Released by Bandai Namco, Xenoverse 2 is an action RPG based on the Dragon Ball universe . Besides allowing players to relive iconic battles, the title offers the creation and evolution of original characters, known as CaCs (Create-a-Character). Among the various forms that can be unlocked, Super Saiyan God stands out both for its impact on attributes and its faithfulness to the original series' content.

What is the Super Saiyan God form?

The Super Saiyan God transformation debuted in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, released in 2013. In the game, this form translates to an "Awoken Skill ," an ability that drastically alters the character's performance in combat. Once activated, it requires 300 Ki and offers a 60% increase in basic attack damage, as well as 12.5% ​​gains in ground, air, and running speed.

Visually, the character acquires an intense reddish aura and red hair, elements that allude to the divine power achieved by few Saiyans in the franchise.

How to obtain the Super Saiyan God ability

To unlock the transformation in the game, it is necessary to gather the seven Dragon Balls and make a specific wish to Shenlong: "I want to become a Super Saiyan God." This wish will only be available if the player is using a Saiyan character.

The Dragon Balls can be obtained by facing Time Patrollers in Conton City or at the end of specific side missions, such as "Side Mission 4". In this mission, after defeating Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien Shinhan, three Time Patrollers appear who, upon defeat, may grant a Dragon Ball as a reward. If they don't offer one, it's possible to restart the mission and try again.

Additional requirements: maximum friendship with instructors.

After fulfilling the wish, the game informs you that you need to reach the maximum friendship level with certain characters: Goku, Vegeta, Gohan (adult), Videl, Pan, and Gotenks. The friendship mechanic works based on interaction with these instructors, such as having them as mentors and choosing them as partners on missions.

The most effective way to increase this bond is to repeat the extra mission "The Hero Tapion Awakens," available in the "Infinite Story" area of ​​the Time Nest. With each repetition, the friendship bar increases. With dedication, it's possible to maximize friendship with a character in about six runs, starting from level zero.

Speak to Bills to activate the transformation.

After fulfilling all the prerequisites, the player must go to Orange Star Academy and locate the God of Destruction, Beerus . He will grant the Super Saiyan God ability to the selected character, provided they are a Saiyan.

Unlike Goku and Vegeta , who already appear transformed in some scenes, the Hunters have real attribute gains with the transformation. This fidelity to the franchise's structure is one of the game's hallmarks, although some design decisions allow for unconventional shortcuts.

The order of the transformations does not follow the chronology of the series.

Interestingly, unlocking the God form can happen even if the player hasn't unlocked other previous transformations, such as the regular Super Saiyan. This is because the wish to Shenlong becomes available regardless of progress in story mode. However, to advance the main narrative, it is mandatory to complete the time rift missions at Capsule Corporation .

This possibility breaks with the traditional logic of character progression, but offers the player the freedom to explore their preferred play style.

Super Saiyan God is just the beginning.

After mastering the God level, the next step is to unlock Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (SSGSS), also known as Super Saiyan Blue. This form is granted by Whis , mentor of Goku and Vegeta in the original work, to players who reach level 90 and maximize their friendship with him.

The evolved transformation, SSGSS (Evolved), requires level 95 and full friendship with Vegeta. Both require 500 Ki and offer bonuses to damage and resistance, although with penalties to energy recovery rate.

Transformation that makes a difference.

The Super Saiyan God form in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 represents a milestone in the player's journey. It demands planning, mastery of the mechanics, and strategic repetition of missions. Despite the long path, the impact on gameplay and faithfulness to the anime's narrative justify the effort.

For fans of the franchise and players seeking peak combat performance, unlocking this ability is an essential step towards godhood in the Xenoverse 2 universe.
