What is Transformation?
Transformation refers to when a character permanently or temporarily changes form over the course of a match, powering up tremendously in the process. Transformations alter a character’s stats, abilities, special moves, and more to make them much stronger.
Some examples of famous DragonBall transformations include:
- Saiyans transforming into Super Saiyans
- Frieza transforming into his final form
- Cell transforming from his imperfect to perfect form
Transformation Mechanics
There are a few key mechanics that govern transformations in DragonBall Legends:
Transformation Conditions
Every transformation has a specific condition that must be fulfilled for it to activate. Common conditions include:
- Reaching a certain timer count during battle
- Having another ally defeated
- Landing a certain number of attacks/cards
- Dropping below a certain amount of health
Once the condition is met, the character will transform automatically.
Transformation Buffs
When a character transforms, they receive major stat buffs across the board:
- Increased base stats
- Extra ability/unique ability bonuses
- Draw extra cards
- Gain vanish gauge
- Heal some health
This allows them to easily overpower opponents after transforming.
Transformation Downsides
Transformations often come with some drawbacks as well:
- Long transformation animation that leaves you vulnerable
- Loss of specific Z-abilities from the pre-transformed state
- The transformation reverts after a certain amount of timer counts
You need to carefully balance these pros and cons when using a transforming character.
