The whole roster can be unlocked for free. And even if you are willing to pay, there are some important aspects to know.
MultiVersus is a free-to-play game that sells you various items, including playable characters. Thank goodness, the developers left a nice way to unlock all characters in MultiVersus for free — even if this method takes some time. Let’s delve into details and highlight some important tips on unlocking MultiVesus fighters!
Free characters in MultiVersus: the pros and cons
Like many other gamers, MultiVersus features a rotation of free characters. You launch the game and have someone to play. This sounds great, isn’t it?
The problem is that every one of those fighters has pretty deep mechanics. It’s easy to just grab anyone and enjoy the fights. But to be good at MutliVersus, you should have consistency with your training, know all the features of a character’s moveset, and even develop muscle memory for the most effective strings and combos. It’s almost impossible to do it for the limited time of free rotation.
- Free characters in rotation are there for everyone — it’s great.
- You cannot hope to develop your skills with very different fighters if you don’t practice them long enough — it’s not good.

Buy MultiVersus Fighters: Tips
It may feel like simply paying for the characters is the easiest way of getting them. Sadly, MultiVersus doesn’t offer a complete pack with all characters, In a way, the game motivates gamers to play more and earn currencies from internal missions.
Check out the tips below to avoid spending too much in a free-to-play game.
- Try and get as much currency in the game as possible — while the process is easy in the beginning (leveling up characters and your account, training missions, etc.)
- Start with unlocking one character only and stick to them for a while. Learn your first fighter properly before unlocking the next one, and you will earn a good amount in the process (at least Fighter Currency).
- Connect emotional and practical approaches. It’s great to unlock characters you enjoy in their original franchise. But they have very specific features as MultiVersus fighters, and they may not be the best for your personal style.
- Consider purchasing Gleamium separately, not as part of bundles.
- MultiVersus is pretty generous regarding Fighter Currency, so better earn as much as possible from the game. Don’t buy bundles for it.
