Characters & Builds: Race Selection, Attributes, QQ Bangs, and Skill Synergy
Optimizing your character build is the foundation of success in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. This section provides a comprehensive deep-dive into choosing the right race, allocating attribute points (up to the level 120/140 cap), crafting level 6 QQ Bangs, and selecting the perfect combination of Awoken Skills and Super Souls to dominate both PVE and PVP environments.
Choosing Your Race and Gender
Each race offers unique passive bonuses and stat distributions that dictate your optimal playstyle:
- Saiyans: Have the highest attack modifiers when health is low. Males excel in Strike Supers and Basic Attacks, while Females have the highest Ki Blast recovery and scaling. They have access to the most Awoken Skills, including Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Evolved).
- Earthlings: Feature automatic Ki regeneration and increased attack power when Ki is at max. Males have the strongest Basic Attack strings in the game; Females excel with Ki Blast Supers.
- Majins: High defense when Stamina is full. Males are "tanks" with high health but take extra damage when Stamina is broken. Females have faster Stamina recovery and are elite at Strike builds.
- Namekians: High health and faster item usage. They regenerate health when below 70% and have increased Stamina recovery, making them excellent for "Become Giant" builds.
- Frieza Race: Gain speed as health drops and recover Ki while attacking. Their "Golden Form" provides a massive 30% boost to Ki Blast Supers and transforms their charged Ki blast into a lethal beam.
Attribute Allocation & The Level Cap
With the current level cap increased to 140, You can allocate up to 200 points into a single attribute. Focus on specific synergies:
- Health: Best for Male Majins and Namekians.
- Ki/Stamina: Every 42 points equals one full bar. Aim for 84 or 125 points to hit specific breakpoints.
- Basic Attacks: The primary source of damage for Male Earthlings and Saiyans.
- Strike/Ki Blast Supers: Specialize based on your race’s natural scaling to maximize DPS.
QQ Bangs: The Core of Gear Optimization
To optimize a build, you must ignore the stats of your clothing and use a Level 6 QQ Bang. Created by mixing two 5-star clothes with a Super Mix Capsule Z, these items can provide +5 boosts to multiple stats (like Ki, Stamina, and Damage types) with minimal to no penalties, effectively giving your character an additional 15-20 free attribute bars.
Awoken Skills & Super Souls
No build is complete without the proper synergy between your transformation and your Super Soul:
- Awoken Skills: Transformations like Potential Unleashed provide a flat 15% buff to all damage, while Beast offers a massive 30% damage increase at the cost of defense. Choose an Awoken that complements your race (e.g., Power Awakening for Namekians or Pure Progress for generalists).
- Super Souls: These provide "Always On" or "Triggered" effects. For Ki Blast builds, souls like "I've cast aside everything for this!" provide an XXL boost to damage. For Stamina management, "Our two strengths aren't just added together" provides essential Ki auto-recovery.
