All Tom & Jerry Costumes
Like all other characters inMultiVersus, Tom & Jerry have several alternate appearances that players can unlock with Gleamium.Tom & Jerry has five total Variants: Baker Street, Vampire, Detectives, Pirates, and Tooniverse Tom & Jerry. Unlike other characters, Tom & Jerry currently do not have a Legendary skin, although this is likely to be added in future updates pastSeason 1 ofMultiVersus.
Unfortunately, there are only so many ways to earn Gleamium without paying. If you progress any Fighter Mastery to level 15, you will be rewarded with only a small amount of the premium micro currency.
To afford a Variant without paying real-life dollars,you must max out multiple characters to reach the amount. you may also check out the Prestige Store, which sometimes will carry variants, whether exclusive or not. These items can sometimes cost upwards of 100,000 Prestige Points, so stocking up is best.
All Tom & Jerry Perks
Tom & Jerry have three total Signature Perks. Alongside the Well-Rounded Perk that all characters can access, this Mage duo also has Fly Fisher and Dynamite Split.These Signature Perks empower the strongest part of Tom & Jerry’s kit, the projectiles.
Dynamite Split is currently the better option, as it creates more dynamites if you reflect it with Tom’s Neutral attack. Although Fly Fisher is good, it weakens the overall damage of the fishing pole, but it is made into a better ledge recovery move.
Compared to other characters, Tom & Jerry have relatively few weaknesses. Given their status as a Mage,Tom & Jerry typically take more damage per hit than other characters. Stronger Than Ever, Speed Force Assist, and Clear The Air are all great Team, Strong, and Standard Perks that can improve Tom & Jerry’s defenses and dodging ability. To combat other projectile-based characters, perfecting yourparry ability inMultiVersusis important.
