Finn the Human


 * This article is about the Fighter. For other uses, see Finn (Disambiguation).

Finn Mertens the Human is a Fighter from the Adventure Time Universe in MultiVersus.

Origin
Finn Mertens is one of the main protagonists of the 2010 Cartoon Network animated series Adventure Time and its related 2007 Nickelodeon animated short (where he was known as Pen). Raised by the anthropomorphic dog couple of Joshua and Margaret, Finn is a young teenage boy with an undying thirst for adventure who lives alongside his second adoptive brother Jake and their best buddy BMO in the Tree Fort. He is believed by many to be the last human in the Land of Ooo (which, as Finn would later discover, is not the case).

According to the main lead writer for MultiVersus, Finn's portrayal in the game comes from the beginning of Adventure Time 's Islands miniseries, although his physical appearance clashes with this fact as Finn had already lost his right arm and had it replaced with a robotic one by the time the miniseries began.

Official Biography
"He’ll slay anything that’s evil, that’s his deal!"

(Mostly) the last human from the Land of Ooo, Finn is a young warrior who has spent most of his life doing quests and helping the forces of good in their never-ending battle against anything and everything evil. With his sword, limitless imagination, and best friend/adopted brother Jake the Dog, there’s no villain he can’t defeat. When he’s not slaying evil, he loves just chilling and playing some video games with BMO.

Default Variant
Finn's default look seems to be based on his debut design from Adventure Time, before gaining his robotic arm.

Gameplay
Finn is an Assassin-type character specialized in pressuring opponents with his various sword strikes. His core mechanic lies in his coin system, where opponents that are damaged by Finn drop coins, which can be collected by him or his ally. These coins can be used to purchase special buffs from Choose Goose when Finn uses his Grounded Down Special, which grants effects to both Finn and his ally. These buffs last for limited time; if Finn is rung out while a buff is still active, he'll respawn without it.

Finn's Air Down and Side Specials have an interesting interaction with each other. His Air Down Special spawns a gem, at the cost of coins, and can use his Side Special (either ground or air versions) to dash towards the gem at high speed, functioning similarly to Garnet's Down Special, Gem Dash. This can be used both offensively or defensively, such as recovering from off-stage. Finn won't dash if the gem is too far away.

Unique to Finn, he's currently the only character in the game that can move while charging his ground attacks, giving him a lot of mobility and flexibility. All but his Air Up Attack use his sword, giving him extra hit with disjointed hurtboxes. This, combined with his above average movement speed and mobility, can make Finn a very oppressive fighter.

The bread-and-butter of Finn's lies in his Up Special, Backpack Attack!, which makes him spin his backpack around himself, hitting enemies multiple times. The backpack has a dragging-type hurtbox, meaning it'll effectively connect the hits. Finn can reliably combo his Grounded Up Attack with his Up Special against opponents on lower percentages, and many of Finn's other low knockback moves can also be chained into it.
