  • Angry Goku (Blue, SP) – Slow starter but permanently increases damage later. He can also provide buffs to Saiyans and Super Saiyans when on the bench.
  • Super Saiyan Bardock (Blue, SP) – Solid attacker with reliable abilities. The recent Zenkai Awakening has significantly improved his viability.
  • Super Saiyan 3 Goku (Purple, SP) – Balanced character with great offense and defense. The Zenkai Awakening makes him a perfect fit for the Saiyans team.
  • EX Raditz (Blue, EX) – Ideal as a bench member in the Saiyans team due to his healing abilities.
  • Super Gogeta (Red, SP) – Deals a lot more damage following the Zenkai Awakening. He can be used in a wide range of teams including Saiyans.
  • Super Saiyan Vegeta (Purple, SP) – Stands out because of his Defense. Make sure to use HP equipment to get the desired damage buffs.

Android 17 and Android 18, Golden Frieza, Final Form Cooler, and Mecha Frieza are great for offense.

The Lineage of Evil is the epitome of aggressive teams in Dragon Ball Legends as you’ll able to deal tremendous damage to any opponent effortlessly. In terms of offense, it’s unlikely that you’ll find a better team setup than Lineage of Evil and luckily, other meta teams like Super Saiyans aren’t that effective against it.

  • Android 17 and Android 18 (Red, SP) – They can make the most of the overpowered Type Switch mechanic and are two of the best offensive characters in the game.
  • Golden Frieza (Green, SP) – One of the best damage dealers in the entire game.
  • Final Form Cooler (Red, SP) – Do not expect significant defense but the unique offensive abilities are enough to compensate for it.
  • Mecha Frieza (Purple, SP) – Easily an S-tier unit with excellent damage buffs.

Powerful Opponents

Powerful Opponents in Dragon Ball Legends is one of the most terrifying matchups for any opponent you’ll face. It is as hard as it gets to prepare a good defense against this team. Even with Hybrid Saiyans and Saiyans, one cannot expect to breeze through Powerful Opponents.

Here are our top picks for Powerful Opponents:

  • Perfect Cell (Purple, SP) – Benefits greatly from the anti-Hybrid Saiyan and anti-revival abilities.
  • Final Form Frieza: Full Power (Blue, SP) – From explosive burst damage to Endurance abilities, he is the perfect package that won’t disappoint you in any aspect.
  • Final Form Cooler (Blue, SP)
  • Hero Tapion (SP, Yellow) – Not the best for damage but compensates for it with eminent support abilities.

Fusion Warriors

Fusion Warriors is the best team for early advantages in Dragon Ball Legends.

The Fusion Warriors team in Dragon Ball Legends is one of the best because of the advantages it provides you early on in battle. The members can deal massive damage and at the same time, they boast abilities that make a ton of enemy attacks ineffective.

Here are our top picks for a Fusion Warriors team:

  • Super Saiyan Gohan (Yellow, SP) – Not overpowering in any way, but helps with the offense, defense, and support equally. He has a wide range of uses and is a valuable member of any team due to his flexible abilities.
  • Super Gogeta (Blue, UL) – One of the best damage dealers once a team member falls. Also, he is the only fighter who can use the Ultimate Arts card twice.
  • Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta (Green, SP) – One of the hardest-hitting characters ever with abilities that counter elemental disadvantages.
  • Super Vegito (Yellow, UL) – The offensive stats of this character are enough to eliminate any opponent, literally.

God Ki

God Ki: The team with outrageous offense and Beerus as the finisher.

The God Ki team in Dragon Ball Legends is one of the best because of its outrageous offense which also compensates for its wobbly defense abilities.

With Whis on this team, the remaining attackers like Android 17 and Android 18 dish out unreal damage that is a problem for any opponent. Some of the best characters in the game like Super Gogeta and SSB Vegeta can be a part of the God Ki lineup which certainly adds to its viability.

Lastly, with Beerus, you have a perfect finisher that ignores Endurance and Revive.

Our best picks for the God Ki lineup include:

  • Android 17 and Android 18 (Red, SP)
  • Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta (Green, SP) – A well-balanced unit with impressive offense, defense, and support abilities.
  • Whis (Purple, SP) – A core member of the God Ki lineup that helps in buffing the party members. The Obscure ability is undoubtedly brilliant for confusing your opponents.
  • God of Destruction Beerus (Yellow, EX) – Outstanding damage potential but do not expect similar prowess in defense.
  • Super Gogeta (Blue, UL)

Future

For a team with perfect balance and meta fighters go with Future.

The Future team in Dragon Ball Legends is one of the best, thanks to its perfect balance between offense as well as defense. Even though you should not expect a one-sided victory with this team, you can definitely turn the tide with the right characters as the battle goes on.

The best meta fighters in Dragon Ball Legends are a part of the Future team, and here are our top picks:

  • Android 17 & Android 18 (Red, SP)
  • Super Saiyan Trunks (Green, SP) – Extremely useful for gaining the upper hand in early battle, thanks to his brilliant offense. Even though the defense isn’t as great, the healing abilities help him sustain for longer durations.
  • LL Super Saiyan Trunks (Adult, Blue, SP) – Becomes one of the strongest fighters once the gauge is filled, and doing so isn’t a struggle. He boasts the strongest Ultimate Arts in the game and even excels in defense.
  • Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta (Green, SP)
