Hero Ranks, Superpowers, and the New Loot System

One of the biggest changes this season is the introduction of Superhero Ranks. At the start of each match, you begin at Rank C. As you gain eliminations, survive storm phases, and collect sprites, you level up through B, A, S, and finally S+ tier.

Each time you level up, you gain 100 bonus health and unlock access to Ranked loot caches scattered across the map. These caches are color-coded by rarity—Rare (B), Epic (A), Legendary (S)—and if you hit S+, you receive every superpower in the game.

Superpowers, now called boons, come in four forms:

Heightened Sense: Marks players who attack you
Speed Healer: Gives Slap effect while sprinting and healing
Stormcaller: Grants shield in the storm and forecasts zones
Combat Acrobat: Reloads your weapon every time you parkour

These powers scale with your rank and make you feel like a true superhero by the end of the match.

All-New Hero Weapons and Mythics

Every major hero in the Supernova Academy has their own unique item, and these are scattered across the map in caches and Tech Labs:

Morgan Mist: Mist Gauntlets – fires a cone of shadow energy
Kill Switch: Tracking Visor and Dual Revolvers – mark enemies and enter slow-motion during mid-air fire
Synthwave: Bass Boost – use bass jump for mobility or bass wave to knock enemies away
Superman: Mythic Laser Eyes (coming soon), but you can already test it via Superman Sprites

New weapons also include the Spire Rifle and Deadeye DMR, both with mythic versions dropped by bosses like Daigo and Core.

Bosses, POIs, and Sprite Mechanics

The season introduces three key POIs:

Supernova Academy: The main training ground for heroes, filled with loot and the new rank system
Demon’s Domain: A corrupted fortress ruled by Daigo, featuring multi-phase boss fights and elite mythic drops
Utopia City: A massive futuristic urban hub hiding secrets, clubs, and portals

New sprites function as item pickups that give you powers. For example, Superman Sprites let you use laser vision, while Dash Sprites provide dashes for your entire squad. Expect more types to arrive throughout the season.

Mini-boss fights now occur at Overlord Spires, where you can earn hero rank XP and even get exotic loot like:

Unstable Yoink Shotgun: Pulls enemies toward you
Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol: Shockwave blast on first and final shots
Frostfire Shotgun: Applies random movement effects

Battle Pass: Heroes, DC Crossovers, and Memes

The Battle Pass this season is stacked with both original Fortnite heroes and major crossovers. Notable skins include:

Robin (DC): Tier 1 unlock with a Red Robin alt
Superman (DC): Secret skin available early via bundle
Haley Sky: Cheerleader turned Hulk-like Storm Beast
Ziggy: Meme skin based on Suntan Specialist
Synthwave: Music-powered hero with dual forms
Kill Switch: Precision shooter with signature pistols
Light Rider: Reboot-themed surfer, power coming soon
Morgan Mist: Tier 100 villain-in-training

Epic is also revamping the pet system. Companions will now follow you on the battlefield, starting with Krypto the Dog from Superman’s lore.
