Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle (ドラゴンボールZ ドッカンバトル Doragon Bōru Zetto Dokkan Batoru) is a free-to-play mobile game by Bandai Namco based on Dragon Ball Z. It is a mix of board and puzzle game with manga-style story dialogue. It has been released for iOS and Android on July 16, 2015.

Story[]

A mysterious person summons Shenron and wishes to discover who is the strongest person alive of all time.

During an intensive battle between Goku and Vegeta, the dimensional distortion starts, merging different time periods.

Future Trunks and a new Time Patrol are contacted by King Kai, who asks to investigate the dimensional distortion, and warns them that the situation can end in destruction. Their investigation shows they are in May 7 of an unknown age. They decide to enter the World Martial Arts Tournament.

After beating Mr. Satan, he says the World Tournament Announcer wants to discuss something with all of the participants. The announcer says there is a strange rumor about someone going after famous martial arts masters, and ask the participants to be careful.

A Gloomy Parallel World

Future Trunks remembers that something similar happened in the past and concludes that it may be related to the dimensional distortion. They go on and find out that the person who is going after the famous martial arts master is none other than Mercenary Tao. They find and defeat him and he says that he is better a bodyguard than an assassin with the fewer number of hits he is receiving. Future Trunks surmises Tao isn't the mastermind behind the recent attacks. King Kai contacts Future Trunks and informs him that the dimensional distortions have attracted someone with evil ki and gives him the ki signature's location.

Future Trunks' investigation of the ki signature leads him to Raditz who is in the middle of fighting Jewel. Future Trunks stops Raditz from killing Jewel and is shocked to learn he is a Saiyan survivor as Future Trunks is unaware of Raditz's familial relationship with Goku. Likewise, Raditz is unaware of Future Trunks' familial relationship to Vegeta though he does note his face seems familiar.

After they defeat Raditz, Raditz realizes they can alter their power levels and notes Future Trunks' high power level while revealing he is searching to recruit Kakarot to join him and his three comrades. Future Trunks recognizes Goku's Saiyan name and realizes he's been targeting Earthlings with high power levels in search of Goku. Despite Future Trunks' high power level, Raditz decides recruiting him is futile given his personality and creates an explosion to flee.

Future Trunks notes during the fight he sensed another evil ki signature and wonders if there are others targeting Earthlings besides Raditz.

The Ultimate Life Form!

Future Trunks is contacted by King Kai who reveals the dimensional distortion is expanding at an even faster rate and fears this evil ki signature belongs to an enemy far more dangerous than Raditz. However, Future Trunks' investigation is sidetracked when he is confronted by the Pilaf Gang. They defeat the Pilaf Machine which explodes surprising a nearby Mr. Satan who recognizes Future Trunks from the tournament and Mr. Satan reveals he is also on the trail of the culprit behind the attacks. Future Trunks tries to convince Mr. Satan to go home but he refuses to listen and rushes off to investigate forcing them to go after him. They eventually encounter a Pirate Robot which Mr. Satan attempts to take on but fails to defeat. They defeat the robot in place of Mr. Satan who wisely decides to listen to Future Trunks when he tells him to leave the culprit to them. Future Trunks notes he feels Goku's ki up ahead which he notes is odd given Goku's pure heart. Eventually, they find Imperfect Cell, confirming Future Trunks' suspicions. Future Trunks reveals his knowledge of Cell's existence to Imperfect Cell and notes he can defeat Cell in his current form though Cell calls his assertion a bluff and attacks under the impression he can kill and absorb Future Trunks. Future Trunks notices Cell has increased his power through absorption and Cell decides Future Trunks is too much on the defensive to be absorbed and creates Cell Juniors to aid him. King Kai, however, tells Future Trunks to focus on taking out the Cell Juniors first ruining Cell's plans forcing Cell to use Solar Flare and flee. Cell escapes planning to absorb Future Trunks' friends to increase his strength.

A Call to Arms

Realizing Cell's plan Future Trunks decides to inform his friends about Cell. Unfortunately in this timeline Tien and Chiaotzu are still students of Master Shen who teams up with Tao to take revenge on Future Trunks. They are defeated but Tien arrives to defend the Crane School's honor. Fortunately, Chiaotzu had been warned earlier about Cell and defends them though Master Shen attacks Chiaotzu for his defiance which causes Tien to reject his master's evil ways. With Master Shen and Tao defeated, as well as their friends having been warned about Cell, Future Trunks returns to investigating the dimensional distortion unaware Frieza plans to invade the planet.

  • World Tournament: A Psuedo-PvP mode that pits a player against multiple Player Teams controlled by AI. There are 4 Stages per run, and can be played unlimited times during the event period. This mode rewards the player very well, for the first 30 Million Points collected. At the end of the event the system calculates the overall world rankings and local ranking, distrubuting prizes to every player who participated based on those rankings, including sought after rewards such a Summon Tickets, Potential Orbs and Dragon Stones
  • Portal of Memories: Allows the Player to access any Story, Growth, Challenge or Z-Battle stage that is not currently open at any time of the week. It uses special keys instead of stamina to access the stages and gives the same rewards; however the player cannot utilize the Rewards Boost feature when using the Portal of Memories
  • Dokkan Virtual Ultimate Clash: A Monthly end game mode where the player selects up to 112 of their UR, Transcended UR and LR Characters to complete a series of battles to obtain many rewards including the exclusive treasure item "Battlefield Memory" which is exchangible for rare items and exclusive characters.
  • Explosive Chain Battle: A game mode where damage and speed is all that matters. The Player sets characters for friends and guests to use in a Co-Op esque setting. The player chooses allies that work best with their attacker to try and deal as much damage as possible to the boss. At the end of the event, total damage numbers for hardest super attack dealt are broken into tiers which rank players in percentiles. All Players who participated recieve "Emblem of Cooperation" at the end of the event and during the event, regardless of the amount of damage they dealt, which can be exchanged for Secret Treasure Chests in Baba's Shop
  • Pettan Battle: In this AFK mode, player's collect "Seals" or "Stickers", each one has Chibi Artwork of some of the many existing characters already in the game. Players send their Seals to fight enemy seals, able to collect rewards 1 of 4 rewards, such as Potential Orbs. The Seals automatically fight the battle while the player either does other things in game, or doing something else entirely, even if the app itself is closed. The player has to wait a certain amount of time based on how many Seals they use to fight each battle. The higher the difficulty of the fight, the better the rewards the player earns (if they win). At the end of the battle, players collect their rewards, as well as earn some Seals back. This mode is entirely free-to-play, all players are able to collect which ever prizes they want while also collecting Seals without needing to spend real money. One thing to note is players can only collect one type of reward as a time, players can participate in all 5 fights for Zeni, however they cannot select to participate in fights that award the player with Training Items, Potential Orbs or Awakening Medals until all the fights for Zeni end.

Home[]

At the Home screen, you see your team with the leader displayed. You can select various options on the Home screen:

  • World Tournament: The World Tournament is held on different occasions. It is for testing your Dokkan deck against others;
  • Virtual Dokkan Ultimate Clash: A game mode that can only be challenged with UR rarity characters or higher. Defeat multiple characters in levels that get more difficult the farther you go;
  • Explosive Chain Battle: A new game mode where you aim to reach high scores by cooperating with characters borrowed from friends or guests and deal as much damage as possible to the enemy.
  • Missions: Various small challenges divided into tiers: Daily, Korin (Normal), Kami (Hard), King Kai (Z-Hard) and Special (based on limited events) and Supreme Kai Tiers
  • Shenron: You can collect the 7 Dragon Balls and make wishes for various rewards. This option was moved to to the Team tab in later versions.
    • Porunga: Sometimes during in-game celebrations, the Namekian Dragon Balls will occasionally be available to collect. They are obtained differently from the normal dragon balls. Like in the anime and manga, he will grant the player 3 wishes at once and gives a different wish selection then Shenron does.
  • Burst Mode: A battle format that allows players to take on preexisting stages with greater difficulty by offering limits on team composition and skills, as well as augmenting the overall power of enemies to provide even more of a challenge.
  • Pilaf's Trove: On the Global version, this is an additional shop separate from the others. Using real money, players can buy packs that give them a variety of different items, such as Hidden Potential Orbs, Skill Orbs and Premium Summon Tickets that allow the player to preform Guaranteed Featured SSR Multi Summons on high value banners like Dokkan Festival or Legendary Summons. All items received are sent to the Gift Box, so the Player can accept them when they please, as well if they are maxed on capacity of something they receive from the pack. There are special packs that come on rotation, like World Tournament Pack, Daily Capsule (a Subscription Service that gives the player extra Dragon Stones daily), Rank Packs that are unlocked as the Player increases their ranks, and packs that the player can purchase once every week. One thing to note is that Pilaf's Trove has become infamous for a majority of the Packs being overpriced while not giving enough rewards to warrant the price (Particularly the Potential Orb Pack, costing $20 USD each prior to Taxation, while only giving roughly the same miniscule amount of items the weekly Hidden Potential orb Stages drop).
  • News: Check the current news
  • Friend: Allows players to check their friend's list, add new friends, remove friends and send friend requests
  • Gift: Receive your gifts from daily logins or rewards;
  • Quest/Events: See below.

Summon[]

By summoning fighters you can build a deck of six cards and a selectable 'friend' or 'guest' to compete in battles. You can summon fighters with Dragon Stones, Friend Points, and Tournament Tickets. Cards can also be earned during quests or events. They can also be purchased in Baba's shop with Incredible Gems, Battlefield Memories, Supreme Kai Stones, and other event-exclusive items. Items can be brought in to aid the fighting experience.

Quest/Events[]

Events and Quests take place on 'Adventure Stages', these stages resemble board games, or more accurately, the adventure mode of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2. By selecting a number, the player's leader can move that many spaces, and landing on various tiles will net certain effects.

Team[]

The Team Menu part is separated in:

  • Team: Where you can check your decks
  • Sell: Where you can sell your cards for Zeni
  • Training: Where you can train your cards using training items, or training partners that can be earned in the Quest mode, Event Mode, or in the Mission mode. Training partners are permantely lost after being used.
  • Awaken: Where you can Awaken Z-Awaken, Dokkan Awaken and Extreme Z-Awaken your characters to increase their power using Awakening Medals that can be earned in the Quests, Events and Missions
  • Items: Where you can see all of your items, including Support Items, Awakening Medals and Treasures
  • Character List: Where you can see all of your cards
  • Dokkan Awaken: Where you can see which characters you can Dokkan Awaken and see how many medals it takes to Awaken or Dokkan Awaken the card
  • Hidden Potential: Where you can increase a card that's a UR or higher Stats with orb's (Some cards have their own special orbs) the same type as theirs;
  • Reverse: Allows players to reverse a Transcended UR or higher characters to their Pre-Dokkan Awakened status, so they can open Hidden Potential Routes or Raise Super Attack levels
  • Special Sticker: Where you can add an animated Special Sticker to a Dokkan Festival Exclusive card and/or cards that can be Extreme Z-Awakened.
  • Encyclopedia: On the Japanese Version only, there is an Encyclopedia that details every character found in the game. The player can help fill it through the characters they obtain through summoning, stage drops and awakening, as well as using Friend Leaders. If you lose a character due to Dokkan Awakening or Selling, it does NOT remove their data from the Encyclopedia.

Shop[]

Here you can buy Dragon Stones with real currency. With Dragon Stones, you can buy extra character slots, restore stamina, summon fighters, and continue after you die during a quest or event. The shop menu can be brought up in most events if the player loses the match their fighting, allowing them to buy Dragon Stones to continue to fight, however the In-Battle Shop Menu does not allow players to expand Character Capicity or Restore Stamina

Exchange[]

Here you can visit Baba's shop:

  • Trade Points: You can buy all different types of items in the game using Baba Points. The list refreshes every 20 minutes (or you can use a Dragon Stone);
    • Sometimes during an in-game celebration, the Baba Shop time will be reduced or may offer sales (most commonly 30% off all items)
  • Zeni: You can buy 5 different items (Senzu Beans, Kami's Lookout (training), and 3 awakening medals (Gregory, Bubbles, and Dr. Gero). This list refreshes every 24 hours;
  • Treasure: You can buy items and characters with Incredible Gems and other event exclusive items. Also special Red, Blue and Purple Dragon Stones that are handed out during big celebrations (x million downloads and anniversaries).
  • Secret Treasure Chest: A special chest that can be purchased when you play the Explosive Chain Battle event.

You can trade in characters, training items and locations, awakening medals, skill orbs, support items, treasure items and hidden potential items for Baba Points. Zeni is earned during quests and Incredible Gems is found in quests starting from Area 16 and up. Dragon Stones can be earned when you complete a quest for the first time or earned from Missions.

Stage Board/Card Information[]

Blue tiles give the player items or ki, red tiles indicate opponents or damage hazards, yellow tiles marked with a rainbow question mark deal an effect of ki up, Zeni, item, damage hazards or nimbus travel, purple square tiles indicate a boss battle tile, and other items, such as Dragon Balls, can be collected along the way. Other tiles can allow the player to purchase an item from Baba in exchange for Zeni, travel from one tile to an unconnected tile on the Flying Nimbus. In World Tournament mode, card tiles will reward the player with a card, tiles with a hot bun will heal the player's team health, and tiles with a Budokai Tenkaichi emblem will give the player tournament points (only in the first round). Tiles with a stop sign will be landed on even if the number of advanced tiles exceeds the distance of the stop tile from the player's current tile.

Battle Mode[]

In battle, the player's current team comes into play. Both their fighter and the opposing fighter(s) will be at opposite ends of the screen. To deliver damage, the user taps the ki spheres on their screen.

The fuller the attacker's ki meter is up to a maximum, the bigger the damage is, with a super attack if it is full. However, if you don't get Ki to a certain amount, the card damage will be lower than the base damage. When neighboring spheres connect, it creates 'burst' damage. Certain cards award damage bonuses based on collecting more ki spheres via their leader ability or normal ability, such as the Resurrection of Frieza Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta and Goku cards, as well as the same series's Golden Frieza card, which grant increased percent damage for same type ki spheres that match their type as leader. Collecting ki this way grants a percent damage multiplier that exceeds the maximum set-in place by the ki meter. Other characters, such as technique type Perfect Cell and Skinny Gotenks grant both percent increased attack and defense per same type ki sphere collected. Stockpiling these same type ki spheres fills the Dokkan meter, which can allow a character to perform their super attack in Dokkan Mode, which attacks all enemy targets. Not every character need to completely fill the Ki meter in order to launch a super attack; however, the more ki spheres obtained, the harder these cards will hit with a super attack.

Each card has a Type, which plays an important part in the battles, there are advantageous and disadvantageous types to attack, and taking each type into consideration can help win a match; however, certain cards, such as Super Gogeta, ignore typing on offense and hit everything for super effective damage. If the ki sphere is the same color as a character's type, the Ki is increased x2 for each ki sphere and HP is restored slightly. Once the Ki Meter fills up, it will activate the character's Super Attack. For example, Goku's Kamehameha. Super attacks come in damage tiers, such as "Huge" or "Supreme", with the highest being Mega-Colossal damage for super attacks. The super attack damage goes from left (lowest damage increase) to right (highest damage increase).

Low (130%) < Damage (170%) < Huge/Destructive (200%) < Extreme/Mass (220%) < Supreme/ (250%) < Immense (280%) < Colossal (300%) < Mega-Colossal (350%) < Ultimate (550%)

You are also able to level up super attacks. Leveling the super attack level once will increase the super attack's damage by 10%. All cards (with the exception of non-battle cards, like Old Kai, and Legendary Rare cards) have a maximum super attack level of 10. The higher the level, the greater the boost. All Character rarities are capable of reaching Super Attack Level 10. All Extreme Z-Awakened UR Characters, as well as certain Free-To-Play Characters, can have a maximum Super Attack Level of 15. LR Characters can reach a Super Attack level of 20, where Extreme Z-Awakened LR Characters can reach Super Attack Level 25. To increase this level, the player must train their desired character with an Elder Kai or a duplicate copy of the same card (this guarantees the increase in Super Attack Level). The player can also use a Grand Kai for a 100% Chance to increase the level, however, the Card must be the same type as the Grand Kai or it will fail (An STR-Type Grand Kai will raise the Super Attack Level of any Strength Type Character at a 100% chance of success, however using the STR-Type Grand Kai on a character of any other type will always fail). For other methods with lower success, the player can awaken a character of the same name and feed it in for a chance to raise it (If you have a UR Super Saiyan Goku, you can use any Super Saiyan Goku card of lower or higher rarity to try and increase this level. The chance decreases the lower the rarity of the partner but increases the higher the rarity. Using a card of a higher rarity than the one you're trying to raise usually guarantees success), or an Elder Kai (Dozing) which has a 30% chance to level up any character's Super Attack Level.

Card Information[]

Cards come in different "rarities", where, usually, the Rarer the card, the stronger the character is and the higher level he gets. Several rarities also increase the Super Attack level a card can have. Mainly the special Super Strike cards, Legendary Rare cards and both Extreme Z-Awakened rarities.

Rarity
Low to High
Max Lv Max Super
Attack Lv

Normal 20 10 N rarity
Rare 40 10 R rarity
Super Rare 60 10 SR rarity
Super Super Rare 80 10 SSR rarity
Super Super Rare (Super Strike cards only) 80 15
Ultra Rare 100 10 UR rarity
Transcended Ultra Rare 120 10
Transcended Ultra Rare (Super Strike cards only) 120 15
Extreme Z-Awakened Ultra Rare 140 15
Extreme Z-Awakened Ultra Rare (Super Strike cards only) 140 20
Legendary Rare 150 20 LR rarity
Extreme Z-Awakened Legendary Rare 150 25

Most cards have a special skill called Link Skill. Link Skills work when two related characters (like Goku and Gohan) are used in the same team and their turn follows each other in line. Links Skills also have names. Link skills give an extra boost for Ki, HP, Defense, or Attack. like the Link Skill, Shocking Speed, which gives +2 Ki to both characters. Most cards have Leader Skills which, if the card is placed as the team leader, will give a boost such as increase stats or Ki. All cards have various Leader Skills which is either useful or pointless. Separate cards may have the same leader skill.

  • Link Skills now have a leveling system. The higher the level the higher the boost gained. Max level is 10. Shocking Speed for example starts at Ki +2 at level 1 and becomes Ki +2 and DEF +5% at level 10.

The player has one shared HP bar which is the sum of characters' hit points. If it goes to zero, the player loses and is given a chance to revive himself with full HP using 1 Dragon Stone, with the exception of certain events, such as Surpassing All (and a few other Dokkan Events), Challenge Events, World Tournaments, Prime Battle Events, Virtual Clash and Extreme Z-Battle Events.

At the end of a stage, the player fights a Boss Battle with the boss character of the stage. Defeating this character allows the player to pass the stage and earn various prizes, such as that character's card. While Quest mode delivers an original storyline, players can still go through the franchise's classic story through Events held daily. Every stage requires stamina, which recharges over time.

Each account has a level named Rank. Every time it levels up, more the player's Team Cost Limit, Friend Limit, etc. increases.

More Card Information

There are three ways to improve characters: Battling, Training, and Awakening.

Battling enemies lets the team gain Experience, which they level up and become stronger. Training basically combines characters permanently, with one getting EXP by battling another one who leaves the team. A small bonus is given for training similar types. Awakening is a permanent power-up that uses a special class of item called "Awakening Medals". When the character is fully leveled up it can be used Z-Awakening. Z-Awakening a character greatly powers up a character permanently and increases the card "rarity" by one level. This gives them a shiny background and a higher-level cap, but it can only be done once. It also boosts the type from normal to Super or Extreme Type (Super Type is for Heroes like Goku while Extreme Types are for villains like Frieza), which becomes stronger against all non-Super/Extreme types. Two Super/Extreme types act the same as normal ones.

Every card has a type, each type with its own advantages and disadvantages to the other types (similarly to Pokémon). The 5 types are AGL (Agility), STR (Strength), PHY (Physical), TEQ (Technique), and INT (Intelligence). Each type is represented by its own color in-game, AGL is Blue, STR is Red, PHY is Orange, TEQ is Green, and INT is Purple. The types come into effect in battle. If a card has the advantage over the over, it will deal Super Effective damage, meanwhile, if a character has a disadvantage to the card they are attacking, they will deal not very effective damage, and their attack will be blocked. Two cards to date, has the ability to hit all types with super effective damage (STR and INT Super Gogeta), meanwhile some cards are able to take not very effective damage from all types (INT and STR Super Janemba)

Type Chart (-> Means strong against, <- means weak against)

AGL -> STR, but AGL <- TEQ

STR -> PHY, but STR <- AGL

PHY -> INT, but PHY <- STR

INT -> TEQ, but INT <- PHY

TEQ -> AGL, but TEQ <- INT

Some cards are also classed into sub-tiers called Categories. Each Category contains characters that usually have something in common (such as the "Fusion" Category) or from the same saga (such as the "Majin Buu Saga" Category). Categories don't offer the same benefits as Link Skills, however, on certain stages, a category may give a bonus to drop rates of in-game items and may even give a different item entirely as the bonus drop. Some characters offer benefits to characters within their category through their leader skills.

Extreme Z-Awakening is a newer mechanic introduced to allow older, outdated, characters to be viable in the newer metas. These awakenings increase the card's stats, level, and super attack level cap, while also giving them access to a more modern Leader and Passive skills to allow them too once more be usable. However, each new ability is unlocked as the player awakens said card (With one ability being added at a time, with a total of 9 steps to complete). To obtain the materials for Extreme Z-Awakening, the player must defeat said characters Extreme Z-Awakening stage 30 times (Each level gets increasingly difficult, increasing the boss's damage, health, defense, and well as giving them immunity to status inflictions). At stage 20, it's highly recommended the player uses the category that has the advantage over the event, making it much easier to complete the Awakenings (It is possible to defeat up to stage 30 using the Mono-Type team that has an advantage over the event). The max level in these events is 999, however, playing stage 31 onwards only awards the player with items that are sold to obtain Zeni.

Another way to power up cards is to utilize the potential system. The Potential System offers various bonuses to cards under certain stipulations. Firstly, only cards whose rarity is UR or higher may use the potential system. Secondly, in order to fully utilize the entire Potential System, the player must consume 4 duplicate copies of the same card. Third, the card in question must also be at SA Level 10 (or Higher) to fully activate it. And finally, the player must have a sufficient number of Potential Orbs (Currency to use it) to fully activate.

Somethings to note about Potential Orbs there are 5 basic varieties, 1 color corresponds to each type (Red Orbs for STR Types, Green Orbs for TEQ types, Purple Orbs for INT types, Orange Orbs for PHY types and Blue Orbs for AGL types). Each color also has 3 sizes, Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L). Small orbs are the easiest to obtain and so they are the most consumed, whereas the Large Orbs are the hardest to obtain but are also consumed less. There is a 6th Variety that is clear colored, and come in the 3 sizes, however, these are locked to specific characters, all of which are available in-game. Obtaining the colored orbs are simple, there is a daily stage that rotates to allow the player to collect a specific color once that day (on the weekends all stages are open). They are also commonly given out in bulk as login bonuses as well as mission rewards.

The potential system is comprised of nodes, touching each node will consume potential orbs, but also add additional effects to the cards. A heart shape node increases the card's HP stat, a fist shape node increases the Attack stat and the Saiyan Armor nodes increase the defense stat. The distribution of nodes depends on the character's type, with favoring one stat more than the others. All characters, fully powered up from the system will receive +5400 to one stat, +5000 to another, and +4600 to the third (Except for INT types who receive +5000 to all stats). This principle also applies to the characters acquired in-game, but they receive a lower max stat increase.

Certain tiles are square-shaped, and they instead offer different abilities that aren't stat based. A tile with multiple fists grants the character a chance to perform an additional normal/super attack, a tile with a punch grants the character a chance to perform a critical hit, and a tile with a man sprinting grants a chance for the character to dodge an incoming attack. Other tiles include one of Goku powering up, which increases the damage of super-effective hits (This ability doesn't increase damage done by characters who have super effective on the passive but will increase damage done to the type they normally would have it over [STR Gogeta who has Super Effective against all types will only get the bonus damage from this skill on PHY types, not every type]). One where Goku is blocking decreases damage received from not very effective hits (This ability doesn't decrease damage received by characters who always receive not very effective damage from their passive but will decrease damage received from to the type they normally would have it over [INT Janemba who receives Not Very Effective damage from all types will only get the bonus reduction from this skill on TEQ types, not every type]). Another skill that looks like a Ki-Blast Attack increases damage done by super attacks, and a tile that looks like Goku's face will heal additional health from same type ki spheres (This ability doesn't increase health recovery from characters who heal based on how many Ki spheres obtained from their passive ability, but will increase health recovery from the type they normally would have healed from [INT Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed) who recovers health based on how many orbs he obtains of any color, will only receive additional HP recovery from this skill from INT orbs, not every orb.])

Each skill has a level, with Dodge, Critical and Additional Attacks having the ability to be Level 20, with the higher the level the greater the chance of activating one of these abilities (Additional and Critical get +2% chance per level, whereas Dodge only gets +1% per level). These abilities do not stack with the effect from a Passive (PHY LR Trunks receives a 50% critical chance from his passive and can have an additional chance of +30% from the potential system. However, the game rolls the 50% chance and then his extra 30% chance separately and doesn't combine it to an overall 80% chance to activate a critical hit). The higher the level of the abilities simply increase their strength and are always active once given.

Special Events[]

Anniversaries[]

Every Anniversary had a theme which it followed, and also introduced new features which would become staples for the future, though some of these features first introduced during Anniversary Celebrations on the Japanese Version are released earlier on the Global Version (such as Active Skills and Transformations). These celebrations occur on the Japanese Version from late January to early March, and on the Global Version from July 7th, ending early August. In recent years, the anniversaries have been divided into 3 parts, with Part 1 releasing various new Free to Play Friendly characters as well as the main Dokkan Festival Exclusives. Part 2 releases the Dokkan Awakenings from the Part 1 Free to Play characters, Extreme Z-Battle(s) for Dokkan Festival Exclusive Character(s) as well as a Top Legendary Summon. Part 3 is the end of the anniversary, releasing Extreme Z-Awakenings for all the Free to Play characters released during the anniversary, as well as an Extreme Z-Battle for Summonable LR(s). Each part also introduces various missions and Co-Op campaigns for players to participate in.

Worldwide/Download Celebrations[]

When the total amount of downloads reaches a certain amount, a celebration will be held to commemorate the milestone, which can be on various dates. However, in more recent times, the celebration dates will become more fixed to be held around end-August to early-September every year. It may also introduce some new mechanics. These celebrations are celebrated in both Global and JP at the same time.

Saiyan Day[]

Every year starting from 2017, a new Saiyan unit has been released on March 18th, which is widely regarded as Saiyan day because of the pronunciation (3/18, San-Ichi-Hajin, which sounds like Saiyan in Japanese). As of 2019, this has been held simultaneously on both the Global and Japanese Versions.

New Years Step-Up Banner[]

At every start of year for the whole of January, there will be a special Step-Up summon that guarantees a Category lead for the first 4 summons and an LR in the 5th step, for 3 rounds. This summons campaign started in 2019. It was also featured during the first release of the "Dokkan NOW" series on the Global Version

Tanabata/Thank You Festival[]

Around the end of June each year starting from 2018, the Japanese version will hold a Tanabata campaign, which will introduce Special Banners with new characters (from 2019) and events to celebrate this occasion. The global version will hold the Thank You Celebration from around the end of November to early of December as their equivalents.

Dragon Ball Heroes Collaboration

Each year in late November, Dokkan Battle has a Crossover Event with Dragon Ball Heroes to coincide with their most recent Dokkan Festival and the new Dragon Ball Heroes set. As of 2020, this has been held simultaneously on both the global and Japanese versions.

A commemorative card featuring these Sabiaman was released alongside this, and are playable though they are a gag card, having very low stats as well as a comical super attack animation, each one using an attack from either Goku, Gohan, Future Trunks and Vegeta, with them all self-destructing at the end.

Dragon Ball Z: Dolly Battle

For April Fools 2018, Dragon Ball Z: Dolly Battle was shown. The game was supposed to be a Dating Simulator, where the player could date various female characters from across all of Dragon Ball. A special commemorative card featuring all the females was given out to all players as compensation, though they aren't actually playable.

For April Fools 2019, a new "Retro Mode" was showcased. It promised old school music, graphics and artwork. Despite never actually being added, a retro theme stage was added and playable. The player would be treated to Retro Graphics and Music. From said event, a playable Goku and Vegeta are obtainable and feature heavily pixelated artworks and in-game character animations

For April Fools 2020, the developers announced a new Mode titled Dokkan Battle: Race. In this mode, various characters with various vehicles, from Kid Goku and Nimbus, Frieza, and his Pod Chair, and even Master Roshi and Turtle would participate in the mode. Each Character and vehicle were to have different stats including "Acceleration", "Speed", "Handling" and some gag ones including "Age". Alongside this, a "live" broadcast was put into the news detailing the race with comical events happening such as Frieza leaving to collect the Dragon Balls and Vegeta being disqualified for crashing his Saiyan Pod into Yamcha. Bulma (Youth) won the race and was released as a playable character alongside this.

Title Screen for Dokkan of the Dead

For April Fools 2021, Dokkan announced a new game mode called Dokkan of the Dead, this mode was supposed to be a First-Person Shooting Game, where the players would have to defeat a variety of Zombies, and the boss of the mode was Frieza. This mode was based on the part of Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, where past villains escape from hell and zombies begin roaming the streets. Each playable character had a super attack, which would make it easier to defeat enemies, but super attacks only had limited uses. Playable characters show was Great Saiyaman & Videl, Yamcha, Hercule, Super Saiyan Gotenks, Tien and Saibaman. Due to this being a joke, this game mode was never planned to release, however the Great Saiyaman & Videl card was released (which included a First-Person Super Attack), special music on the title and main screens, as well as Dokkan Awakenings and Extreme Z-Awakenings of the commemorative cards from April Fools 2019.

Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Exercise

For April Fools 2022, Dokkan Battle announced a new game titled Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Exercise. Its goal was to help players improve their overall fitness level and health through a very simple dance routine. Akin to the Guitar Hero games, the player would have to time their moves of either "Punch" "Step" or "Kick" to perform the workout. Playable characters included Goku (GT), Pan, Trunks (GT), Vegeta (GT), Bulla, Cell (GT) and Frieza (GT). Likewise, this was never supposed to be taken seriously and Dokkan Exercise never released. However, A Free-to-Play Friendly Para Para Brothers card released instead that players could add to their teams. The animation of Goku Trunks and Pan attacking in the Promo Video were made into the Para Para Brothers' Super Attack, the ParaPara Dance.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first game to feature Launch, Bacterian, King Chappa, Pasta, Jewel, Killa, Pintar, Hero (Possessed), Yakon, a Majin Soldier, a Red Ribbon Army Solider, Cymbal, Fangs the Vampire, Master Mutaito, Goku with angel wings, Vegeta (Angel), Frieza (Angel), King Cold (Angel), and Cell (Angel) as playable characters.
  • Those who aren't capable of flying use a jetpack similar to the one commonly used by Hercule in his game appearances, with the exceptions of Goku (Kid) who uses Flying Nimbus, and Pasta and Bongo who use Flying Discs.
    • Additionally, Frieza can also fight from his Hover Pod making it the first game where Frieza can do so.
    • In addition to Goku, Pure at Heart Chi-Chi (Youth) also uses the Flying Nimbus instead of the Jetpack she normally uses. To an Exciting Future Goku (Youth) & Arale Norimaki use the Flying Nimbus to fly along with the Gatchans.
    • Interestingly, Vampa Beetle use Flight when fought as a boss in Dokkan Battle.
  • Interestingly Staff Officer Black fights without his Battle Jacket which is not playable, nor does it appear as a non-playable enemy. As a result, he uses a jetpack to fly like other Red Ribbon Army characters such as Red Ribbon Soldiers, Murasaki, and General Blue.
  • A certain Super Saiyan Vegeta card sells for 1000 Baba Points instead of the regular 500 Baba Points for Super Rares.
  • There is a rumor in the community about the Japanese Version of Dokkan having rigged character pools per player. With certain players having a 0% chance to get a certain card. This is due to, what the developers say was a graphical glitch, players seeing the actual pull rates for certain cards when checking the card list of a banner, with certain more sought-after cards being shown to have a 0% pull rate regardless of the number of dragon stones spent. It is unknown if this truly was a graphical or if they accidentally revealed they do rig the summon pools. Regardless, all players of the Japanese Version were compensated 300 Dragon Stones for this, supposedly due to the Japanese Government threatening the development team for it.
    • This scandal has become a popular joke among the Global Version's Player base, as they constantly reply to anything posted by the official social media, referencing this event, by asking something along the lines of "When is Global gonna get the 300 Stones?", or asking for 300 Dragon Stones for any maintenance compensation, despite this happening a few years ago.
  • The Global version differs heavily from the Japanese version as they do not have characters from Dragon Ball Heroes available to draw (the cards are in the database but remain untranslated). It is assumed that it is because the game is not available elsewhere and another company runs the game. To compensate, the Global version had included two special events, one based on the Other World Tournament and another based on the Dragon Ball Super version of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, specifically the first few episodes involving Vegeta and Beerus. Namely the scenes where Bulma was slapped by Beerus and Vegeta attacking him because of this.
    • This was later proven false, as these events were later added to the Japanese version while the Dragon Ball Heroes characters remain exclusive to the Japanese version.
      • Despite the cards being moved over to the Japanese version, due to the cards being almost a year old, they were changed for the Japanese release, giving each version the same character, but with different abilities between the versions, with Japanese having the superior abilities.
    • As of August 12, 2019, all Dragon Ball Heroes characters released on the Global version under the Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission crossover event.
    • As of November 9, 2019, the final two Global Exclusive Cards have made their way over to the Japanese version, leaving no truly exclusive cards on either version (save for a few unreleased characters not yet brought over to the Global version).
  • Dokkan Battle was mentioned in Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha. The reincarnated Yamcha participated in the game and Oushou is a player of the game.
  • The random names you are allowed to choose during the tutorial are all names of the playable character avatars from Dragon Ball Heroes.
  • During the 200 million downloads celebration, both the Global and Japan versions released Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta and a new version of Omega Shenron as one of the first category leaders in the game. However, because the units in Global server were added before the introduction to categories, they were infamously released without their leader skill with it saying, "To Be Released". It has since been patched months later when Global received the category update.
  • There have been several cases where the Global version of Dokkan has received Dokkan Festival units and other characters before the Japanese side.
  • Unlike other Active Skills that are voiced, Broly's Active was not voiced upon released. This was likely due to Vic Mignogna's removal from Funimation, as the Japanese version was later provided a voice clip, and upon the release of INT Legendary Super Saiyan Broly for Saiyan Day, a voice clip from current Broly voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch was provided for the English version.
  • There have been 4 cases of characters releasing to coincide with the Dragon Ball Super anime.
  • The Story Event based upon Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks features a prologue level that depicts Future Goku's confrontation with Future Frieza and Future King Cold. As Future Trunks suspected, Future Goku arrives in time to save his friends thanks to Instant Transmission. It also provides an explanation why Future Bulma didn't tell Future Trunks about Instant Transmission as only Future Vegeta, Future Piccolo, Future Gohan, and Future Krillin approached King Cold's Spaceship from the ground implying she stayed with Future Tien, Future Chiaotzu, and Future Yamcha if she went to see Frieza like her main timeline counterpart did thus was not present when Goku explained Instant Transmission as he does so to Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin before facing and killing both Future Frieza and his father.
    • However, the Story Event contradicts the Bonus Story 1 chapter of Dragon Ball Super as it shows Future Piccolo knocked Future Gohan out after training to protect him, much like how Future Gohan would do with Future Trunks years later. Future Piccolo left Future Gohan behind and died fighting the Androids. This contradicts the special manga chapter which reveals that Future Gohan left his friends to join Future Bulma in finding the Dragon Balls before Piccolo was killed, only to learn the Pilaf Gang got to them first and made a wish that turned them back into infants.
    • This story event reveals when Future Vegeta chose to confront the Androids. Future Gohan requested that he help Vegeta, however Vegeta instead told him to "go help that woman" (referring to Bulma), and only engaged them after Future Gohan agreed to go bring Future Bulma and Future Trunks to safety.
  • During the Story Event: "New Enemies! Androids in Action", Future Trunks refers to Android 19 and Android 20 as the Androids that wreaked havoc in his timeline when warning Goku. This error originates from the original manga as Akira Toriyama originally intended for them to be the Androids that Future Trunks spoke of only developing Android 17 and Android 18 later on.
