MultiVersusis a crossover platform fighter featuring characters and settings that span a wide range of Warner Bros.-owned IP, fromGame of ThronestoJustice League. Although the characters themselves are massively important to any matchup, the arena they fight on is just as essential to master. Most arenas inMultiVersuscontain specific hazards or quirks that are important to learn before jumping in.
There are ten total stages inMultiVersuswhere players can compete inlocal or online multiplayer. Whenever jumping into either the 1v1 or 2v2 game mode, this stage is randomly selected. In the PvE Rift game mode, you’re able to predict the stage based on the opponent, but it is still best to familiarize yourself with all potential stages and platforms. All maps have specific hazards that can ultimately be just as dangerous as any player ability.

All branches can be destroyed with three strikes and will only respawn in between rounds.

The Batcave is a straightforward arena with minial hazards.
The Batcave is Batman’s home base, and one of various maps with no change between the 1v1 and 2v2 game modes.
