Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z Cards Guide

Introduction: Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z sees the return of the “Customize Character” feature. Cards and Card Slots are the way to modify characters to make them stronger and such for battle. Complete Missions to randomly receive Card Drops, these Cards you will then later have to buy with PP points that you in turn receive from playing the game. By collecting and equipping these ability cards, characters that would normally not be suited to battle against far deadlier foes, can be boosted up to become capable. Or such “weaker” characters can be given abilities to make their natural strengths more pronounced.

Watch this video introduction explaining how cards & the whole game works:

Note: Some Cards might seem overpowered, but each character only gets 2 Card Slots. Each character has 2 Special Slots & 1 Item Slot. There’s a large selection of Special and Item Cards to choose from, so pick and choose what works best for your play-style.

How to find missing Cards?: In-game the unlocked cards can be made available by saving up PP points to buy them with. For you to get all the rare cards, it is vital to your success that you buy the following 5 cards FIRST…

Card 1: “Bulma Lucky Girl” costs 77,777 PP. — Why buy it? It increases the chance of Rare Card Drops. Happy Hunting for those Rare Cards! How to unlock it is explained below*.
Card 2: “Android Cyborg Guard” costs 10,000 PP. — Buy 3 of these ASAP, as explained below**.
Card 3: “Yakkon Absorb Light” costs ????? PP. — Buy 3 of these ASAP, as explained below**.
Card 4: “Dr. Gero Energy Absorbation System A” costs 30,000 PP. — Why buy it? This will be your Melee’s best friend.
Card 5: “Android 19 Energy Absorbing System B” costs 30,000 PP. — Why buy it? This will be your Ki Blast’s best friend.

* In the premium collection, next to the weekly cards there is a thing called random collection. You put 500 PP in to get a random card, it could be item card, a bad card or an amazing card. Reader Mike mentions he got lucky by getting the Lucky Girl card on the 3rd attempt. — Or try doing (the higher) Missions with Z ranks to unlock the Lucky Girl card. — Lastly, watch out for the weekly cards as the Lucky Girl card may be one of them or at least that way you’ll get a very rare card.

** For your Supports you can choose 2 Android #18 and 1 Fat Buu, you can then equip these 3 Supports with Cyborg Guard (Card 2) & Yakkon Ki Absorb (Card 3) each. That way, when you start the Fight and immediately press either D-Pad Down (for Defend, Share Energy & Evade Attacks) or D-Pad Right (for Focus & Attack on the Closest Enemy) you’ll get almost endless energy throughout the entire match! (The D-Pad Down method comes recommended.)

– If you choose a Melee Fighting Type, have Cyborg Guard (Card 2) on you and the Dr. Gero card (Card 4), which hurts the enemy and drains them of their energy.
– If you choose a Ki Blast Type or Interference Type, have Cyborg Guard (Card 2) & Android 19 card (Card 5), which hurts the enemy and drains their energy,

Tip: To read the Cards and/or find out how many Card collectibles you’ve unlocked so far; From the Main Menu go to “Card Collection” and select the Card you’re looking to find out more about.

Does the game save each Cards you collect?: Yes, the game will automatically save the Cards you just collected if you picked up the Card at the end of a Mission. You don’t have to do anything else to save your collectibles progress once it’s shown on-screen.

Extra Bonus: Another reason to collect all cards is because that will unlock the “Card Complete” Silver Trophy on PS3 or PS Vita or the 30 Gamerscore Achievement on Xbox 360.

Hint: If you want to know which Broly cards & support character cards we recommend for him to beat the game, check out our “How To Unlock All Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z Characters” guide. — This will help you complete all 60 Missions with S rank or higher, which in turn will help you unlock all 70 characters and many cards.

Recommended Special Cards:

• Ultra Combination Crash: This card is a rare one, but it can be unlocked in the Premium Shop. It increase the AI of your CPU comerades about 1, and increase your Attack Power as well. A really good card, but remember, the CPU can only be brought up to 10. So if your CPU Characters all are already on Level 10, the AI increase won’t work anymore and you should put another card into it’s slot.

• Energy Absorption System A and B: This Cards can also be bought in the Premium Shop. Equipping EASA will absorb the enemys Ki and refill your own with it through Physically attacking target. EASB is the same, except that it drains Ki through Ki-based attacks, instead of Physical. Both of them might come in handy if you play a support role and running out of Ki.

• Potential Lv.3: This just increase your defense largely. plain and simple. If the enemys are depleting your health faster than any Android steals someones Ki, then this card might come in handy. it is not the best card, but the defense boost is noticeable and guarantee that you survive a little longer than usual.

• Fighters Pride: Increase all your stats by a small amount, without any drawbacks. Sure, it is not much, but I see me using this all the time, and it helped a lot. There are still better cards, but if you think none of the others suits your playstyle, this card comes in handy as filler!

• Saiyan Power: Increases all Stats after a knock down. Oh trust me, this thing is a beast! if you play with lots of weak characters, that gives you a lot of retrys, and also have good healers and people that can revive you, than this is will make any enemy scream in fear! Wouldn’t it be fun to see Vegetto being beaten by a Saibamen that came in like a wrecking Ball? I sure think it is fun.

• Dendes Miracle: Now, the “Dendes Miracle” Cards are special: There are a total of 7 different “Dendes Miracle” Cards, one for each Stat, and one for Items. It increas the amounf of Card Slots for a specific Stat by 1! So instead of 3 Slots for health, you can get 4, just for an example. There is also one Card that will give you one more item slot, effectively making you able to equip 2, instead of 1 Item Card. Like Fighters Pride, that can be a good filler but can also be used to power up an character even further! But remember: More than 5 Slots for each stat are not allowed.

Item Cards:

• Senzu Bean 1/2: A great card, that only cost 8000 DP and is practically a instant reviving extra retry! That is especially useful if you use many strong characters so that you have just a few lifes. This card revives you with half of your Maximum HP. But remember: it only works for you who equipped it, so if you have 0 retrys, and an CPU/other player dies, it will still be game over.

• Senzu Bean: Just the same as the 1/2 version, but it will revive you with FULL Health. Costs 30000 DP for ONE bean, but it is totally worth it, especially if you think that you get a lot of DP already form just one battle.
