Have they even announced a date for the world tournament besides "soon"?

They haven't even announced a date for Cooler yet. The new announcement still says "Soon".

It always has been 5-7 days long in the japanese version, 2 weeks sounds highly unlikely. The goal, as annoying as that sounds, is to get rank 214, which means 120 stamina and 2 runs with 1 refill.
But 84 stones for a SSR is pretty good (the rate is not even 2% on normal rolls), especially if you count the extra DS you get from the tournament missions.

Btw, tournament missions dont carry over between tournaments - you want the SSR, you have to do 100 in one run.

I didn't count the stones you get while running to 100 wins, so really you just need 50ish stones on hand.



Aside from the time investment, it shouldn't be too bad.


Quick question: are these runs going to be against other users' decks, or just random card assortments because if you have to fight a deck full of level 100 super saiyans this could suck and cost way more than 50 stones

Good thing you all are giving the heads up about the World Tournament, so I can be sure not bother doing it. Wasting a bunch of $40~$50 of stones AND spend huge amount of time to grind up a event? No, thanks.

As if spending hundreds of dollars to get guaranteed.......DUPLICATE SRs are not frustrating enough.

Yeah, I'd consider using those stones if it were just that but I don't really want to spend a whole week glued to my phone to do all those runs.

Against other users decks with rougly the same team cost as yours.

Well as I pointed out the stone requirement outside of the ones the event gives you is roughly equivalent to a single x10 pull for a guaranteed SSR. It's really not that bad from a financial standpoint unless you're either rear end at battles or you've used up all the freebie story stones.

As far as the time investment goes, you're looking at 14 runs or 56 battles a day. I'm guessing the boards are super short for these events. So, uh, make of that what you will. I've been playing 100% free so far, and I have a job, but I haven't been keeping track of how many battles I do a day. I'm going to see how much of a time sink this is

drat. Well not so much drat since its a cool event, but do I pull or do I bash my head at the 'lowest droprate in the loving game'-wall to get Cooler?

Though maybe they'll feature him together with other Freeza forms since I still need to replace my dokkan'd 2nd form.

I hope this next event's good for medals or training items or something, I'm out of everything after my recent SSR-avaganza. I got SSJ2 Goku awakened earlier and now I'm out of Old Kais, Gregories, and Zeni. Also any gold training items.

He does mark my 10th UR*, though. Bring on the World Tournament. :getin: Does sound like more work than I expected to rank well, though.

Though, actually, you know who's impressive for an SR? SSJ Adult Gohan. Hits really hard. Probably better than SSJ PHY Vegeta. SSJ Trunks and Goten are pretty solid, too. A few of them might be a good way to fight less insane teams.

Looks like you got your wish, the new banner is Cooler, Frieza, and a pair of Super Saiyans.

I did a 10 pull on it and got two SR Coolers and a SR Thouser. Also a Doure to go with the Naise I'll never use. The rate up seems pretty good.

I've got just about the number of free stones I'll need for the tournament left, so I decided on one last single pull on this new banner. Cooler is lame but super saiyans and Frieza, why not.


Saw blonde for the first time in forever.

2nd form Frieza. The one I just dokkaned.

If your nail is the one I'm thinking of, the one with lots of HP and the "no bad status" ability and the HP restoring passive, he could be pretty clutch in PVP.


Hell, he makes UR piccolo less bad if you were unlucky enough to get saddled with that noise.

Little of both, honestly. Was just the one 10 pull today. Trying to cut back a little, so that might be it for this banner.

I should probably watch the Cooler movie. I have no idea who any of these people are.

It's all right now, I decided to do 5 single pulls and got SR STR Yamcha, SR STR SSJTrunks (already had him) and SSR Final Form Frieza, the very first SSR I pull.

Namekians are really not that bad stats wise. They just don't link with anything.


There's...two of them in the entire series...and they don't have any different forms for some reason. How are Ma Jr. and the Piccolo that fights Frieza the same form?

Final Form Frieza is a good SSR to get. Most teams could do with some good TEQ offense. I was using SR Nappa and SR Beerus before I got Majin Vegeta.

And yeah, Piccolo tends to have good stats, but strange links. I'd say you'd probably want to do Piccolo, Nail, Hercule, Videl, Goku, and Pikkon. Use Hero and Strongest Duo. Maybe leave Nail in the cold and use Vegeta and Frieza in place of Hercule and Videl to get Prodigies?

Edit: Just cleared the event on Normal. There's going to be some tough fights on Z-Hard, I think. Unless it's like RoF and nobody gets awakened on Z-Hard.

Medal drop rate seems pretty good. Haven't tried running for Cooler, so that probably sucks in exchange?

Well, got a Cooler on my third attempt. Doesn't seem too bad? Guess I should decide if I want both the SR and the Dokkan. Have most of the pieces for a Thirst for Conquest team.

Kid Vegeta is better for Saiyan Warrior Race teams, in my opinion. King Vegeta has that +ki leader skill, which is nice.

They both have a place and work well together on an Int team. If I had to pick, I'd take Kid Vegeta, though.

The Kid is a bitch to farm, but otoh the King doesn't have a great drop rate.

It seems like Ma Jr. and Tao are the easiest to farm by far.

The rest seem to have the same low drop rate

I am fine that Coora is a low drop rate (took about 12 attempts for my first one), but do they have to put the Coora also in the summon pool? I did 4 summons to get 2 usual trash Rs and 2 Cooras. I rather spend 20 gems burning stamina to farm 10 Coora than to take my chances to pull two.

He's basically not a drop, just a summon. When the event was in Japan the last time people mostly needed 100+ runs to get one, some went 250 runs without a drop. 12 attempts is about as lucky as single pulling a SSR. Probably more so

Do people like cooler or something?

I can't imagine using 50 stones to get some cooler's armored guard cards.




If and when broly happens because he doesn't have any garbage minions he'll have a bunch of the SSJ cards accompanying him.

I was wondering how I had gone through 2 days of solid play having not received a single drop. How irritating. I have really grown to loath that level.

Saying that, I don't really have much luck with all these events anyway. I very rarely get to see battle card drops ever. Sucks.
