The Ultimate Guide to the Best Perks for Taz in MultiVersus

My friend, if you want to cause maximum chaos with Taz in MultiVersus, you need the right perk loadout. As someone who has put countless hours into playing and mastering the Tasmanian Devil, I‘m here to share everything I‘ve learned about making Taz an unstoppable force.

In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll break down Taz‘s abilities, analyze the best perks for different playstyles, review all perk options, and provide essential gameplay tips. Follow along and you‘ll have the knowledge to spin your way to victory!

An In-Depth Look at Taz‘s Abilities

Before jumping into perks, let‘s first take a close look at Taz‘s core moveset so you understand his playstyle and strengths:

  • Tornado Spin: Taz‘s signature move – he spins rapidly in place, damaging nearby enemies multiple times. This should be your main form of attack. At high percentages it can kill opponents.

  • Wild Spin: A horizontal variant of Tornado Spin that makes Taz move across the stage while spinning. Great for chasing down enemies.

  • Chicken Decoy: Taz tosses out a roasted chicken that distracts and damages enemies. It explodes after a few seconds. Use this to disrupt opponents and rack up damage from afar.

  • Anvil Toss: Lobs an anvil in an arc to hit enemies above or below Taz. Can KO at high percentages when aimed down.

  • Beatdown: Grabs an opponent and violently slams them into the ground multiple times. High damage and a potent kill option, but requires grabbing an enemy first.

  • Dogpile: Jumps and slams down, burying nearby enemies. Allies can join the dogpile by jumping in, increasing its power.

As you can see, Taz thrives up close where he can unleash devastating spinning attacks and grabs. He has trouble keeping up with ranged opponents, however. This knowledge will inform our perk choices.

Best Perks for Taz

Let‘s now get into the perks that will take Taz‘s abilities to the next level. I‘ll provide builds for different playstyles – pick what suits you best!

Aggressive Offense Build

If your goal is to deal maximum destruction, these perks enhance Taz‘s damage potential:

  • Signature Perk: I Gotta Get In There! – Letting allies join your dogpiles massively increases their power. More damage, knockback, duration, and armor make it terrifying.

  • Wildcat Brawler – Boosts your ground melee damage by 5%. Spin attacks are your main offense, so this is perfect.

  • Coffeezilla – Gain up to 15% increased movement speed after dodging. Helps Taz chase down enemies to stay on the offensive.

  • Last Stand – Your team deals 10% increased damage after reaching 100 damage. Improves Taz‘s killing power at high percentages.

This loadout doubles down on Taz‘s strengths – close quarters combat and mobility. Together, these perks enable an extremely aggressive playstyle focused on overwhelming opponents with damaging tornado spins.

Defensive Durability Build

If you want a tankier Taz that can absorb tons of damage, these are the best perks:

  • Signature Perk: I Gotta Get In There! – The enhanced dogpile is still crucial.

  • Stronger Than Ever – Gain armor for 5 seconds after respawning. Allows you to re-engage immediately.

  • Collateral Damage – Receive a 3% damage buff each time you‘re knocked back, stacking up to 5 times. Rewards aggressive plays.

  • Deadshot – Take 10% reduced damage from ranged attacks. Combined with armor, makes you very bulky.

This build gives Taz added durability against both melee and ranged attacks. The damage buff from Collateral Damage lets you punish opponents for not finishing you off.

Balanced Build

For a mix of offense and defense, a balanced hybrid loadout works well:

  • Signature Perk: I Gotta Get In There! – Dogpile is vital for any build.

  • Wildcat Brawler – Keep the 5% melee damage buff.

  • Coffeezilla – Mobility remains important for getting in range.

  • Stronger Than Ever – Armor out of respawn lets you instantly rejoin fights.

  • Make it Rain, Dog! – Projectiles have 10% increased speed. Improves Taz‘s kill power.

With these perks you get solid damage and speed boosts along with respawn armor to withstand enemy combos. This allows an aggressive playstyle while still having some durability.
