Dragon Ball Legends

Legends includes elements of fighting and strategic card battling games. The player can control the characters by tapping the touch screen to make them attack and swiping it to move around the 3D environment. During the fights, players can use up to 3 characters, each of them has an element and depending on the opponent's element, their attacks can do more or less damage. Cards are automatically drawn from a deck, these allow to unleash combos of melee, ranged and special attacks. The amount of cards you get are dependent on your card draw speed, which affects how much cards you will get. Certain cards used by the player grant them Dragon Balls. After getting 7 of these, the player unlocks "Rising Rush" for their characters. This allows the character to unleash a super attack that is much more powerful than the typical combo attacks. Legends also has a gacha system allowing players to collect specific characters from the Dragon Ball series, although not from the yet-to-be-animated manga, there are 5 rarities and a sub-rarity; these are HERO, being the weakest and most common, EXTREME, being less common than HERO units, but still weak in gameplay; SPARKING, which are powerful but often overshadowed by LEGENDS LIMITED characters, as the latter rarity has units with better stats and have special finishing moves ("Legendary Finishes") if the player uses a specific attack to end the fight. Lastly are ULTRA characters which are the strongest characters, upon initial release, and tend to be meta-shattering. In order to collect these characters, one must summon them from their specified "banner." ULTRA characters can only be summoned on their specified banner, at a 0.350% drop rate, compared to LEGENDS LIMITED and LEGEND units which commonly have a 0.500% drop rate. On February 11, 2026, a new rarity titled LEGEND was introduced to the game. LEGEND was revealed four days prior at the "WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2025-2026" event, with the first of this rarity being Super Vegito. This was introduced to replace the LEGEND LIMITED rarity. LEGEND characters still have the same pull rates as their predecessor being 0.500%. The developers made this decision because the LEGENDS LIMITED rarity is still a form of the SPARKING rarity and they wanted to differentiate the two. Despite the fact that the LEGENDS LIMTED rarity is now discontinued, they are still present in the game and can be obtained via summons as a separate rarity. There are currently 28 ULTRA characters in the game, the first three being Super Saiyan Goku from the "Frieza Saga" of Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta from the "Namek saga" of Dragon Ball Z, and Omega Shenron from the "Shadow Dragon Saga" of Dragon Ball GT - but these three are not summonable and must instead be obtained by completing their respective events. The first summonable ULTRA was ULTRA Super Gogeta for the Legends Festival 2021 event.
