Two Broly kills to go. I can almost do it with a Dabura friend if I can't get a Frieza, but it costs me a stone. I get him down to half his final bar and just have to hope the orbs give me one more blue Super.

The Great Saiyaman STR and the Great Saiyaman 2 are my MVPs against Buu. STR does 170k damage every other turn making it actually pretty easy.

Uuuugh I pulled Broly from the Dokkan gacha. How do I cheese my way to enough medals to awaken him? I can't seem to ever get very far with that fight.

I just wanted to ignore broly's bullshit but I had to go and get lucky. I'm the worst.

How good is this new STR Spirit Bomb Goku anyway? His stats seem decent.

I think he's amazing. He has two +2 Ki links, has more than 10000 HP. He lacks Super Saiyan, but still links with many strong characters through WE GOTTA POWER and +1000ATK/DEF are nothing to scoff at.
His ATK is mediocre, but the 15% per STR orb is even stronger than TUR Cells 12%. Put in the time and you can push his SA to 10, since he's just a standard Goku.

So, I really enjoyed using Team Stun against Cell. He got like 2 heals and attacks off, but for the most part he was just staring at us. The team I used was INT Turles, TEQ Whis, General Blue, DB Kid Bulma, INT Chiaotzu and INT Jaco, with INT Golden Frezia Friend. It really helped that General Blue got +3 Ki from the stage and was linked with DB Kid Bulma. Now just 12 more to go. Well, this next time will be harder since I didn't get any KI from the stage.

Do +Ki from the stage not apply only once? I thought it was a one and done kind of thing. They get a boost at the start, but don't keep it after the first time they attack?

I learned that KI slots could be a curse on Snakey Way when you're trying to save your Dokkan Mode to defeat the Ginyu's Quickly but then kill a Saibaman with a Dokkan.

Anyway, I've gotten all the awakening medals I currently need (unless I pull an INT Perfect Cell or PHY Kid Buu, but I don't plan on doing any more pulls) thanks to Team Stun and a few dragon stones. Now just trying to get the the AGL Cells and TEQ Buu's to Awaken them and start leveling those guys up. I'm really like TEQ Perfect Cell as Leader though.

This exactly! For the Cell Games you could do Golden Frieza, Int Cell, Mecha Frieza, Whis, Teen Gohan and you would maybe have to spend a stone if you aren't careful. If you have nobody to stun.... eh... I did it with Blue and stunned him constantly.

As for Broly specifically, I haven't done that one myself yet. :(

Yes, a pure INT team with a +3 ki partner so you have +6 means you can usually win against Cell using pure brute force. Sensu, Dende, Ghost Usher, Ox King would be the recommended items.


For Broly, you have SSG AGL Goku as your heavy hitter. The rest of the team should be Blazing Battle members for blocking: SSJ AGL Goku, King Vegeta, STR Saiyaman 2 if you can dokkan her, R AGL Trunks if you have him.

Unfortunately, you're missing the ki booster piece which means you're not going to win very often. Later on, when the Paikon strike comes back, make sure to grab him because he'll pair with SSG AGL Goku.

That Namek Saga R Bulma and SR Babidi have the 50% 2 turn stun, same as Turles and SSR PHY SSJ Goku.

For Broly you want Pikkon to fuel SSG Goku. You need to always be throwing supers for the Dokkan Festivals, basically.

This does underline how broken the nukes are. If you're rerolling, you want either Broly or one of the nuke trio over anything else bar a ridiculous number of top tier SSRs (no less than all three of SSG AGL Goku, SSJ3 STR Goku, Ultimate PHY Gohan).

At the same time, it's a testament to how loving difficult they made these Dokkan Fest fights if you don't plan to burn a dozen stones for rezzes. Without cheesing it, and with a pile of good SSRs, I couldn't touch him. It was pathetic. Cell and Buu I did legitimately, but Broly was a pain in the rear end.

It's more owning the very specific characters needed to do them. In this regard, GBL is more fortunate than JPN because we get to know much earlier which characters to save. I do recognize that they're otherwise end-game content that newer players aren't reasonably expected to be able to complete.


For instance, I can reliably beat Broly using no stones with farmable characters, R AGL Trunks and a friend (either Kaioken AGL Goku or SSG AGL Goku).

Cell can be reliably beaten with farmable units if you have a stunner (General Blue preferably). I've been fortunate enough that my only strong colour is INT so I can get away with brute forcing Cell.

Buu is a pushover with farmable units if you have STR Saiyaman and either Saiyaman 2. By using the failed Gotenks to eat candy and keep up health while relying on STR Saiyaman to deal massive damage, I don't even need to use all my items to beat Buu.

I don't understand how I'm supposed to fight Broly. It's moot now, I never have to fight him again - but I have SSG Goku, I have R Trunks, I have SSJ Kid Trunks and TEQ SSJ Goku and a bunch of the linked characters.. Even with all that, he just decimates me. I'm glad I never have to go through that hell again.

I guess it doesn't matter now but it was a matter of using the first 2/3 safe turns to arrange my cards so that the strike pair (Friend Kaioken AGL Goku + AGL Pikkon) always comes up on the turn Broly doesn't attack (he always attacks every other turn). After that, it's just using my items judiciously along with close/reload to tank Broly's attacks. I'd say that I'd win the fight without a stone 80% of the time? Before I got R AGL Trunks I needed a stone 95% of the time since I didn't have a true damage soaker.

How are you manipulating that? Does the turn order affect further turns?

It does! Whoever is in slots 1 and 2 will show up in two turns together. Whoever is in slot 3 will show up in three rounds, with the pair from your next round's 1 and 2. Basically, if you want two characters together, put them in slots 1 and 2. If you don't? Put them in slot three and they'll cycle over to the other pair and you can re-adjust. You don't have any control over the initial order, though.

That is an ABSURD set of numbers!

I get excited to see upwards of almost 100k at this point. How are you getting Ult Gohan and Fat Gotenks that high? Is it due to a trick of the Buu event?

I've moved over to grinding the Android 13 medals, since I got him up to max special attack. and that has been... fun. It's getting me some ranks still ( I'm over 160 and still getting a GOOD amount of exp from this ). Not really sure what to grind since I do not have a Broly, or Buu that can be awakened.

Are the first round drops of the Dokkan Festival worth grinding? PHY Broly, ... I don't recall the Buu that drops, or the Agi Cell?

SSGSS Vegeta, SA6 Ultimate Gohan and SA10 Fat Gotenks for hitting, Skinny Gotenks, SSR PHY SSJ Goku, PHY SSJ2 Goku. Grabbed a SSGSS Vegeta friend to double up, but I'm not sure it matters.

It's a mix of the double leads and the boost from Supreme Power. They'd be lower if not for that.

I think SSJ Broly is definitely worth it. Cell seems alright. Buu has uses if you don't have the existing Super Buu, otherwise he seems inferior.

Edit: Just tried SSJ Goten and INT Vegeta. Didn't work as well as I hoped. 200k is pretty solid, but Goten is an active detriment to nuking if he's on the line with your preferred hitter.

The team I tried was SSJ Goten, Vegeta, SSR 18, Majin Vegeta, INT SSJ Gohan, STR SSJ Bardock. The idea being get as many 15% boosts as I could. I think the dream line is Vegeta/Majin Vegeta/18?

Edit2: What the gently caress? I just did a single pull with the leftovers from my 10 pull earlier and got a third Broly. Good thing I didn't Dokkan the other one I have.

I ran my SSGSS Vegeta, PHY SSG Goku, and both failed Gotenks. Burned down the first Buu, nuked the second with SSG Goku, nuked the third with a friend's PHY Spirit Bomb Goku (+10% attack per orb). That left him at less than half. Somehow I lined up another Super with PHY Gotenks and that was that. Easy peasy.
