I decided to reroll and do a 50-pull then save up all my stones.

Got SSR STR Goku from the reroll, and the pull grabbed me the TEQ penishead Frieza and a SSR Piccolo. Piccolo seems nice, but he really doesn't fit in the team i'm building around Goku:

Goku + Event Nappa + Vegeta (Saiyan bonus, Nappa/Vegeta get a couple extra bonuses between each other)
SR Frieza (links with nappa and vegeta)
Event TEQ Goku + Z-Awakened Chiaotzu (filler, get z-warriors between themselves)

e: where do you go to change your display name?

So a level 40 Z-awoken N still only gets my SRs 6 levels. Is there really no other way?

I noticed that.. Part of me wonders if he was meant to be SR rather than R. I've gotten 4 at this point, with one sitting at 40 waiting to be Z-Awakened but I can't make myself spend the money because I really only need him for my "Blue-Man Group".

What's your secret? I'm constantly out of healing items. I have teams broken up by color to try and offset some of the beatdown, but goddamn, some missions are tough. Some of my guys are underused though, so maybe it's just a level thing. I'm through chapter 1 on Z-Hard, a couple maps into chapter 2.

I farmed one of the missions (either Cyborg Tao or the Gohan event) and ended up getting 60-70 of the potions (there was a way you could take a detour on the map and after fighting an unavoidable enemy, take a 4-turn roll to hit a potion. So, I've been going through those.

Also, making sure to point your supers and attacks to match weaknesses helped a lot. I'm about at the point where I'm dying right at the end of the final boss battle, which sucks, because I'm about level 70 across the board.

Yeah, I'm suffering from the "one more round would win it" problem right now.. Get them to a sliver of health and out of heals and the next turn he jumps to the front of my line and hits me with a Super. It's getting old.

URs are insanely strong, I've got two on my friends list and they just one shot everything. If they super a boss they get one shot too.

I'm sure this slows down deeper into Z-Hard though.


Okay so I've got a bunch of SSRs: Goku (blue), Piccolo, Gohan, and Frieza. I've been using Gohan as lead since it buffs him and Piccolo and the two blues on my team (SSJ Goku and SSR* Roshi) but is that the best leader skill to go with of what I've got available?

Is there any that are just outright better than the others?

Did the Dragon Stone Multi-summon, didn't get any of Frieza's transformations and my only SR was a TEQ Raditz...

Well, at least I can start a saiyan team with him and the Nappa and Vegeta from the event, I also got a STR Android 19 and a INT Dr. Gero so now I have a full balanced android team with Androids 16 through 20 with a Cell Jr. as a pet. Also got an INT Guldo which I heard are valuable for Ginyu teams, just missing Jeice and Ginyu to complete mine.

Depends on how you play. I just realized that I can limit the amount enemies give me on Z-HARD by placing someone who isn't vulnerable to enemy's attacks next to its attack phase.

Z-HARD just basically means that you have to play strategically.

I don't know, he might surprise you. I have the SR PHY Raditz on my primary team- he's a loving bruiser. Just got him Z-Awakened:



My SSR Vegeta is so close to being Z-Awakened.. I have the money, I almost have the levels, just need the loving Supreme Kai token. Going to be running this goddamn map on Z-Hard all day. :(

Really seems like it depends on which Ginyu guys you get. There's a PHY Guldo, too. The reason the INT one is useful to me is because the INT Ginyu is the SR and I don't have him, I have the R STR one.

I got the other SR STR Frieza 1st Form. Shame his leader ability isn't as general, because he has Brutal Beatdown. Now, if I wanted to do a STR heavy Ginyu team, he'll be good. +25‰ attack to Frieza, Jeice, and Ginyu and links with Guldo and Recoome. :getin: But for general purpose, +15‰ to everyone is much more useful on a balanced team.

I was feeling lucky and did a couple single-summons. Super Saiyan Goku shooting the meteor twice in a row. Got 2 SR's that I've already got - one I don't use whatsoever. Yay.

Next Strike starting Thursday is Mecha Frieza. SR INT I believe.

Worth farming because in the future you could turn your Mecha Frieza with lv10 Super into a SSR Gold Frieza and he'll keep the lv10 Super.

Also you can use all Friezas together on a single team (form 1, 2, 3, Final, Mecha, and Gold) so you might want him for that gimmick.

My two multi-summons gave me one SR each, TEQ Raditz and STR Goku. Raditz definitely seems worthless because of his passive and almost every R was a copy of something I already had, very sad.

I've used a few and I think it's worth it. Not having to hit the training menu before every goddamn game is worth more to me than the time it takes to get a few stones.

I used a few stones to bump up my inventory size, it's a good idea unless you only want to maintain a single team.

But yeah once you've got a lot of SRs, Rs become training fodder.

Alright, I feel so stingy about the dragon stones though. Fed the R's into making Z-Awakened N's and now I have a shiny Z-Awakened Jackie Chun. Too bad I've been playing it over and over on Hard and Z-Hard but have only managed to grab 5. Would have been nice to have another level 10 super.

I'm going to be playing Mecha Frieza exclusively when the event starts. It won't be for lack of effort that I don't get a Level 10 Super Golden Frieza if I can help it.

Yeah that's just ideal for my Frieza team. You don't need to max Mecha Frieza's super for the gold form it's just easier to max now than it would be to roll extra gold Friezas to level him after changing.

Nuebot posted:

It's not in the U.S. Version yet but apparently in Japan there's an event with special Dokkan Awaken medals you have to earn and then you can change a maxed out z-awakened Frieza of any form into a lv1 SSR Gold Frieza. Who can then be awakened to UR like any other SSR, but keeps the original's typing, leader power, and super level.

There's a few other characters that this will be used for too like SR Roshi to SSR 100% Power Buff Roshi or R (SR?)Chi Chi to SR (SSR?)Kid Armor Chi Chi. It's relatively new over there and we're like 6 months behind them so it's kind of a long term prep thing.
