A complete gameplay-focused breakdown covering: how to unlock both powers, what each move does, how strong they actually are, and how to build around them after the rework to Jungle Island and the new enchant system.
This update adds several new systems and two major powers based on My Hero Academia:
- Two new powers:
- One For All (Deku)
- All For One / Decay (Shigaraki)
- New accessories
- New title
- Jungle Island rework
- Accessory enchant system
- SID removed from game (unobtainable now)
- Multiple bug fixes post-launch
If you’re returning after previous patches, expect a noticeably smoother experience—the initial bugs during release have been patched.
How to Unlock Shigaraki (Decay / AFO)
Shigaraki is craft-based, not quest-based.
Requirements (Craft at NPC)
To unlock Shigaraki, you need:
- All For One Cells
- 5 Darkness Fragments
- 25 Soul Shards
All of these drop from the Shigaraki boss.
Spawning Shigaraki
You must craft the Darkness Spirit at the Craft NPC.
This item unlocks the Shigaraki fight.
Shigaraki Boss Details
- 3,000,000 HP
- Hits extremely hard for early players
- Intended for group farming
- Drops:
- Required crafting items
- Several accessories
- Shigaraki title (20% damage buff)
If you are struggling, run a cooldown-focused build or bring 2–3 players.
How to Unlock Deku / One For All
Deku has two stages:
- Base One For All
- Complete One For All
Step 1 — Unlock Base One For All
Talk to All Might in Rogue Town and complete his two mini-quests.
Once you finish them, you unlock base OFA.
Base OFA is extremely weak, so don’t stop here.
Step 2 — Unlock Complete One For All
Now talk to Deku, also in Rogue Town.
He will give additional quests which fully unlock the true Deku skillset.
This questline is longer and more tedious than Shigaraki’s path, but necessary if you want all moves.
Deku Boss & Farming Notes
You cannot “farm Deku” directly—this power is entirely quest driven.
Shigaraki – Showcase & Power Breakdown
Shigaraki comes with:
- A legendary-rarity moveset
- Decay-themed AoE effects
- A 20% damage title (very useful across all builds)
Strengths
- Good AoE for new players
- Straightforward combos
- Scales respectably with pure damage builds
- Title is a strong boost for any power set
Weaknesses
- Damage falls behind the higher-tier metas
- Slow compared to modern movement-focused skillsets
- Poor mobility during long cooldowns
Performance Summary
Good for:
- New players
- Farming mobs
- Players who want a simple damage kit
Falls off compared to:
- Sid
- Kizaru
- Guts
- Shinra
- Gear 5
- Gravity
- Endgame mythical kits
If you want a starter legendary, Shigaraki works. If you want a top meta DPS, he is not it.
Deku – Showcase & Power Breakdown
Deku’s kit includes:
- A stat-boosting mode (V)
- Movement + power combos
- Detroit Smash (Z)
- Additional punches and OFA shockwaves
- Special move unlocked only in mode (F)
Strengths
- Fun animations
- Responsive movement
- Two Detroit Smashes can be used within a single cooldown cycle using:
- 20% cooldown traits
- Time Sharpness relic
- Cooldown build
Weaknesses
- Surprisingly low damage
- Long quest line despite mediocre power
- No title
- Not competitive compared to top-rarity abilities
- Overall output feels “muted” despite visuals
Performance Summary
Deku is currently not worth the grind unless:
- You want the effects
- You’re a My Hero fan
- You want mobility over raw damage
Expect him to be buffed soon—the community widely agrees his numbers are too low.
Best Builds for Each Power
Shigaraki Damage Build
Focus: maximize his decay ticks + flat damage.
Recommended:
- Full damage traits
- 20% damage title
- Accessories with:
- Damage %
- Cooldown reduction
- Special move power
- Enchant priorities:
- Damage → Crit → Cooldown
This build makes his weaker scaling more tolerable and improves AoE consistency.
Deku Cooldown Combo Build
Focus: double Detroit Smash + mode uptime.
Recommended:
- 20% cooldown trait
- Time Sharpness relic
- Accessories with:
- Cooldown reduction
- Special damage boost
- Keep mode active for:
- Increased power
- Access to F move
This is Deku’s only way to feel fluid enough for midgame.
Is Shigaraki or Deku Better?
| Power | Strength | Weakness | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shigaraki | Strong title, solid AoE, great starter legendary | Not meta, mid scaling | New players, grinders |
| Deku | Good mobility, fun animations | Extremely low damage, needs buffs | MHA fans, cooldown-based builds |
Winner: Shigaraki
Even though his numbers are not top-tier, Shigaraki is still more reliable and more consistent than Deku.
Extra Tips
For Fast Shigaraki Farming:
- Bring 3+ players
- Use cooldown builds
- Keep dash movement active to avoid wipe combos
- Use relics or traits that boost survivability if soloing
For Deku’s Quest Line:
- Complete All Might’s quests immediately
- Keep movement relics
- Save a cooldown accessory for Detroit Smash spam
This update adds fun content but both mythics fall short of top-tier expectations. Shigaraki is a solid legendary alternative. Deku is visually amazing but underpowered at release and almost certainly getting buffs.
