Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution Overview
The Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Evolved) form, commonly referred to as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution, represents the pinnacle of Saiyan power for Create-a-Characters (CaC). Introduced as an advanced version of the standard Super Saiyan Blue, this Awoken Skill allows players to push beyond their limits, mimicking Vegeta's powerful transformation from the Tournament of Power.
Visually, the form is striking. Your character's hair shifts to a deeper, richer royal blue compared to the standard SSGSS form. Additionally, the eyes gain visible pupils and turn a darker shade of blue, while the aura becomes more intense, featuring distinct sparkles and a glowing blue outline. Beyond the aesthetics, the raw statistical advantages make it a favorite for players focusing on high-damage output in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
| Attribute | SSGSS (Standard) | SSGSS (Evolved) |
|---|---|---|
| Damage Boost | +25% All Damage | +35% All Damage |
| Damage Resistance | +5% Resistance | +10% Resistance |
| Ki Drain Rate | 10% Decrease | 18% Decrease (Buffed) |
| Visual Style | Light Blue / Cyan | Deep Blue / Sparkly |
| Ki Required | 500 (5 Bars) | 500 (5 Bars) |
While the Ki drain was notoriously difficult to manage upon release, recent 2026 balance patches have reduced the drain rate, making it much more viable for long-duration battles if you use the right support skills.
How to Unlock Blue Evolution in 2026
Unlocking the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution form is a multi-step process that requires significant progression through the game's mentor system. Unlike basic transformations that are handed out during the story, this Awoken Skill demands high-level character stats and maxed-out relationships with key Dragon Ball characters.
The primary mentor involved is Whis, but your history with Vegeta is equally important. Even though you may have unlocked the standard Blue form, you must return to the training grounds to prove you have surpassed the standard divine limits.

Reach Level 95
Your CaC must be at least Level 95. If you are stuck at Level 80, 85, or 90, visit Tosok in Conton City and pay TP Medals to instantly level up, or complete Guru's House missions to expand your level cap.
Maximize Mentor Friendships
You must reach the maximum friendship level with both Vegeta and Whis. This is best achieved by bringing them as AI partners on Parallel Quests or repeatedly completing their final training lessons while wearing their specific clothing.
Obtain Standard SSGSS
You cannot skip directly to Evolved. You must already have the standard Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan transformation unlocked from Whis (requires Level 90 and max friendship with Whis).
Speak to Whis
Once all conditions are met, locate Whis at the forest near the school. He will acknowledge your growth and grant you the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Evolved) Awoken Skill.
Whis will give this skill to any character race (Earthling, Namekian, etc.) once the requirements are met, but only Saiyans can actually equip and use the transformation in battle.
Managing the Ki Drain Mechanic
The defining characteristic of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution is its aggressive Ki drain. While the form grants unparalleled power, it constantly consumes your Ki reserves, eventually forcing a reversion to base form if your Ki hits zero. To use this form effectively, you must build your character around "Ki Auto-Recovery" mechanics.
The game calculates Ki recovery as a negative modifier in this form. In its current 2026 state, the drain is approximately 18% slower than it was at launch, but it still requires active management.
| Strategy Type | Recommended Skill/Item | Effect on Blue Evolution |
|---|---|---|
| Skill Support | Meditation | Massively increases Ki recovery for a set duration. |
| Skill Support | Divinity Unleashed | Increases Ki gain from landing hits/taking damage. |
| Super Soul | "Time for a little nap!" | Provides constant Ki Auto-Recovery (Sleep status). |
| Super Soul | "Right, then... Let's begin..." | Heavy Ki recovery when health is above 75%. |
| Super Soul | "Our two strengths..." | Permanent Medium Ki recovery with no downsides. |
Using the Super Soul "Our two strengths aren't just added together" (from the Legendary DLC pack) almost entirely nullifies the drain of Blue Evolution, allowing you to stay transformed indefinitely without needing to stop and charge.
Best 2026 Super Soul Builds
Choosing the right Super Soul is the difference between a 30-second transformation and a full-match powerhouse. Because Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution boosts all damage types equally, you have the flexibility to run Strike-heavy, Ki Blast-heavy, or Hybrid builds.
The Infinite Blue Build
- Super Soul: "Our two strengths..."
- Key Benefit: Permanent Ki recovery.
- Playstyle: Aggressive melee and frequent Supers.
The Burst Damage Build
- Super Soul: "This is everything I've got!"
- Key Benefit: Massive temporary Ki recovery.
- Playstyle: Quick finishes in Raids or Expert Missions.
The Defensive Tank
- Super Soul: "I will defeat you!"
- Key Benefit: Boosts stamina and Ki.
- Playstyle: High-level PvP where defense matters.
The most popular choice in the current meta is the Gogeta (DB Super) Super Soul. It provides a permanent "Medium" Ki recovery effect. In the game files, this translates to a value that perfectly counters the 18% drain rate of Blue Evolution, resulting in a net-zero or slightly positive Ki flow during combat.
This specific Super Soul is obtained from Parallel Quest 137. It temporarily activates Ki auto-recovery the moment you transform, making it perfect for short, high-damage bursts.
Blue Evolution vs. Other Transformations
With the addition of forms like Beast and Ultra Instinct, many players wonder if Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution is still the top choice for Saiyans. While Beast offers a higher damage ceiling (around 40%), it also significantly increases the damage you take. Blue Evolution remains the "Goldilocks" form—providing elite damage with a defensive safety net.
| Form | Damage | Defense | Drain/Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSGSS (Evolved) | +35% | +10% Resistance | High Ki Drain |
| Beast | +40% | -20% Resistance | 500 Ki (One-time) |
| Potential Unleashed | +15% | +5% Resistance | None |
| Ultra Instinct | +0% (Utility) | +0% | Stamina Drain on Dodge |
| Super Saiyan God | +0% (Basic Atk +60%) | +0% | None |
Blue Evolution is particularly effective in Raid Quests where you have ample time to charge Ki or receive Ki from allies. In these environments, the 35% damage boost to Ultimates like Final Kamehameha or Prominence Flash is unmatched by almost any other Saiyan-specific Awoken Skill.
If you are running a Strike-based build, combine Blue Evolution with Justice Combination. The 35% boost applies to every hit of the rush, leading to massive health bar depletion in seconds.
Mastery Checklist & FAQ
To ensure you have the most powerful version of the Blue Evolution form, follow this final checklist to optimize your character's potential.
SSGSS (Evolved) Completionist List:
- Reach Level 95 and unlock the level cap with Guru
- Max friendship with Vegeta (Mentor)
- Max friendship with Whis (Mentor)
- Equip a Ki-recovery Super Soul (e.g., Gogeta's)
- Test damage values in Training Mode against standard SSGSS
- Complete PQ 137 for the 'This is everything I've got!' Super Soul
Q: Does Blue Evolution drain stamina in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2?
No, Blue Evolution only drains Ki. However, if you run out of Ki and the transformation ends, you may be left vulnerable if you were mid-attack.
Q: Is Blue Evolution better than the Beast transformation?
It depends on your playstyle. Beast deals 5% more damage but makes you take 20% more damage. Blue Evolution is safer because it actually gives you 10% damage resistance.
Q: Can I use Meditation to stop the Ki drain?
Yes, Meditation significantly boosts Ki recovery and can stall the drain, but it has a limited duration and requires you to find an opening to pose during battle.
Q: Do I need to be a Saiyan to unlock the skill?
You can unlock the skill on any race by meeting the requirements with Whis, but only a Saiyan character can equip it in the Awoken Skill slot.
As of 2026, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Blue Evolution remains the premier choice for Saiyan players who want the perfect balance of overwhelming offensive power and respectable defensive utility. With the right Super Soul, the Ki drain becomes a non-factor.
