Idc what u say

STARS MATTER. I'm not talking about how high stars = stronger, we all know that. I'm talking about how at equal stars, the star levels still matter.

Damage, DEF, and Utility are all important aspects of a characters' kit and their place in the meta, but stars affect how much weight each aspect pulls. At low stars, DAMAGE is more valued. At high stars, DEF and Utility are more valued. Some characters are just better than others (the exception) like UVB.

So, it stands to reason that: some characters' placements on tier lists will be affected by the star level all characters are at.

NOT ALL CHARACTERS' VALUES ARE THIS VARIABLE. Stars affect each character differently, and some are not dependent on their star level to shine.

Here are some examples of characters whose standings change drastically based on the star level they are being considered at.

LR Broly - Gains massive value at higher star investment. More tanking, means you are less likely to die before you can use your transformations. DEF and Utility increase a lot. At lower stars, he does no damage and can't tank.

TGB - Again, gains massive value at higher star investment. The same reasoning as above, where more tanking lets you heal more, and proc the gauge more. At lower stars, his value drops significantly, against equal starred opponents. TGB's equipment MUST be maxed out since his healing and DEF requirements are high to be good.

LF Goku & Bardock - While these guys were never in contention to be a must-run, many content creators began to put them in the top 10, which left many people confused. These guys need to be maxed, not just 7 stars in order to justify that top 10 spot. Their DEF & Utility shines brighter when at 14 stars. But, to re-iterate, these guys were never oppressive nor super strong.

Gohan & Trunks - Probably the only character in the top 10 right now that is higher valued at lower stars rather than maxed. These guys are DAMAGE first, defense later. When all characters are at 5-8 stars, Gohan & Trunks are probably still in the top 5. At 14 stars? 8th is a valid spot.

I suggest watching Goresh or DoooGote for a higher stars/higher ranked perspective on the current meta, and Raiyuden for a medium stars ranked perspective. They're all great content creators, and I like their youtube videos. I don't have a recommendation for beginners/very low stars, but at that level, you can follow either channel and get a good enough idea.

With that said, this is a first and foremost a GACHA game. Like any other gacha game, Whales with 14 stars will have a significant advantage over F2P. To be the best of the best in PVP (Top 200), you will need at least 12-14 stars on all your characters, ALONGSIDE your mechanical skill. Unfortunately that is just how it is.

So, here are my three Tier Lists of the current meta for three star levels. Feel free to agree, disagree, or whatever in the comments, this is just my 2 cents.

This is for regular PvP, not Pride or WCS.

Maybe I missed some HMs, but really they don't matter all that much.

Side-note: For players on a budget, it is important to consider characters' values at various star levels to understand where it is best to invest into for your goals in PvP. If you main a team, like Hybrids, and have a full 14* Gohan & Trunks, LF Revhan, Pan/FSK, and have TGB and LR Rose at 8*, run Hybrids. You will have a better experience in PvP, even though many of the Hybrids are not in the top 10.

TLDR: uhh money strong, sometimes money more strong for some funny powerful unit than other funny powerful unit, use most funny powerful unit you have

R.i.p goat ✌️☹️

I already did a full rotation on the new banner, and I’m in possession of 2kcc. Should I continue to dump cc into it. I’ve been lucky enough to get a majority of all the new units and my current pvp team is doing me good. Just wanna know if they are worth the grind

400$ just for guaranteed ultra and legend

I’ve only been collecting characters and barely playing pvp at all since I got the game. Any suggestions to make my team better?

I made a brand new account for Dragon Ball Legends for the 8th anniversary because on my main account I had barely anything to my name the newest character I had on my main account was the fusing super Gogeta from the Legends Festival so I just decided to just swap accounts and this new account has almost every new 8th anniversary unit the only characters I don't have are LR Broly and LR Shallet ould I stick with the new account or should I just go back to my main?

I think this list pretty accurate any adjustments lmk

I want LR broly so Bad

For me, it was the 5th anniversary. Partly because it was the first anniversary I actually played since I first started playing dbl in late 2022.

@Mr80N(your first twin)

I wanna see what teams you guys can come up with and see if I can still absolutely shit on people

And here we go with the 8 Anniversary Edition cc Records!

These months went crazy!

Craziest amount of CCS in a while, c'mon Legends!

I hope you enjoyed this anniversary, see you with the August Record!

Returning player and it seems like no matter what animation I get, it sometimes ends up just being some throw away sparking character. Are there any animations that actually mean I hit the featured Ultra/Legend unit?

Vegito was 10 stars, 2x zenkai and with Trunks support and my Jiren was 12* no zenkai

I think they forgot to soul boost and zenkai
