The 3rd Anniversary celebration has officially taken over the U.A. Island. While the arrival of the highly anticipated new characters, Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor) and Toya Todoroki, has dominated the headlines for My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 19, Bandai Namco has actually rolled out a much larger systemic update.
Alongside the new fighters, the massive September 30 patch introduced a wealth of anniversary reward events, crucial bug fixes, and character tuning adjustments that are already shifting the competitive meta. If you are logging in to claim your anniversary rewards, here is everything you need to know about the Season 19 patch notes and events.
3rd Anniversary Rewards and Pro Missions
To celebrate three years of the free-to-play battle royale, the developers have flooded the game with opportunities to earn premium currency and gacha pulls.
The biggest addition to the gameplay loop is the introduction of Pro Missions. These are high-tier objectives available to players who have completed all of their standard Beginner Missions. Completing Pro Missions rewards players with Hero Crystals and Roll Tickets, providing a much-needed permanent grind for veteran players who had exhausted the existing mission structure.
The season also features a dedicated Anniversary Mission Event and a Special Login Bonus. Simply by logging in once a week and completing the rotating weekly Anniversary Missions, players can earn exclusive “3rd Anniversary Select Hot Picks Roll Tickets.” For players looking to spend money, Bandai Namco has also refreshed the in-game shop with massive Anniversary Hero Crystal Bonus Sets that include guaranteed Costume and Special Roll Tickets.
Patch Notes: Crucial Bug Fixes
On the competitive side, the Season 19 patch finally addressed several massive exploits that were ruining high-ranked lobbies over the past month.
- The Nejire Exploit Fixed: The notorious movement and invincibility exploit tied to Nejire Hado has been completely patched out. After weeks of community debate over whether the erratic movement was “tech” or an outright bug, Bandai Namco confirmed it was an unintended exploit and removed it. Nejire players will need to adapt to legitimate gameplay.
- Aizawa Alpha Combo: Shota Aizawa's binding cloth (Alpha Quirk) received adjustments. The developers fixed the frustrating instant-combo loops, and players now take less collateral damage when Aizawa grabs them near other enemies. This is a quality-of-life improvement that should reduce frustration in team fights.
Character Tuning: The Rise of Tech Dabi
The most highly debated change in the Season 19 patch notes involves the Technical variant of Dabi.
While players were begging for nerfs to dominant characters like Overhaul or the Rapid variant of Twice, the developers instead focused on bringing lower-tier characters up to speed. Tech Dabi received a massive tune-up, specifically targeting his Gamma (ring of fire) and basic melee attacks. The patch granted him significantly better melee tracking and adjusted the knockback on his close-range Gamma hits, allowing skilled players to trap enemies in devastating close-quarters combos.
Many competitive players are already arguing that Tech Dabi is currently in the best state he has ever been in since the game launched. The improved tracking means his melee strings connect more reliably, and the Gamma knockback adjustments let him chain ring-of-fire hits into follow-up attacks that were previously impossible.
Other notable adjustments include a much-needed buff to Mr. Compress's revive mechanic, making his support role more viable in ranked play, and minor tuning buffs to Star and Stripe to improve her viability in team fights.
With a fresh meta, new Todoroki variants, and plenty of free Roll Tickets up for grabs, My Hero Ultra Rumble's 3rd Anniversary is shaping up to be one of the most rewarding seasons in the game's history. Whether you are grinding Pro Missions or labbing the new Tech Dabi combos, there has never been a better time to drop into the U.A. Island.
