SP Tier List

Why this Tier?

• Her stats are among some of the best in the game after she Transforms

• She has many viable Tags and her Offense is similar to a prime SP SSB Vegeta PUR, but better

Discussion

With her oppressive 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 claims the throne as the best Fighter in the game and won’t be leaving Z-Tier anytime soon.

Why this Tier?

• He’s probably the best Fighter in the game when transformed, but has to wait either 50 timer counts or for an ally to die.

• True to his character, he’s an incredible last man standing Fighter.

Discussion

SP Bardock RED takes a short while -- or a dead ally -- to get going, but once he does, not many can afford to stand in his way. Through high base stats, high Damage uniques, ability to nullify color disadvantage and also restore his Vanish Gauge 100%, he has the capability of ripping through anyone if the stars align for him while also being very hard to catch.

Why this Tier?

• He has monstrous Damage, Combo, and Defensive potential.

• It’s hard to point out a single flaw he has. His Extra Move isn’t oppressive, but that’s not necessarily a flaw either. He and his Teams are simply among the very best.

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 genuinely does not have any flaws at the present moment.

Why this Tier?

• He’s extremely durable, has one of the best Extra Moves in the game, locks the Enemy in with his first Main Ability, and draws a Special Move Arts Card with enough Ki to use it from his second Main Ability.
   

• He has many Team options when limit broken to 5 stars.
   

Discussion

SP SSJ Gohan Youth YEL is a phenomenal Fighter, and his Team continues to get better too. He synergizes excellently with either SP Boujack PUR or SP Cooler PUR.

Alternatively, SP SSJ Gohan Youth YEL himself is more or less a necessity to take out other SP Boujack PUR’s, SP Cooler PUR’s, and the new  SP Android #21 PUR. His Main Ability lock along with his second Main Ability has the potential to take out some Fighters in a single Combo if the stars align correctly for him.

Why this Tier?

• He excels at many aspects of combat and joins the best Team in the game in Regeneration.

• He brings his iconic Special Beam Cannon which can also have it’s Damaged boosted via his Extra Move, and can constitute as a Legendary Finish

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?

• His Support qualities are remarkable, most notably giving a Team-wide Heal of 10% every time he’s switched out.
   

• His Damage is a little bit on the lower side, but luckily his durability and Support make up for it.
   

Discussion:

Even with his somewhat situational Damage output, his Regeneration Team got a monstrous boost in viability with the addition of SP Android #21 PUR. These two are both way too effective to not share a spot in Z Tier.

Why this Tier?

• At Zenkai Level 1, he Heals for a tremendous amount from his Main Ability and Soft Body Unique Ability.

• He alongside someone like SP Super Baby 2 BLU make Regeneration a slog to fight against.

Discussion

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.

Why this Tier?

• He’s meant to be an Offensive Fighter but seems to be Offense, Defense, and Support all wrapped in one.

• His Cover is one of the more powerful effects in the game as it negates any Arts including Ultimate Moves, and has no substitution penalty

Discussion

SP Boujack PUR does everything. His Damage output and high and very consistent, his Cover provides his Team with a way to protect themselves, and he gives allied Sagas From the Movies Fighters a 25% Damage inflicted Buff when switched. He also takes 20% reduced Damage from Super Saiyans.

His Cover does come with a drawback as his Teammate being switched out will take 15% of their Health as Damage, but this Cover is so effective and he himself is so well rounded that it more than makes up for it.

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:

Don’t fret, SP SSB Vegeta GRN still has a lot of potential to move back up into Z-Tier, but God Ki is simply not great in this Meta, and he especially has a hard time with the multitude of hyper-Offensive Purples running around. The focus seems to be focused entirely on Regeneration and Saiyan Teams for the time being

Why this Tier?

• 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 Vegito YEL’s release does justify him moving back up to Z Tier for now, but he’s still on the bubble. He’s placed lower than SP Vegito YEL simply due to the fact that he’s much more matchup dependent than SP Vegito YEL. There’s almost no incentive to use SP Super Vegito PUR vs Sagas From The Movies and opposing Fusion Warrior mirror matchups, but he’s still good against Regeneration.

His Main Ability wiping Buffs has some added incentive now after how some recent releases are reliant on them.

Why this Tier?

• Saiyans get a much-needed Support Fighter with his addition, most notably a potentially permanent 40% Damage inflicted for him and his allies if he’s switched out a few times.

• While he doesn’t have Damage reduction in his toolkit, he does have many ways to sustain himself via Healing.

Discussion

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.

Why this Tier?

• His iconic Special Move - Angry Kamehameha - can legitimately kill some Fighters in one hit if he’s managed to stack some Buffs.

• He Buffs the Super Saiyan Tag at 3 stars, making him extremely powerful in Son Family Teams.

Discussion:

SP Angry Goku BLU is still a phenomenal Fighter, but ultimately the Saiyan Team synergizes much more with the Support-focused SP Saiyan Saga Goku BLU. These two are still relatively on par with each other, so they can share a spot in the S Tier together, but SP Angry Goku BLU simply doesn’t have the effectiveness he once had compared to new SP Fighters.

Why this Tier?

• He’s one of the better Offensive Ranged Fighters this game will ever see relative to their release. His Blast Attack Buffs are outstanding and he comes with an innate increased Card Draw speed that cannot be canceled.

• He’s a little bit more fragile than his counterpart SP SSJ4 Goku PUR, but his Offensive firepower still justifies him being one of the better Fighters in the game.

Discussion:

SP SSJ4 Vegeta RED is an unforgiving Ranged Fighter that will annihilate anyone when he pops into the battlefield, and also punishes switching by doing 30% more Damage on the next Attack if that happens. He’s even got a hint of Support in him via his Main Ability. He’s noticeably fragile however, and needs to be sheltered a bit.

Why this Tier?

• His Super Saiyan 3 Transformation has finally made him exceptional in PVP

• His Transformation lasts for 45 timer counts which is plenty of time, but he’s very mediocre when it runs out.

Discussion:

Shallot is a Melee powerhouse when transformed, and comes along with Cover to give his Team some Defensive viability as well. His Transforming stats are among some of the best of any Fighter in the game, so he’s very versatile. His Z-Ability is also crucial.

Why this Tier?

• 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.

• He’s everything Lineage of Evil needed. A Purple that is exceptional late-game will keep them relevant for quite a while.

Discussion

SP Cooler PUR is continuing the trend of powerful UST Fighters, bringing Lineage of Evil a Tank, last-man standing Fighter and someone with Supportative qualities all in one.

Why this Tier?

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

• He’s found a nice home and excellent synergy in the Sagas from The Movies Team that usually includes SP Boujack PUR and SP SSJ Youth Gohan YEL.
   

Discussion

He’s found a somewhat unconventional home in Sagas. It’s a shame he doesn’t Buff the Tag, seeing as the Vegeta Family Tag he Buffs isn't nearly as effective. They are improving, but still need work.

The release of SP Broly: Cheelai BLU is not good news for him, as he gives him some very stiff competition for the primary Blue spot, but he’s still justifiable as the starter on one of the best Teams in the game.

Why this Tier?

• Her Support works with 4 Tags: Regeneration, Android, Female Warrior, and Transforming Warrior. These can also stack depending on the Fighter’s shared Tags.
   

• Her Damage is a bit on the lower side until her Debuffs can stack up, but the rest of her toolkit is phenomenal.
   

Discussion:

For a free Fighter, she’s sensational. She has excellent synergy with SP Android #21 PUR, as well as many other popular Fighters. Even for a Support, her Damage is quite noticeable.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an excellent Support with a high-Damage dealing Ultimate Move.
• He really should’ve been a different color for Lineage of Evil’s sake, but he’s still a worthwhile addition.

Discussion:

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

He’s also still a great choice for Lineage of Evil as well, but SP Coora PUR is just as good of a Purple for that Tag.

Why this Tier?

• At Zenaki Level 1, he finally gets access to a Damage inflicted Buff.

• His Extra Move clears Buffs 3 times.

• His Main Ability provides an excellent combination of effects that can potentially turn a game around.

Discussion

On top of his aesthetically pleasing Legendary Finish, SP GoD Beerus GRN at Zenkai Level 1 rectifies a lot of the problems he had previously and joins one of the better Tags in the game. He works phenomenally well with EX Whis RED who is still one of the best EX Rarity Fighters in the game

Why this Tier?

• He destroys Sagas from the Movies Fighters, but his Damage output depends on how viable they are at the time.

• He’s also their best Red Fighter.

Discussion:

SP Super Janemba RED is an excellent counter-pick to one of the more popular Tags in the game, Sagas from the Movies, but also slots in as their best Red. He’s also an amazing Fighter in the Regeneration Tag, already dethroning SP Kid Buu RED.

Why this Tier?

• He slots into one of the better Teams in the game -- God Ki -- as their primary Purple

• He brings some nice durability to the Tag and one of the better Extra Moves in the game.

Discussion

SP SSG Goku PUR has a lot of niftiness in his toolkit. From utility, to support, to durability, to some scaling Damage, he’s a nice addition to an already powerful Tag.

Why this Tier?

• He reduces Damage received by a huge 35% for the first 45 timer counts and simultaneously gets progressively stronger Damage inflicted Buffs the longer the Match lasts.
  
   

• His Main Ability instantly restores Vanish Gauge and draws an Ultimate Arts Card, which hits like a truck.

Discussion:

Everyone expected SP SSB Goku BLU to move up accordingly when God Ki got some more support, but he’s even better than advertised. He nullifies SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED's Debuff, excels in every facet of PVP, and arguably has the best Team in the entire game now.

Why this Tier?

• His Debuff to the entire Enemy Team makes it extremely hard to deal with him and his Teammates.

• His Main Ability nullifies color disadvantage against Blues for 30 timer counts.

Discussion

SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED was arguably the biggest reason God Ki rose to prominence, as his Team-wide Debuff made him and his allies very hard to play against him. Since then, Tags other than God Ki are seeing more and more attention, and through power creep he’s not as effective as before.

SP Super Baby 2 BLU is especially a hard matchup for him as he’s not affected by the Debuff, owns a color advantage over him as well as an extra 40% Damage due to SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED being a Saiyan. He’s still an exceptional God Ki and Future Fighter, and will likely continue being the mainstay Red on those Teams.

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.

Discussion:

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 could have trouble finding a home, considering he has a lot of competition in the primary Green slot on his Teams, but is good enough to justify himself as a starter

• He’s an excellent Support Fighter, with some additional -- albeit situational -- tricks up his sleeve.

Discussion

He’s a solid Support Fighter that gives his Teammates Damage Inflicted and an instant 30 Ki when switched out. He does have some competition on his primary Teams with SP SSJ3 Goku GRN and SP Super #17 GRN however, and his situation is made even more difficult due to his inferior Z-Ability compared to these two.

Why this Tier?

• His “You look surprised…” Unique Ability provides him with a massive 45% Damage Inflicted Boost for 15 timer counts, while also sealing an Enemy Card slot when he enters the battlefield up to 3 times.

• His Ultimate Move Solar Kamehameha is a destructive attack and has a chance to inflict the dreaded faint.

Discussion:

SP Perfect Cell YEL is one of the main reasons the S Tier was introduced. While he doesn’t set the world on fire like he did on release, he still comes out of the gates quickly and can be a game-changer.

SP Super Baby 2 BLU has made Regeneration a lot better and synergizes extremely well with SP Perfect Cell YEL. He loves the Damage inflicted and Health Restoration Buff provided by SP Super Baby 2 BLU.

Why this Tier?

• He’s held back by a few minor things, but excels at most facets of combat.
   

• Androids had many releases in a row, stagnated for a while, but now got two exceptional releases with SP Android #21 PUR and SP Android #21 BLU
   

Discussion:

SP Fusion Android #13 RED was always a great Fighter, but his Team just simply started to fall behind. The release of the aforementioned Androids synergize very well with him and he’s the Team's primary Red Fighter. He’s arguably better now than he was before as well, considering SP Android #21 PUR is a Melee Fighter just like him, whereas before most of his Teammates were Ranged.

He has some added apeal due to his innate anti-Super Saiyan Damage inflicted Buff, seeing as that's almost all Fusion Warriors are made up of currently.

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.

The release of SP Buu: Kid RED  and especially SP Super Baby 2 BLU has made Regeneration a solid Team once again.

Why this Tier?

• He absolutely annihilates Goku variants, and enables his Teammates to destroy Saiyans with a nice switch-out Damage buff against Saiyans for them.

• This in turn does make him a bit situational, but he’s still an excellent primary Red for his Team

Discussion:

SP FP Frieza RED makes PVP matches against Saiyans significantly easier, and with a 50% Strike Buff on entry, can remain relevant even against non-Saiyan Teams. His Transformation does come with a timer, but 45 timer counts is decently long.

Why this Tier?

• For someone who was such a problem for SP Saiyan Saga Goku BLU and SP Piccolo YEL, they didn’t really do him justice.

• He’s still a solid Fighter for the first 60 timer counts, but falls off considerably and is very situational.

Discussion

His 60 timer count Damage Buffs and anti-Saiyan and anti-Regeneration Unique Abilities are solid and very relevant in the current Meta, but ultimately he’s still a bit too situational. He also faces tough competition within his Tag going up against SP SSJ3 Goku GRN and SP Baby Vegeta GRN, and the Saiyan Team currently prefers Strike Attack, not SP Raditz GRN’s Blast-focus.

Why this Tier?

• He receives a permanent 50% Damage inflicted Buff, as well as a huge 100% Boost to his Ki Recovery after a Rising Rush is used

• His Damage until that point is very low

Discussion

He’s a solid starter on GT. He provides them a Defensive pivot as well as a way to deal with troublesome Purple Fighters all over the meta, like SP Android #21 PUR

Why this Tier?

• His “That Which Surpasses the Legendary Super Saiyan “ Unique Ability makes him a force to be reckoned with every time he enters the battlefield.
  
   

• His Ultimate Move destroys all of his Cards upon activation but becomes a nuke based on the number of Cards destroyed.
   

Discussion:

With the resurgence of Regeneration, his Healing Reduction from his Main Ability along with the potential to absolutely annihilate SP UGA Super Buu GRN in one Combo increase his stock quite a bit.

Most importantly, God Ki skyrocketed in value after the release of  SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED and SP SSG Vegeta GRN, the latter of which he can trap and absolutely annihilate in just one Combo potentially.

Why this Tier?

• He’s part of one of the better Teams in the game, and partners nicely with SP Vegito YEL and  SP Super Vegito PUR
   
• He has excellent base stats after Transforming, with an emphasis on a very powerful Special Move.
   

Discussion:

SP Gogeta BLU still has some of the best stats in the game after Transforming into a Super Saiyan, which has kept him viable despite his age. SP Vegito YEL’s release also helped his primary Team a lot, so SP Gogeta BLU is a lot more useful now. SP Vegito YEL definitely appreciates the Special Move SP Gogeta BLU draws.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an excellent Ranged Fighter, although some of his best Teams don’t really prioritize Blast over Strike.

• His stats are actually a bit low for a newer Fighter.

Discussion:

SP Super Gogeta GRN starts off the Match with 50% Blast Damage inflicted, then gets some huge Buffs after 40 timer counts. Still, his stats are a bit on the lower side and he’s not overly impressive until 40 timer counts. He does however make an excellent last-man standing Fighter.

Why this Tier?

• He’s incredibly powerful after activating his Main Ability, and accentuates it with his Extra Move
   

• His Transformation only lasts 30 timer counts, and he’s very vulnerable when it expires.
   

Discussion:

SP SSBKK Goku YEL is an underrated Fighter, but still must be used wisely. He’s exceptional when switched in and after Transforming, but his Transformation is very short. After it expires, his Strike & Blast Arts cost increases by 15 for 20 timer counts, and his base stats in his original form are very low as well.

Still, while he's in Kaioken he has some mind-bogglingly high Strike Damage. The release of  SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED and SP SSG Vegeta GRN have made him and his Team much more enticing. He synergizes very well with these two.

Why this Tier?

• His only weakness in Combat is Blast Attack, but he more than makes up for it everywhere else.
   

• His Strike Attack, Special Move Damage and Supportive Abilities are all exceptional.
   

Discussion:

He’s a devastating Offensive powerhouse with an outrageously powerful Special Move, but his Z-Ability is not great and his best possible Teams are still in need of a lot of help.

Why this Tier?

• He’s one of the most durable Fighters in the game.
   

• He struggles to do consistent Damage before 45 timer counts, but does do extra Damage to Androids and has an obscenely powerful Ultimate Move
   

Discussion: 

SP Goku GRN’s lack of reduced cost for Blast Arts Cards as a Ranged Fighter, and the fact that he can struggle to do Damage early in the game holds him back a bit. He’s also exceptionally vulnerable to any Fighter in the game that can remove Attribute Upgrades.

Still, he’s outrageously durable, and gets increasingly scary the longer the game goes on. His Ultimate Move has the potential to kill some Fighters in one blow

Why this Tier?

• He’s a brick wall of a Tank for the first 30 timer counts. After 30 timer counts, his stats still remain Defensive but his playstyle will shift to an Offensive one.

• His Main Ability prevents switching for 10 timer counts, allowing him to control the Combat Loop very effectively.

Discussion:

SP Vegito RED is pretty straightforward, he takes a few moments to warm up and then begins his Offensive assault. Despite the 30% Damage inflicted Buff he receives after 30 timer counts, his base attack stats aren’t great so he can struggle to do Damage at times.

Why this Tier?

• His Blast Attack is still top notch.
   
   

• He's powerful as the last Fighter alive.
   

Discussion:

SP SSJ2 Gohan RED might be popular, but it’s a fact that he’s fallen off considerably. Son Family didn’t give him any Z-Ability support with the distant releases of SP Goku GRN and SP SSJ3 Goku GRN. SP SSJ4 Goku PUR Buffs the Tag, but is a Melee Fighter and has awful synergy with SP SSJ2 Gohan RED. Hybrid Saiyans have also been pretty much completely neglected.

In practice, he’s not as durable as he once was and his Teammates really have to start dying for him to start doing some consistently good Damage. His Damage Uniques before then pale in comparison to what newer Fighters have.

Why this Tier?

• Her Precise Assist Main Ability provides Damage to allies when switched, and also Heals them, which is an absurdly powerful Support quality.

• She has zero Damage Uniques and very low base Attack stats, as well as low Health, but the releases of SP Android #21 PUR and SP Android #21 BLU  have made her a lot more viable.

Discussion

SP Android #18 RED should really be categorized as a Support Fighter, not a Defense Fighter. Her low Health makes it hard for her to reliably Tank, and her most effective trait is his Precise Assist Main Ability, which helps Teammates significantly.

She synergizes very well with the new SP Android #21 PUR and SP Android #21 BLU and works both on a Female Warrior or Android-centric Team.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an extremely hard hitting Melee Fighter.
   

• He holds two Blast Arts Cards, but luckily changes any Blast Arts Cards to Strike Arts Cards when he enters the battlefield.

Discussion:

SP Android #14 GRN is a pulverizing Melee Fighter with exceptionally high Strike Attack, Strike Buffs, and a multitude of ways to inflict faint. While the Blast-centric Android Team would seem problematic for him, he swaps any Blast Arts Card to a Strike Arts Card when he enters the battlefield, ensuring he’ll be able to do what he does best.

He has a lot of competition now with SP Super #17 GRN’s release, but he’s still exceptional and makes a case for their primary Green Fighter

Why this Tier?

• He functions like SP SSJ Kid Goku GRN on steroids. He’s incredibly oppressive for the first 60 timer counts, but unlike SP SSJ Kid Goku GRN he’s still great afterward.

• His “Let Us Begin Our Revenge” Unique Ability increases Damage to Saiyans, and applies Attribute Downgrade "+35% to Damage Received" for 20 timer counts when he enters the battlefield.

Discussion:

SP Golden Frieza GRN is a downright terrifying Offensive Fighter. Anti-Saiyan Damage inflicted Uniques will always keep a Fighter in the mix, but he combines this trait with a 50% Damage inflicted Buff from the start of the Match for 60 timer counts while always inflicting Enemies with Attribute Downgrade "+35% to Damage Received" for 20 timer counts when he comes into the battlefield

SP Golden Frieza GRN is still one of the better Offensively Fighters in the game, but doesn’t set the world on fire like he did when Lineage of Evil became a top Team.

Why this Tier?

• He has a ridiculous amount of Unique Abilities that increase his Damage output, as well as Restore his Ki.

• He draws an Ultimate Arts Card which deals massive amounts of Damage and Buffs any Gohan Variant Teammate on top of being the second Legendary Finish added to Dragon Ball Legends.

Discussion:

SP SSJ Kid Goten PUR needs a specific Team around him to really shine, but if provided with the right Teammates, he can unleash a ton of Blast Damage.

Unfortunately, SP SSJ4 Goku PUR completely kicks him out of the core of Son Family, so he not only loses his spot there, but drops down to Tier 1 to boot.

Why this Tier?

• He has a Blast shield during Strike Attacks and when using his Ultimate Move--which does massive Damage and draws an Extra Move Arts Card.
   
   

• The additions of SP Golden Frieza GRN and SP FP FF Frieza YEL formed one of the most devastating Offensive trios ever seen in PVP, and he also pairs nicely with
  SP Cooler PUR
   

Discussion:

SP FF Cooler BLU is starting to feel like SP SSJ Bardock BLU in the sense that he’s a walking switch-out Buff with just OK Strike Damage at this point, but his Team is still so good that he warrants a spot in Tier 1.

Why this Tier?

• He’s like SP Perfect Cell YEL in his prime, but for Saiyans. High Damage, disrupting Abilities and an Ultimate Move nuke will keep him relevant for a while.

• His Health stat is excessively low, and his best theoretical Teams are rare and require limit breaks to mask his fragility.

Discussion:

SP SSJ3 Goku GRN is not what some people were expecting, as he doesn’t seem to be as flat out oppressive as his counterparts on release, such as SP Angry Goku BLU, SP Super Vegito PUR, and SP SSJ2 Gohan RED. 

Most notably, he’s very fragile and his Extra Move is a Counter that only works on Blast Attacks, and he can only use a Special Move to Combo off of it.Still, he’s a very solid Fighter that excels at most facets of combat, and has a few game-changing components in his toolkit that can make up for some of his flaws.

Why this Tier?

• He’s insufferable to play against and is great Defensively.

• He has perhaps the most game-changing Ultimate Move in the entire game.

Discussion

Simply put, SP Super #17 GRN is a Defense Fighter first and foremost, but unlocking his Damage potential isn’t too hard either. His Main Ability gives him a massive 50% Blast Attack, and killing just one Enemy Fighter with him gives him great Damage Buffs when switched onto the battlefield from that point on.

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.

Why this Tier?

• His Special Move is a nuclear missile.
• His Anti-Saiyan Unique Ability gives him a lot of longevity.

Discussion:

He recently received some Buffs in the recent Balance Changes, bolstering his Special Move Damage and overall stats. While he’s devastating Offensively against Saiyans, he and his Frieza Force Team can feel lackluster against non-Saiyans.

Why this Tier?

• His toolkit requires him to take Damage to unleash his full potential, which bodes terribly for his power crept stats.
• Hybrid Saiyans are now more Blast-centric, making him even harder to justify anywhere.

Discussion:

SP SSJ2 Gohan PUR’s toolkit was always susceptible to power creep, and that’s exactly why he’s no longer justifiable on any core or bench.

Why this Tier?

• The main trait of his toolkit is elongated Combos, which doesn’t bode well for him considering how Damage mitigation works depending on how long the Combo is.

• It’s hard for him to core in any Team, and he’s also very fragile.

Discussion

SP SSJ Vegeta BLU has a good toolkit, but it’s very hard for him to find a place on the theoretical best Teams. SP Vegeta BLU is superior on Vegeta Family and Sagas from the Movies, SP Angry Goku BLU is superior on Saiyans, and SP SSB Goku BLU is vastly superior on God Ki. His Held Blast Arts Cards have a lot of bad synergy with some of the better Fighters on those Tags as well.

It’s uncertain why yet another Blue Transforming Saiyan was released, but SP SSJ Vegeta BLU simply has a hard time finding a home as a result.

Why this Tier?

• He gets a wealth of Offensive Buffs that can’t be cancelled, making him arguably the hardest hitter in the game.

• He’s incredibly fragile, has limited Team options, and one dimensional Offense.  A proper Universe 6 Team however could skyrocket him into Z Tier.

Discussion: 

SP Hit YEL suffers from the same thing SP SSJ2 Gohan RED suffered from on release as his Team options are suboptimal for the moment. Unlike SP SSJ2 Gohan RED, however, SP Hit YEL’s very low base Defenses and Health make him very fragile on top of it all.

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. Even Fusion Warriors perform well against Yellow Color Counter Teams now due to the addition of SP Super #17 GRN.

Why this Tier?

• He’s a good Defensive Fighter.
   
   

• While his base Attack stats are quite low, he has quite a few Unique Abilities that make his Damage good.
   
   

Discussion:

SP Goku Black PUR is an excellent representation of the Goku Black in the anime, as he’s hard to take out and gets progressively stronger the more Damage he takes. Most notably, he receives a 50% Damage Inflicted Buff every time he takes Damage.

Future got a big uptick in viability with the addition of SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED, and SP Goku Black PUR now performs much better. His anti-Saiyan Unique Ability is quite enticing. Still, the Tag is in desperate need of a Blue Fighter.

Why this Tier?

• His Anti-Saiyan and Anti-Hybrid Saiyan Unique Ability makes his Damage output decent against those Tags.
   

• He’s been power crept to death, but recently received a Zenkai Awakening.
   

Discussion:

Future got a huge boost in viability with the release of SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED, but unless he's at Zenkai level 1, SP Goku Black YEL has no spot on the Team for a multitude of reasons. He can’t utilize SP Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black RED’s held Strike Arts Cards effectively and he’s also notably worse than SP Perfect Cell YEL and SP SSJ Gohan YEL

That being said, at Zenkai level 1 he's a lot more viable, but a bit of a "win-more" Fighter, which can be situational.

Why this Tier?

• He has the means to stack Offensive Buffs and inflict quite decent Strike Damage, especially against a “Goku”.

• His Blast Damage is awful, however he’s lucky enough to be in Strike Focused Teams like Sagas Warriors.

Discussion:

Zenkai 1 SP LSSJ Broly BLU is honestly a pretty nice Fighter, boasting good stats -- except his Blast Attack -- and a decent Offensive toolkit, however his best Team, Sagas Warriors, has better options than him with his same Color. Luckily, he’s still relevant thanks to his Zenkai Ability.

Why this Tier?

• He’s a good Last Man Standing Fighter, but for the most part his Buffs are either unreliable or focused against Lineage of Evil specifically.

• His good stats are not enough to make him even a decent Fighter in early-mid Game.

Discussion:

Zenkai 1 SP SSJ Goku RED is much superior compared to his former self, but that’s not enough to make him competitive in the current Meta, due to his lack of relevant Buffs for the most part. Anyway, his Zenkai Ability still makes him a good Bench Fighter in some Teams like Saiyan.

Why this Tier?

• He’s insufferable to play against. He Heals with every Arts landed, has a 30% chance to Paralyze on all of his Strikes, and reduces Ki by 30 every time he uses an Extra Move.
   

• His Blast Attack and Ki Restore Speed are awful.
   

Discussion:

SP Kid Buu RED helped Regeneration come back to prominence, but was always a considerably flawed Fighter. His Damage was never consistent, he draws Extra Moves which has always been a clunky mechanic, and he’s just now been outright replaced by SP Super Janemba RED

Why this Tier?

• SP Hero Tapion RED brings a lot of useful abilities to the field, but still remains a secondary option to the main Core for Sagas Warriors

• 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.

Why this Tier?

• Reminiscent of his grandson from the Future, SP Bardock YEL's Defeated Ability plays a similar role to Saiyan Allies that SP Super Saiyan Gohan YEL provided for Future Fighters some months ago. 

• His awkward placement on his secondary Tag leaves SP Bardock YEL with a single focus on his preferred Team.

Discussion:

Bardock variants have become notorious for prophesying a major Meta shift, and this one is no different. While SP Bardock YEL may be overshadowed by the latest Update, his Defensive and Support Abilities are welcome on the field, while he is on the field. His Z-Ability leaves much to be desired, but his presence brings out the best in his Saiyan Allies. 

Why this Tier?

• He was the primary Blue for Androids until SP Android #21 BLU came along

• He has excellent Blast Attack and Crisis-esque Abilities.
   

Discussion

SP Android #13 BLU is a bit of a one dimensional Fighter as he’s almost entirely Blast oriented, but he becomes truly terrifying when his Teammates are killed. He also has a Unique Ability that inflicts more Damage to Goku variants, which will always be relevant and is especially useful considering how popular he is.

Why this Tier?

• She’s categorized as a Defense Fighter but through a multitude of Damage received Debuffs and a devastating Ultimate Move, SP Ribrianne BLU can punch a hole through almost anyone.

• When her Teammates start dying--specifically Female Warriors--her Strike Damage becomes terrifying.

Discussion:

SP Ribrianne BLU always had one of the best toolkits in the game, but her viability hinges on how good Female Warriors are. Once again, it seems like Female Warriors are starting to be neglected, so SP Ribrianne BLU hasn’t been seen much.

Why this Tier?

• Her, SP Rozie YEL and SP Ribrianne BLU form an extremely powerful trio.

• She’s a bit one dimensional in her Attack and somewhat fragile, but her Damage output is absolutely devastating.

Discussion

SP Kakunsa PUR is similar to SP Golden Frieza GRN in the sense that she’s very early-game oriented, but she also manages to stay relevant the entire game regardless, even in death as she permanently Buffs and Heals Teammates when killed.

Similar to SP Ribrianne BLU, she has access to one of the most powerful Extra Moves in the game - Lovely Pose. This Extra Move Debuffs the entire opposing Team while simultaneously Buffing her own allies.

Why this Tier?

• He was recently on the receiving end of Balance Changes and has vastly improved stats and a versatile toolkit to go along with it.
• He does a little bit of everything for his Team, whether Offensively or Defensively.

• Discussion:

  SP Android #17 PUR controls the Combat Loop very effectively with his well-rounded toolkit. He’ll save his Teammates, cripple the Enemy Team and dish out destructive amounts of Damage while they’re vulnerable all at the same time. Awakened This Should Be Fun! coming into the game makes him that much harder to play against as well.

Why this Tier?

• He provides good Strike Damage, an exceptional Extra Move, and a powerful Main Ability that takes Dragon Balls away from the Enemy and adds them to his own.

• He can be fragile at times due to his continuous self-Debuff.

Discussion

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. 

That being said, his Extra Move provides multiple Buffs and clears Attribute Downgrades. He pairs nicely with SP Broly: Cheelai BLU as both are great Offensively and manipulate Dragon Balls.

Why this Tier?

• He has excellent Blast Attack, Crisis-esque Abilities even after only one Teammate has been killed, and controls the Combat Loop effectively with his Extra Move.

• He’s actually quite fragile despite being able to Transform, unlike other Transforming Fighters.

Discussion: 

SP Gohan GRN is a great Offensive Fighter whether it’s through his innate extra Damage to Androids, his multiple Blast Attack Buffs, and his Main Ability nullifying unfavorable Element factors for 30 timer counts. However, for a Transforming Fighter, he isn’t very durable.

Why this Tier?

• He has great, consistent Damage output and absurdly high Defense stats for an Offensive Fighter.

• He has Team problems in more ways than one.

Discussion:

SP Goku RED is a pretty straightforward Fighter, he possesses a 40% Damage inflicted Buff when entering the battlefield, his Extra Move can increase Card Draw speed, and every Strike and Blast he uses improves his Ultimate Move Damage.

That being said, the primary Son Family Team is still centered around Blast, and he’s competing with SP SSJ2 Gohan RED. He’ll likely go up in value when Son Family inevitably gets more Strike oriented Fighters.

Why this Tier?

• Her instant Ki Restoration and Damage inflicted Buffs when switched in and out of the battlefield enable long Combos.
• Her toolkit, Equip options, and Support qualities make her very versatile as she can fit into many Teams.

Discussion:

SP Mai GRN is still a serviceable Support Fighter, most notably due to the instant Ki Restore she gives the Team when switched in and out of the battlefield.

She drops down to Tier 2 because of the fact that she’s replaced as the core Fighter in Future by SP Gohan GRN, and because of her fragility due to power creep.

Why this Tier?

• Her, SP Kakunsa PUR and SP Ribrianne BLU form an extremely powerful trio.

• Despite being a Ranged Fighter which is antithetical to what her Teammates prefer, she still has game-changing components in her toolkit.

Discussion

SP Rozie YEL preferring to use Blast Arts Cards shouldn’t be too big of a problem due to her Main Ability which  changes her own Strike Arts Cards to Blast Arts Cards. She also draws a Special Move Arts Card, enough Ki to use it, and it can inflict Faint to make matters worse.

Another nifty part of her toolkit is the fact that she Heals her Teammates when she kills an Enemy. Similar to SP Kakunsa PUR, she also Heals and permanently Buffs her Teammates when killed herself.

Why this Tier?

• Despite his base Attack stat values, SP Zamasu RED has a deceptively high and Meta countering Damage output thanks to his Utopia’s Beginning Unique Ability.
• His “Immortal Body” Unique Ability makes him very durable and puts a ton of pressure on Enemies who intend to use Rising Rush, as he restores his own Health by 20% when it reaches 0.

Discussion:

SP Zamasu RED was a revolutionary Fighter on release, as he was incredibly hard to take out and could dish out some punishment himself as well.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on who's asked, he’s free falling due to constant releases of new powerful Fighters that are either Blue, anti-Regeneration, or nullify Endurance. Power creep has not done him any favors either.

SP Angry Goku BLU especially makes work of SP Zamasu RED instantaneously, making him a flat out liability considering how popular he will be.

Why this Tier?

• He provides both Fusion and Hybrid Saiyans with a decent Defense Fighter, as well as a Health Z-Ability.

• He draws an Ultimate Arts Card with a whopping 75% chance to inflict Faint if all of his Teammates are alive.

Discussion:

His Ultimate Move was recently bug-fixed, so he no longer hits faint 100% of the time. This hurts his viability, as his Health was always too low to reliably tank and his Damage was also inconsistent.

Why this Tier?

• Her “Hammer of Justice” Unique Ability gives her a 10% Damage inflicted Buff per Teammate and an additional 15% for each Purple Teammate.

• Her Z-Ability doesn’t Buff herself until she’s limit broken to 5 stars.

Discussion:

She has an above average toolkit that does a little bit of everything but doesn’t excel at anything in particular either. Her "Hammer of Justice" Unique Ability does give her a lot of Damage but she’s still held back by her Z-Ability and Team options, which are not ideal.

Why this Tier?

• Ranged Fighters have always been a step behind Melee Fighters due to how hard it can be to use Blast Arts Cards effectively, but SP SSJ Kid Goku GRN makes utilizing his Ranged toolkit a breeze.

• He gains Damage Buffs for every Blast Arts Card drawn. Coupled with his Main Ability which increases Card draw speed, this allows him to do significant amounts of Damage.

Discussion:

While still a destructive Ranged Fighter, he and his Teams are feeling the effect of power creep. He’s been replaced by SP Gohan GRN in Son Family, and the SP SSJ Bardock BLU-led Super Saiyan Team is incredibly fragile at this point.

Why this Tier?

• While his stats are only a bit above average, he provides insane amounts of Debuffs for Enemy Fighters as well as gradually increasing his own Damage depending on what kind of Attack he decides to use.

• His Intimidate permanently increases all Enemy Strike Arts Card cost by 3 every time he’s switched into Combat. This is stackable and can only be removed with Abilities that remove Attribute Downgrades--such as SP Zamasu RED's Main Ability or SP SSJ Gohan YEL’s Extra Move.

Discussion:

While categorized as a Ranged Fighter, SP SSJ Vegeta YEL has quite a bit of utility since he can continually Debuff the Enemy with either his Extra Move, Main Ability, or “Unfading Fighting Spirit” Unique Ability. He joins SP SSJ Kid Goku GRN as a new breed of Fighters that can make Blast Attack exceptionally effective.

Why this Tier?

• His "Chaining Power" Unique Ability helps his Teammates tremendously when he's switched to standby.

• He also has a good Melee toolkit and great Unique Abilities that make him an invaluable asset in Sagas Warrior Teams.

Discussion:

SP Fury Broly RED has amazing Synergy and Team options. He can fit into Saiyan, Sagas Warrior, or Frieza Force Teams. But he has a lot of competition in each Tag and isn't the strongest of any.

Why this Tier?

• He gives good Buffs to Hybrid Saiyans and has some pretty formidable Strike Attack himself after a few timer counts have passed.

• Hybrid Saiyans are still a work in progress, and he’s pretty fragile.

Discussion:

Simply put, he gives nice Support to his Teammates and his Strike Attack is good. His Team is still a ways away from being one of the best, and since he can only be limit broken to 3 stars he’s a bit fragile at the moment. He still has a lot of potential to move up and will likely do it once Hybrid Saiyans get better and he's able to be limit broken some more.

Why this Tier?

• He’s an exceptional Tank with formidable Strike Attack to go along with it.
   

• 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.

The release of Strike-oriented SP SSJ Gohan Youth YEL was a great boon to him, as he was always a phenomenal Fighter, just one with a Strike based toolkit which was not what Son Family Teams were typically structured around.

Why this Tier?

• After 5 stars, he Buffs Strike Attack and Defense for Super Saiyans, through his Z-Ability and Damage, Critical Rate, and Critical Damage through his Unique Ability.

• His own stats are no longer that impressive, but he continues to receive excellent Teammates such as SP Super Vegito PUR

Discussion:

His Buffs to allied Super Saiyans can enable them to do sickening amounts of Damage, but he himself can be a burden in most games specifically due to his Defenses.

It’s at the point now where SP SSJ Bardock BLU doesn’t need to be used on the core of a Super Saiyan Team, so he falls to Tier 2.

Why this tier?

• He’s not a conventional Tank, his Defensive capabilities mostly lie with his Ability to increase Card costs as well as restoring 5% of his Health when he enters the battlefield.

• His stats--namely his Offensive stats--are very lackluster.

Discussion:

SP Metal Cooler RED has had quite the redemption arc. He was underwhelming on release, but had found his place in the Meta as the primary Lineage of Evil Red. While SP FF Frieza RED has overtaken him there, he’s still a nifty choice to use in Sagas From the Movies with the new SP Goku GRN

He still struggles heavily to do Damage, but is useful Defensively and provides a Team Heal

Why this Tier?

• He’s Purple, for some reason. This makes him hard to justify as a core member over SP Android #17 PUR.
   

• He has some nice Support qualities, but his stats leave a lot to be desired.
   

Discussion

The release of SP Super #17 GRN gives a lot more appeal, as he can seemingly spam Extra Moves. The first of which Debuffs the opposing Fighters Blast Defense, followed by the second Extra Move used giving his Teammates 25% Blast Damage permanently.

From that point on, his Extra Move will continuously increase Enemy Blast Arts cost by 3, which can flat out cripple them.

Why this Tier?

• He provides the Team with massive and permanent Buffs upon his death.

• He also brings some much needed Strike Arts Cards to the Future Tag.

Discussion:

His Special Move increases Enemy Strike Damage received by 25%, his Extra Move removes Debuffs in addition to self-healing when Teamed with Trunks variants, and his drawable Ultimate Move removes Enemy Attribute Upgrades. All of this makes him extremely flexible in Combat.

The addition of SP Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black RED has given him a bit more viability, but he's still a bit power crept.
