Top Fighter Tier List

Why this Tier?

• He's the best all-around unit in the game. He brings damage, support, defense, and has been running rampant in PVP for what seems like an eternity at this point.
   
• For a while, SP SSJ2 Gohan RED didn't have the greatest supporting cast, but the release of SP Super Saiyan Gohan (Youth) PUR, the Zenkai of SP Super Saiyan Teen Gohan BLU, and the always indomitable SP LL Super Saiyan Gohan YEL has formed what is likely the best team in the game.

Discussion:

Historically, SP SSJ2 Gohan RED took a bit of time or a dead ally to really get going, but with his Zenkai 7 boost, he can take many fighters out even at the very onset of the match. His Zenkai boost has bolstered basically everything he did exceptionally well in his prime, fixed his problems early on the match, and even threw in some support qualities for good measure. Even blue units are not safe from SP SSJ2 Gohan RED.

Why this Tier?

• He’s the best LF released in recent memory, when it comes to not only stats but toolkit as well, even at 3 stars.
• His toolkit is overall excellent, but the incredibly oppressive Revive mechanic puts him over the edge.

Discussion

SP Super Saiyan 2 Youth Gohan PUR has drastically changed the landscape of the game due to his kit but also the teams he fits into. SP SSJ2 Gohan RED was already considered one of the best units in the game, but now that he has a buzzsaw like this Reviving Gohan by his side, these two are going to share the top spot for a very long time.
 

There’s really no wrong answer as far as who is better than the other as they both compliment each other perfectly.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai boost has finally done him justice, as he’s a formidable fighter in multiple facets of PVP
• PVP matches can quickly get out of hand if he’s able to force enough switches.

Discussion

SP SSJ3 Goku GRN was a bit underrated on release. While seemingly “balanced,” he’s still an exceptional all around unit that has a ton of durability, and a nuclear bomb Ultimate that’s hard to survive.

He still possesses his Cover:Rescue which puts a lot of pressure on the opposing Team. Most importantly, his Ultimate Move  -- supplemented by his Main Ability nullifying color disadvantage -- is now one of the hardest hitting Ultimate Moves in the game. Not many can afford to stand in it’s way, especially if he’s managed to build up some Buffs via his “Thank you, Dragon Balls!” Unique Ability.

Why this Tier?

• He really conveys the character from the anime, someone with an indomitable fighting spirit who can do everything he can to help his Team win.
• His base stats are on the lower side, but he and his teammates more than makeup for it.

Discussion

Gohan’s toolkit is simply sensational. Very high Damage inflicted boosts, Endurance, permanent Card Draw Speed, and tons of Support all wrapped in one. Most notably, he's right alongside insane units like SP SSJ Youth Gohan PUR and SP SSJ2 Gohan RED. His Endurance and Support are absolutely invaluable for these two, and Gohan more than holds his own on the field himself. Hybrid Saiyans have been (almost inexplicably) getting a multitude of additions and buffs, and Future Gohan has benefitted from them all. Due to being such a vital part of the best team in the game, he deserves Z Tier for this update.

Why this Tier?

• At Zenkai Level 7, he Heals for a tremendous amount from his Main Ability and Soft Body Unique Ability, and is generally incredibly hard to take down.

• His lock-in/ability to lock Strike arts can potentially be game-changing

Discussion

Good Buu doesn't seem like he'll ever age barring the PVP changes that are due to come at the end of the year, seemingly intended to tone down Zenkai units. Until then, he'll continue being the backbone of Regeneration.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai Boost has made him similar to his prime -- durable to start the match and devastating to end the match.
   
• God Ki's lack of a red hurt the team as a whole, but LF Merged Zamasu has changed that

Discussion:

He operates pretty similar to his release. Granted the landscape of the game is much different, but he's still exceptionally well rounded. He's extremely resilient, hard to catch with his Main Ability recovering his entire Vanish Gauge, his Ultimate Move is devastating, and he's great late game as well.

Why this Tier?

• He’s the best Extreme to ever release in Dragon Ball Legends.
• He completely destroys Hybrid Saiyans but is effective against any Tag too.

Discussion

EX Gokua BLU is a strange choice for such a ridiculous EX unit, but he does it all. He’s a direct counter to one of the best teams in the entire game in Hybrid Saiyan -- most notably obliterating SP SSJ2 Gohan RED -- and unlike other EX units has ridiculously good stats to back it up. Through his locks, absolutely devastating Special Move, hand refill upon Transforming, and Health Z-Ability for Sagas, Gokua will remain relevant quite possibly from now until the end of time.

Why this Tier?

• He's still the engine behind devastating Super Saiyan based teams.

• He's even seeing some play alongside powerful Super Saiyan Hybrids like SP LL Super Saiyan Gohan YEL and SP Super Saiyan Gohan (Youth) PUR

Discussion:

He was pretty significantly held back by his team when his Zenkai first dropped, but he's seen a consistent amount of play after a few releases. As long as Super Saiyans are released, Bardock will be relevant. Funnily enough, there seems to be a somewhat reoccurring theme of new Super Saiyan releases having stats that aren't the greatest, with Bardocks effectiveness being thought of as the main culprit.

Why this Tier?

• He’s a solid all around unit with formidable defenses.
• His cover nullification is insanely valuable in this meta.

Discussion

SP SSJ4 Goku PUR continues the theme of Zenkais who weren’t changed too drastically, but didn’t need too much anyway. His ability to nullify Cover Change when he hops onto the battlefield is an exceptional addition considering how prevalent they are in the Meta. GT now has a complete color wheel and he's a huge part of their success.

Why this Tier?

• He’s a transforming Defense type, which is something a team like Sagas From The Movies and especially Powerful Opponent needed.
• His Awakened Arts Card is basically unavoidable and does mind-boggling damage.

Discussion

Despite the fact that he and SP SSJ Youth Gohan PUR had a fierce rivalry, these two compliment each other marvelously. These two can seemingly cycle between each other endlessly in the average game, covering each others weaknesses and stalling until they are both fully built up and ready to go. Boujack crucially lowers his teammates sub count when an opposing Rising Rush is about to hit, making him and a Revive unit like Gohan a lethal and game-winning combination.

His role on Powerful Opponent is simple but effective. The team has traditionally been hyper-offensive and urgently needed a Tank.

Why this Tier?

• His Extra Move makes him incredibly hard to hit and to play against in general. He gains Ki every few timer counts he stays on the battlefield, pairing well with his aforementioned Extra Move. 

Discussion

He’s one of the more annoying units in the game to go up against, but also deals some of the most damage, especially if limit broken a considerable amount. On top of his constant Debuffs and seemingly endless Combo potential, his Main Ability can remove Attribute Upgrades which can cripple certain units.Regeneration has plenty of support around him to help as well.

Why this Tier?

• He’s one of the best Damage dealers in the game, and his sub-count Uniques make him and his Team very hard to play against.
• He’s a bit more fragile than other Zenkais, his Card Draw Speed is situational and has no Ki Restore when swapped into the battlefield.

Discussion

SP SSJ2 Trunks BLU is a devastating Offensive powerhouse, but the lack of consistent card draw speed and no Ki Restore on switch in is something an Offensive unit like this desperately needs. Luckily for him, he's part of the best team in the game in Hybrid Saiyans, so these flaws don't seem as noticeable.

There’s really no wrong choice between SP Super Saiyan Teen Gohan BLU and Trunks. Gohan fits a more defensive and sustain-based playstyle whereas Trunks favors a more Offensive style with an incentive on picking units off with his Main Ability + Special Move.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai boost gave him a big stat buff and went a long way in terms of rectifying his low Strike Attack.
• His Zenkai was ultimately unnecessary at first as we still preferred SP Demon King Piccolo YEL on the core, but there's a solid Ranged-centric Regen team now.

Discussion

It’s unclear why Piccolo was given the Zenkai with much older units around in dire need of one instead, but for what it’s worth it has made him a pretty solid unit once again. SP Kid Buu BLU and SP Demon King Piccolo PUR lead the way for the Blast-regen variation, and SP Piccolo YEL synergizes very well with all of them.

Why this Tier?

• His Ki battery when he drops below 35 Ki gives him a steady stream of Ki and a seemingly non-stop increase in Damage inflicted.
• His color is a bit of a strange choice and creates a lateral move at best in a few of his team options, but he’s still great in God Ki.

Discussion

He has a lot of competition on Universe Survival Saga with SP Android #17 YEL and on Vegeta Family/Saiyan with SP Vegeta YEL, but creates an interesting dynamic in God Ki in comparison to SP Gogeta Blue YEL. Truthfully, there is no wrong answer here. Vegeta seems to have a more consistent damage output from start to finish and some more survivability, whereas Gogeta Blue is not too far behind damage wise, but has the opportunity to land a potential game-changing Extra Move. Both can share S Tier since the debate between the two is so close.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an upgrade to the Saiyan red slot, and they were already a strong team.
• He’s great all-around but most importantly brings along Endurance.

Discussion

He doesn’t necessarily blow anyone away in one single aspect, but brings multiple elements to Saiyan that they really appreciate, namely Endurance and an AoE Extra Move. The red slot was the only thing one could point to as a minor flaw for Saiyan, seeing as Super Gogeta didn’t buff the Tag and Ultra Goku was a bit of a weak link, but now they’ve been propelled even more despite already being one of the best teams in the game.

Why this Tier?

• He's a solid Offensive powerhouse with some decent durability.
• While he's still a force without SP SSJ Bardock BLU, the difference without him is palpable.

Discussion:

Super Gogeta has almost everything a unit would want Offensively. When he comes in, he restores Ki, has a 50% Damage buff, and maybe most importantly: increases his Arts Card draw speed. He does have a bit of “scaling” up to do in the sense that he needs to use Strike or Blast arts cards to get some additional Damage inflicted Buffs, but even before then, he’s still phenomenal off the bat.

His Extra Move was among one of the most difficult to use with little incentive to actually use it. After his Zenkai, if he’s able to land his Extra Move he gets a huge Damage inflicted Buff, clears Enemy Attribute Upgrades, and is now finally able to combo off of it.

He and SP SSJ Bardock BLU do form an excellent duo, but it's become very apparent at this point that Super Gogeta needs Bardock more than Bardock needs him. The Super Saiyan crit-based team has gone away from its traditional set-up and now either has a Blue-Blue-Purple or Hybrid-centric setup. 

Why this Tier?

• His 4 lock-ins are potentially game-changing, allowing him to Rising Rush or use his Ultimate Move on someone of his choosing.
• He does work well in God Ki, but the team has no support without Vados, who is also Green.

Discussion

GoD Toppo is an excellent addition to God Ki, providing even more Rising Rush control, this time on the Offensive side of things. With so many Endurance and Revive units in the meta, his locks are exceptionally beneficial to the team.

While he’s a better standalone unit than Vados, her healing/support capabilities are pretty vital to the team, so God Ki -- despite being solid -- still feels like there’s a small element missing regardless of which green is used. Either way, Toppo’s game-changing lock-in abilities justifies his placement in S Tier for now.

Why this Tier?

• He’s a debilitating Damage dealer that can catch people in a tandem that constantly forces them down and keeps them down, via his card destruction after killing an Enemy.
• At both 3 and 6 stars he’s a bit fragile, but most of his teams can help keep him healthy.

Discussion

While Zamasu’s most glaring flaw is his survivability, his God Ki and especially Regeneration teammates can help him stay alive and do what he does best with a multitude of Cover Changes as well as Healing capabilities. One of the most notable parts of his toolkit is his AOE Extra Move which locks the opponent in and also puts him at type neutral for a few timer counts. This can outright win the game in some instances if he’s able to trap an important unit, which subsequently allows him to keep destroying cards after defeating an Enemy, constantly giving him the upper hand.

Why this Tier?

• He's a stat-beast of a Zenkai with an excellent supporting cast on every team he's played on.

• He's woeful for the first 15 timer counts due to needing to Transform, his Special Move is not that difficult to play around in most instances, and he's predominantly a last-man-standing fighter.

Discussion:

SP Angry Goku BLU is still good, but by no means the oppressive force he used to be. While he's hard to take down and is on some of the best teams in the game, he has his fair share of flaws as well. Needing to wait multiple timer counts to Transform,  needing to wait multiple timer counts for a significant Damage increase, his clunky force-switch Extra Move, one-dimensional form of Attack as well as the fact that he needs teammates to start dying in order to really inflict some serious punishment really holds him back.

SP Angry Goku BLU does work well on a Blast variation of Saiyan, but really slows down the Bardock-led Super Saiyan team due to his 15 timer count prerequisite in order to actually turn into a Super Saiyan. Alternatively, if he's used on Son Family, it's preferable the Last Man Standing unit is SP SSJ2 Gohan RED, which in turn is simply another flaw for SP Angry Goku BLU. It's hard to shine and be at his best when another unit on his team should be the last unit alive in almost every instance.

Why This Tier?

• His Transformation has to meet one of 2 conditions, so he has to hold out and stall until that point.
• After Transforming, he’s one of the best units in the entire game.

Discussion

He needs to wait 30 timer counts or until he’s amassed 5 Dragon Balls in order to Transform, but afterwards he’s a devastating Offensive powerhouse. Through his Transformation completely refilling his Ki and hand, to debilitating Debuffs, to high Damage inflicted and card draw speed on entry, SP Demon King Piccolo PUR will be extremely hard to stop.

Why this Tier?

• She can absolutely devastate Saiyan teams, especially off of an SP Android #21 BLU switch.

• Androids aren't necessarily being neglected, but have taken a backseat in terms of meta relevance and popularity.

Discussion:

Android #18 had been wreaking havoc in PVP ever since her Zenkai, but the Android team has not changed much in quite a few updates. Games with her can still get out of hand, but Androids really need a complete color wheel. The "Girls" Tag might have a better color wheel but historically has always been wildly unpopular. She has all the potential in the world to go back up to Z Tier, but for now, she'll remain in S.

Why this Tier?

• His Countdown to Despair Main Ability can swing the tides of a Match by stealing dragon balls from the Enemy and giving them to the Player.

• His Zenkai 7 makes him among the hardest hitters in the entire game.

Discussion:

He and SP Piccolo YEL are interchangeable on the Regeneration core. He’s strike based,does great damage, and his Dragon Ball manipulation helps take advantage of one of the more powerful mechanics in the game in Rising Rushes. Alternatively, Piccolo is much more Ranged-focus and offers a bit more support and survivability. Either one can work, it ultimately depends on which units the Player has or prefers on the core. 

Why this Tier?

• He’s a basic, but conventional Support.
• He’s fragile, and his damage is lacking.

Discussion

He shouldn’t really be seeing the field too often as he’s mostly a Ki Battery with some bits and pieces of Damage and Defensive thrown into the mix, but his base stats and low percentages don’t really allow him to thrive in these situations. He’s an excellent Support through the aforementioned Ki Restore + Damage Inflicted when swapped out, but also due to his Team-wide Heal and and sub count reduction.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an excellent Ranged damage dealer that goes a long way in terms of reviving GT, but also keeps Vegeta Family going with their relatively new Ranged focus.
• He actually adds a different dimension to Saiyan, essentially splitting the Team into two variations, both of which work equally well.

Discussion

For a while now, Saiyan has been predominantly led by SP SSJ Bardock BLU with the red unit being SP Super Gogeta RED. SP SSJ4 Vegeta RED much prefers a Blast variation with SP Angry Goku BLU and SP SSJ3 Goku GRN.

While SSJ4 Vegeta and Super Gogeta are a close call when comparing each other directly, both variations of Saiyan work just as well, with each having strengths and flaws that balance each other out. As a result, SP SSJ4 Vegeta RED has created a new ripple in the Tier list by putting some of the stronger Saiyan units on par with each other, and leaving Z Tier reserved for only the absolute best

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai has made him even more annoying to play against than ever before.
• He pairs excellently with SP Android #18 YEL

Discussion

SP Super #17 GRN is intolerably durable. Whether it’s his innate survivability via high base stats, his Unique Abilities, his crippling energy-absorbing Extra Move, or his Ultimate Move which paralyzes the entire Team, fighting this unit is like fighting in quicksand.

His Offensively capabilities take a few prerequisites to unlock, but for a monstrous tank/disruptor type, he can output some very serviceable Damage, especially after his Main Ability. There’s plenty of Ranged Blue units in this Meta, and Super 17 completely nullifies them. Alternatively, he draws out Purples due to how hard he is to kill otherwise, which feeds right into what SP Android #18 YEL wants.

Why this Tier?

• He has an annoying AoE Extra Move, Endurance, a Strike lock and much more.
• His damage is quite low.

Discussion

Majuub is a much-welcomed addition to GT and especially Fusion Warriors, doing a little bit of everything for both teams. His Extra Move is especially powerful not only due to being an AoE but also because it draws him a card. Fusion Warriors especially needed the support element and team heal aspect of his toolkit. On GT, he pairs excellently with SP Super #17 GRN as well as his banner mate SP SSJ3 Goku BLU. Super 17 draws both of these units those Extra Moves they desire while also being a brick wall of a tank himself, and also providing some scary damage late game.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai boost made him a brick wall on Defense and gave him some other notable utilities.
• He helps try and bring Lineage of Evil back, but also works pretty well with SP LL Vegeta RED on a pseudo Frieza Force setup.

Discussion

He, SP LL FF Frieza YEL and the aforementioned Vegeta actually form an unconventional Frieza Force/Powerful Opponent setup which is pretty effective. The other 2 colors are a bit of a weak point, but one can get by with this trio in most matchups. Even in traditional Lineage of Evil, this Frieza bolsters their viability a ton with a ton of tanking and stalling due to his Zenkai boost giving him card draw speed.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an excellent beatstick with a potentially game-changing Extra Move, and his cover nullification is extremely valuable in this meta.
• He’s excessively fragile, has no card draw speed, and needs some time to build up his Damage uniques.

Discussion

At 3 stars, he really struggles against some of the better Teams in the game which are filled with Zenkai units with massive base stats. He can’t take a hit, and it takes him a few Combos to really get going. No card draw speed also really hurts a unit like this, who relies on using cards as much/quickly as possible whether it’s via stacking his Unique or eliminating an opposing unit after landing his Extra Move.

His Extra Move can borderline eliminate a lot of opposing units, but one mistake here can be disastrous for him. His Extra Move is too much of a double edged sword, and while it's similar to SP Super Gogeta RED's Extra Move, Super Gogeta can at least afford to take Damage. 

At 6 stars, his damage improves significantly and his Cover nullification has a much larger impact on the outcome of the game.

Why this Tier?

• He gives Powerful Opponent a much needed Yellow unit that buffs the tag, and helps bring Frieza Force back into relevancy.
• He follows the theme of LF units that were released before SP SSJ Gohan (Youth) PUR in the sense that he needs many limit breaks.

Discussion

Frieza is an excellent Offensive powerhouse with some Support qualities sprinkled into his toolkit, as well as Unique Abilities that don’t really rely on needing massive base stats. Ideally, however, he’d still like to reach approximately 6 stars and above to really start taking off. He’s simply way too fragile to be used very consistently at 2-3 stars.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai 7 boost has made him one of the hardest hitters in the entire game and fixed his lack of durability.
• He's excellent on a Strike-based Saiyan team but is pretty one-dimensional both in forms of attack and what he's able to provide to a team.

Discussion:

He's an incredible Offensive pivot due to the Ki restore on entry and the ability to draw a Strike card. He's very slightly fallen off in terms of popularity, but Saiyan teams are surrounded by powerful Zenkais and he's still a great core choice.

Why this Tier?

• He has a ridiculous amount of Unique Abilities that increase his Damage output, as well as Restore his Ki.
   
• Despite being an LF Zenkai which might seem daunting, he has some team problems.

Discussion:

Keep in mind the tier list has the best theoretical teams in mind. If this is the case, there is no real reason to use Goten over SP SSJ Youth Gohan PUR. Clearly, Goten has S-Tier effectiveness but is primarily going to only make the core on a Purple-Purple-Red Hybrid setup. While a good team, you’d just be better off bringing SP LL Super Saiyan Gohan YEL for the invaluable Endurance and more complete color wheel. Of course, if Revive Gohan has not been acquired, absolutely use Goten as the primary core Purple.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an excellent all around unit with a potentially game-changing Main Ability, which draws a locking Special Move
• Universe Survival Saga is still a work in progress and he needs limit breaks to surpass Android #18

Discussion

It’s unfortunate he shares the same color as SP Android #18 YEL — one of the most oppressive units this game has ever seen — as he would’ve been a solid addition to Android, helping them complete a full color wheel.

Luckily for him, while Universe Survival Saga could still use a little more, he likely won’t have to wait long for reinforcements. He will likely start being more common once he returns, as he's only been on o few banners. He's very close to S.

Why this tier?

• He’s a very good Defensive pivot and extremely hard to kill.
• He can struggle to do Damage unless he’s able to land Special Move Arts Cards.

Discussion:

The Super Saiyan team led by SP SSJ Bardock BLU is ripe with Offensive powerhouses, so Z7 Broly GRN really doesn’t need to fill that role. He can tank just about anything, and even put out surprisingly high Damage with his Extra Move into Special Move combo. Despite the new SP SSJ Trunks GRN, Broly’s stats seem to make him the primary core choice in most instances on Sagas,. He and SP Boujack RED are able to switch between each other endlessly, while SP Super Saiyan Gohan (Youth) PUR waits in the wings to take a potentially fatal attack or Rising Rush.

Why this Tier?

• Despite being a regular 1% banner unit (read: Not a Zenkai unit), he actually holds up quite alright in the meta. His Main Ability into Ultimate Move can be devastating.
• Sagas has gotten a lot of help recently and Metal Cooler is a bit more enticing now.

Discussion

The releases of SP SSJ Youth Gohan PUR and SP Boujack RED are an enormous boon for someone like Metal Cooler. He’s not exactly going to set the world on fire but he’s a sold, situational choice fighting for their top Green slot. His Ultimate is still devastating, and he provides a monstrous Z-Ability buff for Boujack especially.

Why this Tier?

• She’s an absolutely phenomenal support unit.
• Her stats are quite low, and her survivability is a massive flaw.

Discussion

SP Vados GRN has a wealth of team choices at her disposal, even giving some slight incentive to Green Color Counter teams due to a lot of units who share these colors having a lot of synergy with her.

Her fragility can be a big problem, as her “Brisk Council” requires her to be switched in and out quite often. One mistake can be the end of her or put her teammates at serious risk. All that being said, she has a plethora of other uniques that more than make up for it.

Why this Tier?

• He follows the trend set by SP Android #17 YEL and SP Toppo BLU as exceptionally well-rounded 1% units.
• He has a little bit of everything in his toolkit from survivability, to offense, to support.

Discussion

While he’s only considered 7 stars on the list, he still performs excellently in all facets of combat with no particular weaknesses. Past 7 stars, he really starts to take over games and scales better than most units. Barring a looming SP Super Vegito PUR Zenkai, he’s looking like the mainstay on all of the teams he buffs for a long time.

Why this Tier?

• He was an exceptional Tank with high Strike Damage and utility.
   

• He draws an Ultimate Arts Card that deals massive Damage and effectively removes the substitution count of his Teammates.
   

Discussion:

True to the nature of most Gohan variants, SP SSJ Teen Gohan BLU is incredibly resilient and doesn’t go down without a fight. His Cover only gets stronger if someone on his Team is defeated, and he trades his Cover Ability in for Damage inflicted when he’s the last one alive.

He slots into one of the best teams in the game in Hybrid Saiyans as their stat-beast of a tank. Zenkai SSJ2 Trunks is a good Hybrid choice as well due to his hellacious Offense, but there's really no wrong answer here.

Why this Tier?

• He’s Defense, Support, and a bit of Damage all rolled into one.
• The addition of GoD Toppo GRN makes Rival Universe a well rounded team.

Discussion

He’s a 1% unit done right. He’s durable, he helps his team, he has Endurance, and his Damage can ramp up too. On top of the aforementioned qualities, his Ultimate Move also possesses a lock-in, subsequently being able to trap and take out a crucial enemy unit.

Why this Tier?

• His Revive mechanic puts a ton of pressure on the opposing team.
• His damage is low, and needs to be limit broken quite a bit.

Discussion:

SP Angry Goku BLU is a devastating and deceptively durable Last Man Standing fighter for Saiyans, and SP SSGSS Goku BLU is sensational all-around for God Ki. A Blue Color Counter (BBP) team is not recommended in high-level PVP. 

That being said, the new LF Merged Zamasu really appreciates such a defensive Stallworth like Revive Goku. In most instances, the aforementioned SSGSS Goku BLU is better, but Revive Goku does serve a bit of a more important role now. 
 

Why this Tier?

• His Damage potential is mind-boggling, and he actually has a good team this time around.
• He’s a bit fragile.

Discussion: 

SP Hit PUR rounds out the Rival Universe team quite nicely with a much needed Purple Damage dealer. They now have a full color wheel, and a multitude of Defensive pivots to keep Hit safe and allow him to do what he does best when the time is right. His Special and Ultimate Move can legitimately kill even the tankiest Zenkais in a single blow if the stars align for him.

Why this Tier?

• He’s continuing the trend of insane EX rarity units alongside EX Gokua BLU, with an exceptional well-rounded toolkit and Uniques that target the most popular tags in the game.
• He needs just a little bit of team help, but will likely see a rise very soon once he gets it.

Discussion

Rival Universe already had a stud Blue unit in Toppo so he’s more of a lateral move here at worst, and Universe Survival Saga needs a few more colors to complete their color wheel. Once that happens, Jiren will likely see S Tier unless the theme of releases inexplicably shies away from the current theme of Universe Survival Saga/Rival Universe.

Why this Tier?

• Despite his role being primarily Defense, he can output a surprising amount of Damage at times. His Cover Change can be hard to play against and can turn the tide of a Match quickly.
• He has some very slight team problems at lower stars.

Discussion

At ~3 stars, SSJ4 Gogeta’s team problems stem from SP SSJ3 Goku GRN being the primary Saiyan Green unit, and SP Super #17 GRN with his behemoth Zenkai stats/stalling capabilities being able to perform better at 7 (and potentially higher) stars in most instances. While SP SSJ3 Goku GRN still keeps the advantage over him when SSJ4 Gogeta is 6 stars, he closes the gap significantly with Super #17 as the main GT and Fusion Warrior green.

In general, SP SSJ4 Gogeta GRN is an excellent all-around unit that controls the combat loop very effectively, but simply needs a few limit breaks to really shine.

Why this Tier?

• His Extra Move provides sub-count reduction, and his double card draw speed can accelerate Rising Rush quickly.
• His stats are quite low and he requires many limit breaks.

Discussion

Despite these issues, he's arguably the best blue on GT. Son Family has better options in the Blue slot, but he does have some small incentive due to the sub-count reduction which pairs nicely with SP SSJ Youth Gohan PUR and his Revive mechanic.

Why this Tier?

• She has a deceptively powerful Extra Move and a good Damage output.
• She's very fragile and has team issues.

Discussion

It's pretty surprising that Kale and Caulifla buff the Saiyan Tag, but sadly SP Vegeta YEL is way too vital to this Team due to his support capabilities. Alternatively, Zenkai Android #18 is flat out better on Girls as well. She does fit on Rival Universe which is still a solid team, although isn’t the most common. Despite the fact that they aren’t too common, it still justifies her spot in high Tier 1 as a situational and matchup dependant unit, but a very good one at that.

Why this Tier?

• SP Goku Black GRN can transform into Super Saiyan Rose, amplifying his Damage and bolstering his stats altogether, making him very hard to deal with on both sides of the field.
• It's hard to convey how good this unit is, really. He's held up phenomenally well in a game littered with oppressive Zenkais.

Discussion

A lot of his toolkit revolves around his “The Pain Etched in Me” Unique Ability, which restores 10 Ki and gives him 10% damage inflicted when he draws a card. His Extra Move might not seem like much at face value due to it simply “destroying cards and redrawing them”, but due to the aforementioned Unique Ability, it’s currently one of the more effective Extra Moves in the game.

True to the nature of most Transforming units, his base stats are also incredible. This paired with his amazing Unique Abilities makes SP Goku Black GRN a mainstay on Future and a consistent core unit. He's naturally a very hard hitter, but has tons of survivability in his toolkit as well.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an excellent Ranged damage dealer.
• We still value 6 star Kid Buu on the core.

Discussion

Kamicolo is a pretty scary Damage dealer with color disadvantage nullification on his Main Ability, but ultimately was not needed on Regen. He has an argument over Kid Buu at certain star levels and possibly certain Teams due to his color-null and anti-Android/Future capabilities, but in most instances, Kid Buu will be superior.

Why this Tier?

• She has a lot of long combo potential, especially with her Main Ability, but she can struggle with Ki and lack of card draw speed at times.
• She has a lot of competition on her Tags.

Discussion:

SP Android #21 BLU and SP Toppo BLU do give her a run for her money as the primary blue on her Tags, but an argument could be made in both instances. 

While #21 has the superior stats and support, SP Android #18 BLU can be used if a superior damage output is preferred. For Universe Survival Saga, #18 has phenomenal synergy with SP Android #17 YEL, and also buffs the Tag unlike Toppo. It could be argued that SP Bergamo RED can take care of the Tank duties in place of Toppo as well if #18 is used on the core.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai Boost buffs SP SSGSS Gogeta YEL, who might be preferable at this point due to the Cover nullification he provides.
• He’s an extremely hard hitting Melee Fighter but serves as a defensive pivot as well.

SP SSG Vegeta YEL on release always had a decent toolkit, his real big problem was his very low base stats. His Zenkai boost rectifies that and then some, giving him access to some pulverizing Strike Attack and some nice base Health and Defenses, allowing him to come in as a very reliable Defensive pivot.

He works marvelously with SP Vados GRN due to her healing, seeing as Vegeta works best when he pops into the battlefield with a higher Health ratio than his opponent.

Why this Tier?

• Both Regeneration and Androids were in dire need of a Blue
• She’s an absolutely ridiculous Support that remains relevant at any point of the Match, even after her death

Discussion

#21’s great support was to be expected after her Zenkai boost, but she does a great job stalling for her teammates now due to her increased card draw speed. When killed, she provides a Team-wide heal and increases her Teams Dragon Ball count by 2. 

Paired with someone like SP Demon King Piccolo YEL, their combined Dragon Ball manipulation can be completely game-changing. On Androids, she makes the infamous SP Android #18 YEL that much better, and gives her someone that can alleviate her weakness to Blue units. SP Perfect Cell RED appreciates the Special Move cost reduction and Damage increase as well.
 

Why this Tier?

• He’s a pretty good damage dealer that punishes the opponent for just about everything.
• He’s a bit too fragile, and while he pairs nicely with SP SSJ Bardock BLU, there are better choices for Bardock.

Discussion

Broly is a quintessential feast or famine type of Fighter. He either goes down quickly or is able to catch teams in his tandem of forcing switches both with color advantage and his Ultimate Move. However, Broly is the type of fighter that urgently needs limit breaks. At around 3 stars, he's pretty unimpressive.

Why this Tier?

• He has an excellent Damage output through his natural Damage inflicted and non-stop Debuffs.
• He can only reach his maximum potential in a very specific team.

Discussion

He definitely works well on general Saiyan teams but ultimately would like a Namek Saga team, but that is currently a work in progress. As of now, he’s a situational but very good damage dealer with some potential to move up if his team actually gets some more releases.

Why this Tier?

• He's likely going to be good, but needs to be given time for the playerbase to properly Z Power him.
• He's situational and Saiyan Saga needs a bit more help.

Discussion

Saiyan Saga reinforcements are on the way, and after they have a complete color wheel there will be a better indication of how good Yajirobe is. Still, however, he will always be a bit situational and matchup dependent.

Why this Tier?

• His base form is beyond fragile, so while he’s good Rising Rush bait, he’s a bit underwhelming until that point.
• His transformation after reviving makes him incredibly powerful, and the recent battle changes have made him insufferable to play against due to his sub count reduction/revive mechanic.

Discussion

In the average game, Cell might not seem too effective as the average player might not use him optimally, getting him killed way too early. With the right team around him and a player skilled enough to control the combat loop, his presence alone can be very oppressive.

In base form, he can’t take a hit, but offensively he’s actually pretty serviceable. After transforming, he outputs ridiculous damage. He slots into Regeneration, Future and Android as their primary red.

Why this Tier?

• He has a pretty strong Special Move.
• He’s on some of the best Teams in the game.

Discussion

Trunks isn’t exactly mind blowing, but he’s a solid 1% unit. Sagas and Hybrid Saiyans have a lot of competition for the top Green spot, but Trunks has an argument for it and has an incredible Z-Ability to boot. He goes a long way in enabling SP SSJ Youth Gohan PUR which is ultimately what’s important.

Why this Tier?

• His Zenkai boost made him incredibly durable with a coveted Team-wide heal for Hybrids.
• He relies on being paired with a Trunks unit which can hinder him at times.

Discussion

Extreme or not, EX Future Gohan GRN is an exceptional fighter despite the Zenkai being a bit unexpected. He adds an element to Hybrid Saiyan that was crucially needed, and does a phenomenal job at protecting the infamous SP SSJ2 Gohan RED

Why this Tier?

• He was part of one of the better Teams in the game, but was replaced by SP SSB Vegito BLU
    
• He still has excellent base stats after Transforming, with an emphasis on a very powerful Special Move.
    

Discussion:

SP Gogeta BLU still has good stats after Transforming into a Super Saiyan, which kept him viable despite his age. Even now he’s still fine to use, but only if the Player does not own SP SSB Vegito BLU. He’s simply a secondary choice now.

Why this Tier?

• He’s ridiculously tanky at 14 stars.
• He’s also hard to play against due to his anti-Rising Rush mechanic

Discussion

Roberry is a very good Tank, but that’s honestly all about he does. He can sponge up damage, has endurance, and provides a team heal, but is woeful offensively and his Team isn’t the greatest. He’s still a very solid unit, especially considering he was free.

Why this Tier?

• His toolkit does an excellent job of targeting enemy units on substitution via Extreme Bleed and an AoE Special.
• Most of his potential teams have a more synergistic or flat-out superior Purple, but at 6 stars he works well on the strike variation of Powerful Opponent alongside SP Corrupted Zamasu RED.

Discussion:

Rose is not as bad as advertised at times, just not what most were expecting. SP Corrupted Zamasu RED and him form a devastating feast-or-famine Powerful Opponent team and also pair nicely together on Future, breathing new life into the once disappointing LF Rose.

Why this Tier?

• At Zenkai 7, he operates similar to SP SSJ Bardock BLU
   
• The tandem of Powerful Opponent/Frieza Force units are starting to get some more attention
