Heroes Battlegrounds explosion hero: Combo Tips & Moves

Explosion Hero is the seventh character added to Heroes Battlegrounds and the tenth character when private-server exclusives are included. The character is based on Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia, with a moveset built around explosive propulsion, close-range pressure, aerial movement, and high-impact finishers.

The character’s defining feature is its two-stage ultimate system. Fury Ignition is the primary ultimate state, while TENTH TORCH becomes available after sufficient damage is dealt during Fury Ignition. The cited threshold is approximately 85% of an opponent’s health bar or an equivalent amount of damage against another target.

The character rewards players who can maintain pressure without rushing every attack. Its base attacks can connect into multiple follow-ups, but several moves require careful timing or a specific enemy state. The result is a fighter with a relatively accessible damage concept and a higher skill ceiling around spacing, combo confirmation, and ultimate management.

Explosion Hero’s base kit combines short cooldown pressure with conditional second uses. Ground Cannon is especially important because its first use can ragdoll an opponent and create a second attack opportunity. The move can also apply a soft ragdoll when used against an enemy who is already ragdolled, leaving that target vulnerable to M1 attacks.

Powered Shot follows a similar two-use structure. Its first use has recoil, while the second use offers additional range and requires more precise timing. These properties make it useful for extending pressure, but less reliable when activated without a clear setup.

The most useful base-move properties are their ability to connect into one another and their finishers. Ground Cannon, Powered Shot, and the character’s combo tools can be held or timed to create additional routes instead of being spent immediately.

A practical combo mindset is to use a confirmed M1 sequence or setup move first, then select the follow-up based on the enemy’s position. Ground Cannon is strongest when the target is already vulnerable to a ragdoll interaction, while Powered Shot is more valuable when distance or vertical displacement matters.

Explosion Hero’s ultimate system is the centerpiece of the character. Fury Ignition begins with an explosive activation sequence that deals area damage and launches the user into the air. Its movement properties make it valuable in crowded fights, especially when several opponents are grouped together.

During Fury Ignition, the enhanced M1 string becomes Concentrated Power. Each hit is listed at 6% damage, with the complete sequence reaching 24%. The ultimate state also includes low-cooldown attacks and the mobility tool Eruption Dive, which has a large area of effect.

To activate TENTH TORCH, deal enough damage while Fury Ignition is active and then use the fourth ability slot within that moveset. The state is a one-time activation, so players should avoid triggering it before they have a reasonable chance to connect the sequence.

TENTH TORCH has immense burst potential but a shorter duration than some other ultimate states. Its attacks can also be punished if used without a reliable opening. The transformation provides powerful impact damage, yet the surrounding setup remains just as important as the final attack.

Both ultimate states provide invincibility-frame opportunities during their animations, giving Explosion Hero tools for avoiding certain high-damage attacks. However, animation protection does not remove the need for positioning. The startup of NUKE, for example, does not provide invincibility frames, leaving the character vulnerable to interruption before the explosion occurs.

Explosion Hero’s passive system becomes more valuable after securing a defeat. The character can gain cooldown benefits and a damage increase for a subsequent successful attack. These effects encourage a snowballing playstyle in which each confirmed elimination improves the next engagement.

The character’s strongest qualities are straightforward damage routes, multiple combo opportunities, and flexible ultimate access. Fury Ignition is particularly useful against multiple opponents because it combines mobility, area coverage, and low-cooldown attacks.

Explosion Hero can struggle when opponents preserve their evasive maneuvers. The base kit may lack consistent true extensions in certain situations, which means some routes depend on the opponent spending their escape option too early. Blast Catapult can also send targets too far away for a dependable follow-up, while BLITZ KICK is vulnerable when used raw or when it misses.

The startup of NUKE deserves special caution. Although its self-destruct mechanic preserves the user’s killstreak, the move can be interrupted before the explosion begins. Use it after creating enough space or securing a situation where the opponent cannot respond immediately.

The following route organizes the character’s mechanics into a repeatable combat plan. It prioritizes confirmation and resource management rather than forcing a single fixed combo.
