Jake the Dog is a hard hitter in MultiVersus, allowing you to break open armour with many of his specials and combos, but he's a difficult character to master and effectively use in matches.
Jake moves list
| Attack | Ground Effect | Air Effect |
| Standard Attack | Eat Spikes! - Charge a spike ball hit that breaks armour. | Belly Bump - Expand your belly, knocking enemies away. Ends with a spin that breaks armour. |

Jake specials list

Jake combos
While Jake’s combo game is somewhat lacking in MultiVersus, he is still capable of stringing multiple hits together. By transitioning from his grounded side combo into an up-normal finisher, he can launch his opponent into the air and try to follow up with a neutral-air or up-air.
Additionally, hitting a down-air on stage will pop Jake’s opponent into the air. Depending on their percent, he could then follow up with a quick aerial like a neutral-air, or charge a forward-air to catch an opponent who has been launched higher into the sky.
Jake perks
| Perk | Effect |
| Stay Limber, Dude | House ability bounces back into the air after hitting the ground. |
| Sticky | Enemies that touch Jake when he's stretched are stunned. |
The best Utility perk for Jake is Leg Day Champ. This perk provides him with a 10% boost to his jump height, which aids his aerial mobility.
Meanwhile, the Offence perk Lumpy Space Punch grants him a 5% damage boost to his aerial attacks. This is particularly helpful considering how integral Jake’s forward-air is to his play style.
Finally, Jake’s recommended Defence perk is Toon Elasticity. This perk causes him to bounce off of the ground, walls, and ceilings with 20% less velocity. With this perk, Jake will be less prone to follow-up combos after bouncing off of a surface, and will also be able to survive longer on stages like Scooby’s Haunted Mansion.
