Best Starter Character

MultiVersus' ever-growing roster of characters means it's often a struggle picking a character to start with. Read on to learn who is the best starter character to pick in online matches.

Best Starter Character

Wonder Woman is a Balanced Character

Wonder Woman's mix of offense and defensive skills make her one of the best starting characters in the game.

Although classified as a tank, she is surprisingly mobile and has strong but easy-to-learn combos similar to Bruiser-type characters like Garnet and Shaggy.

Lasso of Truth is a Fast Gap Closer

Unlike other Tanks, Wonder Woman can quickly close the distance between her and opponents with neutral special attack Lasso of Truth. This lets her grab and drag opponents and bring them within range of her attacks.

The lasso is also useful for grabbing allies and preventing them from ringing out.

Her Shield Blocks Projectiles

Wonder Woman's Warrior Charge and Flying Warrior side and up special move respectively blocks all projectiles, giving her great matchup against characters that rely on projectiles for most of their combos such as LeBron and Arya Stark.

Gives Defense Buffs to Allies

Wonder Woman can also boost her allies' defenses with her down special Defense of the Gods. Not only does this give her and her allies a shield, it also removes existing debuffs.

Other Great Starter Characters

Although Wonder Woman is easily the most approachable character for beginners, there are many other characters that are great picks depending on your playstyle.

Garnet is a Bruiser with Utility

Garnet's fast combos and long-range attacks make her a formidable bruiser, but she's also great at supporting teammates thanks to her Neutral Special Stronger Than You

This move freezes projectiles in place and reflects them when attacked by Garnet or her allies. This unique support move makes her a great choice to use against opposing teams that rely on projectile moves.

Arya's is a Sneaky Assassin

Arya Stark's passive grants her increased damage whenever she hits an opponent in the back making her a great choice for players looking to deal as much damage as possible with a character.

Arya's Neutral Special Face Stealer can also stun enemies caught in the shockwave giving her some offensive utility in team matches, particulary in 1 vs 1 stages.

Reindog is a Tanky Support Character

Reindog's special moves are built to support teammates, making it the best choice for players who want to focus on pure support in multiplayer matches.

Love Leash, his Neutral Special, is particularly useful for grabbing allies and saving them from ringing out of the stage.

Iron Giant is an Offensive Tank

The Iron Giant's large size makes it a big target, but many of its moves are centered around giving it and its allies additional defense.

Its Neutral Special Bolt Friends., in particular, grants it and its allies Gray Health which is further boosted by its passive Thorn Buff which makes the shield deal passive damage when hit by an opponent.

Bugs Bunny is a Fast Mage

Bugs Bunny's Dynamite, Doc? passive lets him spawn a projectile that he and his allies can use, which already separates him from fellow mage Tom and Jerry.

What makes Bugs the better choice though is his Down Special Bunny Burrow which gives him immunity to damage allows him and his allies to teleport across the stage. This makes him great at repositioning his many ranged attacks.
