Heroes Battlegrounds bakugou: Explosion Hero Guide

Heroes Battlegrounds bakugou is represented by Explosion Hero, the seventh character added to the main roster and the tenth character overall when private-server exclusives are included. The character is based on Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia, using explosive attacks inspired by his Quirk and combat style.

Explosion Hero is designed around rapid pressure, knockdowns, finishers, and momentum. The base kit rewards players who can connect several attacks in sequence, while the ultimate system adds a second layer of decision-making. Its first ultimate, Fury Ignition, can unlock TENTH TORCH after the player deals sufficient damage.

The character’s identity is not based on one isolated attack. Instead, it combines combo routes, mobility, cooldown resets, and execution moves. Every base move has a finisher, which helps activate the character’s passive effects after securing a defeat.

Strengths and weaknesses

For additional character details, consult the Explosion Hero page on the Heroes Battlegrounds Wiki.

Explosion Hero’s base moveset focuses on knockdowns, delayed second uses, and finishers. Understanding when an attack creates a follow-up opportunity is more important than using every ability immediately.

Ground Cannon is one of the most useful tools in the base kit. Its first use creates a small explosion, burns the immediate area, and ragdolls the opponent. If it connects under the right conditions, it grants a second use. The follow-up consists of explosive punches and can execute targets below its listed health threshold.

Powered Shot also has two uses. The first blast can create recoil and interfere with a follow-up if the timing is careless. The second use has greater range, but it still requires deliberate timing. Both versions have separate finisher conditions.

Base-move priorities

• Use Ground Cannon when you need a knockdown that can lead into more attacks.
• Delay the second use of Ground Cannon when preserving it creates a better combo route.
• Account for the recoil on the first Powered Shot before attempting a frontal dash or close-range follow-up.
• Use Blast Catapult with enough positioning control to prevent excessive launch distance.
• Look for finisher opportunities instead of spending every move only for raw damage.

Environmental and aerial attacks

Explosion Hero can also interact with environmental objects and use aerial pressure. These attacks are situational, but they can add damage when the opponent is positioned near a wall, tree, or pillar.

Explosion Hero is unique because it has two distinct ultimate modes: Fury Ignition and TENTH TORCH. The first ultimate is not merely a damage button; it also acts as the setup state for the second transformation.

Fury Ignition begins with an explosive activation sequence that deals area damage. Once active, it improves the character’s movement and offensive pressure. Its Eruption Dive has a large area of effect, making it useful when multiple opponents are grouped together.

To unlock TENTH TORCH, deal approximately 85% of an opponent’s health bar, or an equivalent amount of damage to another target, while Fury Ignition is active. Then use the fourth ability slot within the Fury Ignition moveset. If the requirement is not met, Fury Ignition effectively provides only its initial set of offensive moves.

The full TENTH TORCH sequence can deal approximately 348% damage when all moves and the transformation sequence connect. This makes it especially valuable against The Prototype boss, where the character’s two ultimate activations and high burst potential can provide strong damage windows.

Explosion Hero has several tools that reward controlled aggression. The passive system becomes more valuable after each defeat, so a player who secures the first elimination can often approach the next fight with refreshed resources.

Nitroglycerin Recharge halves the cooldown of the next successfully landed or missed attack after defeating an opponent. Prodigy Addition increases the damage of the next successfully landed attack by an additional 0.05% after a defeat. The character also benefits from the general cooldown reset that occurs when a player defeats an opponent with credit.

Reliable combo principles

• Start with a move that gives you a clear confirmation rather than a high-risk raw attack.
• Use Explosion Combo to create access to multiple follow-up options.
• Remember that every move can be used after Explosion Combo, allowing flexible route selection.
• Save the second use of Powered Shot or Ground Cannon when it can serve as a delayed combo tool.
• Use Ground Cannon to extend into base moves after the opponent has been ragdolled.
• Use Blast Away after three M1s when the opponent has no evasive option remaining.
• Avoid using Blitz Kick raw because a miss can be punished.
• Use the invincibility frames on Blast Away to survive a dangerous exchange when the animation is safe to begin.

Risk management

Some of Explosion Hero’s attacks are powerful only when their conditions are controlled. Blast Catapult may send the target too far away, while NUKE can be interrupted during startup because its initial animation does not provide invincibility frames. TENTH TORCH is also vulnerable to punishment if its moves are activated without a confirmed opening.

Use the following checklist when learning Heroes Battlegrounds bakugou. The goal is to build consistency before attempting advanced ultimate routes or multi-opponent pressure.
