Side Attack to Blastoff
Neutral attack (Heart Card) > Side Neutral > Side Neutral > Side Special
Start with a neutral attack, preferably the Heart card, to bring your opponent closer. Follow up with two side attacks and then unleash the "Side Special" attack, "Blastoff!" This combo inflicts horizontal damage and can potentially ring out your opponent.
Aerial to Blastoff
Aerial Down > Up Special > Side Aerial > Side Special
Initiate with an aerial down attack, followed by the "Up Special" move "Balloonatic!" to lift Joker into the air. Then, unleash an aerial side attack and finish with the "Side Special" attack "Blastoff!" to knock your opponent off the platform.

Tips to Play Joker in MultiVersus
Playing as the Joker in MultiVersus requires a balanced approach to his moveset. While his chargeable moves share the same charge bar, using them strategically can give you an edge over your opponents.
It's also important to keep track of the order of his projectile cards, as knowing which one is coming next can help you set up devastating combos. The "Heart" card, for instance, can bring enemies closer, allowing you to follow up with a powerful combo starter.
One of the Joker's most versatile abilities is "Balloonatic!," which can be used both on the ground and in the air. Using this move effectively can help you set up combos or improve your mobility across the map. For example, you could use "Balloonatic!" followed by "Crowbarred!" to initiate an aerial combo sequence.
Finally, don't underestimate the Joker's edge-guarding capabilities. Moves like "Oh No Pogo" can prevent opponents from climbing back onto the platform, potentially leading to a ring-out if used correctly.
