Gizmo Best Combos and Moves

Jab Combo to Aerial Side

Side + Attack x2 ► Down + Attack ► Aerial Side + Special
This combo inflicts horizontal damage that uses the first two hits of Gizmo's jab combo and ends with Umbrella Bash. This combo allows you to get a quick music stack and also knock your opponent up the air.

2-Move Aerial Combo

Aerial Down + Attack ► Aerial Up + Attack
While this combo can be tricky to hit especially against more nimble opponents, its a great 2-move combo that can send opponents flying. This also works well as a finisher when attacking enemies with high damage.

How to Play Gizmo

Get Music Stacks

MultiVersus - Get Music Stacks

Gizmo's passive causes some of his moves to apply a music buff and if an enemy has the max stacks of 5, they will get silenced. This debuff can be massive in fights especially against characters that have longer cooldowns.

Additionally, if you equip the Rhythm's Gonna Getcha perk, max stacks will cause an enemy to dance. This provides a window where you can inflict damage on the affected opponent without getting punished.

Leave Items in Playing Area

MultiVersus - Leave Items in Playing Area

Gizmo's Pop Pop Pop! leaves behind a popcorn projectile which can be triggered with his Neutral attack. You can also charge your Neutral attack to inflict fire damage to enemies. Beep Beep! lets Gizmo drive around in a car and ram enemies. This provides burst damage in either direction and can also be used by allies.
