Today marks the second major patch for Season 1 of MultiVersus! Update 1.01 is much smaller than the previous, but it brings some welcome balance adjustments, and the release of a new character, the highly anticipated Morty Smith. The MultiVersusTwitterconfirms the game will be down for maintenance for about an hour, from 9AM to 10AM PT (12PM to 1PM ET), after which, the update will be live.
Not much is known about Morty’s gameplay, but game director Tony Huynh tweeted some interesting details, stating he’s as much of a Mage as he is a Bruiser, and that he’s “scared” of what players will find with this character. Morty is just one of the various characters already confirmed to be coming this season, such as Rick Sanchez, Black Adam, and Stripe (Gremlins). No release date information has been officially relayed regarding these other characters.
When it comes to the patch itself, the most notable changes include the significant decrease of the Assassin Passive, where the extra damage taken by Assassin characters was more than halved. Furthermore, after getting big nerfs in the last patch, Iron Giant was nerfed yet again, the notes claiming he has abnormally high win rates at every skill level.

Iron GiantIron giant is currently dominating with abnormally high win rates at every skill level. Iron Giantâs Neutral Special with stacked cooldown reduction and Velma are causing too few windows for opponents to counterplay. Updates to Iron Giant, global updates to perks, and Velma updates should help provide more windows of opportunity for opponents against Iron Giant.
