Pros

- All moves can hit grounded opponents.
- Ultimate fries health
- Huge base moveset combo potential.
- Infernal Burn is a long-range move.
- Burn effect can really mess with unexperienced players
- Great for teamers because of the AOE moves: Ember Eruption and Infernal Burn, as well as Azure grab and Ember Assault, which separates the team
- Ultimate moves have good range and AoE
- Great combo potential, and moves have low cooldowns
Cons
- Infernal Burn’s knockback varies from player to player, depending on their latency.
- Peaking Scorch doesn't bypass block.
- Base Moveset does not deal much damage, making it rely highly on skill chains, combos, and I.W.O.
- Not easy for beginners to use but can be good for basic combos.
- Blocking easily punishes Ember Assault.
- Ember Assault ragdolls when directed into an I.W.O.
- Ember Eruption can be interrupted

Azure Burst
If the player does a finisher, the player's fists are engulfed in blue flames for a short period of time, increasing the M1 damage. With the passive, the player does 25% damage in total (including burn damage).
For some odd reason, it also increases the distance covered with Ember Assault.
Like every character, upon killing another player or dummy, the cooldowns for all moves will reset.
Trivia
- Azure Grab was the first ever move to be remade entirely.
- It used to be Azure Burst, which would have given you your passive, Azure Fists, for a long period of time.
- Azure Burst is still obtainable by giving a random moveset or by a moveset block in Private Server +.
- Infernal Burn was also completely reworked, from being a short-range AOE combo extender to a long-range AOE move. It also used to be called Jet Burn.
- Infernal Burn Old is still obtainable by giving a random moveset or by a moveset block in Private Server +.
- Dabi is Todoroki's (Split Ice) brother, meaning this is the first ever battlegrounds game to introduce siblings as playable characters.
- Dabi has the shortest cutscene animation out of all the characters.
- Dabi's "PEAKING SCORCH" Is based on his version of "PROMINENCE BURN". "PEAKING SCORCH" also used to be called "PROMINENCE BURN".
- The "X" on Dabi's ultimate aura is a reference to when he copied Shoto's (Split Ice) "Phosphor" Technique.
- When Dabi's quirk awakened during his fight with his family, he gained access to his mum's quirk, which is ice. This is referenced in Dabi's second ultimate move: Frostflame Eruption.
