Is Aizawa worth it in My Hero Ultra Rumble?

Aizawa is the newest character for My Hero Ultra Rumble. Playing as a unique Technical character, he has the capability of erasing the enemy’s quirk. He’s also an incredibly popular character in the anime, meaning interest for the character is quite high. But is Aizawa worth it in My Hero Ultra Rumble?

Considering the hero unlock system is gacha, players really do have to be careful when using their currency to try and unlock a specific hero. As a whole, Aizawa is honestly pretty weak in the game, and isn’t really worth rolling for those only desiring the character to keep up with the meta.

Aizawa Gameplay analysis

Many speculated the hero would launch in a broken state, considering he has a kick and grapple for mobility, and a quirk erasing special. But in actuality, the character is pretty balanced. In fact, the argument could definitely be made that the character is flat up bad.

Aizawa’s grapple has an end lag animation, where he slams the ground. This prevents him from effectively moving up buildings, and decreases his overall mobility. Think of it as a Mr. Compress Gamma ability, but instead of the lag in the beginning of the move, it’s towards the end. And considering Mr. Compress’ wind up animation is his biggest weakness, Aizawa will definitely struggle with a similar weakness.

There is a mechanic where he can make up for his grapple animation by using his kick immediately after, but even the kick doesn’t fly very fast. It does move him forward, but the trajectory at which Aizawa travels is far too slow. This therefore leaves him pretty vulnerable to enemy attacks.

To add on, Aizawa’s Gamma ability forces him to stand still. Though the damage is pretty solid, it doesn’t deal crowd control. The combo is likely to use the grapple to bind enemies, then follow up with the Gamma ability to deal some amazing damage.

In Conclusion

Unless players simply really want to master the him, because the new My Hero Ultra Rumble character is pretty weak as a whole, most may not find Aizawa worth it. The currency to roll is hard to save up, and there may be far better characters on the horizon to save up for.

Of course, for those who just love the character from the anime and manga, there really is no point in telling you not to roll for him. At the end of the day, even if a character isn’t top tier, they’re all still viable in My Hero Ultra Rumble — Aizawa is no different.
