A complete guide to Tom and Jerry in MultiVersus

Fariha Bhatti Published 02/08/2022

Most MultiVersus characters fight solo, but Tom & Jerry are a package deal. The slapstick comedy duo is the trickiest character to play in Warner Bros. crossover brawler.

Tom & Jerry are rarely seen teaming up for a common goal, but whenever they join forces, it spells chaos. The cat and rat enter the wacky multiverse as a pair, ready to take on the likes of Batman, LeBron James, Superman, and more. While some may expect these cartoons to be easy to operate compared to the superheroes, Tom & Jerry are actually the toughest to handle.

Tom and Jerry’s playstyle in MultiVersus

Tom and Jerry are slotted in the Mage class of MultiVersus, meaning their move set shines the most in long-range duels. Tom can toss abilities and deal damage from afar using a racket, a mousetrap, and even Jerry tied to a rocket.

The duo has a range of primary ground and air attacks, which can make their kit feel confusing. But mastering their moves can bring a high win rate as they employ tricks and schemes to toss enemies out of the ring instead of straightforward punches. Besides being a viable Mage, the duo provides ample support to a teammate. Tom’s Jerry Projectile offers a unique “cheese” buff which makes teammates’ attacks do more damage.

The trick to nailing down move set is to stay back and use Jerry as ammo. Instead of running into the enemies, players must maintain a distance and lay down traps for them. Tom’s racquet is a handy ability which helps the pair make moves from afar. The melee attack can deal heavy damage and is also capable of reflecting enemy projectiles.

Tom and Jerry’s full moveset in MultiVersus

Here are all the abilities of Tom and Jerry in MultiVersus, divided in ground and air attacks:

Ground	Air
Volley (attack) Tom charges a swing with a tennis racket that can reflect projectiles.	Same as ground
Mallet time A combo of swings with a large mallet.	Scratch cat (attack) Two fast swipes forward.
Paddle-Paddle-Paddle Charge an attack where Tom uses a paddle ball above his head. The longer you charge, the more bounces the paddle ball makes.	Trash Band Tom slams two trash can lids above his head. The hit is strongest where the lids collide.
Slingshot Sharpshooter (special) Tom aims and fires Jerry as a projectile. Tennis balls gain power if reflected by Tom’s tennis racket again. Tom can fire multiple tennis balls until out of ammo.	Same as ground
Goin’ Fishing Tom will cast forward with a fishing pole. The lure hits enemies when reeled in.	Same as ground
Rocket Mouse Tom straps Jerry to a rocket projectile. The rocket can be steered. If Jerry isn’t with Tom, then Tom launches a rocket that locks onto Jerry.	Same as ground
Snap Trap Tom will place a mouse trap projectile on the ground.	Look out below Tom drops a stick of dynamite projectile that will explode on its second bounce or if it hits an enemy. The dynamite gains power if reflected by Tom’s tennis racket. Tom can drop multiple sticks until out of ammo.
Feline Pounce Charge a pounce attack forward that breaks armor. Charging increases the distance of the pounce.	Cast-iron Crusher Tom swings his frying pan downward.

How to unlock Tom and Jerry in MultiVersus?

Characters in MultiVersus can be unlocked quickly by feeding the game 3,000 Gold. However, players can still unlock the chaotic duo by playing the game for free.

Gold is the only way to unlock special characters in MultiVersus. But 3,000 Gold, which translates to roughly 700 Gleamium, can take a lot of time to earn. Fortunately, players can still play Tom and Jerry by collecting Gold through introductory missions. Another way is to grind competitive matches, as custom games don’t reward Gold. Winning a match warrants bonus points, so players may want to practice their moves before starting a game.

Best 2v2 teammate for Tom and Jerry in MultiVersus

The duo can seem impossible beat when paired with a Tank like Iron Giant or Wonder Woman. Their long-range attacks will tenderize enemies, helping a Tank toss them out of the map with stronger spells. A Bruiser may also fulfill the same purpose, helping Tom and Jerry come closer to victory.
