Guide Dragon Ball 2017

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is the first Dragon Ball game released in the current gen/ 8th generation consoles. The game still revolves on the original Dragon Ball universe but now with a significant participation of the player. History is being distorted and is bound to change forever unless something is done to fix the anomalies. After being summoned by the legendary dragon Shenron, the player takes the role of a Time Patroller with the help of Trunks. Players can create their own characters based on the game's five prominent warrior races, and fight off various characters from the game's storyline. 

Welcome to Supercheat's unofficial guide for Dragon Ball Xenoverse. The game is supposedly multi-platform but we'll be using the PS4 version of the game in this guide. This is a work in progress, any updates will be added real-time so don't forget to subscribe for notifications. Use the panel on the right-hand side of the screen to navigate the guide.

COMBAT

The game offers a user-friendly tutorial about the game's combat system. You can review the tutorials by talking to the robot named Garid near the Time Nest entrance. Also, the actual buttons in the illustrated tutorials will vary depending on the controller type layout you selected. (The screenshots below use Type C) 

Note: You don't need to keep holding X to boost; once your character is boosting forward, just steer him/her to the direction you want. He /she will only stop after you let go of the stick. 

This is a very important control that you'll apply on every battle. Unlike most fighting games, battles in DBXV are fast-paced and happens mostly while flying. It will be hard to connect your attacks if you don't lock on to your intended target. This also allows you to home in on an opponent easily when boosting. 

Attacks 

Weak attacks are quick but don't deal that much damage. They're perfect for opening combos where you can connect strong attacks, and eventually, Super Attacks. Combos ending with Strong attacks have a solid knockback effect. 

Ordinary Ki blasts are not primarily used for dealing damage but to harass opponents or stop them on their tracks. However, Ki Blast adepts like the Frieza race can excel in using Ki Blasts as a primary attack method. 

As the game describes, throws are effective in taking care of blocking enemies and a knockback attack will usually throw the opponent off guard, allowing you to use a boost-combo follow up. 

Guarding 

Blocking enemy attacks is the basic way of protecting yourself from damage. This requires Stamina to use. Just Guard is like the "Perfect Guard" on most games. This is a bit difficult to time but if you did, you'll not only stun your enemy but also gain one bar of Ki to counterattack with heavy damage. 

Counterattacking 

Vanishing requires two stamina bars to execute when taking damage from an enemy attack or one bar when you're guarding. This move allows you to teleport behind your enemy to counterattack while avoiding further damage at the same time. Take note that the opponent can also vanish in response to your vanish, while you can do it the second time and so on. Usually, you can do two consecutive Vanishes so use this sparingly. 

Overpowering a Guarding enemy

Charge attacks are slow but if they connect, they'll crush the enemy's Guard, leaving them open for follow up attacks. You can also use Vanish offensively to circle around the enemy and attack him/her from behind. 

Super Attacks

Most Super Attacks need Ki to use. It's advised to use Super Attacks after landing a combo of basic attacks, to have a higher chance to connect. You can freely change what Super Attacks assigned in each button by accessing Customize > Skills in your menu. 

Ultimate Attacks and Evasive Skills 

You can have two Ultimate Attacks. You can learn new Ultimate Attacks by completing Parallel Quests or learning them from Masters. Ultimate attacks deal more damage obviously but they require more Ki. (About 3 times more than ordinary Super Attacks) 

In the other hand, characters can only have one Evasive Skill. This is the best defensive skill you can trigger, at a cost of more stamina. Consider using this only during emergencies or when you're really in a bind. 

BATTLE ITEMS

You can use items in battle to recover your health, stamina, Ki, or recovery. Sometimes there are quests with multiple scenarios and even more enemies. You can get items as quest rewards, gifts from NPCs, or just simply buying them from stores. 

You can also "Mix" material items to create new items through the Mixing Shops available in Toki Toki City. After successfully mixing an item, you can now create it moving forward by selecting the recipe instead of selecting the ingredients manually. 

CUSTOM CHARACTER

You'll start off with only one character slot. You'll unlock the remaining slots after completing all the main story quests / sagas. 

After fighting through the prologue battles, you'll have to create your own character. Shenron will be talking to You can select one of the five races. For more information about each race, refer to the dedicated pages for each race on this guide. 

After selecting your race, you'll select your character's gender. (If applicable) The following screen will allow you to further costumize your character's appearance, name and voice. One more selection you need before starting the game is selecting your starter skills based on your style. For starters, it's recommended to select the balanced layout.

ATTRIBUTES

You'll be fighting almost all the time to progress in DBXV and your Combat experience may be affected by several factors like your Custom Character's race, gender, equipment, skill sets, etc. However, one thing is certain; you have to know know the major points of the combat system and how to improve them based on your fighting style. 

First, let's discuss the attributes or stats. There are six attributes in the game: 

Health

Ki

Stamina

Basic Attacks

Strike Supers

Ki Blast Supers

When you're creating your character, the race and gender you selected may affect your initial stats. These stats can be further increased by spending Skill Points. You get 3 SP per level up. If you're having problems defeating an enemy, try leveling up, getting better equipment that augments your powerful stats, and get more powerful skills. 

Health

This is the overall health of the fighters in the game. The higher the health, the more damage a character can take before having the need to use a recovery item. Most of the time, getting depleted completely will result to a failure in a mission. If you have allies however, you'll only get knocked out . Your allies can revive you to get you back on your feet with a portion of HP left. You can still provide unique assists to them while knocked down; you just need to lock on to your nearest ally and press Circle. You can also revive your allies if needed. 

Ki 

Ki is the fighter's energy. This allows him/her to use powerful attacks such as Ki Blasts (projectile or energy beam attacks), Strikes (powerful melee attacks and combos), and Ultimate Attacks (special moves that deal heavy damage). Ki is essential to every fighter. Some races are adept in using Ki Blasts while others use Ki to perform melee strikes. Ki recovers a bit over time but it recovers faster if you're attacking. 

Stamina 

Stamina is the gauge below the Ki gauge. This allows you to use "Vanish" or a teleport move that will take you behind your opponent. This can be used if you're caught in an enemy's combo or during your own combo to strike the enemy from behind. This gauge also determines the strength of your guard. If your stamina is low and you endured further attacks while guarding, you'll experience "Guard Break" which will stun your character temporarily, leaving you open for further attacks. Stamina recovers automatically over time. The higher your stamina, the more you times you can use Vanish or the longer you can hold your guard. Evasive Skills (skills used to escape an enemy barrage or interrupt their movements) also use Stamina. 

Basic Attacks 

These are your normal attacks. You need to land these attacks to build up Ki and of course to leave your opponent's guard open through combos. Fluid combos will allow you to connect your skill attacks, especially more powerful Super Attacks. 

Strike Supers 

Strike Supers are powerful skills that execute ferocious combos or solid, powerful strikes. Races like Saiyans are adept with Strike Supers. Since they have to be executed at close range in order to make them land, players need to unleash a flurry of basic attacks before using Strike Supers to effectively deal damage. 

Ki Blast Supers 

Ki Blast Supers are the energy projectile / beam counterpart of Strike Supers. Ki Blast Supers excel in damage and range, capable of hitting enemies at long range.
