How to Transform and use Fusion in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO

Transforming and Fusing is a great way to up the tempo of any fight in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO—and your character’s animations going beyond their current power level is a treat to see.

Not every character can Transform or Fuse, though; even if you can, knowing how to do it is tricky if you haven’t gone through the training options or skipped through a tutorial in the story. So, let’s show you what you need to do to make the most of the feature.

Fusing and Transforming might not seem important most of the time. After all, you can pick an already Fused or Transformed character on the character select screen. But if you are trying to shave off some DP from your overall team, it’s a way to get around getting a higher DP character in your squad by Transforming or Fusing them mid-fight instead.

Saiyans aren’t the only thing that can Transform in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO. Characters like Frieza and Cooler, as well as most of the movie villains, and additional characters like Jiren and Toppo, also have additional in-game forms.

You can see if a character can Transform when selecting them on the character select screen. Above their Technique Information, at the bottom right of the hud, you should see all the available Transformations that characters can use. Some might have one, while others, like Vegeta and Goku, could have several.

So long as a character has a Transformation option when you go into a battle, you’ll need to start building up your Skill Counter by a couple of levels, either by fighting or getting hit. After a while, you should have enough Skill Counter points to Transform. You need around one or two for something like a Super Saiyan, but you might need even more than that to go to Super Saiyan Blue.

You can check to see if you have enough points to Transform into something by looking under the fighter’s head beside the Skill Counter bar. Under your character, a flashing blue arrow pointing up appears if you have enough points to Transform.

Now that you can Transform, you need to hold up on the controller’s D-Pad to bring up a sub-menu that showcases all the different forms you can turn into. You can press L1/R1 or LB/RB to switch pages if you have multiple. Hit the corresponding button associated with the Transformation you want to turn into, and your character should Transform on the spot.

You should then be in that Transformation for the remainder of the battle.

How to Fuse characters in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO

Fusion works similarly to Transformation, but you need several instead of one character.

In the character select screen, when coming up with a team, you must choose characters with Fusions you can use in-game. This is parings like Goku and Vegeta, Trunks and Goten, Goku Black and Zamasu, etc.

This is where it gets confusing. Not every version of Goku and Vegeta, for example, can Fuse. You need to find the correct versions of both characters for Fusion to be an option, such as Goku and Vegeta from the end of Z, over their early forms.

You need to build up the Skill Counter meter again and, like with Transformations, hold up on the D-Pad. You’ll have a list of both Transformations and Fusions to choose from. You’ll need to press R1/L1 or LB/RB on your controller to cycle over to Fusions instead of Transformations to pick the one you want.

You’ll get a small animation, and your newly Fused character will be ready to fight.
