Marceline the Vampire Queen

Marceline Abadeer, better known as Marceline the Vampire Queen, is a Fighter from the Adventure Time Universe in MultiVersus. She was revealed on October 7th, 2024 alongside Raven and was released in early access on December 17th, 2024, before making her proper debut on December 20th during Season 4.

Origin

Marceline is one of the main characters from Adventure Time. As an immortal vampire, she is over 1,000 years old and first appears as an antagonist in the episode "Evicted!", attempting to throw Finn and Jake out of their Tree Fort. Over the course of the series, she would quickly grow to instead fill a more heroic role, as more about her past and her relationships with other characters like the Ice King and Princess Bubblegum were revealed. Her main traits include her love of music (especially her Ax Bass guitar), her mischievous trickster tendencies, and her diet of "red" (the literal color of red objects) in place of blood.

NEUTRAL K	STANCE SWAP Marceline swings her axe around, hooking enemies in and changing into BASS STANCE. BASS STANCE replaces your normal attacks with bass note strums, and your specials with bass finishers. Performing any 3 strums in a row will result in a bass finisher depending on the direction you hold.

If you store 3 stakes, the next Air Neutral Special will throw all 3 stakes.

During BASS STANCE, Marceline flies up into the air with a massive strum of her bass, creating a huge AOE shockwave around her. Damage and knockback scale with Rhythm stacks.	TO THE SKIES (AIR) Same as To the Skies.
DOWN 🡇 + K	FLYING ELBOW DROP / SHRED Marceline leaps into the air and transforms into a bat, falling down with her elbow and crashing to the ground. During BASS STANCE, Marceline strums her bass rapidly 3 times for a multi-hit. Apply IGNITE to your enemy. Strength of the effect depends on your Rhythm Bonus.	FLYING ALBOW DROP (AIR) Same as on the ground, except you can no longer charge the ability.

PASSIVE ABILITIES ON THE BEAT!
