Raven is a Fighter from the DC Universe in MultiVersus. She was revealed on October 7th, 2024 and released on November 12th for purchase with Gleamium, before making her proper debut on November 15th during Season 4 as the first newcomer that can be unlocked in Fighter Road.
Origin[]
Raven is a mage-like superheroine in the DC universe created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez. She born as the daughter of a human and a demon. The former gives her possession of dark magic that grant her abilities like telekinesis, teleporting, projection (via her "soul self"), energy blasts, and more. She often chants the phrase "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" whenever performing these abilities. Raven is best known for her prominent role in the Teen Titans, but has earned a reputation high enough to join the likes of the Justice League. She is also infamous for her grim personality, often speaking in a bored, monotone voice. Despite this demeanor and her demon heritage, she uses her powers for good and not evil, unlike her father Trigon.
Official Biography[]
Azarath Metrion Zinthos!
A founding member of the (new) Teen Titans, Raven’s half-demon parentage grants her incredible magical abilities. Between her telekinesis, flight, projection of her Soul-Self, and control over darkness itself, she’s a powerful ally for the team in the war for the Multiverse.[1]

QUOTH THE RAVEN... Raven infuses some of her magic into her pet bird, Lenore, and unleashes the bird as a HEAVY PROJECTILE into the arena. Raven can release the special button to place Lenore and spawn a small detonation attack at Lenore’s location. Lenore can be picked up by allies to transfer Raven’s magic to her ally. Raven’s imbued magic allows Raven to use her other special attacks from a long distance up to three times. If Lenore is idle in the arena, enemies can melee attack Lenore three times or attack her with an armor break attack to remove her. While Lenore is within range, Raven can use this attack again to KNOCKBACK all enemies in between her and Lenore. Placing Lenore applies a COOLDOWN. While Lenore is on cooldown, Raven instead spawns a wisp that she can detonate at a location. |

PASSIVE ABILITIES
MAGICAL COUNTERMEASURES
When Raven and her ally are in a dire situation and Raven takes damage, Raven's magic begins to consume her, changing her appearance and empowering her. Raven's taken damage, her ally's taken damage, and the current team score can all impact when Raven's passive triggers. While her passive is active, Raven is faster and her melee attacks deal additional DAMAGE and KNOCKBACK.
