But, for those just getting into My Hero Ultra Rumble, or coming back to the game after a hiatus, there may be some tips to keep in mind when starting out. My Hero Ultra Rumble can be a simplistic game, but it has complex interactions that make all the difference in how a match ends.

7 Pick A Character To 'Main'

There are plenty of characters, who have all been introduced in My Hero Academia (one of Studio Bones' best anime), in My Hero Ultra Rumble's roster. While the roster grows with every Season, fans will want to consistently play just about every character there is. But in the long run, gamers will notice an inefficiency to this approach.

Many shonen anime revolve around the unique powers that characters possess. Here are some of the best ways these shows have portrayed such power.

Just like other fighting games, or games that consist of various characters, players will need to choose a single character to focus on and hone their skills with. With this strategy, players will become skilled with that character and will bring a much better mastery to a team in My Hero Ultra Rumble​​​​​​.

6 Level Up Your Quirks

My Hero Ultra Rumble works differently than other battle royale games like Fortnite, in the sense of smaller details. Each fighter in My Hero Ultra Rumble has an archetype: Rapid, Assault, Support, Technical, or Strike. Each archetype focuses on a specific gameplay mechanic that boosts a team's stats.

In a match, players will locate skill cards on the ground. These are separated by colors (associated with archetypes) and symbols (associated with one of the three quirks). If players are looking to bring more to the table in My Hero Ultra Rumble, they will need to pick up the corresponding skill cards that level up their quirks.

5 Help Civilians

In the game's tutorial, helping civilians is introduced as one of My Hero Ultra Rumble's main gameplay features. But once players start getting out into the game and playing through matches, helping civilians feels optional. This is true, but helping civilians will allow players to reap many rewards that will not only help them win a match, but also reward them with different quests that need to be completed.

Helping a civilian will give players items, one of which is likely a Revive Card. These are necessary for bringing back a fallen teammate, which can be the difference between a loss and a win.

4 Movement Is Important

Movement is underrated in My Hero Ultra Rumble. Many inexperienced players fail to avoid attacks or get around the map efficiently. There are plenty of ways, including using specific characters, to ensure that movement is polished. Rapid characters like Tenya IIda or Tsuyu are great for traversing and dodging around the map with their movement options.

For other characters, players will need to utilize their quirks to move around. Dodging is also an important skill, which can separate beginners from the rest of the player base. Dodging will help players maneuver around enemy attacks, which can easily be used to solve a 1v3 situation.

3 Pick The Best Starting Points

Many battle royale games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone force players to jump from an aircraft onto the map. On the other hand, My Hero Ultra Rumble allows players to pick where they want to start on the map. Because of this, players can strategize their locations with ease, as well as focus on how to get the most loot as soon as possible without confrontation.

It's important to figure out where to start at the beginning of a match, so players can coordinate efficiently. The best starting points in My Hero Ultra Rumble are spots that have high elevation options, a large loot box nearby, or plenty of hiding spots for sneaky characters like Tsuyu.

2 Teamwork Is Necessary

Since My Hero Ultra Rumble puts players in teams of three, they will need to act accordingly. Most players will not be able to strategize alone against several other teams, meaning that the whole 'lone wolf' concept should be thrown out of the window.

Instead, players will want to support their team by using coordinated archetypes and characters. They should also use callouts, revive fallen teammates, and support an offensive/defensive position. This is best done with teams that have played together for a while, but if playing with randoms, players will want to use the ping wheel that My Hero Ultra Rumble offers, as well as ensure that randoms are helping.

1 Gather The Best Items

In My Hero Ultra Rumble, players can find various items all over the map. These can range from GP potions, health potions, and mixed potions, to skill cards and revive cards. Each item has its own unique uses, but there is limited backpack space, meaning players will have to accommodate. Since there aren't too many types of items in My Hero Ultra Rumble, it shouldn't be difficult to sort out backpack space.

Players will want to only have two skill cards that don't associate with their archetype, which won't take up space and will automatically be equipped onto their character. The best skill cards are generally associated with the archetype that players are using. Second, players will want as many mixed potions as possible, which should take priority over any health or GP potions.
