MultiVersus Update 1.05 Patch Notes on July 2nd

Player First Games has released the highly anticipated mid-season MultiVersus Update 1.05, bringing new modes like Free-For-All and Spectator mode, as well as character balance changes. The addition of Agent Smith as a new fighter and the return of post-game stats are sure to shake up the Multiverse. Read the full patch notes below.

MultiVersus Update 1.05 Patch Notes:

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. 

Protective Momentum 

  • Projectile shield now breaks after blocking one normal or heavy projectile

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

  • “Lingering Love” Perk 
    • + Now has a melee hitbox while projectile spawn is on cooldown 

Finn

  • “Marker” Perk 
    • ~ Gauntlets no longer spawn a star if the gauntlets were destroyed from leaving the arena 

Gizmo 

Gizmo’s balance has looked much better after his nerfs in the 1.02 patch. We are hoping to address a few lingering issues with his arrow and car gameplay before we let the dust settle for a bit.  

  • Air/Ground Neutral Attack 
    • * Fixed an issue where Gizmo would get multiple jumps in air while charging an arrow 
    • ~ Adjusted jump height during arrow charge to better match his normal jump heights. 
  • Ground Up Attack 
    • – Popcorn charge no longer affects arrow explosion damage/knockback

    • – Car speed reduced to 2350 from 3000 
    • – Car health reduced to 5 hp from 8 hp 
    • – Car is now automatically destroyed if left idle for 6 seconds 
  • Air Side Special 
    • – On-whiff branch window delayed 8 frames 
  • 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.

    • * Fixed an issue where bat doll could be equipped while Harley had an available bat doll to detonate 
  • Air/Ground Down Special 
    • ~ Explosion now classified as a “projectile” hit, meaning it can proc projectile effects like the “That’s Flammable, Doc!” perk 

Iron Giant 

  • Passive 
    • ~ Allies can no longer enter the pilot turret while Iron Giant is in a grabbed state 
    • * Fixed an issue where Iron Giant could still use rage mode attacks while polymorphed

    • – On-whiff branch window delayed 6 frames 
  • Air/Ground Up Special 
    • ~ Attack now transitions to final hit after successfully damaging an enemy

    • * Fixed a bug that would allow this attack to hit 5 times on occasion instead of the intended max of 3 hits

    • * Fixed an issue where the bubble would get unnecessarily large after trapping certain projectiles

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 
    • * Fixed an issue where dodge attack momentum was not properly conserved on grounded attacks

    • – Bubble shield ammo cooldown increased to 13 seconds from 5 seconds

Velma 

These are the changes we were referring to after our Velma changes in the 1.02 patch. We hope to address some of the worst bugs impacting Velma players and also give her some strength in her zoning tools. 

  • General 
    • * Fixed an issue where Velma could get stuck to any fighter that grabbed Velma under certain conditions 
  • Passive 
    • * Fixed an issue where evidence would stop randomly spawning on the map after Velma was rung out. 
  • Ground Side Attack 1

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. 

  • Passive 
    • ~ Blocking a projectile will only charge Wonder Woman’s passive if the projectile has an active hitbox. This will fix issues where Wonder Woman could gain a full passive charge from projectiles like Jerry or Bugs’ Safe

  • Ground Down Attack 
    • – Additional damage from passive charge reduced
