Is ITAMI a battlegrounds game or an RPG?+
ITAMI is a full RPG with individual player progression — NOT a battlegrounds game. The developer stated: "games an rpg not a battlegrounds." It features quest boards, Hero/Villain exams, instanced missions, raids, and invasions.
Is ITAMI an official My Hero Academia game?+
No — ITAMI is a fan-made Roblox game inspired by MHA (and also Hajime no Ippo and Kengan Ashura). The official MHA Roblox game is "My Hero Academia: Ultimate".
How many Quirks will ITAMI have at launch?+
Approximately 32 Quirks are planned for launch — developer crispy confirmed "There's 31 other quirks buddy" alongside OFA, totaling ~32. Confirmed Mythic: One For All (Deku path), One For All (All Might path), Half Hot Half Cold (Todoroki). Confirmed Legendary: Hell Flame, Explosion, Cremation (Dabi). Additional confirmed Quirks include Muscle Augmentation, Washing Machine, Window Cleaner, Electrification, Dark Shadow, Blood Control, Pop Off, and Gigantification among others.
Will All For One (AFO) be in ITAMI?+
No — the developer (FreshThingInnit) confirmed: "NO we're not adding AFO." Quirk evolution is also planned as a post-launch feature (fresh, Feb 2026): "We're gonna add quirk evolutions later down the line." Decay (Shigaraki) is not at launch. Note: One For All is a rollable Quirk — NOT a specialization class — confirmed by developer crispy.
Does One For All have different versions?+
Yes — One For All has two separate Mythic-tier versions: a Deku path and an All Might path, each with a distinct playstyle. Both are the rarest Quirks in the game.
How do I get Quirks?+
Quirks are obtained by spinning (gacha system) using in-game Cash. You can also reroll at the hospital NPC. Codes do NOT give quirk rerolls — confirmed by staff.
How hard is it to unlock Awakening?+
Very hard. The developer confirmed: "Awakening will be extremely hard to obtain as it has multiple questlines and stages." To awaken your Quirk, you must face and defeat your Inner Self in the Void of your Mind — an AI opponent that learns and copies your playstyle.
What is the Inner Self / Void mechanic?+
When you progress toward Quirk Awakening, an Inner Self version of you is created in the Void of your Mind. This AI opponent analyzes your combat inputs — how often you use skills, how you dash, whether you play passively or aggressively — and mirrors your style. You must defeat it to unlock your Awakening.
Will there be codes?+
Yes — a Codes button is visible in the UI. No codes have been released pre-launch. Codes will NOT be used for Quirk rerolls (confirmed by staff). Community intel suggests you need the "First Class" rank (part of the Trainee Hunter → Amateur → Junior → First Class Hunter rank ladder) before you can redeem codes in-game. Codes may reward spins, Cash, or cosmetic items.
Where is the ITAMI Discord?+
The official Discord is at discord.gg/itami — the main source for sneak peeks, codes, and developer updates.
What is True Stun Combat?+
Hitting an opponent with M1 causes a brief True Stun, preventing them from moving or blocking during your combo. The developer confirmed the system will be "very very very balanced" with an anti-gank system for PvE.
How does stat progression work?+
ITAMI uses a stat point system across Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Quirk Control. Stats have softcaps and hardcaps. Early game uses gym training, but mid/late game progression comes through quest boards, Hero/Villain exams, instanced missions, raids, and invasions — NOT just grinding the gym.
Can I be both Hero and Villain?+
No — you choose one path. Each path has its own exam quest line, badge (Official Hero / Official Villain), instanced missions, and story progression.
What is the best Quirk?+
One For All (both paths) is rated S-tier and the hardest to obtain (Mythic rarity). Half Hot Half Cold (Todoroki) is also Mythic. For beginners, Electric Shock is the most forgiving. Check our Tier List for full rankings.
What is the Secondary Quirk System?+
ITAMI has a primary and secondary Quirk slot system. FreshThingInnit confirmed (Feb 2026): "You'll be able to have secondary quirks to accumulate passives." The secondary Quirk system is designed to help balance Common Quirks against rarer ones, giving all rarities a meaningful role in builds.
What are Affinity Stats?+
Affinity Stats are a separate stat mechanic distinct from the four base stats (Strength, Speed, Stamina, Quirk Control). FreshThingInnit confirmed (Feb 2026): "Affinity stats r something different than base stats. It is its own mechanic to help diversify builds." Full details will be available at launch.
What is the Gadget System? Can I play without a Quirk?+
Yes — a quirkless playstyle is confirmed viable in ITAMI. Gadgets add additional skills and passive stats (similar to fighting styles but separate). Developer lillpainless confirmed the gadget system enables a "quirkless" build using gadgets + a fighting style instead of a Quirk. This is an intentional design choice to support non-Quirk builds.
