I hit for the multi summon and received SSJ blue Vegeta (AGL), SR master roshi (max power), and on to my third SSJ Gohan (Adult). Dopeness

[BluePiccolo]

Um, any advice for a beginner?
I just started out yesterday, I'm rank 9 I believe so far.
Should I just grind quests, any tips and tricks?
Arigatou!

Um, any advice for a beginner?

Should I just grind quests, any tips and tricks?
Arigatou!

Been playing since the first week it came out.

1st piece of advice: Keep restarting until you get a decent SSR with your first summon after the tutorial. Any SSR will do except AGL SSJ1 Goku, SSJ Teq Vegeta, PHY Xeno Trunks or PHY Piccolo. Avoid those. Then start playing.

2nd: ONLY SPEND STONES ON RATE UP SUMMON EVENTS! NEVER USE THEM FOR REFILLING STAMINA OR TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM A GAME OVER OR REGULAR SUMMONS! There was an event recently with a higher chance for SSR's. Save your stones for those types of summons.

3rd: Do all missions on Normal, Hard and Z Hard and always try to clear all story and strike events on every difficulty as well. Also, the missions in the main menu.

4th: If a character is farmable ALWAYS farm 10 to raise their super attack. It's always worth it.

5th: ALWAYS read the news to keep up with event information and get valuable tips.

Great advice, thank you very much.

Couple of questions though:

What determines if a character is "farmable", can you elaborate a bit?
Furthermore, what do you mean "farm 10"?

In regard to gameplay, can you recommend a good team composition, should I try to make a team as diverse as possible or concentrate on stacking my most powerful characters?

[ShadowDude112]

If a character is farmable, that means you can get more than one of that character and keep doing that. R TEQ Goku has a 100% drop rate on Z-Hard in Time for an Epic Showdown. Keep farming that and you can raise his Super Attack level to 10.

I'm failing to understand how does farming R TEQ Goku increase "his" super attack level to 10? Who is HE, because I will have multiple same cards, if I understand correctly.
Do you mean I should use that droppable card to level up my main chars?

Okay. So, let's say you got 1 R TEQ Goku, right? So then you get 9 more of those. You go into training mode, select the main R Goku, and put 5 R Goku's in there. Since they're the same character, the Super Attack level goes up. Do that with the other 4, and you've raised R Goku's Super Attack level by 9 bringing it up to 10. Super Attack is important to bring up. Super Attack goes up by training a character, and one of the training characters is the exact same character of the same type. So R TEQ Goku goes up by 1 for every R TEQ Goku you have as a training partner.

I have been playing since the day Dokkan Battle came out globally, so I have some advice to offer as well. This R TEQ Goku can be Dokkan Awakened into an SR AGL Angel Goku. That Goku can itself be Dokkan Awakened into SR TEQ SSJ Goku. Additionally, this Goku can also be Dokkan Awakened (in the Japanese version at the moment, though eventually in the Global version as well) into an SSR TEQ Angel SSJ Goku. So, that means that initial R TEQ Goku is going to be a very powerful unit as you progress through the game. My advice, is to train 4 separate R TEQ Goku units, and have each of those 4 leveled up to SA 10. When the time comes, take one of those 4, and Awaken it completely. Then take the 2nd, and Awaken it to 2nd highest stage, and so on. The idea is that, by the time you're done (whenever that may be), you'll have 4 different Goku units (base Goku, Angel Goku, SSJ Goku, and Angel SSJ Goku), all of which have a Special Attack level of 10. If this sounds like a lot of work, its because it is-- BUT, R TEQ Goku is incredibly easy to farm, so I recommend you do this, as a long-term strategy.

[BluePiccolo]

Is there any trick how to reroll properly at the "PULL DOWN" screen?
Sometimes there's an image of Satan flying by, sometimes Goku is in his base, sometimes he goes SSj, sometimes the text is rainbow colored...

And I'm bumping my previous question:
In regard to gameplay, can you recommend a good team composition, should I try to make a team as diverse as possible or concentrate on stacking my most powerful characters?

I've seen many, many different descriptions of what the summon animations mean, but the truth is that there's no official explanation. There's no trick to it, I'm afraid. "Rerolling" is very tedious.

You'll notice that you have six team slots. There are five colors (AGL, TEQ, STR, INT, and PHY). So, the idea is to have 5 "mono" teams (that is, a team of entirely one color), and 1 "rainbow" team (a team with one of each color, plus an extra unit). What units to use on these teams depends entirely on what units you actually have (since Leader Skills, Passive Skills, and Stats are completely different for each unit). If you're just starting out, my suggestion is to focus on acquiring any of the currently available Strike characters (AGL Vegeta / Pikkon, STR Cyborg Tao / Grandpa Gohan, PHY Piccolo Jr. / King Cold, INT Mecha Frieza / King Vegeta, TEQ Jackie Chun / Mighty Mask). These characters start as SRs, and they all have a Leader Skill that gives +3 Ki to all units of their color. This is perhaps the best possible leader skill, and when combined when someone else's leader (whom you pick before starting a level), you can have a +6 Ki boost, which is fantastic.

Rainbow teams are much more difficult to build. My suggestion is that for a rainbow team, you use units who inherently work well with each other, or have some sort of theme (i.e., Bardock's crew, the Ginyu Force, Androids, etc.). Their links with other units of their kind will make up for lacking the "strength of one color." Rainbow leaders are not plentiful at the moment. I would say that you have a leader whose skill increases your HP. That's beneficial no matter what color or units you have or are using. Also, there are some units whose skill gives all units a 25% ATK boost (SSJ Bardock, SSJ3 Goku, etc). Those are also ideal for a rainbow team.

Also, one last piece of general advice: Always, always, ALWAYS guard against the opponent (when they attack, block with the color they are weak to). ALWAYS. I don't care if guarding means you can't use a Super Attack that turn. GUARD. ALWAYS.

[alakazam^]

The Global version shouldn't be changing cards, don't know what they were thinking.

[BluePiccolo]

I got an SSR Teq Super Buu in my first summon, I guess I'll stick with that. What do you guys think?

[VenomSymbiote]

The Global version shouldn't be changing cards, don't know what they were thinking.

The JPN version and the Global version are not identical. They're close, but not quite. Global occasionally will do things differently from the JPN version, presumably because the time gap between them (and the order in which the events are given) force them to.

I like that one, he heals your HP.

I think "rerolling" is a waste of time because you can play the game just fine with any combination of characters you're given. They are always adding new ones so what's considered the best now won't be in the future. Just enjoy the game.

Yeah, guess so but it wouldn't be that hard to just mimic the Japanese version, right? I don't think people would complain if they were equal.

[Dotogam]

I just started the JPN version of Dokkan Battle, I played for 3 days and I got 43 dragon stones. In global I had to wait 2 weeks to get 50 stones. IS this normal? (I have not bought stones).

[alakazam^]

It is, there are a lot of events and bonuses going on at the moment.

Not for long, no. A couple weeks more, maybe, but events like these are frequent, though.

[Dotogam]

Atleast it's frequent. So should I spend my stones on the Dokkan Fest?

[alakazam^]

It depends if you reeealy want any of those characters but if not, you'd better save them for other campaigns that have increased rates. You're not really missing anything because those characters are still available. If you really want to try, though, I'd suggest using the 40 Dragon Stones one.
