With over 180 characters in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, it’s never easy to separate the best from the rest.
While your available roster is slightly limited at start, you’ll quickly start to unlock new characters. This even includes characters like Goku (Mini), who comes with the Ultimate/Deluxe Edition of the game. Others like SSJ4 Gogeta can be unlocked by fulfilling certain gameplay conditions. That said, let’s take a look at how the current fighters can be ranked across different tiers.
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero tiers explained
The available rosters have all be ranked in the following tiers.
- God tier – These characters are literally gods, and you need to improve your game if you are playing badly with them
- S-tier – These characters might be slightly off the top, but they will still pack a punch over most of the names on the roster.
- A-tier – Great characters who have certain limitations.
- B-tier – Mediocre characters who have far too many limitations to be used competitively.
- C-tier – No, just no. (On a serious note, they’re good filler characters in DP Battles).
- D-tier – Avoid playing these characters, unless you have nobody else to play with.
