiles.
• Fixed an issue where enemies hit by the explosion would not receive a confetti debuff.
• Fixed an issue where Harley or her ally could trigger the jump reset, but the knockback would be suffered by the other teammate.

• Whiff recovery reduced by 4 frames
• We missed a patch note last patch where whiff recovery was increased 12 frames. This change was a bit too much and the reduced whiff recovery now nets out at 8 instead of 12.

On Hit cancel delayed by 2 frames to prevent an infinite combo route.

• Fixed an issue where Iron Giant would maintain his upward momentum if he interrupted an upward evade early.
• This fix removes Iron Giant’s “Moon Jump”.

Held fighters will immediately break hitstun if Iron Giant jumps or enters the air after grabbing a fighter.

• Reduced the amount of float the character has while in the air.
• These changes were put in to prevent the long duration air stalling that Jake was able to perform.

• Reduced the amount of float the character has while in the air.
• These changes were put in to prevent the long duration air stalling that Jake was able to perform.

On hit canceling to another attack delayed by 3 frames.

No longer destroyed by Wonder Woman’s Shield of Athena signature perk

Fix for a bug that was causing a jump cancel from the air down attack to not be a full jump. The jump will now go the intended distance.

Fixed an issue where Plumbus hitbox would be incorrectly offset in the z-axis if Morty was facing left.

• Fixed an issue where Morty’s blaster projectiles and snakes could be knocked away by enemies under specific conditions.
• Cooldown blaster and grenade-targeting blaster are now classified as light projectiles.

Grenades are no longer destroyed by enemy light projectiles.

Fixed an issue where the projectile could be knocked away by enemies under specific conditions.

Increased whiff recovery by 5 frames to reduce how safe and spammable this attack is.

Adjusted the launch speed of jab 3 rocket so that it’s based on charge time.

• Longer charges increase speed of the rocket.

Another attempted online fix for the movement occasionally not happening.

• We haven’t been able to reproduce this bug, but found some issues that might be causing it. Let us know if this bug happens again after the attempted fix.

Removed armor break from individual hits

Re-added 15 second rage timer that was removed in a hotfix due to a bug

Fixed issue that was preventing this taunt from being equipped on other Variants besides Shaggy’s Default

Fixed an issue where branching into neutral air attack from shielding would lock the attack into a full charge

No longer applies hitpause to Steven if he hits a fighter.

• Active frames on start up pushed back by 1 frame.
• Whiff lag increased by 1 frame.
• Reduced hitbox size by 7.5%.
• Reduced charge damage multiplier from 2x to 1.5x.
• Clamping speed at the end of the attack to allow a greater window to punish on whiff.
• We clamped the speed a bit to charged Side Air Attack, because it was incredibly safe with the ability to carry momentum.

• Kicked rocket without Jerry attached now properly classified as a projectile.
• Explosion hitbox now better accounts for z-axis

“Hey!” marker projectile no longer pierces armor.
