Basic controls to learn first
CheckThe game drops you into an open world immediately, so running through these in a safe area before your first fight saves a lot of frustration.
- E locks on to a target so your attacks track it automatically.
- Click to punch, C to charge ki, and V to fire a ki blast at range.
- R transforms you into a powered-up form; hold R to drop back out of it.
- F blocks incoming attacks.
- Double-tap Space to fly, hold Shift to move faster in the air, and hold Control to descend.
- After using a move, press Q to teleport behind your target.
Building your stats
TipsIf you are unsure where to put your points, figure out what is failing first. Raise one stat a little, test it on the same enemy, and adjust from there rather than dumping everything into one area.
- If your punches and melee attacks feel weak, raise Strength.
- If your ki blasts and energy moves do low damage, raise Ki Power.
- If you run out of ki too quickly, raise Ki Max
this is a separate stat from Ki Power.
- If you go down too fast, put points into Health.
- Ki Max and Ki Power do different things, so pick the one that matches your actual problem.
Events running now or coming soon. They have fixed dates, so check them first.

Following quests without getting stuck
StepCollection steps and dialogue are separate and easy to miss.
- Check the objective panel
after the kill count fills, look for any remaining collection or conversation steps before moving on.
- Read choices carefully
when a dialogue option asks you to hand something over or accept an item, read what you are giving and what you are getting first.
- Grind nearby if blocked
if a quest feels impossible, take easier nearby quests for XP and come back.
- Re-accept repeatable quests
any quest that can be run again needs to be manually picked up again after completion.
Unlocking and using transformations
StepGetting a transformation and being able to use it are not the same thing. Check the skill screen after every new unlock to make sure the form is slotted in before you head into a fight. Transforming for the first time earns you the Super Warrior badge.
- Check requirements
open the skill screen to confirm the level and unlock condition for any form you want.
- Equip it
slot the transformation into an active slot; acquiring it does not equip it automatically.
- Activate
press R to transform and hold R to revert.
- Watch your ki
transformations drain ki while active, so keep an eye on your remaining energy.
- Build mastery
the more you use a form, the lower its upkeep cost becomes, so stick with one form long enough to raise its mastery.
Dragon Soul, fusion, and mid-game milestones
TipsSeveral of the game's bigger systems open up in the mid-game. Each one has a clear trigger, and knowing what to expect stops you from wandering without direction.
- Using your Dragon Soul for the first time earns the Soul Awakening badge.
- Fusion requires a friend at a similar Power Level to yours; unlocking it together earns the Perfect Union badge.
- Reaching the final tier of any mentor earns The Final Lesson badge.
- Breaking the Level Cap once earns the Grindset Mindset badge.
- Completing the 'Pure Hearts
Across Dimension' quest earns Freed From The Rift, and winning a Beam Clash earns My Beam Is Bigger.
Ape Form and Dragon Ball unlocks
TipsThese are two of the bigger mid-game goals, and knowing how they unlock saves you from wandering the open world without a plan.
- Collect the Sayen Tail item to unlock the Ape Form transformation.
- You can also buy the Great Ape Form gamepass to unlock it directly.
- Dragon Balls spawn in the open world; one new Ball appears for every one thousand likes the game receives.
- Collect all seven Dragon Balls to access the Wish system. Making your first wish earns the Wish Granted badge.
- The Dragon Radar gamepass helps you locate Dragon Balls across the map.
- Redeem codes can reward Dragon Balls directly
enter any active code in the in-game code menu as soon as you find one, since each code works only once per account.
Co-op bonuses and why they matter
SummaryThe game stacks several bonuses for group play that solo players simply do not get. Even one friend in your session makes a meaningful difference.
- XP multiplier
up to five times normal experience when playing with friends.
- Wish cooldown
reduced by one hour when playing with friends.
- Zenkai Soul bonus
ten percent more Zenkai Souls earned when playing with friends.
When you keep losing fights
CheckThe open world lets you retreat and grind any time, so a tough fight is rarely a dead end. Run through this list before re-engaging.
- Check your level if the enemy is outpacing you, go fight easier targets for XP and come back.
- Fill your ki before the fight starts running out mid-fight stops your best moves cold.
- Shorten your attack strings throw a short combo, back off, and watch what the enemy does before going again.
- Swap to moves that are easier to land a weaker move that hits beats a strong move that misses.
- Turn off PVP in settings if other players are the problem the setting lets you focus on quests and enemies without interruption.
Gamepasses and the daily login system
TipsDragon Soul has a wide range of gamepasses. The daily login reward means you do not have to spend Robux to collect them, but it does require showing up regularly.
- Each daily login earns you a free gamepass.
- Dragon Radar helps you track down Dragon Balls.
- Custom Colors and Drip are cosmetic options.
- The Brave Bundle, Brawlz Bundle, GBlack Bundle, and Demon Curse are additional gamepasses available in the game.
