In Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, you’ll come across some mighty foes from time to time, and Ultra Instinct Goku can be an absolute nightmare to deal with.
Without any doubt, the Ultra Instinct form in Goku is one of the strongest ones in the game, and it’s not fun when you’ve to defeat that. You’ll come across Ultra Instinct Goku in one of Jiren’s episode battle campaigns, and completing the task can be a considerable challenge. Thankfully, you can ease your life by understanding a few tips and tricks that will make your job a lot simpler.
When do you fight Ultra Instinct Goku in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero
You go up against Ultra Instinct Goku in the second last episode of Jiren’s Sparking episode. Titled “The Defeated,” this is the hardest fight I have come across so far. Before you can face up against Goku, you’ll need to defeat Android 17, SSGSS Vegeta, and Golden Frieza.
Incidentally, you’ll start your fight against Goku in his normal form. Right when you think about getting the better of him, Goku transforms into his Ultra Instinct form (yes, it’s as demoralizing as it sounds).
How to defeat Ultra Instinct Goku in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero
In Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, you can button-mash and defeat some opponents (at least in lower difficulty). Ultra Instinct Goku is not that opponent, and I haven’t seen anyone dodge close attacks better. What makes him a bigger threat is the amount of damage done by his simple Ki blasts. Keeping these factors in mind, here’s what you can do to defeat him with Jiren.
- Your Sparking meter is your key since you won’t want to try to do close attacks. But Goku won’t stand and let you charge up, which makes it important for you to learn Instant Transmitting. That will allow you to get behind his back and send him flying across the map. This will allow you the space to charge up your Ki meter.
- Use Jiren’s Meditation technique to restore the health that you’ve lost. But make sure not to spam the ability, as it’s pretty expensive. If you take substantial damage against Vegeta and company, restoring your health before facing Ultra Instinct Goku is a good idea. Do remember that the Meditation technique will not be available once Jiren transforms to his Full Power form.
Defeating Ultra Instinct Goku isn’t easy – while these tips will work, you’ll still need to use your skills to execute them. The chances of something going wrong are high, and you might find yourself in tough spots quite often. Feel free to restart if you feel that your plans/attempts to dodge damage early on have failed. That will save you time and energy, and you can avoid repeating the mistakes as well.
