The new Dragon Ball game, Dragon Ball Legends, is having a great success after the release of a few weeks ago and has convinced both fans of the famous cartoon series, and lovers of beating games, that with the Saiyans and their powers will find a way to let off steam in a domineering way. Dragon Ball Legends is an absurd beating, action and strategy game where you fight using your fingers on the screen for the chosen character, to dodge the incoming shots and launch a series of basic attacks.
A well done dodge will launch a counterattack and, on the rare occasion when two hits hit simultaneously, a score will decide which one will come out.
Each character has its own special powers, to be used as attack cards, visible at the bottom of the screen.
There are ranged attack cards, for melee attacks and special ones, which used in succession can trigger a powerful combo.
The games are quick and played entirely with one hand, so it's perfect for playing whenever you want.
The game features the original characters from the cartoon and comics of Dragon Ball, with Goku, Vegeta, Junior and even the bad Freeza and Nappa.
Although it features a story mode, the main game mode is PvP like Clash Royale, entering online games against players from all over the world .
Below, since I had a little fun on this game, let's see how to play Dragon Ball Legends, which can be downloaded for free on Android and iPhone smartphones, to be more competitive, unlock the characters and win the fights against other players .
Unlock characters
Unfortunately, it's not possible to choose from all Dragon Ball characters and instead you have to unlock them in various ways, especially with the evocation or advancement in the story.
The Summon system is the primary way to get new characters.
It is a random mechanism that requires you to spend Chrono Crystals (Dragon Ball Legends' premium currency) to unlock one of the game's many characters.
Every day a discount will be given on the first Summon, with the price of only 20 Crystals.
Otherwise, 100 Crystals must be spent on the Summoning. Although duplicates can be released, these are also useful as they update the Z power levels of existing characters (more because it's important later).
The other option to unlock characters is by completing missions in the story, where you can get rewards.
These time-limited quests usually reward small amounts of Z Power for a specific event-related character.
These missions are generally very simple. for example "fight using a specific character 10 times", so be sure to check the list to try to unlock as many as possible.
Best Characters - Rarities and Types
If you are lucky, you can immediately unlock Goku, the hero of the series, or Vegeta, the powerful Prince of the Saiyans, but deploying the main characters is not enough to win.
While traditionally more powerful characters from Dragon Ball are usually the best to use in Legends, two variables need to be considered: rarity and types.
For example, there are four different variations of Goku in Dragon Ball Legends, each based on a different part of the Dragon Ball saga.
Two of these have powers and abilities from the Freeza series, the other two from the Super Saiyan saga.
Each of them has special abilities, who has it at a distance, who have blast attacks or a better defense.
So going to make up a team of fighters, you have to balance your skills to be more competitive.
In general, you should aim for a balance between the four types of fighter in the six-person team and not just use Hero rarity characters that are the most common and weakest.
Extreme characters aren't as strong as the Sparking variants, but they have enough base strength to become useful when leveled and empowered.
Characteristics of fighters
- Story EXP : it is the experience that grows when you complete a phase of the story.
- EXP Training : these are points that grow in the Training menu, training.
Using weights in training increases this experience and then you can use time-limited training.
- Limit Breaks : is the Z power obtained from the summons or from the prizes of the story to increase the overall power of a character, indicated by the stars.
You can have up to 7 stars.
- Soul Boost : you can upgrade a character by unlocking the new Boost Panels in the Soul Boost tab.
These are minor updates to individual stats like Health, Attack and Explosion Defense.
- Class Up / Boost Cores : once a certain number of Boost Panels has been unlocked, a Boost Core can be activated (called Class Up on the Soul Boost card).
This increases the character's maximum level and opens new, more powerful, upgrade panels.
Equipment: these are items that are obtained by completing missions.
The last variable of Dragon Ball Legends launches are the Elements, essential to win the battles.
Each character has a specific element that is easily recognizable by a color: Red, Yellow, Purple, Green and Blue.
It is therefore played as a Chinese Morra, with a color that beats another but loses with yet another
The two wildcard characters are the two special elements: dark and light: dark is strong against all five basic elements, while light is strong against dark.
A good mix of elements when fighting is therefore essential to be able to fight the opponent.
Fortunately, it is not necessary to remember who wins among the various colors, because it is indicated on the screen.
How to win online PvP battles
Once you've done the right training and assembled a powerful team, you can play against other players online in Dragon Ball Legends.
As you might expect, fighting a real person in real time is much more difficult than facing an opponent in Story or Event mode.
Matchmaking is currently a bit uncertain in Legends, and trying to beat a higher level opponent is usually impossible.
Regardless, certain tactics and tricks can change the course of a fight :
- Waiting for an opponent to open without going against him in the first second of the game is the best way to avoid being beaten immediately.
- Swiping left or right when an attack is about to hit (indicated by an exclamation point) makes the so-called Escape Pass and you are teleported to the side of your enemy leaving them exposed to a counterattack.
Keep in mind that you can't dodge forever, as the Vanishing Steps get smaller every time and you have to keep an eye on them.
- Watch the Ki to reload it when the opponent is stunned by holding down the button on the screen.
The key to victory is to carefully manage the Ki, never exhausting it by looking for combos.
The best strategy is to put chain attacks together only when you are sure you are going to give the coup de grace.
In general it is a fun game, with a very accurate graphics that excellently expresses the power of the characters of Dragon Ball.
Like all the games made of scores and refills, to win it takes patience, training and taking one step at a time without overdoing it.
