New Hero Mythics in Fortnite Super

The Supernova Academy students are equipped not just with style, but with powerful Hero Items. You don’t need to wear a specific outfit to utilize these tools, which can be acquired from Hero Caches, Academy Tech Labs, or various locations on the Island.

Myst Gauntlets Fortnite Super

Take Morgan Myst’s Myst Gauntlets, for instance. They unleash a cone of shadow energy causing significant damage. Here are more Hero arsenal highlights:

  • Killswitch Revolvers: Dual pistols enabling cinematic action. Dodge fire and unleash Hangtime for superior accuracy.
  • Tracking Visor: A high-tech gadget for battlefield scanning that pings nearby enemies.
  • Bass Boost: Emits a sound wave that disrupts structures and damages opponents. Secondary fire can launch you skyward!
  • Surf Cube (available later this Season): A Cube-matter surfboard for speedy transportation.
  • Storm Beast’s Pom Poms (coming later this Season): Transform into a Storm Beast for high-impact attacks.

Tech Lab & Extra Arsenal: Expand Your Super Toolkit

Whether you are hunting for Hero Items or trying experimental firepower, Supernova Academy’s Tech Labs have all the resources to confront Daigo and his minions. Explore labs unlocked by your Hero Rank, purchasing gear with Bars, and be on the lookout for new labs appearing throughout the Season.

Hero Labs & Krypto’s Cosmic Chaos

In the Academy Tech Lab, you can access powerful Hero Items—some even secret—based on your current Hero Rank. If you’re searching for gear like the Myst Gauntlets, this is where you want to be.

Plus, throw a Krypto Treat to summon Superman’s super dog! Krypto will land with an explosive strike, inflicting area damage on nearby enemies.

Extra Equipment & Unstable Exotics

From grapples to powerful gadgets, here’s what’s new in Fortnite Chapter 6 Super Season:

  • Robin’s Grapnel Gun: Extended range makes it perfect for quick escapes or dramatic entrances.
  • Spire Rifle: This new LMG boasts a large magazine and increases damage to structures.
  • Hyperburst Pistol: Fires tight three-round bursts for close to medium-range damage.
  • Deadeye DMR: A precision rifle capable of cracking shields from great distances.

If that isn’t wild enough, check out these Unstable Exotics:

  • Unstable Yoink Shotgun: The first shot from a full clip pulls enemies towards you.
  • Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol: Initial and final shots trigger a shockwave at impact.
  • Unstable Frostfire Shotgun: Applies either a speed boost or slows down your target, mysteriously dependent on its mood.

These experimental weapons can only be found in Rank S Hero Caches or Tech Labs. So focus on climbing those ranks!

Power Up with New Fortnite Boons and Sprites

In your quest to save the Island, sheer firepower isn’t always the answer. Boons and Sprites provide unique buffs and utility that align with your Fortnite Super Hero Rank. Need to tank storm damage or reload mid-parkour? There’s a Boon and Sprite for that!

Fortnite Super Boons

Boons can be picked up from Chests or bought from Academy Tech Labs, and they level up as you do. Once you hit Rank S, many Boons provide enhanced bonuses!

  • Storm Caller Boon: Grants shield while in the Storm, scaling with Hero Rank, and at Rank S, you gain built-in Storm Forecast.
  • Speed Healer Boon: Allows you to heal while running! At Rank S, you gain instant speed boost effects.
  • Combat Acrobat Boon: Reloads your weapon while parkouring with increased ammo for each Hero Rank. At Rank S, all weapons reload!
  • Heightened Senses Boon: Mark enemies who damage you with auto-marking and shorten cooldown times at higher ranks.

Carefully picking Boons to complement your playstyle can dramatically influence the outcome of your fights, especially during those critical closing circles.

Sprites: Mythical Fortnite Sidekicks

Welcoming back Sprites, but this time, they’re even more heroic:

  • Dash Sprite: This little helper creates a zone that regenerates Dash charges over time, perfect for fast-paced movements or the great escape.
  • Superman Sprite: Replacing the Air Sprite, it unleashes a massive laser beam that obliterates anything in its path.

Keep your eyes peeled for these Sprites; their timely use can change the tide of battle.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Super Bosses

The nefarious Daigo the Mask Maker has returned, corrupted by dark magic and draining the Island’s energy. You’ll find him at Demon’s Domain; sharpen your skills and gather top-tier loot before confronting him. Defeating Daigo yields the Mythic Enhanced Spire Rifle and Infernal Defenses Medallion, which boosts reload speed and grants shield regeneration. Be cautious, though—carrying Medallions makes you visible on enemy mini-maps!

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Daigo boss

Compete against Kor, Daigo’s lethal second-in-command, who has taken over the domain of Shogun X. Using her Mythic Deadeye DMR, she can deal significant damage from a distance. Take her down to earn the DMR and the Shrouded Striker Medallion, temporarily granting invisibility on sprint jumps.
