Bomb Hero

Bomb Hero is a battle game where heroes light explosive squares, collect diamonds and use blasts and skills to defeat opposing heroes. You run across the map, avoid squares lit by opponents and try to set up explosions that catch them. Squares you light do not harm you, but opponents’ squares can kill you, as can the flames from an explosion.

Heroes and skills

The game has many heroes, though only six are currently released. Heroes have different strengths: some are better at lighting squares, some at killing enemies and others at supporting teammates. You can fight alone, but the game places more emphasis on cooperation between heroes.

After gaining experience from explosions, you reach level 3 and can choose how to distribute upgrades across three skills. Some skills light squares, while others target enemy heroes: you can use control skills when an opponent is standing on, or close to, a square you lit, then wait for it to explode.

The six heroes

• The master and Pascal: Their first and third skills both light squares. When their ultimate abilities are fully charged, they can reach a range of 5 × 5. They are better suited to lighting dice than other heroes, and their high health also makes them useful as defenders who recharge at charging points.
• Vulcan’s young son and mechanical puppet: These heroes lack large-area ignition skills but have detonation skills, making them assassins who can kill enemies with instant detonations. Vulcan’s young son can use his ultimate, the fire wheel, to instantly detonate unlit dice.
• Cannibal flower and bear mushroom fairy: These heroes focus on control skills. Cannibal flower has two stun skills that can repeatedly stun an enemy if their cooldowns are short enough, but has limited attack and ignition ability and is better suited to support. Bear mushroom fairy relies mainly on its first skill to flash around the map; at skill level 4, it can keep flashing across the map and stunning enemies. It can then light a group of dice and snatch them while flashing, though it also stuns itself and cannot move.
