Which Units to Choose in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle? Here’s the Best Team to Play!

In 2025, Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle continues to evolve with new units and mechanics, making team-building more strategic than ever. To optimize your performance, it’s not just about selecting the strongest characters—you need to focus on the right synergies to maximize their potential in battle.

The first key element is choosing the right leader. Prioritize a character with a leader skill covering a wide range of categories or, ideally, an "all categories" bonus. This will give you valuable flexibility when assembling your team. Also, select a friend leader that complements your setup to maximize your bonuses.

Next, you need to organize your battle duos. In Dokkan Battle, two main duos rotate every two turns, while the other three characters appear less frequently. The goal is to create two optimal pairs that work well together. Some of the best combinations in 2025 include Ultra Instinct Goku & Ultra Ego Vegeta, Beast Gohan & Orange Piccolo, or Goku & Vegeta Fusion.

A well-built team balances offense, defense, and support. It’s crucial to include powerful attackers, tanks that can absorb damage, and support units that enhance the team. For characters that appear only once every three turns (the "floaters"), prioritize supports, Ki changers, or units with multiple links to improve team cohesion.

As of January 2025, certain teams dominate the meta, such as the "Fusion" team, which leverages the power of Saiyan fusions, the "Universe Survival" team, centered on Tournament of Power fighters, and the "Goku’s Family" team, featuring the most powerful versions of the hero and his relatives.

To fine-tune your team, use tools like DokkanBattleBuilder to visualize link compatibilities. Don’t hesitate to test different compositions and adjust your lineup depending on the game mode, whether it’s classic events or the toughest challenges like Super Battle Road.
