Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Resources

Everything you need to build a Time Patroller, rank characters, farm Dragon Balls, and master every DLC in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

Getting Started

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Beginner Guide

Create a Time Patroller, pick a race, learn the combat fundamentals, and follow an efficient early-game route through the story, mentors, and Conton City activities. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 rewards a clear build direction from the very first hour.

1

Create Your Time Patroller and Choose a Race

Pick from Saiyan, Majin, Frieza Race, Namekian, Earthling, and DLC races. Each race has unique base stats and its own transformation line: Saiyans access Super Saiyan forms, Earthlings auto-charge Ki and boost basic attacks, Majins are naturally tanky, Namekians regenerate health, and the Frieza Race is the fastest mover.

2

Master Basic Combat and Stamina

Learn light and heavy strings, Vanishes, Just Guard, and stamina breaks. Stamina fuels Vanishes and evasives, while Ki powers supers and ultimates, so managing both is the core skill that separates new and veteran players.

3

Train Under Instructors

Approach masters like Goku, Vegeta, Cell, and Beerus in Conton City and complete their lesson chains. Finishing an instructor's lessons unlocks their skills, Super Souls, and customization options for your Time Patroller.

4

Progress the Main Story and Open Conton City

Push the main story to unlock Parallel Quests, Expert Missions, raids, and hub activities. Story progress also opens new mentors, the Dragon Ball Pedestal, and the QQ Bang and mixing shops.

5

Pick Your First Build Direction

Commit attribute points to one damage type early, Ki Blast Super, Strike Super, or Basic Attack, instead of spreading them evenly. A focused build clears Parallel Quests faster and is easy to fine-tune once you understand the game.

Quick Tips

  • Equip a charge skill as soon as one is unlocked so Ki never bottlenecks your supers.
  • Save your attribute points for a focused stat; Shenron can fully respec you later.
  • Complete every instructor lesson to permanently unlock their skills and Super Souls.
  • Raise friendship with key mentors to unlock race-specific rewards like Super Saiyan God.

Loadouts

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Best Builds and QQ Bangs

Recommended attribute spreads, Awoken Skills, Super Souls, and QQ Bangs for every race and playstyle. Cover Ki Blast, Strike, hybrid, raid support, and PvP builds, each with a clear focus and known weaknesses.

PvE & Raids

Ki Blast Saiyan

Max Ki Blast Super

Stack Ki Blast Super, run Super Saiyan Blue or Ultra Instinct, and spam tracking beam ultimates. The strongest general-purpose PvE damage build.

PvP Pressure

Strike Martial Artist

Max Strike Super & Basic Attack

Earthling or Majin with Potential Unleashed, high stamina, and relentless melee plus stamina-break combos. Dominates close-range PvP.

Flexible

Hybrid Balanced

Split Ki Blast & Strike

A forgiving split build for players still choosing a direction. Works in most Parallel Quests while you learn what you enjoy.

Expert Missions

Raid Support Tank

Max Health & Stamina

Majin or Namekian with Super Guard, Energy Zone, and a team-healing Super Soul. Keeps escorts and allies alive through raid hazards.

PvP Spacing

PvP Zoner

Speed & Ki Blast

Frieza Race built for movement and ranged supers, using speed to punish approaches and whiff-punish with beam supers.

Burst PvE

Glass Cannon

Max single damage stat

All-in offense paired with the Super Soul that trades defense for raw damage. High risk, but deletes stamina-broken bosses.

QQ Bangs

What a QQ Bang Does

A QQ Bang adds stat modifiers on top of your attributes and clothing. A perfect QQ Bang can add up to +5 to a key stat like Ki Blast Super or Strike Super.

Aim for One Main Stat

Craft until your primary damage stat is strongly positive, with no Ki or stamina penalty. Even a mixed QQ Bang is a big upgrade over no QQ Bang at all.

Mixing for Better Rolls

Combine higher-star clothing with matching materials and Super Mix Capsules at the QQ Bang shop to raise the ceiling on your rolls.
