What is the point of Toga's transformation ability?

[Firefly]

I don't really know why you would want to transform into someone else. Do you get any bonuses for doing so, such as extra HP or damage or something I'm not understanding? It feels like you would just pick those characters (assuming you have them), and that taking their forms isn't the most useful thing as a concept. Is there something I'm missing?

exactly how i feel

situational usefulness, lets say u face a deku or bakugo, tranforming into them can give u a nice advantage cause u gett all fo their skills with max charges ready so you can unload all skills and then just transform back.....

also u not only become that characters but u literally camouflage yourself as that player

so lets say u transform into me when i play momo, u just look like ME(including my playername and u will just look like an ally to my teammates), so if we stand next to each other, without attacking, they wouldnt know who is the real me

i noticed that when a enemy toga tranformed into deku, i literally had 2 dekus in front of me and i couldnt tell them apart so i just tried to slap both to figure out who was the impostor

so in big battles it has a nice use when enemy team isnt that aware cause u wouldnt expect to get pummeled by your ally all of the sudden

Well in teamfight it could very useful because when u transforms into someone elses, it makes you a part of another team and enemy team actually see you as their teamate, it can be really annoying for enemy team and will give you a better chance to attack them or takes their time to understand who is who while ur team is melting them (also ur team just see u as their teamate but in transformed status). But usually this ability is useless, very specific method of playing i could say

agreed but pretty neat cause i had quite a lot of enemies ignoring me cause i actually went with them to chase one of my mates just to stab them in the back which can be pretty fun

also like to transform into certain characters when im at the disadvtange, lets say bakugo, to retreat real fast...

Transforming makes you appear to be part of the team of the character you tranformed into. Transforming into the right character at the right time takes a lot of knowledge and situational awareness. She also get her transform really fast at the beginning of the game and can use other character's specials before they are even ready to use them themselves, like mt.lady for example. Another example would transforming into a character with a revive and using it on your downed ally.

Ty to all of the above information. I see the value in her transform now, especially this idea of using someone's healing abilities. As far as I know the only healer is Shiozaki right?

[GRIS]

it's so you can have two bakugos

[sly cooper]

I know it's an old post, but why did no one mention that you can steal someone's plus ultra? Gotta be one of my favorite things to do as toga.

[2cide]

now that we're here. It resets cool downs and is easy to be exploited.

mostly helps her avoid bad matchups [that she doesnt have]

[BAKillington]

I don't play toga, but I've seen how annoying she can be when she transforms. she can use it to mask herself as a teammate. I've attacked my own teammate before trying to figure out which one was the real one. She can also use it to escape if she mimics froppy or iida, or pick up down opponents if she transforms to froppy, iida, deku, or all might.

Someone said situational which is pretty accurate, but it's very versatile outside looking in.

[indigonightsky]

I use it to steal shiozaki, cementoss, tsu, midoriya, iida, all might and mt lady blood mostly. For most of those chars, you have revive options (tsu in particular is really good because shes also mobile and her revive is super quick). If you steal a Mt Lady's blood in the opening seconds of the game, you can use her special ability (gigantification) before she can because it has a cooldown which charges from the start. Otherwise i just use it constantly without using the blood for extra damage because most chars I'm not super familiar with, or might use it on an uraraka for extra mobility (extra useful if the person i stole it from has a lvl 9 beta skill which is super destructive)

Togas transform is so op if you know how to use it.

Need to chase/escape? Copy a Rapid hero (blue class) and use their mobility.
Teammate down? copy Cementoss/Ibara/Tsui and get them up immediately.

It can even be useful to transform into another Toga just to (basicially) reset your cooldowns like i did here: https://streamable.com/spir2l

Removed Audio because i was in VC with my teammates.
