MultiVersus Garnet: The Definitive Guide

Missions Displayed for Garnet in MultiVersusThe cost of purchasing Garnet through gold is 1500 in MultiVersus.

Founders Pack

Founder’s Packs contain character tickets or tokens, and the token or character ticket you receive from the pack will unlock their respective characters in MultiVersus. There are three types of Founder’s Packs in MultiVersus. The cheaper one you purchase, the fewer character tickets you get.

These packs are basically like mystery boxes, so there is no telling which one will contain Garnet, but purchasing the most expensive one will almost guarantee all characters of MultiVersus.

Founder’s Packs are purchased through real money.

Purchasing Through Gleamium

This is the simplest and fastest solution to unlocking Garnet. Making purchases through Gleamium neither involves the risk of Founder’s Packs nor the grind of farming gold. Gleamium is the in-game currency used by MultiVersus.

Garnet can be unlocked for 800 Gleamium in MultiVersus.

Garnet Perks In MultiVersus

In addition to skills and attacks, characters in MultiVersus can be equipped with perks that not only further enhance their abilities but also grant them new moves as well. Each character in MultiVersus can be equipped with three normal perks and 1 Signature perk. The perks for characters are unlocked the higher the mastery you have with that character.

The normal perks can be further enhanced through a mechanic called stacking. Stacking basically means assigning the same normal abilities to your allies. This will raise percentages of damage and other stats the perks come with. Normal Perks are further divided into three types: Offense, Defense, and Utility.

• Utility: These perks increase non-damaging attributes like movement speed.
• Offense: These perks increase your damage output.
• Defense: Defense perks raise your defense stat and help you stay alive longer.
• Signature: These are special abilities that are unique to every character. Depending on the character, you can pick from two or three signature perks.

Garnet can unlock the following perks in MultiVersus:

Percussive Punch Power

• Perk Type: Offense
• Unlocked At: Tier 2

With Percussive Power Punch equipped, your team will experience 5% increased damage with attacks that knock back enemies in the horizontal direction.

This perk is great for characters that have horizontal attacks, and luckily, Garnet has multiple of them. So assigning Percussive Power Punch to one of Garnet’s slots can make her horizontal attacks even deadlier.

When stacked, your damage increased to 10%.

… In A Single Bound!

• Perk Type: Utility
• Unlocked At: Tier 4

“…In a Single Bound” increases the jump speed for you and your teammates by 10%. At stacked, the stat is further boosted, and you get a 15% increase in jump speed. 

The Purest Of Motivations

• Perk Type: Utility
• Unlocked At: Tier 7

“The Purest of Motivations” will grant you a 15% damage boost for 10 seconds every time your ally is rung out.

When stacked, the time is increased to 15 seconds.

Electric Groove

• Perk Type: Signature
• Unlocked At: Tier 8

Casting forth electric debuff to your enemies with Garnet or with her allies grants her great stacks of sing buffs, also known as “Rhythm.” While you are at it, consider reading our guide on MultiVersus LeBron James.

Electric Groove is our recommended signature perk for Garnet. Not only this perk deals shock damage to your enemies, but you and your teammates are granted a great buff as well. Rhythm gives all of your teammates a speed boost and an armor boost. The added buff can pose a great threat to your opponents.

Marker

• Perk Type: Signature
• Unlocked at: Tier 10

The rocket gauntlets of Garnet will spawn her at their location when they are destroyed. If the marker is on a cooldown, it will not spawn.

Sturdy Dodger

• Perk Type: Defense
• Unlocked at: Tier 11

Sturdy Dodger grants armor for 1 second after you successfully neutral dodge a projectile. At stacked, your team receives armor for 3 seconds. Also, consider reading our guide on MultiVersus Reindog.

Speed Force Assist

• Perk Type: Utility
• Unlocked at: Tier 13

As the name suggests, ”Speed Force Assist” exhilarates the movement speed of your team by 4%. When stacked, the movement speed increases by 8%. It is also one of our recommended perks for Garnet because it works in harmony with Electric Shock. The added speed can be a game-changer for a bruiser like Garnet.

Static Electricity

• Perk Type: Offense
• Unlocked at: Tier 13

Static Electricity adds a shock buff to the projectiles of your team after they remain on the ground for 4 seconds. When stacked, the next projectile won’t charge without the grounded movement. This is another one of our recommended perks for Garnet because Electric Shock syncs really well with Static Electricity.

The damage from the shock will build up alongside what is offered in Electric Shock. Garnet is a bruiser and mostly remains on the ground, which makes Static Electricity one of the best perks you can put on her.

Equipping Ally Perks

After reaching Tier 6 with Garnet, you will gain the ability to equip your ally’s quirk. It can add a lot of depth to your combat, as well as double the amount of perks you can experiment with.

So don’t just limit yourself to the quirks you unlock with Garnet, and keep on experimenting with every perk you can put on her and make a dream version of Garnet for yourself.

Garnet Skins And Emotes

Garnet has two skins and three emotes in MultiVersus. Some of them are available right now, and some will be available at a later date. Speaking of things coming at a later date, why not read our guide on MultiVersus Rick and Morty too and learn about their release date?

First Fusion Garnet

First Fusion Garnet is based on Garnet’s first appearance when Ruby and Sapphire fused for the first time. The event of fusion happened in the 22nd episode of Steven Universe’s second season. 

The skin is available for purchase at 800 Gleamium.

Flashback

The skin “Flashback” is based on Garnet’s past incarnation, which can be seen in the 48th episode of Steven Universe called “Story of Steven”.

Flashback skin isn’t currently available, but it will be announced soon.

Hand Heart (Default Emote)

Hand Heart is a reference to episode 19 of Steven Universe titled “When it Rains”. In that episode, Garnet confesses her love for Steven and makes a hand heart before they use a warp pad to investigate a cluster.

Hand Heart is Garnet’s default emote.

Tiny Car (Emote 2)

Tiny Car emote is a reference to the 13th episode of Steven Universe named “So many Birthdays”. Garnet rides on top of Amethyst in his tiny car form to save Steven.

Tiny Car emote can be purchased for 500 Gleamium.

Dance (Emote 3)

The dance emote is a reference to Garnet’s dance she did at her wedding in the 23rd/24th episode of Steven Universe’s fifth season. This emote is currently unavailable, but its announcement is imminent.

I Pronounce You Garnet (Profile Icon)

This is a profile badge for Garnet in MultiVersus, which can be unlocked after reaching mastery level 14 with her. The icon is a reference to Garnet’s wedding dress in the 23rd/24th episode of Steven Universe’s fifth season.

Garnet Attacks And Abilities 

Garnet has Special and Normal attacks under her belt, which can be used for both attacking and supporting. The list of Garnet’s attacks and abilities is discussed below. 

Normal Attacks

Following are the Normal Attacks Garnet can use in MultiVersus.

Gauntlet Strike

Move: Neutral + Attack (Ground)

Hold down the buttons to charge and unleash a heavy forward punch at your opponents. The longer you charge, the farther she will go.

Starburst

Move: Neutral + Attack (Air)

Garnet will charge in mid-air and then shoot her limbs at enemies in star shapes.

Crystal Combo

Move: Side + Attack (Ground)

Crystal Combo allows you to unleash a barrage of punches where the final can either be uppercut, spinning multi punch, or forward slow armored punch, depending on where the final punch is directed.

Flying Combo

Move: Side + Attack (Air)

Garnet unleashes a barrage of strong forward punches at her opponents.

Double Jab

Move: Up + Attack (Ground)

Charge and deliver two upward jabs to your enemies. At full charge, Garnet will hit the enemies with an extra two-handed jab as well.

Jumping Jabber

Move: Up + Attack (Air)

While airborne, Garnet will hit her enemies with two quick jabs.

Shocking Slam

Move: Down + Attack (Ground)

Hold the buttons to charge and shoot a shockwave projectile at your enemies. Your opponents will also take shock debuff if they are hit with it.

Meteor Punch

Move: Down + Attack (Air)

Garnet will lunge downwards and charge a meteor punch. She will then slam into the ground and knock all nearby enemies upwards.

Special Attacks

Special Attacks are exceptionally strong attacks characters in MultiVersus can do. These attacks are devastating for your opponents if you manage to land them since they have a high potential to knock them out of the arena.

Stronger Than You

Move: Neutral+ Special (Ground or Air)

Holding down the buttons will allow you to create a force field in which Garnet can dance. This force field gives you and your allies music buffs depending on how long they remain in the force field.

There are several advantages to the force field. The first one is that the force field allows you to stop enemy projectiles and reflect them with attacks. The second one is that the musical buffs can increase your speed and give you an armor-breaking buff.

Rocket Fist

Move: Side+ Special (Ground or Air)

Rocket Fists is Garnet’s main projectile attack. As the name suggests, Garnet shoots rocket fists at her opponents, which can also be controlled using the joystick or directional keys.

This attack has a lengthy cooldown, and while it’s on a cooldown, if you do a Side+ Special with Garnet, she will hit enemies with a shoulder charge attack instead.

The functionality of Rocket Fists attack is the same in the air except for the length of her rockets, which is decreased.

Spark Of Love

Move: Up+ Special (Ground)

Sparks of Love is Garnet’s secondary projectile attack. This attack can be pointed in any direction, meaning you don’t have to fire it upwards only.

Upon collision of the projectile with the enemy, an electric field will be created that will damage not only the enemy projectile hit but also anyone who walks into this field.

Allies that walk into the field will gain an electric damage buff. While Sparks of Love is on a cooldown, Garnet will do an overhead clap attack instead if these keys are pressed.

Flying Crossarm

Move: Up+ Special (Air)

Flying Crossarm is an extraordinary upward-thrusting attack that lets her damage two different enemies at the same time. When you initiate this attack, Garnet jumps in the air, damaging anyone who is near her.

After that, she spreads out her arms, knocking anyone who comes into her hitbox away.

Gem Dash

Move: Down + Special (Ground or Air)

The way Gem Dash works is a little bit more complex than her usual attacks. Garnet throws a star that gets attached to the ground; upon pressing the commands for this attack again, Garnet dashes towards her star.

Garnet will grab any enemy that gets caught in her dash and throws them in the opposite direction. Similarly, if Garnet catches any ally, she will cancel their stunlock and restore their status, which makes Gem Dash an excellent move that can be used for both attacking and support purposes.

Best Combos For Garnet

Now that you are familiar with all of their Special and Normal attacks, Garnet, let’s discuss her combos. Obviously, just learning the inputs of attacks isn’t enough to win battles. You need to know how to chain different attacks and destroy your opponents.

Ground Attack And Side Special Combo

As we have mentioned above, Garnet specializes in horizontal attacks, and this combo makes use of it. The combo has excellent range and is really useful for throwing them in mid-air and chaining various attacks.

Ground Attack And Side Special Combo will deal around 20 damage to your enemies if performed correctly.

Input: Down + Attack -> Side + Attack -> Side + Special

Ground Attack And Down Special Combo

Ground Attack And Down Special Combo is an extension of the previous combo, which is not only much more complex but also very devastating as well. The combo is initiated by doing the Down Special first and then following it up with side combos, and then ending it with a Down Special again.

The total damage for this combo should be at least 30.

Input: Down + Special -> Down + Attack ->  Side + Attack -> Side + Special ->  Down + Special

Tips For Garnet In MultiVersus

Garnet is a bruiser-type character which means she mostly specializes in close-quarter melee combat. She has an excellent arsenal of Normal and Special attacks, which do explosive damage to her enemies. These attacks can be charged to increase the damage further.

That said, Garnet is not only limited to melee attacks. For a character who specializes in close-quarter combat, she has a fair share of projectile attacks to hit opponents that are at a moderate distance from her.

The only disadvantage of Garnet is her huge cooldowns for Special Attacks, which will force you to rely on standard attacks more often than not. So, only use your special abilities when you are sure you will land your hits.
