Dragon Ball Legends mechanics

Tap an Arts Card to attack with a skill that correspond to the card's type. Tap multiple Arts Cards successively to chain attacks together in a combo.

Tap the screen at close range to unleash a Tap Attack. Tap Attacks are quick and can be executed up to three times in a row.

Tap the screen at mid range to Tackle. Tackles are quick attacks that close the distance between you and the enemy.

Tap the screen at long range to unleash a Tap Shot. Tap Shots are singular Ki projectiles that are effective at restricting your enemy's movements.

Tap the screen while performing a Quick Dash to execute a Quick Attack. This allows you to attack while closing the distance between you and your opponent and is an effective way to surprise anyone who might be hanging back too much.

*Quick Attacks that hit during a combo will inflict less damage than normal.

When the Ability Gauge is full, tap a character icon to use their Main Ability.

* Can only be used once per battle.

Some characters have Ultimate Skills. Use one by acquiring an Ultimate Technique card from a Main Ability's effect.

Slide your finger on the screen to move your character.

*Moving characters back will slightly reduce your Ki and Vanishing Gauge.

When not at long range, flick up to Boost and quickly close in on an opponent.

When at long range, flicking up will perform a Quick Dash, which will close the distance between you and your opponent instantly. You cannot take damage from Tap Shots while Quick Dashing.

*Flicking up after sidestepping or attacking with certain Arts will cause you to Boost, even at long range.

Flick down to backstep and get some distance.

Swipe left or right on the screen in time with the enemy's attack to avoid it using the Vanishing Step.

Using the Vanishing Step will deplete the Vanishing Gauge, but it recovers automatically over time.

Recovery is paused during certain actions, such as attacking.

The Vanishing Gauge will be restored to maximum value when you are hit by an enemy Arts attack or when you substitute characters.

* You will do a step without evasive effects if you don't have enough Vanishing Gauge.

Hold down on the screen to rapidly restore your Ki Gauge.

Tap an ally character icon to control them. A fixed amount of time is needed before you can switch characters again.

When you are caught in an enemy combo, tap an ally character icon to have the standby character switch in and take the attacks instead.

This allows you to get yourself out of tight spots, save characters you don't want to be defeated, or swap in characters with high defenses to reduce the damage taken.

Cover Change cannot be used against Tap Actions

Tap Actions are attacks that do not require Arts Cards or cost Ki. They are performed by tapping the screen.

There are two categories of Tap Actions.

Melee Tap Actions: Tap Attack, Tackle, Quick Attack

Ranged Tap Actions: Tap Shot

See "Attacks" in the help menu for more information on the strengths of each attack and how to use them.

This game is an action RPG with card commands.

Fight with up to 3 characters from your party of 6 to defeat all the enemies.

If the time runs out, you will lose regardless of how much health you have left.

*Certain Story Battles may have special victory conditions.

*When the time runs out in PvP mode, the player who dealt the most damage to the other is the winner.

Characters each have an Element.

When a character with an elemental advantage attacks, they will deal more damage.

If they have an elemental disadvantage, they will deal less damage.

*However, Elements will not deal reduced damage against DRK.

Basic Elements

• RED: strong against YEL, weak against BLU

• YEL: strong against PUR, weak against RED

• PUR: strong against GRN, weak against YEL

• GRN: strong against BLU, weak against PUR

• BLU: strong against RED, weak against GRN

Special Elements

• DRK: strong against all Basic and Superior Elements, weak against LGT

• LGT: strong against DRK, no weaknesses

With Reverse Element Factors, your favorable Elements will be treated as unfavorable, and your unfavorable Elements as favorable.

Characters who possess this ability effect will have a Reverse mark next to their Element icon.

E.g., if an "Element: RED" character's Element factors are reversed, they will be strong against BLU and weak against YEL.

*Reverse Element Factors only affects basic Elements. It has no effect on the DRK and LGT Elements.

When two characters with reversed Elements face each other, whether or not your opponent's Element factors are reversed has no effect, and only their base Element will be taken into account.

E.g., if an "Element: RED" character's Element factors are reversed, they will be strong against BLU & Reverse BLU, and weak against YEL & Reverse YEL.

"Superior Elements provide an even bigger damage boost compared to normal Elements when a character attacks with an elemental advantage. However, the amount of damage received from a disadvantaged Element is the same as normal Elements.

*Like with normal Elements, Superior Elements deal reduced damage when at an elemental disadvantage, except against DRK.

The relationship between the Elements is identical to that for normal Elements.

When text references a normal Element, such as for the target of an ability effect or in the equip conditions of Equipment, it will also apply to Superior Elements.

Superior Element Icons

• YEL+

• PUR+

When a battle member uses an Arts attack, there is a chance it will become a Heavy Attack and deal increased damage.

*Attacks from guest or enemy characters (excluding in Tournament of Power and Guild Battles) cannot become Heavy Attacks.

When a Heavy Attack occurs, there is a chance it will become a Super Heavy Attack and deal even more damage than a normal Heavy Attack.

*Heavy/Super Heavy Attacks will not occur in PvP.

Improving a character's Heavy Attack capabilities through Arts Boosting will increase the chances that Heavy and Super Heavy Attacks occur.

When controlling one of your own characters in battle, their Heavy Attack capabilities will be displayed at the bottom of each Arts Card.

*They will not be displayed in battles where Heavy and Super Heavy Attacks do not occur.

Heavy and Super Heavy Attacks will not occur for the following attacks:

• Rising Rush

• All-Out Rush

• Rising Rush Z

Some Stories will have Arts Boost Grade Requirements. If a given boost does not exceed a specified grade requirement, then the corresponding Arts will deal reduced damage.

*If a given boost does not meet multiple requirements, then only the strongest damage reduction effect will be applied.

*Guest characters do not need to meet Arts Boost Grade Requirements.

If a Story has Arts Boost Grade Requirements, they can be checked in the Story's details.

The affected Arts Boosts, required grades, and damage reduction vary depending on the Story.

The following attacks will be affected by Arts Boost Grade Requirements:

• Rising Rush

• All-Out Rush

• Rising Rush Z

Short, medium, and long distances exist, and different attacks reach different distances. Check Arts for details.

Ranged Attacks that show a Danger Zone by your feet cannot be evaded by Vanishing Steps. Move out of range to avoid them.

Dokabaki Impact occurs if equal power strikes collide. Tap to gain Ki and damage your enemy.
