Understanding the Advancement Test System
The advancement test system in Conton City serves as the primary gateway for character progression and skill acquisition. These tests are administered at the Patroller Academy, located near the Orange Star High School area. To progress through the ranks, players must not only complete the tests but also meet specific story milestones and training requirements with various instructors.

- Specific requirements for unlocking the Super Class advancement test.
- The "Three Criteria" rule for guaranteed Z-rank performance.
- Step-by-step strategy for the final Super Class encounter.
As of 2026, the meta for these tests focuses on high-efficiency builds that can quickly deplete enemy health while maintaining a high combo count. The tests are tiered by difficulty, and each tier unlocks access to higher-level instructors who can teach more powerful techniques.
| Test Tier | Difficulty | Primary Reward | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 1-Star | Basic Training Access | Complete Tutorial |
| Intermediate | 2-Star | Intermediate Skills | Story Progression |
| Advanced | 3-Star | Advanced Skills | Story Progression |
| Kai | 4-Star | Elite Training | Story Progression |
| God | 5-Star | God-Tier Skills | Story Progression |
| Super Class | 6-Star | Potential Unleashed | Z-Rank on All Previous |
If you are struggling to unlock the next test, check your "Total Training" bar in the Play Data menu. You often need to complete more lessons with instructors to trigger the next advancement opportunity.
How to Achieve Z Rank Consistently
Achieving a Z-rank in a Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 advancement test is less about raw power and more about technical performance. The game evaluates your performance based on a hidden point system. To consistently hit the Z-rank threshold, you must aim for specific bonuses that provide the highest point yields.
Speed Bonus
Finish the entire test in under 3 minutes. This is the single most important factor for your final score.
Survivor Bonus
Maintain your health above 80%. Use evasive maneuvers and blocks to avoid unnecessary chip damage.
Finisher Bonus
Always defeat the final enemy using an Ultimate Skill. This adds a massive flat bonus to your total points.
Beyond these three pillars, you can further boost your score by performing specific actions during the fight. These "Evaluation Criteria" are cumulative, so stacking as many as possible is the best strategy for players who might struggle with the time limit.
| Evaluation Criteria | Requirement | Point Value |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate Finish | Finish last enemy with Ultimate | High |
| Transformed Finish | Finish last enemy while transformed | Medium |
| Accurate | Maintain 80% accuracy with attacks | Medium |
| Combo Adept | Perform a 20+ hit combo | Medium |
| No Damage | Take zero damage during the fight | Massive |
| Lead Fighter | Land the first 5 hits of the match | Low |
Relying solely on the time and health bonuses might only grant you an S-rank on the higher-tier tests like God or Super Class. You must incorporate the Ultimate Finish to bridge the gap to Z-rank.
Super Class Advancement Test Walkthrough
The Super Class test is the final hurdle in the advancement series. Unlike previous tests, simply winning is not enough to unlock the most prestigious rewards. This test pits you against a gauntlet of powerful foes, including Pan, Jaco, Broly, and Beerus.
Initial Engagement with Pan
Pan is the first opponent. Use this phase to build your Ki and Stamina. Since she has lower health, avoid using Ultimates here unless you have a massive Ki reserve. Focus on building a high combo count to trigger the "Combo Adept" bonus early.
Managing Jaco and Broly
Jaco is elusive but fragile, while Broly is a tank with high super armor. The key here is to use an Ultimate Skill to finish off at least one of these two. This ensures you meet the "Multiple Ultimate Finishes" hidden requirement for the Z-rank in this specific mission.
The Final Showdown with Beerus
Beerus is the final boss and has high evasion. Save at least three bars of Ki for a guaranteed Ultimate hit. Wait for him to exhaust his stamina or use a heavy stamina break combo before launching your finisher.
To secure the Z-rank here, expert players recommend finishing at least three of the four enemies with an Ultimate Skill. While the general rule for other tests is only the final enemy, the Super Class test has a much higher point threshold.
| Opponent | Strategy | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Pan | Build Ki / High Combos | Low |
| Jaco | Quick Ultimate Finish | Medium |
| Broly | Stamina Break then Ultimate | High |
| Beerus | Final Ultimate Finish | Critical |
Using a transformation like Super Saiyan 3 or Golden Form while delivering the final blow adds the "Transformed Finish" bonus, which can be the deciding factor between an S and a Z rank.
Rewards: Potential Unleashed and Beyond
Passing the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 advancement test at the Super Class level rewards you with one of the most versatile skills in the game: Potential Unleashed. Unlike racial transformations, this Awoken skill can be used by any character class and provides a balanced buff without the drawbacks of high Ki drain or reduced defense.
| Attribute | Potential Unleashed | Super Saiyan Blue |
|---|---|---|
| Damage Buff | +15% All Damage | +25% All Damage |
| Ki Recovery | Increased | Significantly Reduced |
| Defense | No Change | Slight Reduction |
| Stamina Regen | Increased | No Change |
| Activation | 5 Bars of Ki | 5 Bars of Ki |
Additionally, completing this test is a mandatory requirement for unlocking Broly as an instructor. Broly can be found floating near the Mushroom Desert area once the test is completed. He provides some of the most powerful physical strike skills in the game, making him essential for melee-focused builds.
Potential Unleashed is widely considered the best transformation for Earthlings and Namekians in 2026 due to its excellent Ki recovery and lack of negative stat modifiers.
Preparation and Build Checklist
Before attempting the God or Super Class tests, ensure your character is properly equipped. High-level tests require a balance of burst damage and survivability.
Pre-Test Requirements:
- Reach at least Level 80 for the Super Class test
- Equip a 'Super Soul' that boosts Ki recovery or Ultimate damage
- Unlock a reliable Ultimate like 'Perfect Kamehameha' or 'Final Flash'
- Stock up on Senzu Beans or high-level health capsules
- Achieve Z-rank on all 5 preliminary tests
For the Ultimate Finish, choose skills with tracking or wide areas of effect. "Elegant Blaster" is a great choice because it forces the AI to lose lock-on, giving you a safe window to fire. Alternatively, "Justice Combination" is a strike-based Ultimate that is very difficult for the AI to vanish out of once the first hit connects.
| Recommended Ultimate | Type | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect Kamehameha | Ki Blast | Invincibility during startup |
| Justice Combination | Strike | Fast execution, high hit count |
| Emperor's Death Beam | Ki Blast | Tracks target, multiple hits |
| Super Nova Cooler | Ki Blast | Massive AOE, hard to dodge |
If you find yourself taking too much damage, equip the 'I'm neither Kami nor Piccolo' Super Soul. It provides health regeneration when your stamina is at max, helping you stay above that crucial 80% threshold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why hasn't the next advancement test appeared yet?
You likely need to progress further in the main story or increase your training rank. Check the Patroller Academy and ensure your 'Total Training' bar is sufficiently filled by completing lessons with mentors.
Q: Do I need Z-rank on the Super Class test to get Potential Unleashed?
No, you only need to pass the Super Class test to unlock the skill. However, you must have Z-ranks on all five previous tests (Easy through God) just to unlock the Super Class mission.
Q: What is the fastest way to build Ki for an Ultimate Finish?
Equip the 'Maximum Charge' or 'Burst Charge' skills. Using these after knocking an opponent away is the most efficient way to ensure you have enough Ki for a finisher.
Q: Can I use items during the advancement tests?
Yes, you can use capsules, but be aware that using too many items may slightly penalize your score. It is better to use a health-regen Super Soul to maintain the 80% health requirement.
