Steven Universe combos
The shields that Steven Universe leaves behind with his side-special and up-special are integral parts of his combo game in MultiVersus. He can bounce opponents off of these shields with his aerials in order to perform extended combos.
Otherwise, Steven’s down-air and aerial down-special are solid combo starters. Once he knocks opponents into the air, he can follow up with up-airs and up-specials.
In addition, by creating a platform with his up-special, Steven can refresh his aerial options, allowing him to more aggressively chase opponents and kill them vertically with a powerful up-special.
Steven Universe perks
| Perk | Effect |
| Bounce Bubble | Hitstuns are extended and the velocity of getting knocked into a wall or shield increases. |
| Green Thumb | Watermelon Steven gets larger and does more damage the longer he survives. |
Steven benefits from the Defence perk Slippery Customer, which improves his dodge invulnerability window, and the Utility perk Triple Jump, which gives him an extra mid-air jump after he hits an opponent.
In addition, the Offence perk Collateral Damage functions well with Steven’s kit, since it deals one extra damage to enemies who collide with a wall or floor. As a result, this perk increases Steven’s damage output when he intentionally hits enemies into his shields.
