Perhaps one of the more peculiar things about Dragon Ball Legends is its RPG component, which allows players to not only improve specific skill areas but also use Equipment to enhance the abilities of their favorite Dragon Ball Zcharacters. With hundreds of options available though, figuring out which is the best equipment in Dragon Ball Legends is going to require a fair amount of research.

When the likes of God of Destruction Beerus were introduced in the modern Dragon Ball landscape, fans know Goku and the gang were approaching the big leagues. With Beerus being more than capable of destroying worlds on a whim, it’s reasonable for players of Dragon Ball Legends to want him on their team.

And for God Ki characters, The tide of this battle is turning yet again serves as a great piece of Equipment. Aside from boosting defense against close-quarters Strike combat, the special abilities of Beerus and other divine beings get a much-needed boost to establish their superiority.

It’s during the Universe Survival Arc that fans of Dragon Ball get to realize that there exist alternate universes with their own versions of their strongest Dragon Ball fighters. It’s also within these universes that some of the toughest fighters have forced Goku to break past his limits and unlock the legendary Ultra Instinct form, proving their might as a worthy team to build in Dragon Ball Legends.

While the likes of SP Bergamo (Red), SP Lavender (Purple), and SP Basil (Blue) seem like pushovers at first, it’s items like Here I Come! No. 1 that make can turn them into formidable foes. Aside from the default boost in Blast Defense, this item may also provide a boost Blast Attack or Defense, as well as Strike Attack or Defense. When used with the right build, this Equipment gives these characters some much-needed stability to outlast their foes.

8 I’ll Send It Back! (Regeneration)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Regeneration Slot 1: Base Strike Defense UP - 6%-15% Slot 2: Base Health UP - 4%-10% Slot 3: Blast Defense UP for each Element: Yellow battle member.

  • 6%-15%

Characters in Dragon Ball who can regenerate on their own have earned a special place among Dragon Ball Legends Fighters. Classified under the Regeneration character type, these Fighters like Cell, Majin Buu, and Piccolo are almost always tanks due to their innate durability.

However, it’s I’ll Send It Back! that exemplifies their capabilities. For instance, a tank like SP Good Buu GRN can use this Equipment for its Slot 3 buffs when working with other Yellow members, especially against Purple foes who are strong against Greens. Players who plan on making tanks out of Regeneration characters should consider this one of their must-haves.

7 Boundary Breaking Vegeta (Vegeta Family)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Vegeta Family Slot 1: Base Blast Attack UP - 6%-13% Slot 2: Special Move Damage UP - 5%-10% Slot 3: To Strike Attack for each “Tag: Vegeta Family” battle member UP - 2%-5%

Although Gohan and Goten’s growth proves a prevalence of Goku-focused stories in the main Dragon Ball lore, Vegeta’s bloodline is no slouch either. As proven with the Vegeta Family Tag in Dragon Ball Legends, prideful Vegeta and his son the humble Trunks prove to be some of the most competent Fighters the game has to offer. And, with Boundary Breaking Vegeta, their specialization in long-distance combat becomes more prevalent.

With this Equipment, not only do they get a buff for their base Blast Attack, but they also get boosts to their Special Moves. They get increased chances of unleashing a Strike Attack for each Vegeta Family member in the team too, giving players a lot more incentive to focus on growing a team featuring the bloodline.

6 Battle Of Saiyans (Saiyan)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Saiyan Slot 1: Base Strike Defense UP - 10%-18% Slot 2: To Strike Defense for 15 timer counts when faced with Saiyan UP - 4%-10% Slot 3: Base Health UP - 4%-10%

Given the number of Saiyans in the Dragon Ball series, it’s no surprise how a huge part of the fanbase would likely have the most powerful Saiyans in their Dragon Ball Legends team. In this regard, players who want to maximize the performance of the likes of SP Super Saiyan 3 Goku may want the Battle of the Saiyans Equipment.

This item remains an ideal piece of Equipment for any Saiyan with a focus on Strike attacks, as the buffs they provide can help them go toe-to-toe against tougher foes in both PVP and PVE setups. As a result, this Equipment serves as a decent starting ground when building more optimized Saiyan builds for different occasions.

5 Android #18 (Female Fighters)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Female Warriors, Girls Slot 1: Base Strike Attack UP - 8%-20% Slot 2: Base Health UP - 6%-15% Slot 3: Damage to RED after 30 timer counts UP - 6%-15%

While there are a lot of male Fighters who often take the lead in the series, it’s often female Fighters such as the former villain Android 18 that become proof that girls in the franchise aren’t to be messed with. Serving as one of the biggest threats in the early points of Dragon Ball Z, it makes sense for fans to grab Android 18 in a Dragon Ball Legends team.

When it comes to a Female Fighters Team setup, Android 18 is also a must-have due to her specialization against the PVP-prevalent Saiyan Tags. She becomes a behemoth as well with the Android #18 Equipment, as not only does this boost her base Strike Attack and Health, but it also boosts her damage against aggressive Red Fighters.

4 It’s All You, Gohan! (Son Family)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Son Family Slot 1: Base Strike Defense UP - 6%-13% Slot 2: Base Blast Defense UP - 6%-15% Slot 3: To Strike Attack for each Tag: Son Family battle member UP - 2%-5%

With Goku and his family, alongside their Saiyan transformations, taking the spotlight in the Dragon Ball series, it makes sense for a lot of fans to build teams based on these characters in Dragon Ball Legends. However, those who want to make the most optimized Goku family builds may want to rely on It’s all you, Gohan! for fast-paced, up-close setups.

With this Equipment, Strike-intensive Son Family members get not just base defensive buffs, but also attack buffs for Tag-based Strike Attacks, ensuring that players have an advantage even when going on the defensive with moves such as switching Fighters mid-combat. This Equipment is a great defensive supplement to other more offensive-focused Equipment due to its added survivability.

3 I Want To Fight! (Hybrid Saiyan)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Son Family Slot 1: Strike Defense or Blast Defense UP - 6%-18% Slot 2: Special Move Damage UP, Ultimate Damage UP - 5%-12. 5% Slot 3: Base Health or Damage to Regeneration UP - 5-12. 5%

It’s during the birth of Gohan and the arrival of Raditz that Goku and his family realized that Gohan is half-Saiyan, making him the first among various hybrids to arrive in Dragon Ball lore. While Gohan’s potential to be much stronger than Goku was hinted at early on, it’s the arrival of the likes of Trunks and Goten (and their early combat prowess by being able to use some of Goku’s powerful techniques) that cemented hybrids’ place as a force to reckon with in the fandom.

This is likely the reason why there is a separate Hybrid Saiyan Tag dedicated to them, and why I want to fight! is one of the best choices for their Equipment. At its core, this Equipment not only boosts a Hybrid Fighter’s defense against Strike or Blast Attacks, but it also gives them massive boosts in both Special Moves and Ultimates. When used properly with the likes of Trunks and Goten, it can turn them into powerhouses in their respective teams.

2 Saiyans Don’t Do Limits! (Future, Vegeta Family)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Melee Type Slot 1: Base Blast Defense UP - 5%-12% Slot 2: Base Critical UP, Base Strike Attack UP - 5%-10% Slot 3: To Blast Attack for each Tag: Future battle member UP - 2%-5%

Time travel has become one of the most prevailing story arcs in Dragon Ball canon, beginning when Future Trunks arrived to warn Goku and his team of the impending Android threat. The theme of changing the future via time travel has since then become a staple in the series, with Dragon Ball Legends gameplay branding them with the Future Tag.

Interestingly enough, Saiyans Don’t Do Limits! is an ideal piece of Equipment for their kits, particularly for Melee Types that can benefit from the defense against Blast Attacks, while at the same time, enjoy boosts in Criticals and Strike Attacks. Most interesting is how this Equipment is also very suitable for Vegeta Family Teams, as a lot of their members also have the Future Tag.

1 This Is The Kaioken (Strike Fighters)

Type: Gold Equip Condition: Melee Type Slot 1: Base Strike Defense UP - 6%-15% Slot 2: Base Strike Attack Up - 5%-12. 5% Slot 3: Base Strike Attack Up - 5%-18%

It’s evident how Dragon Ball Legends gameplay tries to replicate the fast-paced action sequences of Dragon Ball fight scenes, which means a lot of Fighters will duke it out up close and personal. For players who rely heavily on their Strikers, This is the Kaioken is easily the best piece of Equipment and is based on Goku’s signature Kaioken technique.

Based on where this is placed, this Equipment can beef up either the defenses or the attacks of a Strike-based Fighter; something that melee characters can definitely make use of when fighting others in melee range. Someone like Android 18, who, despite her Blast Arts, can dish out more damage to the popular Saiyan Tag may get an immense power boost from this item.
