Jason Moveset and Abilities

Ground Attacks

Command Move Description How to Use
Neutral
(Neutral + Attack)
Axe Slam - MultiVersus
Axe Slam
Effect: Charge
Charge an axe attack while slowly moving forward.
A slow overhead slash that can deal massive damage. Use this to catch enemies from above or in front of you.
Side
(Side (Hold) + Attack)
Freight Train - MultiVersus
Freight Train
Jason runs forward, shoulder tackling anyone in his way. Use this to charge at enemies who are keeping their distance from you. It won't be as fast as the Mist Step, but it can deal some chip damage if you manage to land the tackle.
Side
(Side + Attack)
Fear the 13th - MultiVersus
Fear the 13th
A 3-hit Combo that ends with a Grab and tosses the opponent away. A powerful 2-hit slash followed by a throw that can push enemies off the edge. You can spam this move when edge-guarding to prevent enemies from recovering.
Up
(Up + Attack)
Crunch Time - MultiVersus
Crunch Time
Effect: Charge
Charge a gruesome attack that mimics the fatal folding of a bed, launching your enemy skyward with a force that breaks both body and spirit.
Use this to finish off enemies that are trying to recover. Although this move is extremely slow, it can be useful in certain situations to knock out enemies.
Down
(Down + Attack)
Zombie Stomp or Z Stomp? - MultiVersus
Zombie Stomp or Z Stomp?
Effect: Charge
Channel the Charge of the undead into a ground-shaking stomp that propels enemies skyward.
Use this move as a launcher for your horizontal combos. Similar to the Axe Slam, it can also catch enemies from above and in front of you.
Neutral
(Neutral + Special)
Unstoppable Rage - MultiVersus
Unstoppable Rage
Jason channels his rage, trading self-inflicted damage for Gray Health. Allies also receive a small amount of Gray Health. While enraged, he is faster and his next attack deals more Damage and Knockback. This condition ends when his Gray Health is depleted or when he uses an attack. You can use this to buff yourself, making your next attack more powerful and giving you additional movement speed to catch up to enemies.
Side
(Side + Special)
Mist Step - MultiVersus
Mist Step
Jason steps into the mist and teleports forward. Any opponent near Jason as he behins his Mist Step will be struck back with great force. Use this as your main gap closer when enemies are trying to keep their distance. It allows you to instantly get close while being invulnerable to attacks.
Up
(Up + Special)
No Escape - MultiVersus
No Escape
An upward hatchet swipe that catches its victim and then slams them into the ground. No Escape is your fastest move, allowing you to catch enemies that are rushing towards you or enemies that are trying to get away. It can be used both offensively and defensively due to its speed.
Down
(Down + Special)
Sweet Dreams - MultiVersus
Sweet Dreams
Effect: Projectile
Jason stuffs his victim into a sleeping bag, functioning as a Grab. He can walk and input an attack to slam them into the ground or other enemies. Inputting a special will throw the bag as a Projectile with the victim trapped inside.
Sweet Dreams is your grab ability that allows you to trap enemies and carry them towards the edge. Make sure to throw the enemy away or slam them into the ground before they can break free.

Aerial Attacks

Command Move Description How to Use
Neutral
(Neutral + Attack)
Axe Slam - MultiVersus
Scoop and Slice
A sweeping hatchet swing that arcs through the air with deadly precision. Use this launching attack to force enemies away from you. In one-on-one situations, it's not ideal to use this move as it pushes the enemy away. However, if you're playing with a team, you can use it to push enemies toward your allies.
Side
(Side + Attack)
Fear the 13th - MultiVersus
Cut Them Down
A wide-reaching machete swing from the air which knocks back the opponent with great force. You can use this slashing attack to finish off your combo. While it may seem underwhelming, it deals massive damage if you manage to land it.
Up
(Up + Attack)
Crunch Time - MultiVersus
From Below
Two swift, upward strikes of his machete. This aerial assault is a deadly dance of blades that spells doom for those caught unaware. Use this upward stab attack to launch enemies from below when they are standing on a platform above you.
Down
(Down + Attack)
Zombie Stomp or Z Stomp? - MultiVersus
6 Feet Under or Go to Hell
Plunge downward with a fist, executing a powerful air swing that spikes opponents to their doom. A powerful downward punch that allows you to juggle enemies. Use this as an opener to perform mid-air combos.
Neutral

Unstoppable Rage - MultiVersus
The Slasher
Jason grabs his opponent before stabbing them twice, then slashing. You can use this to grab enemies mid-air, allowing you to finish them off with a powerful throw.
Side
(Side + Special)
Mist Step - MultiVersus
Air Mist Step
Jason steps into the mist and teleports forward. He can slightly angle his teleport upwards or downwards. Similar to the ground version of Mist Step, you can use this to close the gap on enemies.
Up
(Up + Special)
No Escape - MultiVersus
Risen Strike
A rising cleaver strke that knocks the opponent upwards. Use this as a finisher on enemies above you to send them flying out of bounds.
Down
(Down + Special)
Sweet Dreams - MultiVersus
Down and Out
Jason slashes his cleaver down and forward. If he lands while using this attack, he does an additional slash. This move is an excellent opener for your horizontal combos as it can deal a ton of damage while keeping enemies in front of you.

Passive Abilities

Passive Effect
Relentless Jason cannot take knockback while he has Gray Health.

Jason Best Perks

Signature Perks

Perk and Rating Description Explanation
★★★★★
Monstrous Sidestep
Jason will move behind the nearest enemy in front of him when performing his side special. One of the best perks for Jason, helping him get close to the nearest enemy. This allows you to constantly pressure the enemy and avoid long-range fights.
★★☆☆☆
Resurrectionist
The first time Jason or his ally are about to be Rung Out, they will instead get pulled back toward the center of the Map. They will then have a brief window to keep fighting before automatically being Rung Out. This is a decent perk to have, but it requires you or your ally to be rung out before it gains value. Additionally, as soon as you are revived by this perk, the enemy will just kite you until the time runs out.
★☆☆☆☆
Well Rounded
You receive a 5% boost to damage dealt and defense. Well Rounded is your basic signature perk, available by default. You can use this until you unlock better perks for Jason.

Universal Perks

Team Perk

Perk and Rating Description Explanation
★★★★★
Press the Advantage
Your team applies a stack of weakened when knocking back enemies that are above 125 damage.
If your teammate also selects this perk, weakened is applied above 110 damage instead.
This allows you to constantly push and pressure enemies until you are able to knock them out after dealing 125 damage.

Strong Perk

Perk and Rating Description Explanation
★★★★☆
2 Fast 2 Block
Your dash attacks break armor. Because of the fast-paced gameplay, having an additional Break Armor can be useful to add versatility while playing aggressively.
★★★★☆
Airwalker
Inputing a neutral dodge in the air will spawn a platform below you. This platform consumes half of your dodge meter and overrides parry. Due to Jason's weight, it can be difficult to recover without this perk after being knocked off the platform.

Standard Perk

Perk and Rating Description Explanation
★★★★★
Pugilist
Your melee attacks deal increased damage. Since all of your attacks are melee, all of your moves can benefit from this perk.
★★★☆☆
Second Wind Beneath Your Wings
You refresh all air abilities after ringing out an enemy. This perk allows you to play aggressively, knocking opponents out of the platform, and safely recovering using the refresh.

Jason Best Combos and Moves

Vertical Combo (Easy Combo)

Aerial Down + Attack ► Up + Special ► Up + Attack
A vertical combo that you can use to build up damage. With this combo, you can burst enemies, dealing up to 35 damage and launching them upward for a possible knockout. If you manage to deal enough damage, the Up + Special alone can send the enemy flying off-screen without any follow-ups.

Horizontal Combo to Grab

Down + Attack ► Side + Attack ► Down + Special ► Attack ► Special
This horizontal combo allows you to grab the enemy and launch them in the direction you want. It also deals massive damage, which can be further improved by selecting the Pugilist perk since Jason's attacks are all melee. Do note that after grabbing the enemy with Sweet Dreams, you can throw them into the wall to deal additional damage.

How to Play Jason

Play Aggressively and Pressure Your Enemy

As a Tank, Jason can be quite difficult to knock out. Classes like Tanks and Bruisers might struggle to knock you out even at high percentages. You can use this to your advantage to play aggressively and constantly pressure your enemy, forcing them to make mistakes.

Keep Enemies Close

Jason How to Play

Most of your attacks are powerful swings that can deal massive damage and cover a large area, but they can be difficult to land due to their short range. Keep pressing forward to keep enemies on their toes and look for opportunities to deal damage with your powerful attacks.
