Dragon Ball Sparking!

In Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, players can unlock an impressive total of 182 playable characters and gain access to power-up capsules. These capsules enhance fighters by granting them unique special abilities that make them even more powerful in combat.

If you’re new to the game or still finding your way around, the idea of power-up capsules may be a bit confusing. This guide will explain how to obtain these items, how to equip them on your characters, and highlight the best capsules in the game. Let’s get started!

Top Power-Up Capsules

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero offers a wide range of power-up capsules, each providing different enhancements. However, each character can only use a limited number of these capsules, leading to the question: which ones are the best?

Here are some of the most effective power-up capsules available:

• Combo King: Increases damage from consecutive combo attacks.
• Strong Style: Extends the duration of Sparking! mode.
• Dragon Spirit: Enhances the recovery rate of the skill meter.
• Rising Tension: Gradually restores Ki during fights after a certain time.
• Dende’s Healing: Recovers health slowly during battle after some time.
• Miracle Master: Automatically dodges attacks while on the ground (except for Ki Barrage).
• Dragon Frenzy: Increases the likelihood of stunning the opponent during a frenzied attack.
• Ki Burst Charge: Slightly shortens the charge time for Ki Barrage attacks.
• Super Warrior: Boosts the power of frenzied attacks while in Sparking! mode.
• Energy Saver: Reduces the Ki cost for frenzied Ki Barrage and Ki Burst attacks.
• Master Roshi’s Training: Provides a minor increase to maximum health.
• Dragon Aura: Improves the ability to stun opponents.
• Unleashed Hidden Power: Starts battles with an additional Ki indicator.
• Super Transformation: Lowers the skill requirement for fusions and transformations (cannot reduce to 0).

As you progress and level up your characters, you can unlock upgraded versions of certain power-up capsules, which will be marked with additional stars next to their icons. It’s always advisable to opt for these upgraded versions over their lower-level counterparts, so make sure to collect them.

How to Acquire Power-Up Capsules

The primary way to get new power-up capsules in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is through purchasing them in the in-game shop. As you level up, you’ll find more power-up capsules available for acquisition using in-game currency.

You can also unlock new power-up capsules by completing missions or receiving them as rewards for finishing Sparking episodes in story mode.

Another option for obtaining certain power-up capsules is through dragon summons, where you can request specific items from Sūper Shenron or Porunga. Regardless, the main method remains purchasing them in the shop.

Equipping and Utilizing Power-Up Capsules

If you’re new to Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, you might not know how to equip power-up capsules on your characters. Keep in mind that this can only be done in the “Combat” and “World Tournament” modes, as it’s not available during episode battles.

Here’s how to equip power-up capsules:

• Go to the main menu and select “Store and Customization”.
• Choose the “Customization” option.
• Select the character you want to equip with power-up capsules.
• In their customization menu, fill the available slots for power-up capsules (up to a maximum of 7).
• Once done, exit the menu, and the game will automatically save your changes.

That’s all there is to it! The next time you use your character in a match or tournament, they will have the equipped power-up capsules active. These capsules work as passive items, meaning you don’t need to activate them during combat; their effects will take place as soon as the battle starts.

Finally, remember that you can also access each character’s customization menu from the fighter selection screen just before a match, allowing for last-minute adjustments to their items or outfits.
