Pure Pair

Learn how to defeat the revived Kid Buu in the Pure Pair substory for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Get tips on his attack patterns and strategies for victory.

Alright, so you want to take on the revived Kid Buu in the Pure Pair substory? You'll need to be playing as Goku for this one, and make sure you've finished up the 'Good Ol' Goku' substory first. Once that's done, head over to the Far Southern Islands Area, and you'll find this one pops up.

Basically, Goku's looking for a good fight, asks Baba to find someone strong from the Other World, and she ends up setting up a match with Kid Buu. To keep things from getting out of hand, they're fighting in the Land of the Kais. Don't worry, it's not as chaotic as the last time you fought him in the main story. He's actually got a pretty predictable pattern this time around.

Strategy:

• Kid Buu's opening move is almost always Calamity Blaster. It's a melee attack, and if it connects, it leads into a nasty cinematic finisher, so try to dodge this one.
• After that, get ready for not one, but two Kamehamehas back-to-back.
• Next up is the Rolling Attack. He'll do six of these in a row unless one actually hits you, then he'll stop.
• He'll loop back to using Kamehamehas again, and then he'll start his whole sequence over from the top.
• Kid Buu might throw in a surprise melee combo. Whatever you do, don't block this one! He'll break your guard if you try.
• Here's a great tip: Kid Buu uses a lot of beam attacks. You can time your own beam attacks to trigger a beam struggle. If you nail the timing, you can just mash the button for some easy damage.
