LeBron James combos

LeBron James’ neutral-special is a great combo starter in MultiVersus. After throwing his basketball, he can leap toward his opponent to regain the ball, then follow up with a neutral-air or forward-air. Afterwards, he can try to continue with another aerial or a grounded side-normal combo.

In addition, the basketball versions of both up-air and up-special are solid kill moves off the top of the screen. As a result, LeBron can try to get his opponents in the air with down-air or grounded up-normal, then juggle them with up-airs.

LeBron James perks

LeBron's perks in MultiVersus.

Perk Effect
For Three! LeBron and allies that hit enemies with a basketball will cause the ball to explode.
Hot Hands If you complete a no-look pass to an ally, the basketball is ignited. Dunking an ignited ball damages all enemies.
Keep Possession When LeBron or an ally receives a pass, they gain grey health.

As far as general perks go, LeBron thrives with Utility perks. I Dodge You Dodge We Dodge gives him a 10% cooldown refund whenever he dodges an attack.

This helps to ensure that he never has to go long without a basketball. Once he learns how to train perks  LeBron James could replace this perk with Coffeezilla.

Meanwhile, the Gravity Manipulation perk increases his fall speed by 10%, helping him return to the stage quicker after he’s launched in the air. Finally, the Offence perk Make It Rain, Dog! grants a 20% speed buff to his projectiles, making his basketball throws even quicker.
