Spiking in MultiVersus is an attack that knocks enemies down and prevents them from recovering, which can also be used on an enemy while they recover to inflict huge amounts of damage and secure a Ringout.

Using a Spike attack may sound complicated, but the method is easy because you must hit an enemy with a standard attack while holding down on the left analog stick. This will propel an enemy downwards and into the ground.

To use Spikes to get Ringouts effectively, use a Spike attack while an enemy is above an area with no floor below them. If you hit this correctly, the enemy will be fired downwards and off the screen, resulting in a Ringout for your team.

If you’re specifically hunting for the achievement, Ringouts against Bots in practice count towards your progress, and you can also tackle Rifts on a low-difficulty setting to get to grips with the method of attack.
