Also I apparently don't have Broly friends. :( I need to clean up my friends list. Jumping to the Korin tier right after my first win was really nice though!

I'd trade you a Staff Officer Black, if I could. I got two of those today.

I've done pretty well with the DB gacha overall. SSR Kid Goku, SR Tien, SR Yamcha, SR Bunny Bulma, R Dracula Man, R King Chappa, and three or four SR Oolong's.

Oolong's not too bad if you get his SA up, his passive (+5 Ki for his very first turn) usually lets him launch a super attack at the start of a battle.

Personally, I don't care about a free SSR pull. I already have 3 and that's all I can fit in my deck for now. I'm more interested in UR awakening medals.

I just want more of the SRs, I don't have a ton of use for the SSRs. I have the older Bulma and two Tien, I think. Launch would be awesome, she's got the passive that Turles and Roshi have. Also a motorcycle and a sawed-off shotgun.

Definitely harder this time around, gotta always take some -Dmg items with me. Not going for 100 wins either, Broly burned me out pretty hard.

For the new guy, who asked about the tournament: Do it. The rank xp is decent, the character xp is great and you get a bunch of training stages, stones and DB tickets for the first 20 wins. The enemy teams scale with your team cost so you wont get bludgeoned by Brolys either.

7 total, but yeah.

The really annoying part of the maintenance is having to reset your items.

Edit: Oh gently caress me, I just got insta-gibbed by a Broly in my final round. That'll learn me. Live by the cheese, die by the cheese, I guess.

I just did the guaranteed SSR pull:

Given the event that is coming up I would've rather gotten Cell as an INT but I have a bunch of freezas so I'm not complaining

So I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but Fruit of the Tree of Might lasts through multiple fights (at least on the preliminary stage). I learned this thanks to Broly friend kicking some rear end, and then the next battle everyone else having +3 Ki.

Any item that says "lasts for three rounds" like the fruit, President/King Dog, Bulma, etc. last throughout the stage until you get three rounds

That's pretty neat. I guess I never noticed I usually used healing items in most stages, and didn't notice a 1 ki increase for rounds when I used King in the past.


Finally broke sub-200. I know I won't have time to keep up with it throughout the week, but it's been a pretty good start today.

I really wish there was an overlay that showed you how much ki you are getting. There are times that I can't tell if I have 5 or 6 ki due to the attack number covering it up. Its disappointing to pick the wrong ki orbs and be off from a super by 1.

Also, I got to 31 wins and Beerus Tier, which is where I'm calling it a night. I'm currently rank 124, but I know that is not going to last.

You're a machine, dude. I thought I was pushing it at 16 wins/~1200 rank. And you don't even have ez-mode engaged.

I'll be honest, I've been playing since 8 am CST until about now, with only a couple of break, but since I thought I was ranking up quickly I wanted to get to Beerus Tier tonight ( I feel like it wasn't until around 50 wins that I hit Beerus last tournament). Perhaps not the best use of my day, but then again I've also spent a lot of money on this game. Broly has shown up as a friend a lot (and yours helped me out earlier tonight) , so I can't say that I haven't experienced his power on my side. I've also been lucky in that I've only seen 1 Super Against me (and not a Broly one!), and that my stamina is high enough that I can do 2 runs until I need to reload.

Yeah, I need to get my rank up to that point, I'm going through just as many stones for less benefit.

The game is totally loving with me. I've gotten two Super Buus today on single pulls.

I'm having really bad luck with the DB Saga pulls, bunch of Rs and the single SR is one I already had (Oolong).

I got a pretty good GT gasha multipull, though! Got SSJ Trunks and Pan, also Jaco, which I really wanted for my Saiyaman team, as well as Turles' weird robot henchman and the infamous SR Cui.

Is that Cui's "occasionally" reducing defense by 50% the same "occasionally" as the good chiaotzu's stun?

It turns out Team Buu was a bust, at least for gaining traction in the tournament. While I had no trouble of dying, I didn't have the attack power to finish off enemies quickly, so my points per run were about half of what they were with Team Turles, as well as having to fight multiple battles per round. I used Kid Buu as leader, so perhaps I should have used Majin Buu for the attack boost. I went with two different teams, the first was Kid Buu, Majin Buu, Super Buu and Mr Buu with Frezia and Super Android 13 for Metamorphis link. The second was using Androids 17 and 18 for an innocents link.

Yeah, I'd run a tourney version with Good Buu up front. You need to be able to break 10k consistently to one-shot enemy teams.

I don't think it's going to be very hard to stay in top 5k. I'm still in the top 3k with 20 wins.

It's all based on team cost. I don't know the range, but in general, you'll face teams built similarly to yours. You're not gonna run into my Broly team if you're running Rs and SRs. I've encountered ONE non-UR card in 20 rounds. It was a GT Trunks.

I think supers just double your points. It's just like Brolying a team. Here's the breakdown.
