5 Best tips and combos to play in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a fighting game based on the famous Dragon Ball franchise. The Bandai Namco game is available for PS4, Xbox One and PC (Windows) and allows the player to form teams of three fighters to play. From there, you can switch between them, during the fight, for devastating strategies and combos. By the way, take a look at how to get the most out of the combos in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

1. Automatic Combos

Dragon Ball FighterZ has an automatic combos mode that is great for helping not-so-experienced players. In this way, it is possible to play in an equivalent way to the veterans, at least in relation to the amount of damage on the opponent.

Here’s how:

Press the Light Attack button repeatedly. You will make a complete chain of combos using normal attacks.
Press the Medium Attack button repeatedly. You will make a complete chain of combos using super attacks or specials.
Press the Heavy Attack button again after a heavier blow, and you will automatically activate a Super Dash. From there, just hook up a manual combo.

2. Basic Combos

To start a sequence of combos, just fit the first blow correctly. You can freely vary the way you want to start and end a chain of attacks. A sequence of light strokes is a good way to stop and counterattack your opponent’s slower moves, for example.

Do not limit yourself to just the ground to create combos. You can start a sequence of blows while suspended in the air, or even (in the air) shoot an opponent in a heavy attack to stun him and then manually start his combo.

It is even possible to create combos by crouching and then rising and continuing. Following the rules of combos (especially to fit all hits without being blocked) you can basically do anything.

Sequence of basic combos (examples):

Light Attack – Medium Attack – Heavy Attack – Super Dash – Light Attack – Medium Attack – Heavy Attack
Light Attack – Medium Attack – Heavy Attack – Super Dash – Light Attack – Medium Attack – Special – Special

3. Combos in the Air

As said before, automatic combos make life much easier (especially for beginners in the game). Now, if you are doing combos manually, you will need to perform all aerial and dashing movements on your own.

In the game, most moves allow you to jump immediately after using them. The technique is known as “Jump Cancel”. There are several advantages to this ability, including combos. See some:

After a Medium Crouching Attack, transition to a Standing Medium Attack, where you can use the Jump Cancel tactic.
If you can fit all of the blows, jump at the exact moment you hit the Medium Attack while standing.
Then, in the same timing, use a Medium Attack in the air.
You can also use Jump Cancel on this air strike and make a second jump to continue the combo. Pass to a Heavy Attack now to throw your opponent on the ground.

4. Disappear

The combo is proportionately more devastating as you keep it active longer. In addition to using Jump Cancel to spend more time striking the opponent, you can also use the vanish technique to disappear from the opponent’s field of vision and instantly reappear behind your back and continue the sequence of attacks.

To use this ability, you must have at least one Super Meter bar available. Enabling “disappear” varies a bit according to the character. Overall, use the ability after launching a Special or Heavy Attack. The idea is basically to teleport from the front to the back of the opponent.
