Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Rerolling is over 9000

It makes no sense whatsoever. Heck, I don't even agree with putting in more than $100 into this game. It's just not worth it, despite my interest in DBZ.

Well done.

Whales in these games totally fascinate me. I totally get spending money because you desire something so much, and it's partially driven because other people have it, but that can only justify spending so much, especialy in a game that has no PvP. When it gets into the thousands of dollars, I just don't get it.

$20k?! $35k?!?! Fucking hell, he probably could've just contacted someone at Bamco and discreetly paid them a fraction of it for a pre-built account.

As a purely F2P player just spending a little money on this seems baffling to me, but to be spending more than some people earn in a year on a Freemium game is just.....wow. I mean I did a few years of Psychology at college but I still can't begin to comprehend that level of addictive behaviour, though I count myself incredibly lucky to be able to say that.
About the closest I've come to spending money on this is occasionally thinking "Hm, wonder if my Google Reward credit can be used for a few more stones" when I've been a little under the 50 stone threshold, but then something comes along to give out just enough free stones anyway.

It's the same principle used in casinos just instead of "I've lost so much I have to get it back" it's "I've spent this much and didn't get what I wanted. If I stop now it'll all be in vain!"

Also yes, you can use Google Rewards Credit to pay for DS.

Honestly, $300 would probably be my absolute limit. I'm not close to there but yeah I'd stop at that point.

unless some mix of Omega Shenron, SV and SG comes out... like Super Omega Vegitgo/Govegito(help)

Granblue fantasy (still the best Gacha game imo) does it right. You can pay $20 or $30 to get a 10 pull, but you also get to SELECT one character that you want. So, you pay $30, get your Gogeta or whatever else you pick, and then you can still do your 10 pull. It's just a lot more satisfying to ALWAYS get something you want. Of course, they don't run that promotion all the time, so you can still waste a ton of money doing useless pulls outside of a promotion. But it's often enough.

See, this I could get behind. That's a fair deal that guarantees them some money, while keeping players interested. If Dokkan did that I probably would spend actual money more often.

Playing on an emulator, I keep getting an error trying to do the quest to get a dragon ball. Even transferring it to a phone keeps the error. Is the account just screwed?
 
Awoke my TEQ Vegito. Gonna make the fight much easier now for the team with his new Fierce Battle link.

Now to win 11 times to get SV up then another 5 times for INT Vegito........ ;_;

I think I found a decent team for me to beat SV:

Teq SS3 Vegeta Leader
SS3 Agi Goku
Friend Gogeta (these 3 have the Fierce Battle link for the damage)

Normal SV for Tanking

PHY Stun Goku (my MVP) and
TEQ Whis for two chances at stunning (PHY Goku stunned him almost everytime, Whis not so much).

King Cold (his passive reduces enemy attack, but i'm not sure if it made a difference. Maybe Gotenks could be better with his Sealing).

Only used 1 Usher, 1 Yemma and 1 healing item, but maybe it was RNG luck.

Does anyone have a team strat for easily beating Super Vegito without a Gogeta? I don't think I have anyone with Fierce Battle so I'm assuming I'll need to use a Gogeta friend.
Vegito is the best card in the game atm. He's best as a MONO AGL leader but even on a rainbow team he will put in work as an amazing tank and high damage dealer who counterattack on every normal attack he is hit with

This is good to know so thank you!
 
So had anyone actually pulled all 3 god cards in one pull with all the rerolling going on? I figured with everyone at it right now I may as well try get the re-roller working again but still no luck. There's always a folder missing. If I can ever get it working I'd be able to contribute to the new accounts for people looking to start with god cards.

I don't think it's possible to "easily" beat it without having those links...

I saw a stun build on reddit, but still don't think it's easy and is pretty RNG dependent.

Yeah easily was a bad word choice. I just meant a more solid way without using a bunch of stones.

You need Fierce battle to do the damage needed on SV. No Gogeta means you have your work cut out for you to even get to the SV fight with how strong Goku + Vegeta and then INT Vegito is with his hp.

If you can at least get 2 units with Fierce battle its possible but it will be a long drawn out fight.
 
Reading stories of people who spend thousands on F2P games or other gambling/RNG boxes makes me think governments should regulate/outlaw this like with every other form of gambling. Every f2p game does it but I truly believe it's manipulative and exploitative, preying on poor impulse control, people with addictive personalities and sunk cost fallacy (this one is a bitch). It's borderline evil, but it's become so standard, no one bats and eye, and now we have RNG boxes even in full-priced retail games. Anyway maybe it's because I'm poor, but I usually regret spending money on F2P games, and it actually causes me to enjoy the game less in almost all cases, because I can't shake that feeling of guilt/disappointment. I can see myself maybe buying a few stones if I need the last few to get another free multipull, but other than that, nah.
 
Seems as though TEQ Beerus isn't quite as good as you'd expect for this event. Type disadvantage on 2 of the 4 enemies you fight and Rage mode has reduced damage against the AGI phase because he isn't linking with anyone.

Preach it. I think there are actually laws/rules in other countries, like Japan. It really is ridiculous, but some games are better with it than others. I actually think Dokkan is pretty fair in giving people a lot of free stones as well as free characters that are useful. Other games are brutally unforgiving. Who knows. Perhaps without the uber characters, future content will be undoable.

TEQ Whis is great as he can stun randomly just hitting, no supers or anything needed. Of course it can be random so you are a bit at the mercy of chance.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Now that I have Super Vegito, should I be able to throw together like any scrub AGL team to farm up Gogeta dokkan medals? The reason I have 0 of those medals is due mostly to my lack of decent blue units.
 
When you get a SSR dupe just after the first one :")

Playing around with a reroll account that has Vegito, Majin Vegeta and Xeno Trunks. What do you think is a wiser use of stones? First 150 go to the three GSSR, go towards 4 multis trying to get Gogeta (since he loves me so much), or save them?

Side note - I really hope the event to dokkan Vegeta and Trunks comes back before the next tournament.

Got Broly dokkaned, working on Super Vegito, then will do the other two normal ones.

My fingers are sore.

What have you been using for Broly?

My first (and only) attempt ended with me dragging on the second phase and losing almost immediately on the third.

I don't normally brag about pulls... But this motherfucker right here:

Also got STR Gotenks, INT Godku, INT Vegito (dupe), PHY Ultimate Gohan (dupe).

All in all, spent about 150. The compulsive gambler in me wants to grab another stone set to try and get Broly, but that would be greedy. Definitely happy with the haul.

That's my current set-up, but I'm wondering if I should just take out Goku and put in PHY Bardock for his sealing ability. I'd still get the 2 Ki party bonus passive, and Bardock's stats are on-par with Goku's even after Goku's boost from Super Vegito's Leader Skill.

Also, any idea when we can expect the next Ultimate Gohan Dokkan Medal stages to resurface?

Lastly, should I even Dokkan Awaken my Super Gogeta, or should I save my cost for my future Dokkan Super Vegito and Ultimate Gohan?

Thanks!

Yo sob! You spent 150 stones or $150? Cause if it's the former we can't be friends </3.

We can be friends in Dokkan so I can use your units <3

We get 1DS for server error compensation ;). Not sure if anyone mentioned it lol

I don't think it's THAT easy because Gogeta still hurts, especially with his supers, and he can attack up to 4 times in a round, and SV can't always block them all.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

But he hits back after every normal attack. Pair him with Gogeta and he super attacks every round since they link up to fill his bar up so you only need 2 orbs to super.

You still have to survive though.

Maybe this is a really stupid question, but which of these would be the better choice to start off with?

One's got Bardock sealer, more AGL units, a second tank in the form of Frieza and SS3 Str Goku. The other has Gogeta.
 
So, as said multiple times with dupes it's best to avoid dupe feeding till the new system(if it ever) rolls in. I figure it's most important with SSR units, but figure some SR units would be good to wait with too. That being said, my inventory is filling up with lots of dupes, so should I bother saving the dupes of these guys, or just feed em to each other to increase SA. Or just sell to baba.

AGL SSJ Trunks(kid) Talent From Dad
AGL SSJ Goten(Kid) Promising Son
AGL Android #17 Dauntless Runner
AGL Android #18 Beautiful but Deadly
AGL Cell(1st form) Android Evolution
TEQ Beerus Carnage Awakens
INT SSJ Vegeta Last Minute Technique
INT Babdi Malevolent Magician
INT SSJ Trunks(kid) Defying the All-powerful
STR Goku The Saiyan Among Us
STR Chi-Chi Heart of Innocence
STR Frieza(2nd form) The Nightmare Transformed
STR Tien Respect to the Strong

Those guys with their dupes take around 50 freaking spots. SO. MANY. DUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPES!

So yeh, help.jpg. Keep till dupe system, sell to baba, feed to unit and make their SA better, or feed to like Vegito or another SSR.

The account on the left with just SV is really good. But the account with both is extremely powerful. You have AOE units in both but your 1st account has the orb changers. I would take the 2nd account just for SV and Gogeta. The other units make a small difference in the grand scheme of things and you have AOE on both of them.

did i really just do the worst multi summon in the history of this game ?

wtf is this shit

I dunno man, all R pull would have been just as bad if it wasn't 100% that you get 1 SR at least. At least the INT Yamcha is a good pull.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I'm leaning towards the one on the right. I figure it's better to go with the unit that's not in the WT pool.

Phy Broly is pretty awesome. His second free attack at 10 ki always supers, even if you don't have enough ki to super naturally.

Yeah he's pretty amazing. I thought it only would work on one character too, but nope. IF they die he fires a super off at another character.

Tough to decide on who I want to pump up the SA of first, him or SV.

Taking down like 4 characters wity just SV is the best. And he's not even awakened yet.

My first (and only) attempt ended with me dragging on the second phase and losing almost immediately on the third.

I got most of the characters that work against him, the Gohan, Goku, Goten SA ones, a few others like Vegeta that's dokkaned, and several others I could use as well. I had Gogeta as lead and a friend Gogeta and basically went super attack crazy.
 
So who do people think is stronger, Gogeta or Vegito? I started with a Gogeta account when he launched and steamrolled everything up until the dokkan awakening fights. I have a Vegito account now and he feels a lot weaker due to being constrained by type weaknesses.

I have my main backed up anyway but not one shotting enemies in the first few missions feels weird for such a high end card. Even the PHY Broly seems to hit harder.

In my opinion SV is stronger for end game when you have it awakened and 5 UR or TUR AGL cards to go with him, for example for a companion UR with 8000 atk you will be gaining a bonus of 5600 to its atk, and the bonus HP and def. My TUR SV is doing his counter for 100k at SA1 with Gogeta as the leader.
However for the early and mid game Gogeta is more vesatile as you will be gaining 2500 atk (3000 awakened) for its companion cards without conditions. With that, the R cards will be gaining Atk comparable to SR, and SRs will be gaining Atk comparable to some SSRs.
So it depends of the situation. Super Gogeta is go for all rainbow leader and a heavy hitter that doesnt care of the type, but doesnt know how to defend and Super Vegito is almost invincible because his defense and counter (unless you get hit by supers) but his team gets restricted to the type.
 
Ah that makes sense. I can definitely see the value in him then but it does feel like someone who benefits the most from good backup whereas Gogeta is better at bolstering a weaker team and broth forcing their way to a win. Guess I should keep the rerolling going and see if I can get both in a single pull. Both together must be a bit of a dream team despite the backup.

Does he have an ultra cool special attack animation like the Soul Punisher? No ay mines being awakened for a long time to find out on this account. I just don't have the units for it.

Stabs them through the face with his spirit sword. Than lifts them up and slices through them why flying forward. I actually like his unawakened super much better
