Dragon Ball Sparking Zero takes the fundamentals of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and brings it to modern consoles, but with crisper visuals, larger arenas, almost double the characters, and more. The game is more than just a successor to the beloved 2007 game. It is the definitive way to experience Dragon Ball in gaming media. If you are a fan of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 or a new player boarding the hype train, there are a lot of tips and tricks the game doesn’t explicitly tell you. 

Don’t worry, we’re here to fix that in this guide with a few tips and tricks of our own that will smoothen the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero experience for you. 

1) Yes, You Need An Extensive Tutorial

Whether you’re a new player or a Budokai Tenkaichi veteran, the Beginner Battle Training is a must. While the game offers a tutorial, it gives you a very simple run-down and ends before you know it. Instead, boot up the menu and go to Super Training → Battle Training. The Battle Training mode goes over basics such as Basic Maneuvers, Ki Blasts, Super Attacks, Counters, Specials and much more. The mode will help you sharpen your fundamentals and give you an edge in battle. 

2) Keep Track of Zen-Oh’s Orders

Zen-Oh’s Orders are a list of battle challenges that you can complete to earn rewards. These challenges start out basic and easy but become more complex as you keep checking them off. We recommend keeping tabs on these challenges as they offer lucrative rewards such as Zeni and new outfits, and, most importantly, the Dragon Balls that you can use to grant wishes. 

3) Stuck on a Battle? Buy Upgrades

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero can be deceptively difficult at times. It is fair, considering the enemies you fight are planet-bursting gods, robots and aliens. However, the challenge they bring can be frustrating at times. Thankfully, the game gives you an out through the use of upgrades. You can buy upgrades from the Shop. These ability upgrades can buff your combos, your specials, increase sparking duration and more. These upgrades will help you even the odds. 

4) Extensive Accessibility Options

The game offers extensive Accessibility options to make your play time smooth. You can access these settings by going to Options → Accessibility. The settings allow you to customize controls, turn on battle assist, combo assist, dragon dash, toggle a left-handed mode, and so much more. The accessibility settings and the assist options will make your battles easier as you see fit.   

5) The Ki to Victory

Ki is a crucial aspect of the power scaling of the Dragon Ball Universe, and this is no different in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Ki in the game allows you to dash, and use blasts as well as specials. Naturally, managing Ki is an essential part of your battle strategy. You can also charge Ki so you don’t have to hold back and save up Ki, but you have to be tactical about when you charge. Create distance between you and your opponent, be wary of ranged attacks, and look for cover before you decide to charge Ki in the midst of battle.
