January 7 MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE balance patch: buffs and nerfs

Table of Content

MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE received a balance-focused maintenance update on January 7, 2026. The patch tunes reload speeds, damage values, and ammo counts across multiple characters, and standardizes HP for Neito Monoma (Original) at 300. Several high-mobility and burst options were accelerated, while some high-damage skills were trimmed to curb early eliminations. Special Tuning skills also saw targeted adjustments to duration and cooldown behavior. The changes collectively aim to stabilize early and mid-match pacing.

Battle style adjustments – headline changes

This update emphasizes faster uptime for mobility and utility while dialing back uncharged or burst damage on select kits. Reload speed increases touch multiple heroes, particularly where gauges can be depleted. Conversely, several brawlers see damage reductions to constrain snowball potential. A few scaling tweaks apply at specific levels, such as levels 4 and 9 or 5-9.

• Faster uptime: Katsuki Bakugo, Denki Kaminari, Hawks (with depleted gauge), Twice (Original), and Izuku Midoriya (Full Bullet at levels 4 and 9) receive reload speed boosts.
• Damage trims: Ichika Kendo (Twin Palm Strike), Tamaki Amajiki (Original), and Endeavor (Inferno Fist) have reductions applied across key skills.
• Targeted buffs: Tenya Iida (Original) gains ammo and damage; All Might (Original) gains higher shockwave damage at levels 5-9; Twice (Original) sees a damage bump.
• Stat line update: Neito Monoma (Original) is set to 300 HP.

Why it matters – pacing and survivability shifts

Faster reloads on mobility and utility tilt skirmish rhythm toward more frequent engagements, while damage reductions on select frontline kits should reduce instant burst eliminations. The 300 HP baseline for Monoma (Original) and level-based scaling updates (levels 4 and 9, 5-9) refine survivability and late-game impact. If you main a mobility-focused or gauge-dependent kit, expect more consistent uptime; heavy-hitters may need tighter timing and better resource management.
