How to Block in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Recommended Videos

Dragon Ball FighterZ is the latest fighting game installment in the series that brings together several fan-favorite characters for exciting 3v3 battles. Each fighter has their own play style and moves that you can mix and match to deliver some deadly combos. Like with most fighting games, you also have the option to block any incoming attacks and punish the enemy with your own attacks.

Blocking is extremely simple and only requires you to press back on the d-pad depending on where your character is facing. Your character will automatically block any incoming blows, significantly reducing any incoming damage. The key to winning fights is to balance both offensive and defensive strategies, so make sure to wait for the right opening before striking back. Similarly, the game does not have any “throw” mechanics but relies on a move called the “Dragon Rush” instead. You can use this technique to punish opponents that rely heavily on blocking damage.

Remember that sometimes the best defense is also a good offense, so don’t be afraid to go in and deal some damage. One key to winning fights is to keep your enemies guessing and stay unpredictable.

That’s all you need to know to block in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Make sure to check out our wiki for more Dragon Ball FighterZ tips and tricks.
