All Samurai Jack Moves
Slice And Dice With Precise Strikes
Every character inMultiversushas a variety of attacks based on what button you press and the direction you are holding when you press it.Every directional input affects the move that comes from an attacking button, giving you tons of options with Samurai Jack. As you learn how to perform different attacks, you’ll quickly realize thatsome depend on whether you are in the air or on the groundas you navigate a stage.
Samurai Jack’s moves come with several Passive Traits that you may use to gain an advantage while fighting your opponents.Mental Focusis Samurai Jack’s strongest Passive thatbuilds a Focus meteras he lands attacks and is knocked back by enemies. The properties of some moves change if Jack has full Focus, powering them up but resetting the Focus meter when used.
As you can see in the above video by YouTube creatorBen-Gun, the Focus meter can be seen right below Samurai Jack’s health, which can be hard to see at first as you start learning how to use the character.
Focus attacks also deal Weaken, a status effect that causes enemy characters to take more damage. You can use Samurai Jack’s other Passive,Calm Your Mind, to crouch and turn Focus into gray health for you and nearby allies rather than on an empowered special move. The final Passive,The Mark of a Samurai, causes Jack’s attacks to mark an enemy for an ally to convert his blows into Weaken during a 2v2 match.

Samurai Jack Combat Tips & Strategies
Build Focus And Counter Enemy Aggression
Samurai Jack is considered a character with the"Bruiser"archetype, making them a fighter designed to overwhelm enemies with brute force. Thischaracter class inMultiversusexcels at close range and typically likes to use melee combat to knock out their opponents. This should give you a good idea about Samurai Jack’s general fighting style before you even start practicing with him in Training mode.
Your goal with Samurai Jack should be tostay close to your opponent and deal damage to generate Focusas often as you can. The Neutral Special counter is a great way to keep your enemies guessing as you turn their aggressive tactics against them. Against other Bruisers, such asAgent Smith inMultiversus, Samurai Jack can quickly turn the tables with full Focus and his defensive skills.
Samurai Jack usually has an answer to enemy attacks, including counters to projectiles and ways to move around fast to close the distance on your opponents. Focus moves sometimes build gray health for Jack, allowing him to stay alive longer in prolonged fights. The more time you have to adapt to your enemies, the more chances you’ll have to build Focus and use empowered moves to knock out rival characters.
