Our MultiVersus tier list ranks every character in the game based on how strong they are. We've rated the best characters for both Singles and Doubles. Trust us, some MultiVersus characters are pitifully weak compared to others, so read carefully.
MultiVersus has lots of characters, that's the main selling point of the game, but they aren't as equally powerful as one another. Far from it, in fact. Of course, the devs are always working on balancing the roster; they don't want any of their characters to be broken, and they don't want any of the MultiVersus characters to be so weak nobody plays them. But no devs in any game have ever created perfect balance, so you can give yourself a huge advantage if you pick the strongest character.
Some characters excel in singles, while others are better at doubles, so we've provided you with tier lists for both sets. We'll start by looking at the best MulitVersus characters for 2v2, which is the more popular mode. You can find our 1v1 tier ranking further down.
We recently got two big patches for MultiVersus season 1, which changed almost all characters in some way. And we also got Morty as the first new playable character since launch. That means that there was quite a bit of a shake-up in our character rankings.
MultiVersus Tier List: The Best Characters For 2v2 Doubles
S-Tier Characters For 2v2
These characters absolutely slap. Even if you're playing with a buddy who wants to play as someone that's trash, the following MultiVersus characters are so strong in the 2v2 format that you should still be at an advantage.
- Batman: The dark knight has become even stronger in the newest patches. You will want to have him in basically every round.
- Harley: Really nasty, especially since the patches. She is our favorite assassin in the game, with deadly speed and a dangerous damage output.
- Bugs Bunny: An incredible character in every mode, especially in the current meta. What makes him great for doubles is that he can be paired with almost anybody. His ability to combo, chase and recover is second to none.
MultiVersus Crossplay: How To Play Cross-Platform
A-Tier Characters For 2v2
Here are the generally very good characters, nobody on this list has a fatal flaw or some easy way they can be beaten. Although, they aren't quite S-Tier because they aren't "broken" so to speak.
- Jake: Maybe a slight bias but I just love Jake. He is easily one of the best in 1v1 and while there are better support characters, his strengths make him a great pick in 2v2 as well.
- Shaggy: This character is easy-to-use and good all around, with really no weaknesses. His moveset is great allaround and if mastered can be useful in any situation.
- Tom & Jerry: Still fantastic all around. The duo is very strong and a good pick for nearly any kind of player.
- Superman: He couples the survivability of a tank with the damage spikes of a bruiser. But, and this is a big but, he lacks synergies with other characters, which is why didn't quite make it to S-Tier.
B-Tier Characters For 2v2
Everyone in this tier is still a solid MultiVersus character. They don't really shine like anyone above them, but if you have a couple of B-tier characters together, you should still be able to win your fights with good coordination.
- Arya: She doesn't have much synergy with other characters, but especially after the recent buffs she's just too good not too pick. If you like the Assassin characters, we recommend her.
- LeBron: Not the best singles character, but he's a strong pick in doubles with a kit that's clearly focused on teamplay.
- Finn: Our sweet boy Finn has been nerfed quite badly. He's still a good pick, but he dropped a bit in our estimation.
- Wonder Woman: Very similar to Superman, but slightly weaker in every regard. Still good enough to be in B-Tier though.
C-Tier Characters For 2v2
These characters are just on the precipice of being "bad picks". They're either too difficult to master, or too underwhelming to be any higher, but they can still beat the real trash characters.
- Morty: We're super excited for Morty but he is just... weird. Maybe it will take some time to figure him out before we can appreciate him.
- Garnet: She hits like a truck but she is just super slow. This is particularly bad in 2v2 where two enemies can hit on her.
- Taz: The tasmanian devil was already buffed, but he just still isn't good enough. Another round of buffs will come soon, and he despereately needs it.
D-Tier Characters For 2v2
At this point, you need to start thinking of using other characters. You might love the lore, but anyone in D-Tier is at a noticeable disadvantage against the bulk of the roster.
- Velma: She was one of the main picks after release but she has been nerfed to death since. Just stay away from her until she gets buffed again
- Reindog: Reindog can help teammates out constantly, but he just can't scrap very well, and ends up taking a ton of damage.
- Iron Giant: We didn't like the Iron Giant before and now he has been heavily nerfed. Ouch.
F-Tier Characters For 2v2
What are you doing? Turn back! Here are the certified trash characters, the ones no-one can justify using until they get a full rework from the devs.
- Steven Universe: I hate Steven Universe. I'm probably biased, and maybe the meta will develop, but right now, I'm yet to see an impressive Steven Universe.
These tier lists will keep changing, especially with these amazing additions to the roster coming soon:
MultiVersus Tier List: The Best Characters For 1v1 Singles
S-Tier Characters For 1v1
These are the best 1v1 characters in the game right now, and you should expect all pros to be using one of these. Many of the characters in this tier will be nerfed soon, but you should be playing them until that happens.
- Bugs, Batman & Harley: Honestly, nothing to add here for us that we haven't seaid in the part about 2v2. These are just the meta characters right now in our opinion and we think we will see a lot of them in MultiVersus right now.
A-Tier Characters For 1v1
These characters are very good, and have the self-sufficiency you need for singles, but they aren't game-breaking. Learning one of these characters could be a good long-term strategy because they're probably not going to get nerfed too soon.
- Tom & Jerry: Surely a nerf is coming for Bugs Bunny? He has an insane up-air attack, and he can keep so much chaos on the battlefield, you're able to simply overwhelm the opponent. He falls off ever so slightly from doubles, but is still nuts in singles.
- Shaggy: This is probably the best character for people who don't know what they want to play. He does everything quite well and is very easy to use, he just lacks the real power potential to get into the higher tiers.
- Jake The Dog: Perhaps some personal bias coming here... But I've fought some incredible Jake players in singles, he has a really good constant-harrassment kit for singles.
- Superman: He has great movement, and can be all over the place, plus, he's got great utility. But he doesn't have much outside of big power moves, so he can get baited and punished a little too hard to be higher on the list.
B-Tier Characters For 1v1
These are all decent but not great characters for singles. If you like them or just enjoy their skillset, then you should go ahead and use them, but don't expect the fights to be easy. Matches will be far from unwinnable, but it's definitely going to be harder for you against A and S-tier characters.
- Finn: He is still pretty strong, but got nerfed significantly and fell down a bit in our ranking.
- Wonder Woman: She shines in doubles, but Wonder Woman is also a good pick for 1v1.
- Arya Stark: Arya is very difficult to use, but if you can learn how to play her, then she's a really solid pick for singles. The difficulty for power output tradeoff just isn't generous enough to justify making her A-Tier or higher, though.
- Garnet: Very strong knock-back which helps her in singles, but too much of her kit is wasted in singles to promote her above B-Tier.
- LeBron: Hard to use, and not self-sufficient enough for solos to be one of the best characters. But when you learn to use the ball, you can become incredibly annoying for a single character to fight against.
C-Tier Characters For 1v1
This is where you'll find the worst characters that are still just about viable. These are the characters that clearly need a buff, but perhaps not a full rework.
- Morty: Similar to our earlier explanation: he's just a weird little dude. Let's see if he can rise through the ranks in the future.
- Garnet: She is not bad at all, we're just not big fans of her. But: buffs are coming in the next patch, so she might go up soon.
- Taz: This one is very easy to explain. Taz had Tornado on launch and it was broken. Then the devs nerfed it into the ground. But he's still not in the very bottom tiers because the rest of his kit is competitive.
D-Tier Characters For 1v1
Now we're at the point in the tier list where we would actively encourage you not to use these characters. They aren't at the very bottom because they all have something to work with, but you aren't going to be getting many wins with these guys.
- The Iron Giant: Similar to our ranking of the Giant for doubles, we could see him become amazing, but right now, it feels like no one is playing him in a way that's really very effective.
- Reindog: Has some okay-ish combo potential, but just doesn't shine enough in any department to be worth more than the D-Tier. But this is an original character to the game, so maybe developer love will creep in, and we'll see him get a buff soon?
- Velma: Velma was evidently not built for solos, she doesn't have enough utility or finishing ability to be self-sufficient.
F-Tier Characters For 1v1
Yuck! Any character in this section of the tier-list is basically unplayable in singles. They might be dope at doubles, but just avoid them for 1v1. Unless, of course, you like losing.
- Steven Universe: He's a support character that was clearly built only with 2v2 in mind. There's literally no reason to use him in a singles match unless you're intentionally trying to handicap yourself.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the best characters in MultiVersus for singles and doubles. Well, in our opinion at least. Of course, you guys are bound to have a few characters higher or lower on your own lists, but we think this is generally correct. But do let us know if you think we're sleeping on someone overpowered, or if we're giving a character too much gas. We wouldn't want you to think we were basing this just on looks...
