Use Your Ki Wisely
Dragon Ball FighterZ: Tips and Tricks for Beginners
Ki is quite useful in Dragon Ball FighterZ, allowing you to unleash deadly special attacks or chain special attacks with your entire team. You can also use vanishing attacks to surprise enemies or to extend your combos.
Because Ki is invaluable in this 2.5D fighting game by Arc System Works, players should make sure their special attacks hit the enemy. For example, your enemy will surely block a Kamehameha if they see it coming from a mile away. They can even perform a vanishing attack to hit you from behind and cancel out your super.
Additionally, don’t bother chaining special attacks when your opponent has blocked the first super move because the lengthy attack animations are a dead giveaway that they should continue blocking. Chip damage, or the damage dealt to enemies blocking devastating attacks, is also minimal in Dragon Ball FighterZ and will never knock out opponents who are at critical health.
Knowing the range of each character’s special attacks is also crucial, especially when chaining supers. Chaining special attacks from afar with Cell’s level 1 super or Teen Gohan’s won’t hit anyone.
One of the best times you should use special attacks is during combos, as the enemy is helpless and can’t block your attacks during this state. Enemies performing an attack animation are also susceptible to special attacks, such as when performing ki blasts or super dashes.
