Meta Shift: Fighter Balances and Legends Road

The Buff to SP FF Frieza YEL specifically has made this Fighter not only deal significantly more Damage than before but also gave him very high Defensive stats. This is especially important in the current Meta since SP SSJ3 Goku PUR has an equally absurd Offensive powerhouse, but one that SP FF Frieza YEL can compete against.

His Extra Move, is now long-range as opposed to mid-range. This allows him to not only gain a potential Color advantage and Combo opportunity, but if timed correctly – to stop a Rising Rush attempt dead in its tracks.

This Fighter will, of course, go into a Frieza Force Team as it’s most high priority Fighter. He pairs excellently with EX Dodoria GRN because he gives SP FF Frieza YEL a gigantic Strike Attack Buff when they are switched.

SP Goku PUR is now currently one of the most well-rounded, versatile Fighters. With multiple Crisis Abilities, He’s downright frightening as the last one alive. He gains a 30% Strike Damage Buff when two Teammates are down, as well as an 80% increase to Special Move power.

He fits into a standard Saiyan Team as their primary Purple Fighter, but can also be paired with SP SSJ3 Goku PUR, for his  Strike and Blast Defense his Z-Ability, and SP Majin Vegeta RED or SP Super Gogeta RED to form the classic PPR Color Counter Team.

SP Captain Ginyu GRN was already the primary Defense Fighter for the Frieza Force, but his Buffs have made him a brick wall.

Like SP Goku PUR, he was a Defensive Fighter that had trouble keeping up with the powerful Meta Fighters, but not anymore. It’s also important to note that this Fighter now gives an upgraded Z-Ability Buff at 5 stars, which is an extra 28% Strike Attack to the Frieza Force Tag. He can bait out Purple Fighters for SP FF Frieza YEL to destroy and deal significant amounts of Damage, himself.

It used to be a disappointment to pull this Fighter, but not anymore. He now boasts some of the highest Strike Attack and Health in the game and as an upgraded Z-Ability.

A forgotten aspect about this Fighter was his Unique Ability, which increases Strike Damage against the Frieza Force Tag. Interestingly, as Frieza Force gains popularity, so will SP Paikuhan YEL as a counter.

SP Paikuhan YEL currently does not have a set Team, but with his Z-Ability giving 25% Strike Defense to Sagas Warriors so he could fit into a that Team Build somewhere down the line.

SP Coora GRN is a Ranged Fighter with respectable Health and Defenses. Everything about this Fighter’s toolkit allows him to make use of his huge Blast Attack stat. He also gets increasingly stronger the more Enemy Fighters he defeats, gaining 25% to Blast Damage inflicted for each one.

Not only does he do absurd amounts of Blast Damage, but he also has a fair amount of utility as well. His Extra Move inflicts Bleed, destroys three cards at random, decreases the Enemy’s card draw speed for 10 timer counts, and also has a 20% chance to inflict Faint.

As far as Teams go, because his Z-Ability at 5 stars increases Sagas Warrior Blast Attack and Defense, so he could be slotted into that Team. Somewhere down the line, he could also work well with other Lineage of Evil Fighters once it gains Z-Synergy.

With the new Legends Road Event, a new obtainable Sparking Fighter was released in SP Youth Goku YEL. Despite being obtainable for free, this Fighter has very strong stats and would slot into a standard Saiyan Team quite nicely as their primary Yellow Fighter. He has great Synergy as he is a Melee Fighter as well, which most of the popular Saiyans are.

One of the more interesting parts of his kit is his Extra Move, Obedient Cyclone. This move repels Enemy Blast and Ki Attacks and gives a 15% Strike Buff to his already high Strike Attack when used.

This Fighter works well in a Saiyan Team if a Yellow Fighter is needed, especially since the standard Saiyan Team is Melee-oriented. Because of his Z-Ability, a potential Dragon Ball Saga Team is possible down the road.
