Health
Health is your most valuable resource, being indicated by the large gauge at the top of your screen as well as the six arrows above as shown in this image:
Each bar of health represents 10000 units of health and each arrow represents a bar in reserve, so 50000 (five bars) for example is represented by four arrows and one full bar.
Health can be drained either by performing an Emergency Blaster Wave or by taking damage from an opponent. Health can also be recovered during a match using the following methods:
- Using Health Restoring B1s
- Great Ape Kid Goku - Sleep
- Goten - Sleep
- Yajirobe - Senzu
- Grandpa Gohan - Sleep
- Frieza Soldier - Sleep
- Majin Buu - Sleep
- Super Buu - Rebirth
- Super Buu (Gotenks) - Rebirth
- Kid Buu - Sleep
- Meta-Cooler - Rebirth
- Arale - Excited!
- Using certain transformations
- Using a "Drain Life" B2/UB
- Using a Health Draining Throw
Health can also be passively regenerated by in-active characters during team battles at a rate of 100 health per second. This method of health recovery is the only method that is not capable of recovering an arrow. This limitation can be bypassed in a way, as an example, if you have a character that can recover health by throwing, transforming, or a B1, and your health goes under 30000, then you can make your way back into the 30000s via any of the previously mentioned methods and tag out afterwards to regenerate all the way back up to the base of 40000. Lower health decreases your safety as well, as the lower your health gets, the slower you can recover from a knockdown. Lowered health also makes the vanishing window smaller, meaning vanishing an attack requires more accuracy in your timing.
Ki
Ki is the easiest resource to manage, indicated by the five bar gauge shown in the image below:
Ki can be drained in quite a few ways, listed here:
- Ki Blasting
- Dragon Dashing
- Dragon A/Descending
- Free Dragon Dashing
- Z-Burst Dashing
- Blast 2s
- Ultimate Blasts
- Being hit by a Ki Draining Throw
- Using a Quick Recovery
- Using an Auto-Counter
As well as recovered by:
- Charging Ki
- Allowing your character to recover to their Base Ki Level
- Being an Android type character
- Using a Ki Draining Throw
- Using a Ki Restoring Transformation
- Using a Ki Restoring Blast 1
- Landing all melee attacks except for
- Rush Ki Wave
- Rush In Attack
- Rush Finish
- Hyper Smash
- Auto-Counter
- Z-Counter
- Throw
- Giant Throw
- Delta Storm
- Blaster Wave Combo
- Rolling Hurricane
- Burst Meteor
- Delta Storm
- Tri-Attack
- Lightning Attack (
in [Dragon Smash]
Ki management is an important factor during gameplay, as it's required for using many of your best offensive, defensive, and movement techniques in the game, making it a required resource for gameplay as a whole. This is (much like health) recovered by in-active characters during team battles at a rate of around 0.043 Ki Bars per second (0.043 KiB/s).
Blast Stock
Blast Stock is indicated both by a number and gauge, as shown below:
The number represents the amount of Blast Stock, with the gauge to the right of it showing how close you are to regenerating a Blast Stock. Blast Stock can only be used or drained in two ways, those being using a Blast 1, or activating Max Power Mode. Blast Stocks can be regenerated either by allowing them to be regenerated passively or by properly blocking an Up or Down directed Full Power (Level 3) Smash Attack.
Max Power Mode
Max Power Mode (often abbreviated to MPM) is a universal mechanic, being activated by charging while both having a full Ki gauge and at least one Blast Stock, indicated with a blue gauge that overlays the Ki gauge. Non-android characters will have a small explosion around them upon activation of Max Power Mode which can dissipate Blast 2s/Ultimate Blasts as well as stopping the opponent from approaching for a short period. Max Power Mode unlocks multiple new options to the user, which are as such:
