How Do You Win as Samurai Jack in MultiVersus?

Samurai Jack is a bruiser character that's most effective when played aggressively to rack up damage on enemies. Hitting opponents with his melee strikes builds up a focus meter that gives his special moves a big boost, and this is the core of the character you should prioritise. Using focus-powered special attacks is the way to deal big damage and score those all-important ring-outs.

The focus meter can also be used to give him gray health. Crouching while you have some meter built up will deplete the meter but give him the protective buff, which definitely comes in handy. Other than that, Samurai Jack is a pretty straightforward sword user.
