Fortnite adds new My Hero Academia characters, including Todoroki
There are a bunch of new Fortnite My Hero Academia characters in the game, as announced Tuesday by Epic Games. You can now play as Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, and Mina Ashido from the anime’s Class 1-A. Todoroki is available by himself, while the other two are included in a bundle. Additionally, characters can now create an Ice Wall, in addition to using the Deku Smash.
Todoroki, Kirishima, and Ashido are available on Fortnite‘s Item Shop. Todoroki himself comes with two costumes and is 1,500 VBucks. There’s a bundle with him and three other items, such as the Cold-Hot Hitters and U.A. Uniform weapon skin, for 2,400 VBucks.
Ashido and Kirishima are 1,500 VBucks separately or 2,800 VBucks together. That 2,800 VBucks bundle also comes with the Cultural Festival Dance, Red Riot Thrashers, Red Riot Shield, and Acid Axe.
Fortnite players can also find the Ice Wall ability, in addition to the Deku Smash as an item pick-up. You can score them easily from the All Might supply drop, which has the former hero’s face on the balloon. The Ice Wall can protect your friends or slip up players as an offensive attack.
Additionally, there are quests focused on My Hero Academia. These include finding All Might supply drops, damaging foes with the Deku Smash, and causing fire damage to structures around the world. If you finish enough of these quests, you’ll gain an instant level-up.
Deku, Bakugo, and Uraraka are currently not on the Fortnite Item Shop at the time of writing, but they’ll may join the lineup soon if you missed them the first time. Epic Games likely wants to go all-in with this Fortnite My Hero Academia collab.
