But, for the people who want to stick with this gluttonous, spit-spewing little beast, what should they be working on? How are they supposed to get better as a Taz main, and what are his best tools? Well, let’s take an in-depth look at this MultiVersus character, see what his best options are, and how the best players seem to be approaching him.
What Type Of Fighter Is Taz?
First and foremost, Taz is defined in-game as a Bruiser who excels in Horizontal knockback, a similar category to Shaggy and Garnet. Bruisers are designed to be in the thick of it, racking up damage and trying to Ring Out on their opponents. And, while this might seem like something all characters should be doing, that’s not necessarily true.
For example, Tanks typically do best to react to the opponent coming at them thanks to their Armored attacks, Supports are designed to go in and then back out to support their ally, and Assassins go in for the combo, back out, and repeat.

Bruisers, however, are meant to be constantly on top of their opponent and are usually given very powerful Normal Attacks to compliment this, Taz is a perfect example of this.
The Tornado Nerf Didn’t Ruin Him
Now, one might think that because his player base has massively dropped after the Tornado nerf, Taz must have been a pretty weak character outside of his Taz-Naod, right? Absolutely not, the beginners just moved to Finn instead. Taz is an incredibly good character, but he does have some flaws. For one, almost all of Taz’s Normals have incredibly tight hitboxes compared to other Bruisers, meaning he has to be right on top of his enemy to get the hit in.
And, the best way to counter this is just for Taz players to stick to their opponents constantly. Thankfully, most of Taz’s moves come out exceedingly quickly, which makes this a realistic goal to achieve. Additionally, the Tornado nerf itself wasn’t even all that bad. It took one hit out of the Tornado animation, reduced the length of the Tornado itself, and shortened the distance it can cover.
And, while that is pretty substantial, it’s still a fantastic method of Ringing people out at mid to high percentages. Hopefully, these types of carefully considered nerfs are what they plan on doing to Bugs Bunny as well.
An In-Depth Look At His Best Moves
Now that Taz’s overall playstyle and the way he was designed to be played have been talked about, let’s go a bit more into his moves specifically. This won’t include Move Descriptions but will instead talk about what each move is typically used for and where it shines the most. First, let’s look at his Passive Ability, then his Normal Attacks, and then finally his Special Attacks:
Passive: Tasty Debuff
Taz’s Passive Ability is actually one of the strongest Debuffs in the game if they manage to max out the Tasty Stacks, as it turns their enemy into a sentient roasted chicken that can only run away and dodge.

Thankfully, certain moves such as Soup-er Spinner, Flying Slam-Wich, and Sunder Down Under are great for dealing damage and also for racking up those Tasty Stacks.
