Explosion

Legendary

An aggressive Quirk that lets the user create powerful explosions from their palms using nitroglycerin-like sweat. Inspired by Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia, Explosion excels at close-range burst damage and explosive mobility. The explosions serve both as devastating attacks and as a propulsion method for rapid movement.

Awakening

Explosion Awakening was officially revealed in a developer sneak peek (Oct 27, 2025) and is one of the most hyped awakenings in the community. To awaken, you must complete multiple questlines and defeat your Inner Self in the Void of your Mind — an AI that copies your aggressive playstyle. Awakened Explosion unlocks enhanced moves with bigger blast radius, higher damage, and screen-filling explosions. Destructible buildings become available during awakening-tier skills.

Tips

  • Explode-A-Pult (C) is the best gap closer — use it to initiate every fight.
  • Stun Grenade (X) into M1 combo is your bread-and-butter opener.
  • Explosion rewards aggressive play — don't play passive with this Quirk.
  • Howitzer Impact (V) is best used as a combo finisher, not an opener.
