Tips and Strategies for Velma in MultiVersus

Velma is a unique character who excels at ranged combat. She can dish out a lot of damage from far away and can provide buffs and debuffs without entering the fray. She is best paired with a strong fighter who can keep pressure off her. This allows her to use her kit to the full extent.

Her Supportive Words and Motivational Speaker abilities are incredibly useful for controlling the battlefield, dealing damage, and healing your team, making them some of your go-to moves. You want to avoid close combat when possible and rely on your teammate for protection. Most of her melee attacks are better suited for putting space between you and the enemy so you can retreat.
