Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle Tier List ([nmf] [cy]) DBZ

Welcome to the most comprehensive Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle tier list you’ll find anywhere! As a dedicated Dokkan player who has spent countless hours analyzing every unit and testing them in the most challenging events, I’m excited to share my expertise with you.

The Dokkan Battle meta is constantly evolving with new units, Extreme Z-Awakenings (EZA), and balance changes that can shake up the entire tier list overnight. That’s why I’ve created this ultimate guide that goes beyond simple rankings to give you the deep insights you need to build the strongest teams possible.

Understanding the Tier List System

Before we jump into the rankings, it’s crucial to understand how units are evaluated in this tier list. The Dokkan Battle community has developed several tiering systems, but I’ve refined them to focus on what truly matters in the current meta.

S Tier	Elite units that define the meta	12 units	Best in class, optimal for most situations
A Tier	Excellent units with minor drawbacks	20 units	Strong performers, great team additions
B Tier	Solid filler units	35 units	Good until better options available
C Tier	Situational units with major drawbacks	50 units	Only use when no other options
Support Tier	Specialized support units	S: 2, A: 4, B: 8	Focus on buffs/healing over damage
Honorable Mentions	Niche units with specific uses	10 units	Powerful in specific scenarios

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even experienced players can fall into common traps that limit their success in Dokkan Battle. Let me share the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.

1. Over-Investing in Niche Units

The Mistake: Spending大量 resources on units that are only useful in very specific situations.

Why It’s a Problem:

These units rarely see use in most events
They don’t provide good value for their investment cost
They become obsolete quickly as new content is released

How to Avoid:

Prioritize units with broad utility and category coverage
Focus on units that perform well in multiple event types
Invest in units that work well with popular team compositions

2. Ignoring Defensive Capabilities

The Mistake: Focusing only on damage output and ignoring defensive stats.

Why It’s a Problem:

Glass cannon units die quickly in difficult events
High damage doesn’t matter if units can’t survive to attack
Defensive capabilities become more important in endgame content

How to Avoid:

Balance damage and defense when building teams
Invest in units with strong defensive capabilities
Don’t underestimate the value of healing and damage reduction

3. Poor Link Skill Management

The Mistake: Building teams without considering link skill compatibility.

Why It’s a Problem:

Units without shared link skills perform poorly
Ki management becomes difficult without proper link skills
Teams don’t reach their full potential without good link skill synergy

How to Avoid:

Plan teams around shared link skills
Prioritize units with popular and effective link skills
Test team compositions to ensure good link skill coverage

4. Neglecting Support Units

The Mistake: Focusing only on damage dealers and ignoring support units.

Why It’s a Problem:

Teams lack healing and buffing capabilities
Damage dealers can’t survive without proper support
Many difficult events require strong support to complete

How to Avoid:

Include at least one strong support unit in most teams
Invest in key support units like Piccolo Jr. and the Gamma units
Understand when support is more valuable than additional damage

5. Chasing Every New Unit

The Mistake: Trying to acquire every new unit that’s released.

Why It’s a Problem:

Spreads resources too thin across many units
Prevents proper investment in truly top-tier units
Leads to disappointment when new units don’t meet expectations

How to Avoid:

Be selective about which new units to pursue
Focus on units that fill specific needs in your roster
Save resources for units that offer significant improvements over what you have

FAQ

What is the best unit in Dokkan Battle right now?

Based on extensive testing and meta analysis, Incomparable Radiance Super Saiyan Goku + Super Saiyan Vegeta (Angel) is currently the best unit in Dokkan Battle. This unit excels in every category – incredible damage output, outstanding defensive capabilities, perfect leader skill coverage, and excellent category synergy. It performs at the highest level in all event types and team compositions, making it the most versatile and powerful unit available.

How often does the Dokkan Battle tier list change?

The Dokkan Battle tier list typically changes significantly every 2-3 months with new unit releases and major updates. However, minor shifts can occur more frequently with Extreme Z-Awakenings and balance adjustments. The most dramatic changes usually happen during anniversary celebrations (March/April) and December celebrations when multiple new LR units are released simultaneously.

Should I pull for every new LR unit?

No, you should be selective about which LR units to pursue. Focus on units that:

Fill gaps in your current roster
Have strong leader skills for categories you use
Introduce unique or powerful mechanics
Have broad category coverage for versatility

It’s better to have a few well-invested top-tier units than many poorly-invested mediocre units.

What makes a unit S tier vs A tier?

S tier units are distinguished by:

Perfect or near-perfect performance in all situations
No significant weaknesses or drawbacks
Ability to carry teams through the most difficult content
Versatility across different event types and team compositions

A tier units are still excellent but have:

Minor weaknesses that can be exploited
Situational performance that isn’t always optimal
Some restrictions on team building or usage
Performance that doesn’t quite reach S tier standards

How important are leader skills in tier list rankings?

Leader skills are extremely important in tier list rankings, often being the difference between S and A tier. A unit with an excellent leader skill can enable entire team strategies and make weaker units viable. However, leader skill quality is balanced against other factors like damage output, defensive capabilities, and versatility.

What’s the difference between LR and TUR units?

LR (Legendary Rare) units are the highest rarity in Dokkan Battle, typically featuring:

Higher base stats than other rarities
More powerful abilities and mechanics
Better leader skills
Unique artwork and animations

TUR (Transcended Ultra Rare) units are UR units that have been Dokkan awakened, allowing them to:

Reach higher levels (up to 120 or more)
Have higher super attack levels (up to 15 or more)
Access additional abilities through Extreme Z-Awakenings
Compete with LR units in some cases

How do I build a good team without top-tier units?

Building a good team without top-tier units requires:

Focusing on category synergy over individual unit power
Using strong support units to boost weaker damage dealers
Taking advantage of type advantages and enemy weaknesses
Building teams around specific event requirements
Investing in units that work well together rather than individually

Many difficult events can be completed with well-built teams of A and B tier units if they have good synergy and proper support.

What’s the best way to invest resources in units?

The best resource investment strategy is:

Priority 1: S Tier LR units – these provide the biggest impact
Priority 2: S Tier TUR units – excellent value for investment cost
Priority 3: A Tier LR units – strong but not essential
Priority 4: A Tier TUR units – good but not priority

Always focus on units you actually use regularly and that fit into your preferred team compositions.

How do Extreme Z-Awakenings affect the tier list?

Extreme Z-Awakenings (EZA) can significantly affect the tier list by:

Dramatically improving unit performance and capabilities
Adding new mechanics or abilities to existing units
Making previously mediocre units competitive
Sometimes elevating units to higher tier positions

However, EZAs rarely make units jump multiple tiers – they typically improve units within their existing tier or elevate them by one tier at most.

What’s the most underrated unit in the current meta?

Based on current performance and community perception, Death Match for World Domination Piccolo Jr. is often underrated. This TUR unit performs at S tier level with incredible defensive capabilities, strong healing, and excellent leader skill coverage. Many players overlook TUR units in favor of LR units, but Piccolo Jr. can outperform many LR units in the right situations.
