Story Quests: Cell Saga

Welcome, Time Patrollers! The Cell Saga presents some of the most critical timeline distortions you'll face. This guide will walk you through each mission, highlighting key strategies, potential item drops, and how to ensure the timeline remains intact. Prepare for intense battles against Androids and the perfect life form!

Android Assault

Your first mission in the Cell Saga involves confronting the rogue Androids 17 and 18. The timeline is being altered, and their initial rampage is far more destructive than it should be.

  • Objective: Defeat Android 17 and Android 18.
  • Location: Rocky Area (Night)
  • Walkthrough:
    1. You'll start by facing Android 17. He's fast and relies on quick combos. Block frequently and counter-attack after his rush attacks.
    2. Once Android 17's health drops to about 50%, Android 18 will join the fray. Focus your attacks on one Android at a time to reduce the pressure. Android 18 uses more energy-based attacks, so be ready to dodge or use a Vanish.
    3. Strategy: use your strongest Ultimate Attacks when both are present, aiming to hit both if possible. Stamina management is crucial here; don't get caught without enough to Vanish out of a combo.
  • Potential Drops:
    • Z-Soul: "I'm not gonna be that easy!" (Android 17)
    • Skill: "Infinity Bullet" (Android 17)
    • Skill: "Sadistic Dance" (Android 18)
    • Zenny (Varies)

Imperfect Cell's Ambition

The next distortion involves Imperfect Cell accelerating his absorption of Android 17 and 18. You must intervene before he achieves his perfect form too early.

  • Objective: Stop Imperfect Cell from absorbing Android 17 and 18.
  • Location: Cell Games Arena (Under Construction)
  • Walkthrough:
    1. You'll initially fight Imperfect Cell alone. He has several ranged attacks and a powerful grab. Keep your distance and use Ki Blasts, or close in for quick combos followed by a retreat.
    2. After a certain amount of damage, Android 17 and Android 18 will appear as allies, but Cell will attempt to absorb them. Your primary goal shifts to preventing this.
    3. Strategy: Prioritize attacking Cell whenever he attempts to absorb an Android. A successful absorption will significantly boost his power and make the fight much harder. Use knockback attacks or Ultimates to interrupt his absorption sequence.
    4. If Cell successfully absorbs one Android, he will transform into Semi-Perfect Cell. If he absorbs both, he becomes Perfect Cell. Avoid this at all costs!
  • Potential Drops:
    • Z-Soul: "I'm going to absorb you!" (Imperfect Cell)
    • Skill: "Drain Charge" (Imperfect Cell)
    • Accessory: Cell's Tail (Rare)
    • Small Mix Capsule

The Cell Games Begin!

The timeline is in chaos! Cell has achieved his Perfect Form and initiated the Cell Games, but with an unexpected twist – he's far more powerful than history remembers, and Goku is struggling.

  • Objective: Assist Goku against Perfect Cell.
  • Location: Cell Games Arena
  • Walkthrough:
    1. You'll join Goku in a 2v1 battle against Perfect Cell. Cell is incredibly strong, with high defense and devastating Ultimate Attacks like "Perfect Kamehameha."
    2. Strategy: Coordinate with Goku. While Goku engages Cell, try to land charged Ki Blasts or powerful Strike Supers. When Cell focuses on you, use your evasive skills and let Goku draw his attention.
    3. Be wary of Cell's "Solar Flare" which can blind you, leaving you open to attack.
    4. Mid-fight, Cell will create Cell Juniors. These smaller enemies are weaker but can overwhelm you with numbers. Take them out quickly with area-of-effect attacks before returning your focus to Perfect Cell.
    5. Ultimate Finish Condition: Defeat Perfect Cell with Goku still conscious. This often requires you to be the primary damage dealer.
  • Potential Drops:
    • Z-Soul: "I am Perfect!" (Perfect Cell)
    • Skill: "Perfect Kamehameha" (Perfect Cell)
    • Skill: "All Clear" (Cell Juniors)
    • Clothing: Cell's Battle Suit (Upper, Lower, Hands, Feet)
    • Large Mix Capsule

Successfully completing these missions will restore the Cell Saga timeline. Remember to visit the Item Shop or use your Mix Capsules to craft stronger healing items like Senzu Beans or Full Restore Capsules for these challenging encounters!
