How Do You Win as Steven Universe in MultiVersus?

Steven Universe is a Support class character, but he's more than capable as a brawler once you get used to him. He has a lot of useful melee attacks that can combo into each other fairly well, but it's his Specials that will make the real difference.

His Down Special sees him place down a healing area for you and your teammate. It will also spawn a mini Steven that will fight on your side. This extra character is easy to knock out, but it's worth having them around to disrupt your opponents.

Steven's Neutral Special sends out a tether Projectile. This will latch onto your teammate, or if no one's close by, will be cast out ahead of you. After a couple of seconds, any enemies caught between you and the Projectile will take damage. You can use this to cover a lot of ground space, and it's hard to dodge. This move, as well as some others, will build an effect called Rose's Gaze. Once you have 10 stacks of this on an enemy, they will be Bubbled, which disables them completely for a short while. You can't deal any damage to them in this state, but it lets you focus on the other opponent in a brief 2v1 scenario.

As you might expect, Steven's shields are pretty key. The Side Special can be charged for a long time, and will send out a vertical shield that you can use to control an area or block enemies off. The Up Special deals damage but also sets a horizontal shield in the air which can be used as a platform. You can also bounce enemies off these shields, leading to some serious juggle potential if you know what you're doing.
