Gizmo combos
Gizmo’s arrows deal next to no knockback in MultiVersus. While it makes them unviable as kill moves, it also makes them excellent combo starters. Gizmo can force his opponent into hitstun with an arrow, then leap in with a forward-air or up-air to continue the combo.
In addition, Gizmo’s aerial down-special is a solid combo starter. After bouncing off an enemy, he can launch them back downward with a down-air, then catch them on the way up with an up-air before finally chasing them with an up-special to try and kill.
Gizmo perks
| Perk | Effect |
| Bounce, Bounce, Boom! | Air down special can bounce off his popcorn and toy car to detonate instantly |
| Power Cuddle | When attached to an ally, your charge attacks charge faster. |
| Rhythm's Gonna Getcha | If you fully stack music on an enemy, they will dance. |
Considering he can spend a good chunk of the match literally attached to his teammate, it makes sense that Gizmo would benefit from the Defense perk Back To Back, which reduces damage by 6% when he’s near an ally.
Given his strong arrow projectiles, Gizmo also enjoys the Offense perk Make It Rain, Dog!, which makes his projectiles 20% faster.
Finally, Gizmo’s recommended Utility perk is Triple Jump. If stacked with an ally, it ensures he always has three midair jumps. Even if it’s not stacked, it grants him a third jump if he hits an opponent in the air, which Gizmo can easily do thanks to his long-range arrow projectiles.
