How does the recruiting patrollers thing work anyway? I'm in offline mode, I walk up to a patroller, I hit A and nothing happens. I can't target them or anything. The in-game tutorial just says talk to them.

Try hitting Y while targeting them, that will show their stats. Not sure about recruiting

I think you press select / back? You get to see their stats, and then it'll say "Hire this person for 0z" or "Hire this person for 3000z"

Saiyan only. It's the exact same thing as Super Saiyan, but with the damage bonus going to Ki Blast instead of Strike. And with a slightly different animation when you activate.

"Super Vegeta" should really be called "Super Saiyan - Kai Flavor"

It is SSJ1 and you can't use it if not Saiyan.

Have fun with Kaioken x20, you non-saiyans :goku: Saiyan master race.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Just a few thoughts- to preface, I loving love this game, but a few items needed a little bit of polish or further explanation.

- What the gently caress do the little arrows on gear represent? 1 point? 2 points? 10 points? I have no idea. If it's ever explained, I missed it.

- On the gear side, why do Namekians/Frieza/Buu people get dedicated customizable gear and nobody else? I may be missing it, but I don't think there's any customizable Ki Super gear. Even the Time Patroller stuff you get is Strike Supers. Ki Supers get the shaft on a lot of stuff.. but then again, I don't know what arrows mean, so does it even matter? Oh well, back to my boring color-locked Goku GT Gi.. :(

- If I Z-rank a PQ on my first try, I should get something for it. Z-rank should be the unlock for certain items or skills. Leave some crap to the RNG Gods, but give out some kind of reward for Z-rank!

- Hit detection and avoidance should work either work differently for the player, or work the same for you as it does your computer opponents. I can't even count the number of times the glare of a Final Flash hasn't even faded away and I've got 3 Saiyans standing in the middle of it all punching me in the head. Also, I loving hate that group fights are generally reduced to me stunlocked in a corner made of invisible walls getting gang-banged by Kamehamehas with zero options for escape.

- Why the hell are Battle Items locked to your ACCOUNT and not your CHARACTER? My level 65 dude and my level 12 dude aren't going to be taking the same poo poo into a fight. It's tedious to switch it out every time I feel like playing somebody different. Hell, even locking it to a Preset would be a good change.

Its not a big deal since you get to share skills earned across characters, it just means you can only really work at one at a time is all.

I think PQ6 is one of the ones where you have to protect Nappa, or make sure he stays alive. So it's probably the one-off Mission from him.

So I have to find it as a quest from Nappa in Toki Toki City? I'm surprised that I haven't seen him yet since its such an early PQ and I'm finished with the story.

For me he was right across the plaza from the Battle Reception hut, closer to the time machine parking lot. I don't know if that's randomized.

Also, x100 Big Bang Kamehameha is a total garbage move. The damage isn't much better, if at all, than other ultimates but there's a period before the move fires where people can move out of the way of your beam meaning you'll rarely hit.

God Bless the Enclave! God Bless America!
Apologies for all the stupid newbie questions today, I'm stuck at work with nothing better to do but come up with different Xenoverse builds for my male human.

Some guys on Gamefaqs/Reddit did some number crunching and came up with the figure that Kaioken x3 increases blast damage by about 15%. Kaioken x20 does the same thing but allows for the unlimited use of vanish and evasion which is huge for a Ki-blast based character. "It's like a Super Saiyan bargain sale..." Z-Soul says it increases transformation time and add stamina regen. Has anyone tested to see if this Zsoul works with Kaioken to extend the duration?

PVE is what I was referring to, it's vastly inferior to anything that'll instantly lock someone infront of you for some damage, even if it's slightly less.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
If anyone is having trouble with something the answer is probably gain levels. Tough boss like Broly? Grind out more levels. Having trouble keeping someone alive? Grind more levels. Getting destroyed by finisher spam? Grind more levels and put the points into stamina.

I'm level 63~ or so and pretty much everything is WAY easier. At level 40 I saw some people had already beat the game while I was stuck in between Buu and Cell PQs. I gained some levels played around with skills to see what I could get to work in easier missions then moved on with the story and from level 49 or so rolled the story, and the post story Time Crystal missions no problem.

Unlocking PQ52 is amazing for leveling new characters, it's so nice. Made a Lady Buu and ran it 3 times in 5 minutes to get her to level 24 so I could play around with strikes. Fantastic.

This game rules, it's probably one of the few games I'll invest the time into really unlocking a lot of the content because it's extremely fun playing around with new movesets.

I think you may have to keep Nappa alive and above 50% health. Also you still gotta deal with the RNG.

You need to go to Team Registration first and start a team. Then you can walk up to patrollers and hit Y [i think] to open their stats and you can recruit them from there.
