My Hero Ultra Rumble brings forth one of the best anime battle royale games that players can get into for free. Throughout the game, players will scavenge for items, coordinate with their team, and best of all, play as their favorite My Hero Academia characters. Since My Hero Ultra Rumble's official release, the game has had a hefty roster for many fans to explore.

There are plenty of characters for players to use, but there is no doubt that some are better than others. With slight balancing issues, some My Hero Ultra Rumble fighters are inevitably much better than others in terms of damage, movements, and overall gameplay. Here are the game's strongest options.

7 Himiko Toga

Himiko Toga is one of the several locked characters that players will have to grind for in My Hero Ultra Rumble. Like many of the characters that were developed after the beta, Toga is one of the best fighters in the game. Toga is a Technical villain with the capability of dealing amazing damage with her full-auto Jagged Throwing Knife quirk attack.

The Battle Royale genre has recently dominated the free-to-play market. However, there are great titles outside of that genre that are also free.

Toga's best ability allows her to completely transform into another player, complete with the power to use their quirks. Because of this, Toga has become a superior combatant with a very high skill ceiling.

6 Izuku Midoriya

Though he may have been the very first character in the game, Izuku Midoriya remains one of the best characters thanks to how balanced he is in My Hero Ultra Rumble. Deku's three quirks are all fantastic in their own way, and they even give him movement that provides players with a profound way of exploring their defensive and offensive options.

With his Delaware Smash Air Force quirk, Deku deals incredible damage from far away, making this move his most 'broken' one yet. Blackwhip is also a great skill, allowing Deku to grapple enemies and 'Spider-Man' his way around the map.

5 Katsuki Bakugo

Although he may be controversial in the anime, Katsuki Bakugo not only has some of the best moves in the game, but also some of the best movement options and damage potential out of the entire roster. Fighting against a skilled Bakugo can be an absolute pain, because his AP Shot hits from afar and deals massive damage.

Bakugo's Improvised Grenades are also a devastating ranged attack, allowing players to hit multiple enemies in an area. With his Explosive Speed action, Bakugo can fly around the sky using his nitrous sweat, allowing him to easily navigate the map.

4 Dabi

The villains in My Hero Ultra Rumble have started off with a powerful debut since the game was released in 2023. Dabi, one of the initial villains in the game, is a Technical character with the ability to place traps around the map.

Not only can Dabi place fatal traps on the ground, but he also has the Ring of Fire skill, which surrounds him in a ring of fire. This can trap opponents inside and can protect the player from outside projectiles. Lastly, Dabi has access to one of the best ranged attacks in the game, which automatically tracks opponents.

3 All Might

It's no surprise that My Hero Academia's strongest hero is one of the best fighters of the entire roster in My Hero Ultra Rumble. It would be tragic if that were untrue. That said, All Might lives up to his status, and has some of the best versatility that allows him to take on teams all alone.

All Might is an icon in My Hero Academia, and as the former number 1 pro hero, he has dropped memorable lines throughout the series.

Not only does All Might have access to a high jump special action, but he can also carry downed allies on his back. All Might's various Smashes all deal exceptional damage and place the opponent in a vulnerable position in the air.

2 Ibara Shiozaki

Released with the game in September 2023, Ibara Shiozaki is Class-1-B's second hero to appear in the battle royale game. As a Support archetype, Shiozaki can wrap a downed ally in thorns, which instantly revives them.

If that's not powerful enough on its own, Shiozaki also has a quirk skill called Crucifixion, which allows her to entangle an enemy in thorny hair. This immobilizes opponents and leaves them vulnerable to other attacks. With the great synergy between supporting teammates and dealing damage, Shiozaki has become an extreme character for the game's meta.

1 Tomura Shigaraki

The first villain in the game notably brings a heavy, unbalanced onslaught to the rest of the roster in My Hero Ultra Rumble. Tomura Shigaraki is a Strike character, which means that he is meant to focus on damage while attacking other teams.

Shigaraki does just that. He has the power to rapidly take out an opponent with a simple combination of his quirk skills. With multiple AoE attacks and a couple of single-target-focused moves, Shigaraki is one of the best characters that players can choose in My Hero Ultra Rumble.
