Tier Z
The absolute best Fighters in the game. These Fighters have a team or multiple Teams built around them, and have full Team support which allows them to accentuate how powerful their toolkits are. They also own an Ability that exerts control over core game systems and forces Enemy Teams to play around a single Fighter.
Stats
Why this Tier?
- He does basically everything.
- No, seriously, he does everything barring Support and Endurance.
Discussion:
Every now and again, Dragon Ball Legends releases a revolutionary Fighter, and SP SSB Vegito BLU is just that. He can sustain himself, he can output freakish amounts of Damage, and he’s also surrounded by the best Fighters in the game just to illuminate just how good he is. Future and Godki feel like the Fusion Warrior Team of last year on steroids, thanks to him and others.

Why this Tier?
- Despite the grinding required to unlock him, he’s technically free to play and can be limit broken to 14 stars, with Zenkai 7.
- He does some of the highest Damage in the game and has Support built into his toolkit as well
Discussion
The Tier List will assume SP Kid Goku YEL is Zenkai 7 because unlike other Fighters that have received Zenkai Boosts, he’s free to play. As more and more people unlock his full potential, it will quickly become apparent how good he is.

Stats
Why this Tier?
- He has a phenomenal toolkit which synergizes extremely well in this hyper-Offensive Meta.
- He’s a bit fragile, but due to his incredible death Buffs, even that flaw is not too detrimental.
Discussion:
He and SP Fusion Zamasu PUR are basically 1A and 1B on Future, which ultimately depends on how fast the Meta is. Alternatively, SP SSGSS Vegeta (Future) PUR and SP Fusion Zamasu PUR work as starters on other top tier teams, like Vegeta Family and God Ki respectively.
SP SSGSS Vegeta (Future) PUR starts off the game with huge damage potential for the first 50 timer counts, but that meshes together very well with his permanent death Buffs. He also has some Support qualities in his toolkit that function similarly to SP SSGSS Vegeta GRN.

Stats
Why this Tier?
- He’s a hellacious Ranged Fighter but also has many Defensive aspects in his toolkit.
- He’s the primary Purple Fighter on both God Ki and Future.
Discussion
The longer the Match goes, the stronger SP Merged Zamasu PUR becomes, but only a mere 15 timer counts need to pass for his most coveted Buff: 40% Damage inflicted which cannot be canceled. He pairs nicely with SP SSB Vegito BLU as he protects him from Green Fighters, and both Fighters have a form of Cover to act as a reliable Defensive pivot.

Stats
Why this Tier?
- He’s an excellent all-around Fighter and leader for the God Ki and Vegeta Family Teams. He shines Offensively with ferocious Combo potential and can defend himself as well.
- His Main Ability is a borderline guaranteed kill, or at the very least keeps momentum going for his Team. He also reduces his card costs with every Strike or Blast Arts used.
Discussion:
God Ki and Future just needed to stop being neglected for SP SSB Vegeta GRN to shine once more, and with the releases of SP SSB Vegito BLU, SP Fusion Zamasu PUR, and SP SSJ Rag Trunks YEL, he will do just that. He's especially nice vs SP SSB Vegito BLU due to the extra Damage he does to God Ki.

Tier S
Not too drastically different from the Fighters in Z Tier, these Fighters have a few minuscule flaws that don’t let them take over the game consistently, or lack proper Tag Support which in turn compromises how well they perform, but are still on the cusp of Z Tier.
Stats
Why this Tier?
- He’s a great Defense Fighter that gets more Damage inflicted Buffs the more he or his Teammates are hit.
- It’s not necessarily his primary job on the Team, but he can struggle to do Damage until he’s ramped up.
Discussion
Luckily for him, despite what Damage problems he might run into, he still draws an Ultimate Move that does a ton of Damage, and slots into arguably the best Team in the game currently in Future. He also has a nice additional Damage Buff against any God Ki as well as Regeneration characters, both of which are going to be quite common in the Meta

-
He’s arguably the best Legends Road Fighter ever, relative to his release, and just got a huge Zenkai 7 boost.
-
He has excellent synergy with multiple top tier Teams.
Discussion:
SP Teen Trunks BLU is very well rounded. While he's still primarily a Melee Fighter, his Blast Damage can reach very high levels as well. He's also durable, has some Support in his toolkit and is a last-man standing unit. His synergy with the Future and Vegeta Family Tags is also top notch, and his Zenkai gives Legends Road one more step towards viability.

Stats
Why this Tier?
- He’s reached the Super Saiyan God form -- a Transformation which never expires -- and is excellent all around.
- He might have a hard time finding his way into the core in some of the more premier matches, as the God Ki core was already sensational.
Discussion
Shallot not being in Z Tier is not a slight to him as a Fighter whatsoever, after all he’s still at the top of S which is almost the same numerical placement. All that changes here is the letter grade. This is simply symbolic towards Z Tier being much more exclusive now. If Shallot was to find his way into Z Tier, it would be hard to justify not moving up the eerily similar SP Vegito YEL along with him. This in turn essentially ends the exclusivity of the current Z Tier.
While Shallot is still exceptional, he’s not SP SSGSS Vegito BLU. He doesn’t have the absurd all-around toolkit and Endurance of SP Youth Goku YEL. He doesn’t have the freakish Damage output or Strike Cover of SP Fusion Zamasu PUR. He also doesn’t have the Team options of SP SSGSS Vegeta GRN, or his ability to trap and destroy SP SSGSS Vegito BLU. Him being a Light Type is also a blessing as well as a curse. Sometimes a color advantage can be a crucial trait, despite the color disadvantage it comes with.

Stats
Why this Tier?
- He has excellent base stats after Transforming, and is well-rounded Offensively
- His Main Ability after Transforming is absolutely devastating to any non-Red Fighter.
Discussion:
His “This is Super Vegito!!” Main Ability draws him an enhanced Special Arts Card after he’s used a few cards (which is ideally when it should be activated), which is something that must be played around. This sequence is eerily similar to the one-shot potential SP SSJ Youth Gohan YEL has.

Why this Tier?
- She has maybe the best Damage and longest, most effective Combo potential in the game.
- She’s excessively fragile, to the point where she takes punishment just as much as she gives it.
Discussion
SP SSJ2 Kefla GRN’s addition to Fusion Warrior and Female Warriors skyrockets their Offensive firepower. Unfortunately even with her Damage reduction Unique Ability, she is a liability Defensively. Her constantly being at risk of getting killed in just one or two Combos hurts her viability and keeps her out of Z.

Why this Tier?
- Despite being a one-dimensional Red in a SP SSGSS Vegito BLU Meta, he’s quite sensational.
- He’s a pulverizing striker with some survivability, as well as one of the better Extra Moves in the game.
Discussion
He does a great job replicating Goku from the anime after the revelations he received from Zamasu. His Main Ability puts debilitating Debuffs on the other team, and draws him his patented Extra Move which increases his card draw speed permanently, increases the Damage of his next Strike or Special Move, increases his Ki by 50 and changes all of his pesky Blast Arts cards to Strike Arts cards.

Stats
Why this Tier?
- He’s hard to pull, but superior to SP SSJ Gotenks RED on the core.
- He has excellent Support, Defensive, and Offensive capabilities.
Discussion
He’s basically like EX Whis RED of last year in terms of effectiveness. He gives Fusion Warriors a 10% Damage inflicted Buff (up to 30%) and restores Ki by 20 when switched to standby. He reduces Damage by 70% the first time he’s attacked, which can be deceptively effective if he’s kept on the sideline until the enemy uses a Rising Rush or Ultimate Move. His Extra Move also restores Vanish Gauge by 100% the first time it’s used.
He’s so well-rounded that he would likely slide into a firm S-Tier spot among Sparkings.

It’s hard to point out a huge flaw he has. His Extra Move isn’t oppressive, but that’s not necessarily a flaw either.
Discussion:
SP SSJ4 Goku PUR popping onto the battlefield means trouble for anyone who stands in his way. With massive Damage inflicted, Ki Restore on entry, Damage reduction, an Ultimate Move, and a Special Move that traps his opponent, he does it all and has a ton of sustain to stay in the fight.

Why this Tier?
- Movies finally got a new Green, but he’ll see a lot more play on Saiyan/all Goku based Teams.
- His Special Move is absolutely devastating, and he pairs phenomenally with Zenkai 7 SP Kid Goku YEL
Discussion
His Damage output can actually be a little inconsistent at times, but he’s supplemented very well by his team. His Main Ability provides an extremely dangerous situation if he gains priority, as it increases his Arts Card Draw speed by 2 levels and draws him his brutal Special Move. As an added bonus, he adds a Strike Card to the deck that heals 5% on hit.

-
Whether he’s entering the battlefield, drawing Cards, or on the receiving end of a Combo, he has a seemingly endless amount of Damage inflicted Buffs.
-
His Main Ability restores his own Health by a massive 30%, gives him 50 Ki instantly, increases his Damage inflicted and draws an Ultimate Arts Card. His Ultimate Move itself does massive Damage on top of it all.
Discussion
SP SSB Vegito BLU’s addition to the game continues to help the Fusion Warrior Tag grow, and SP Super Vegito PUR benefits tremendously. His Z-Ability is crucial for the Tag, and his Unique Abilities continue to keep him consistently strong. However, he does not have the same effectiveness as the current Z-Tier Fighters, and if SP SSB Vegito BLU can’t catapult him into Z, his days there are certainly finished. Not that there’s any shame with being a solid S Tier Fighter.

Tier 1
Fighters that make up for their minuscule or moderately noticeable flaws by being good choices in solid Teams, they still have very strong above average toolkits but are not extremely over the top powerful. More or less, these units are pretty consistent core units on the top PVP teams. If a team is neglected for too long and is not nearly as Meta-relevant, however, "starter" units can still drop to Tier 2.
Stats
Why this Tier:
- He has quite similar aspects to someone like SP SSJ2 Kefla GRN, although he’s Blast oriented.
- He’s pretty one dimensional Offensively, and his Team could use some better Z-Ability synergy.
Discussion:
SP Super Saiyan Goku (RoC) GRN gives him a ton of competition, but he still has a home on GT and the Saiyan based team that likes to use the Blast-based Shallot.

Discussion
With her great Strike Damage, wealth of Tags, excellent synergy with these Tags, excellent base stats, and Extra Move which heals her and permanently stacks Damage inflicted Buffs, she was among the best in the game on release. While she’s still good, Regeneration is going to be taking a bit of a backseat to Teams like Future and God Ki.

SP Omega Shenron RED is definitely someone that has to be played around and has some serious game-changing potential. That being said, he must be kept far, far away from SP SSB Vegito BLU as he not only owns a color advantage over him but an additional Damage Buff against Fusion Warriors

He’s good, but not overly great. He’s extremely durable, but his Damage is still excessively low even for a Zenkai 7 unit, and he’s always at the mercy of SP SSGSS Vegito BLU Extra Move’ing his Cover away and pulverizing him.

He excels at many aspects of combat and joins a great Team in Regeneration

Discussion
His only real flaw at the moment is the fact that he’s very Ranged focus whereas a lot of Regeneration Fighters prefer Strike Attack, but he still does everything else. From Defense, Offense, Utility to Support, he solidifies himself as the main Regeneration Yellow for quite a while.

Why this Tier?
- He wasn’t even bad before, but recently received a Zenkai Awakening making him feel like he’s back in his prime, and then some.
- He’s still a bit fragile at Z1, but his monstrous Damage potential possessed by him and his team, as well as quite a few Defensive pivots on Lineage of Evil makes up for it.
Discussion:
SP FF Cooler BLU is back and better than ever. His Cold Hearted Family Unique Ability enables his Team to do arguably the most collective Damage a Team can possibly do in the game, and he himself hits like a truck. His Zenkai 1 Awakening also gives Ki on switch out and makes his Extra Move a permanent stacking Strike Attack Buff.
His fragility is a bit of an issue, but his Team has so many Defensive pivots now that it’s very easy to shield him from any punishment. Lineage of Evil Defensive pivots also tend to have huge Offensive firepower potential.

He’s very Blast-focused, which works against what almost every Movies unit would like to prioritize. Luckily his buffs don’t discriminate and are based on damage in general, so it’s not too detrimental. However, Movies still needs a lot of help to be up to par with some of the better teams in the game, and a Powerful Opponent team has not materialized yet.
His banner SP Super Saiyan Goku (RoC) GRN has options outside of Movies, which is why they are currently a Tier apart.

His recent Zenkai Awakening makes him as durable as ever, and makes Regeneration back into the Team that wins PVP Matches via long, drawn out attrition. If Zenkai 1 has not been achieved, he's still an excellent bench.

- He’s an absolute behemoth Defensively, and since he takes so much effort to take down, he gets a lot of usage out of his Unique Ability which increases both his and his allies Damage inflicted when he takes Damage.

SP FF Cooler BLU’s Zenkai 1 Awakening is one of the best things that could’ve happened for SP Cooler PUR. He’s still just as much of a brick wall Defensively as before, but now his early Damage problems are alleviated once again. Alternatively, he draws Extra Moves for SP FF Cooler BLU, who’s Extra Move is now a permanent Damage stacking Buff.
SP Cooler PUR is still everything Lineage of Evil could want. Defense, Support, and now even more Damage thrown in makes him very hard to take out.

However, the best theoretical Team is always taken into account for the Tier List, and while he might be hard to get, EX Gogeta RED is superior to him on the core.

Alternatively, Frieza Force got an amazing addition with SP Broly: Cheelai BLU, and SP FP FF Frieza YEL is essential for that Team as their primary brick-wall of a Tank. With him as a safe Defensive pivot, it enables SP Broly: Cheelai BLU to switch in and stack their Unique Ability, which gives Damage inflicted the more they are swapped in and out.
SP FF Frieza RED, SP Golden Frieza GRN, SP Goku Ginyu RED, and SP 1F Frieza PUR are all solid Fighters that Buff the Tag as well.
Why this Tier?
-
He’s incredibly hard to take down as his Cover reduces Damage taken by 50% and. reduces Enemy Ki by 35%.
-
His Special Move spam enables him to do a ton of Damage despite his low base Attack stats.

He has an excellent Melee-focused toolkit along with a Special Move that restores his Health every time it lands.

Vegeta Family much prefers SP Youth Trunks BLU, but Movies just added SP Super Saiyan Goku (RoC) GRN and SP Turles YEL which helps his viability.
Discussion
He found a somewhat unconventional home in Sagas in his prime, but Sagas fell off and had no releases for quite a while. The aforementioned releases definitely go a long way in helping revive Movies, but they still need a bit more. SP Broly: Cheelai BLU also has a lot of appeal as the primary blue on the team over him, seeing as they actually buff the Tag. They are very susceptible to buff wiping abilities however, so maybe SP Vegeta BLU could be preferable.

Alternatively, SP Cooler PUR draws SP FF Cooler BLU some extra Moves, which give him a permanent stacking Buff at Zenkai 1.
The release of SP Broly: Cheelai BLU gives him a bit of an unconventional pairing, but they do both Buff the Frieza Force Tag and are both highly effective, powerful Fighters with some synergy between them. What he lacks in Damage can be made up for by SP Broly: Cheelai BLU, who has amazing Damage potential. Other solid Frieza Force Fighters include: SP FF Frieza RED, SP Golden Frieza GRN, SP Goku Ginyu RED, and SP FP FF Frieza YEL

While he’s ever so slightly fallen off a bit due to the naturally occurring power creep, he’s still a good Offensive fighter and his Team-wide Debuff is crucial. Both of the Tags he buffs - God Ki and Future -- got some monstrous additions with SP SSB Vegito BLU, SP Fusion Zamasu PUR, and SP SSJ Rage Trunks YEL.
The aforementioned SP SSGSS Vegito BLU is the reason why he has such a hard time finding his way onto the core at times, however. He can alleviate SP SSGSS Vegito BLU's Damage output a bit with his Main Ability that nullifies color disadvantage, but he still finds himself in serious trouble if he loses priority. His Debuff also does not affect SP SSGSS Vegito BLU, who the Meta is currently built around. Tier 1 is nothing to be ashamed about as he's still a viable core Fighter, but he's not consistently good enough to stay at S Tier.

His “You let your guard down” Unique Ability is what makes this Fighter outrageously good. If switched out enough, he provides his Teammates and himself a permanent 40% Damage Buff which cannot be cancelled. His “Resolute Fighting Spirit” gives him plenty of Damage Uniques for himself to ensure he’s not simply a pure Support.

SP Perfect Cell YEL has lasted for what has seemed like forever. He’s still a great Melee Fighter with some good utility, but Regeneration has taken a step back. He was also consistently threatened for the main Yellow core spot by SP Piccolo YEL, which hurts his placement even more.

Why this Tier?
- His “Seems I Got Even Stronger” Unique Ability gives him permanent Buffs when he enters the battlefield or when the Enemy switches out.
- He Draws an Extra Arts Card when his attacks are evaded with Vanishing Step, which has a bit of a clunkiness aspect to it.
Discussion:
Akin to the anime, SP UGA Super Buu GRN has a bit of a chaotic toolkit but the payoff can be tremendous. At full stacks, he’s an Offensive force with a great means to defend himself with his Extra Move Barrier.
Regeneration always seems to take a seat behind another Team every Anniversary, and it just happened to poor SP UGA Super Buu GRN again. Future and God Ki are simply better options to use at this point, and SP Good Buu GRN was always the preferable Green for Regeneration anyway.

Everyone expected SP SSB Goku BLU to move up accordingly when God Ki got some more support, but he was even better than advertised. Unfortunately, he should be used only if the Player is missing SP SSB Vegito BLU. He’s secondary on God Ki now.

His Ultimate Move paralyzes every single person on the Enemy Team, which is one of the most powerful effects currently in the game. His Extra Move and Cover can also Absorb Ki Blasts, Tap Blasts, and Ranged Special Moves.

- He does, however, fill the Red void for Sagas Warriors, making the Team more flexible altogether.
Discussion:
SP Hero Tapion RED offers a similar switch Support like other members of Sagas Warriors, and his Crisis Ability can be the difference in the final moments. SP Hero Tapion RED's flaw is he is flanked by stellar Teammate options, namely SP Super Saiyan Youth Gohan YEL, SP Full Power Boujack PUR, and SP Vegeta BLU, which is a hard trio to break up.

Akin to the anime, Captain Ginyu wasn’t used to Goku's body, and this is reflected in Dragon Ball Legends as he continually Debuffs himself the longer he stays on the battlefield.

SP Hit YEL might be popular, but the fact remains that his Team options and his base stats are incredibly bare. There’s absolutely zero incentive to run Yellow Color Counter Teams with him since not a single Team in the game relies on a Purple anymore.

SP Vegeta GRN has an interesting Melee kit which includes two held Strike Arts Cards, a powerful base stat, one of the best Main Abilities in the game, a devastating Extra Move, a bonus to Strike for using his Special Move, and Unique Abilities that when activated can help him rain down devastation.
However, an influx of powerful Purple Fighters - all of which can negative Revive - has caused his stock to plummet.

He has some pretty potent Damage Buffs, but those aren’t helping much in the face of power creep anymore.

He’s still rocking some of the highest HP in the game, but he doesn’t do much of anything at this point. Saiyans have much more potent bench buffs, so he’s not recommended there anymore either.

The releases of SP SSJ2 Youth Gohan RED and SP Perfect Cell YEL made her viability skyrocket at the time since she did well against SP SSJ2 Youth Gohan RED with her Anti-Hybrid Saiyan Ability and Synergizes very well with SP Perfect Cell YEL, but is now too old.

The release of SP Android #13 BLU and existence of SP Ribrianne BLU has sealed her fate and makes her hard to justify on any core. Her Z-Ability ties her to Blue Color Counter Teams which are simply not optimal, so she’s not even a good bench anymore either.

He has an excellent Z-Ability that Buffs Strike and Blast Attack at all star levels.
Discussion:
SP SSJ3 Goku RED’s toolkit is like the worst combination of SP SSJ3 Goku PUR and SP SSJ Goku YEL. He’s a glass cannon with some fairly powerful Damage Buffs, but his Ki Recovery Speed is terrible for a Ranged Fighter. Even though it’s increased by 30% for the first 45 timer counts, once that wears off his Ki Recovery Speed is halved for 15 timer counts. This makes him nearly unusable when there are so many better Red Saiyan options out there.
