Villanous Enemies

Learn how to defeat the optional boss Mira in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Get tips on his moves like Dark Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb.

Alright, so you've made it to the post-game and you're looking to take on some tougher challenges. Mira is one of those optional bosses you'll find scattered around. He's not too different from a lot of the fights you've already had, honestly, and he even uses a lot of moves you'll recognize from Goku!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Mira has a lot of HP, so be prepared for a longer fight.
• He uses many moves similar to Goku's, so you should be familiar with their tells.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Standard Attacks
   Mira will start with moves like Dark Kamehameha (he often does it twice in a row, so watch out!), Sonic Blow (a quick melee strike), and Android Punch (a medium-range shockwave punch). He also uses Finish Breaker, which is like a Consecutive Energy Blast.
2. Phase 2: Surge Mode
   Mira will enter a Surge Mode. He doesn't gain any new moves here, but he'll start chaining his Super Attacks together much faster. While you know the individual moves, the rapid combinations can be dangerous.
3. Phase 3: Spirit Bomb!
   His most dangerous attack is the Spirit Bomb. It hits multiple times, so don't assume you're safe just because you dodged or blocked the first hit. This attack can also be a bit blinding, making it harder to react to follow-up attacks.

Strategy:

• When Mira uses Dark Kamehameha, wait for the second blast before countering.
• Be extra careful with the Spirit Bomb. Keep dodging until it's completely finished, as subsequent hits can still catch you.
• In Surge Mode, focus on dodging and defending. Try to identify the attack patterns within the combos.
• The main challenge here is his high HP pool. Keep at it, use your strongest attacks, and don't get discouraged by the length of the fight.

• After beating Mira, he and Towa will leave, and the Villainous Enemies in the various regions will respawn. They'll be at a much higher level than before, allowing for repeatable, challenging fights.
