How To Play Bakugo In My Hero Ultra Rumble

Katsuki Bakugo is just as destructive in the game as he is in My Hero Academia's manga and Studio Bones' anime. When learning how to play as Bakugo in My Hero Ultra Rumble, fans will want to get used to constantly playing on the offensive and leaving defense/support to other allies. The hero has access to multiple tools that allow him to approach enemies in different ways depending on the situation. When attacking from further away and with single targets, Bakugo's Quirk Skill Alpha is a great choice. This skill can be 'spammed' to instantly deal a massive stack of damage.

When looking to hurt multiple enemies at once or add a chunk of damage with Quirk Skill Alpha, Bakugo's second Quirk Skill, which allows him to throw a grenade, is a great choice. This grenade's radius grows with each level and can deal immense damage to anyone within its AoE. Finally, Bakugo has his third Quirk Skill, Howitzer Impact. This is a close-range move that usually tops off Bakugo's combos. This move deals great damage with multiple blows, and finally inflicts a massive amount of harm with its explosive finish. To capitalize on all of Bakugo's moves and skills, players should keep these tips in mind:

  • AP Shot is best used as a long-range attack to snipe and barrage foes, especially those who are close-range fighters.
  • Improvised Grenades are best used close to mid-range or on a large group of enemies. This Quirk Skill is great to use with AP Shot in succession.
  • Howitzer Impact should only be used when players are confident in their accuracy, as well as to top off combos when closing in on enemies. Howitzer Impact can be held down to last longer, which will deal more damage overall.
  • Bakugo's Special Action allows him to fly through the air, which is an excellent way for him to start a combo on an enemy, or get the jump on unaware foes. One of the best ways to do so is for Bakugo to fly into the air, drop a grenade or two on his opponent(s), and then close in with a Howitzer Impact.
  • Despite the urge, Bakugo should usually remain near his allies. This will ensure the team's overall survival, which will edge them toward victory in the late game. Bakugo is most efficient when attacking with his allies.

Katsuki Bakugo is a Strike archetype character in My Hero Ultra Rumble . Strike characters 'up' their team's overall Attack Power.

Bakugo Combos in My Hero Ultra Rumble

In this battle royale, combos aren't performed as naturally as they are in fighting games like My Hero's One Justice 2 or Mortal Kombat 1. In My Hero Ultra Rumble, combos are rarely performed due to the invulnerability granted to fighters when they hit the ground and recover.

But, fans shouldn't worry, as there are still plenty of ways for characters like Bakugo to combo his Quirk Skills to inflict as much damage as possible. Here are some combos that Bakugo can perform in My Hero Ultra Rumble:
