TIER LIST of Dragon Ball Sparking!

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, often referred to as Budokai Tenkaichi 4, has recently been released, showcasing a comprehensive selection of characters. This game gathers an extensive array of beloved fighters from the franchise, delivering an exciting experience. Naturally, players are curious about which characters stand out as the most powerful and which ones fall short right from the beginning.

Interestingly, the character roster isn’t perfectly balanced. Players will notice that some characters are significantly stronger while others are less effective, a reflection of their unique skills and characteristics, much like the original manga and anime. In this article, we’ll present the official tier list to help you grasp which fighters are top contenders and which ones lag behind in this edition.

What Are PD Points?

Before exploring the tier list of characters in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, it’s important to understand what PD points represent, as they form the foundation for this ranking system.

  • PD stands for “Destruction Points”.
  • These points distinguish the power levels among characters.
  • Each character has a PD cost assigned for use in online matches.
  • PD points are rated from 1 to 10, with 1 being the least powerful and 10 the most powerful.

For instance, characters like Whis and Vegetto, Super Saiyan Blue have a PD cost of 10, marking them as top-tier fighters in the game. Conversely, characters such as Videl, Spopovich, and Yajirobai boast a PD cost of only 2, categorizing them as some of the least formidable fighters available.

In online PD battles, players can assemble their teams with a maximum of 15 PD points. Thus, PD points are not the only measure of strength in team play; one player might opt for a few high-PD characters, while their opponent could select multiple lower-PD characters, creating a balanced competition based on the total PD available.

However, in one-on-one matches, PD points give a clearer picture of each character’s individual strength. The game developers have categorized the characters accordingly, eliminating the need for hypothetical charts often found in other games.

While player skill is crucial, examining the PD tier list can offer valuable insights.
