Does anyone know if the previous Dokkan Festival Events, will ever become the main event again? As in the Broly Event being the main event or if they just roll out new ones every time. Really I'm wondering if I should throw stones at the Buu event hoping for TEQ SSR Cell or just save them for the future Gogeta event.

Wait, what links against Buu?

All of the raid bosses have a special link that helps neutralize their gimmick and gives a nice perk. Certain SRs and SSRs have the ability by default.

Broly's fight has Blazing Battle, which lets those characters do normal damage. Cell has Soul vs Soul and it reduces his regeneration, but is still less useful than stunning. Buu turns ki orbs into candy that block chains, but Supreme Power lets characters treat them as rainbow orbs and gain HP. Supreme Power (formerly WE GOTTA POWER) should be enabled tonight during the maintenance if we're getting the Gotenks stuff.

The lists are in the relevant announcement.

I figured you did, wanted to rattle it off anyway. Been kicking around the idea of a new player guide and having stuff written might be useful.

I think it's kind of interesting that they're doing multiple Strike SRs for Buu's candy gimmick. They haven't done that before, just the links. There were only natural SSRs for Rampage and Regeneration suppression.

Also really looking forward to the failed Gotenks cards, they look like pretty solid Ki +3 leaders. Shame I didn't get the SSGSS Vegeta or Goku to really take advantage, but such is life, I guess.

I think I'm gonna run pure WE GOTTA POWER for Buu. Ultimate Gohan, Majin Vegeta, Great Saiyaman 1 and 2, and both Gotenks. Maybe replace one or the other with SSR Gotenks, Vegeta, or Goku if I get one.

I feel like a dummy for not looking at the News section to see the characters. Didn't know they were all listed. I can field an entire team of them! (Edit: gently caress, I have STR Saiyaman 1 & 2.. Buu is AGL right? I'm like 15 Bulma medals away from getting my TEQ Saiyaman 2 up and running.)

Ultimate Gohan is the one character I really wish I could pull. I need a solid non-Vegeta PHY, and he makes a hell of a leader and packs a punch. May have to spend some money on pulls tomorrow.

I had to politely request that Turles improve his drop rate. With an SA5 SSG Goku and a double Golden Frieza lead.

Buu is multi type. The medal one starts TEQ, goes to one of INT/STR/TEQ, then into the new PHY one. The character farming one is TEQ into STR on Z-Hard.

Additionally, PHY SSJ Broly is really good. Definitely worth the effort once you get a Broly strategy down.

Nice nuke. From the few times I got to try a friend Golden Frieza, his damage reduction is amazing. I still want SSGSS TEQ Goku though. Only 30 stones left, I wonder if I should burn them on singles.

I was pretty pleased. I definitely like the DR. I'm probably going to keep my AGL nuke team handy while working on Buu. Take any GF lead I see in to murderate Broly.

This gacha didn't like me much. I got Golden Frieza, another PHY SSJ Vegeta, and a STR SSJ Goten. So not terrible, but I have had crummy luck with the good banner cards lately.

There's a guide on Reddit based on the Japanese run. Some of it is Gotenks dependent, but I tried to put something together..

TEQ Vegito lead
STR Broly
STR Beerus
STR Great Saiyaman 2
STR Launch (for her +2 Ki, was suggested by the thread)
INT Mr. Buu

That'll give me 3 "eaters", plus some decent STR hitters, plus Vegito's bonus damage and sheer badassitude.

Thoughts? I have the Strike Tien and Piccolo at SA10 as well.

They changed a few things last time to make it tougher, I think. I presume those are still in effect. I still have Broly, though. :v:

I feel like the exp(both char and rank) are higher than the last tourney.

They still can hit hard so defense still matters. No supers yet, and I hope it stays that way.

Perhaps you need to... reverse... his polarity? Hack? Do some hacking?
I got one run in this morning, and had to use a senzu on the third round. Team over in a flash had to use some of the 430 tree of mights to do Supers though. Shame I was only able to get Turles up to SA6 since the Tournament is more important.

DB pulls were both duplicates, General Blue and Officer Black. Hopefully the rest of the Tournament is better.

There's basically a fine line between stacking +ki abilities to trigger supers and +x damage that'll let supers do more damage. It depends on what the rest of your team looks like.

And, I'm no expert, but I would probably put Gohan in the lead. +ki goodness

The obvious suggestion is to Dokkan that Third Form Frieza. Probably easier said than done, but such is life. Then you'd at least have two cards that give Broly +2 ki. From there I'd just add your big hitters, SSJ3 Goku, Final Form Cooler, etc. Kid Goku would be a good choice, too, since he has a very WT-friendly passive. Then you just replace cards as you get new ki support for Broly.

You're using him for his passive, +2 ki to TEQ and STR, on a Broly team. If you aren't fueling a Broly, he's less useful over the Mecha or 2nd Form.

I think I got KO'd maybe 3 times last WT. And I'm pretty sure at least two of those were me not healing.

I didn't think so either. He's in the character list, though. I guess they snuck him in unannounced (maybe unintentionally like Cooler the first time?)
