Races

Discover the unique strengths and weaknesses of each race in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Learn how Male and Female Saiyans, Humans, Namekians, Majins, and Frieza race characters differ to pick the best fit for your playstyle.

Alright, let's talk about picking your character's race in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. This is a pretty big decision because each race has its own set of perks and drawbacks that can really shape how you play. Think of it like choosing your starting class in an RPG – it sets the foundation for your fighter.

Here's a breakdown of what each race brings to the table:

• Majin race: These guys are tough cookies, boasting high defense. They have a bit of a slow stamina recovery, but get a defense boost when their stamina is full.
  • Male Majin: They have high health and can take a beating, with their damage reduction being particularly effective until their stamina is depleted.
  • Female Majin: They have less health than their male counterparts but benefit from a shorter stamina break duration, meaning they recover from being stunned faster.
• Saiyan race: Known for their high attack power, Saiyans typically have lower health. Their attack power gets a boost when their HP is low, and they get even stronger when revived.
  • Male Saiyan: They excel in melee attacks, and their buffs tend to last longer. However, their Super Moves are a bit weaker compared to other races.
  • Female Saiyan: These Saiyans have better Ki and stamina recovery and also lower health. (Heads up: The in-game description might mention using Z assists more frequently, but that's a leftover from Xenoverse 1 and doesn't apply here, so don't worry about it.)
• Human race: Humans have pretty balanced stats for both offense and defense. Their Ki refills automatically, and their attack power increases significantly when their Ki is maxed out.
  • Male Human: They get a boost to their strike Super Attacks.
  • Female Human: These characters are stronger with Ki Blast Super Attacks.
• Namekian: Namekians have lower attack power but high health, and their stamina recovers quickly. A neat bonus is that items are more effective for them, and they even regenerate health when low.
• Frieza race: These characters are known for their fast movement and have low health. Their stamina increases while they're attacking, and their movement speed gets a boost as their health gets lower.

So, when you're creating your character, think about what kind of playstyle you prefer. Do you want to be a tanky Majin, a glass cannon Saiyan, a balanced Human, a regenerating Namekian, or a speedy Frieza race member? Each choice has its own unique advantages!
