If you thought MultiVersus would stick to the more colorful Warner Bros. characters, you’d be wrong. Instead, expect plenty of classic villains like The Joker and Jason Voorhees. Can’t you just hear that iconic whisper? Don’t let the cartoon style fool you. This Jason is a straight Tank who lands devastating hits. So, if you want to play Jason in MultiVersus, you should learn how to utilize his best moves and perks to build up game-ending combos.
Best Jason Perks in MultiVersus
As a Tank, you want Jason to consistently hit hard without hindering things like speed. So, the best perks for Jason in MultiVersus rely on getting him close, piling on the pressure, and further increasing his damage output:
| Perk | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Monstrous Sidestep | It helps Jason get closer to opponents, leaving them little breathing room. |
| Pugilist | Increases the damage output of melee attacks, and as Jason mainly deals in melee, the perk is always helpful. |
| Speed Force Assist | Grants Jason a 5% increase in base movement speed. It’s the perfect perk for helping us close the distance even more. |
| 2 Fast 2 Block | The perk focuses on damaging armor. This way, Jason can tear through any opponent. |
Best Moves For Jason
Jason features several bruising moves in MultiVersus, but he’s remarkably slow. That’s why the perks we explained will help make up for that shortcoming. But as his neutral move, Axe Slam, is the slowest of slow, remember to focus on his other moves to build up combos.
Some of our favorite moves for MultiVersus Jason are featured in the table below:
| Move | How to Use It | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Fear the 13th (Ground) | Side + Attack | A 3-Hit Combo move, and once it’s done, Jason grabs and tosses the opponent. Try to save this move when at the edge to launch people. |
| Unstoppable Rage (Ground) | Neutral + Special | Trades self-inflicted damage for Gray Health, which also rewards any allies with Gray Health. His next attack is faster and more powerful. |
| Mist Step (Ground) | Side + Special | Forms a mist that can teleport Jason. Any opponent nearby is knocked back. It’s perfect to close the gap fast with anyone trying to stay away. |
| No Escape (Ground) | Up + Special | The fastest move Jason has, he slashes opponents with his hatchet, catching them to slam them down. It ensures you can stop those faster opponents who like to charge head-first. |
| Sweet Dreams (Ground) | Down + Special | Jason traps an opponent in a sleeping bag, and they can slam them or even hurl them. |
| Cut Them Down (Aerial) | Side + Attack | Knocks an opponent back with a wide machete swing. This move is more recommended as a combo finisher. |
| 6 Feet Under or Go to Hell (Aerial) | Down + Attack | A downward punch that launches an opponent. If Cut Them Down is a reliable finisher, this move works as a great opener. |
| The Slasher (Aerial) | Neutral + Special | Here we have another great combo finisher as it grabs an opponent and lands two devastating hits along with a throw. |
| Risen Strike (Aerial) | Up + Special | And yet another finisher, the move strikes upward at enemies above you. If they’re weak enough, you can quickly send them soaring off the map. |
Tips and Combos For Jason in MultiVersus
This may seem like a broken record by now, but Jason. Is. Slow. So, you want to counteract it by focusing on the right perks and moves to gain some ground. In fact, the best way to use Jason in MultiVersus is to embody everything about the masked killer. In the films, he never relents. Just like you never need to give the opponents room to regroup.
Remembering Mist Step is vital as you can use it to kick off a combo for an opponent that’s too far away. For instance, Mist Step + No Escape can have devastating consequences for anyone caught in the crosshairs. Mist Step also pairs well with Sweet Dreams and The Slasher. Or even Mist Step + Fear the 13th if you can get someone off the map. If you don’t think you can get them off the sides, round out Fear the 13th with an up attack like Risen Strike to send them soaring upwards instead.
Remember that despite how vibrant the MultiVersus Jason appears, he’s just as brutal as before. As long as you embrace your inner slasher villain, you should shine with him.
MultiVersus is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
