Best Dragon Ball FighterZ Teams

[Master Roshi, DBFZ's newest fighter has a very technical and hard to master moveset, but once learned opponents better prepare for the Roshi beatdown.]

Dragon Ball FighterZ might just be the truest fighting game in Dragon Ball’s history. Currently in season 3 with over 20 characters added to the roster. Alongside, the ability to change every character on your team's assist moves, completely ramping up the number of great teams. Whether you play casual or competitive, every team must have some kind of composition. All the characters on your team must be able to work off of one another ultimately benefiting you in-game.

That’s why on this list we’re going to talk about the best team comps in Dragon Ball FighterZ (in no particular order). Also, the importance of the team comp and what each character role adds to their respective teams. 

What Makes Good Team Composition?

[ Proper team comp can make or break your experience when playing online. That goes for competitive and casual.]

Before we start with the list, let’s talk about what makes a good team comp. There are 3 roles in a team in DBZF, the Point character, the Mid character, and the Anchor character. Point is the character picked to go first in the team, they don’t have the greatest assists and are usually the first to die. Mid is the middle character with a good assist but lacks decent solo mix-ups. Then finally we have Anchor, the character that is last to die, they can make a big difference in whether you win or lose a match, a lifeline as you will. 

The most effective set-up for season 3 teams goes as follows: You’re going to want a character that can take advantage of 2 assists effectively mixing-up your opponent, being oppressive giving them no room for error and, can deal a lot of damage really fast. The next character you’re going to want is a character with a good assist, a character that can help extend the combos of your Point character, and is good at assisting in block strings or neutrals. The last character you’ll have to run with is one that compliments your team bringing them together, usually with a block string assist or neutral assist. Their assists usually require some kind of set-up which is why you pick your Point and Mid accordingly. 

I should also mention that any Mid character can play Point, and any Anchor character can play Mid, but Point characters can’t really move down due to their not great assists.
