Conquering Expert Missions
Expert Missions in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 present some of the game's most challenging encounters, pushing your custom Time Patroller to their absolute limits. These missions often feature powerful, iconic villains with sificantly boosted stats and unique attack patterns. Success requires not only a strong character build but also a deep understanding of enemy mechanics and effective counter-strategies.
Expert Mission 01: The Greatest Warrior of All Time
This mission often pits you against a formidable Goku. His Kamehameha attacks can be devastating, and his speed makes him difficult to pin down. Focus on dodging his ki blasts and look for openings after he finishes a combo. Using evasive skills effectively is crucial. Consider using characters or skills that can inflict status effects like paralysis or stamina break, as this can create vital windows for attack. A balanced build with good Ki and Stamina regeneration is recommended.
Expert Mission 02: The Strongest Foe in History
Expect a tough fight against a powerful Frieza or similar villain. These missions often involve multiple waves of enemies or a single, incredibly durable boss. Learn the boss's attack tells – the visual or audio cues that precede their most dangerous moves. For instance, a charging animation might precede a powerful beam attack. Sticking close and using rapid attacks can sometimes interrupt their charge-ups. Alternatively, maintaining distance and using long-range ki blasts can be effective if you have the stamina to sustain it.
Expert Mission 03: The Ultimate Power
These missions often feature villains with devastating ultimate attacks that can wipe out your team in an instant. Learning to recognize the wind-up for these attacks and having an evasive skill ready is paramount. Some ultimate attacks can be interrupted if you deal enough damage quickly, but this is risky. A common strategy is to focus on breaking the enemy's stamina, which can stagger them and prevent them from using their most powerful abilities. Equip Super Souls that boost damage when stamina is low or provide defensive buffs.
General Expert Mission Strategies
Regardless of the specific opponent, several universal strategies apply. Teamwork is essential if playing with allies; coordinate your attacks and support each other. Stamina management is key – don't deplete your stamina unnecessarily, as it leaves you vulnerable. Ki management is also important for using skills and transformations. Experiment with different Super Souls and Skills; some combinations are far more effective against specific enemy types. Finally, don't be afraid to retry. Each attempt is a learning opportunity to refine your approach and overcome the challenges that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2's Expert Missions throw at you.
