Bandai Namco

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is already set to become one of most popular fighting games ahead of its October 11, 2024 release as fans are itching to know which of the 181 characters are the best in the game. 

Colloquially referred to as Budokai Tenkaichi 4, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is one of the most unique fighting games because every character is purposely unequal. 

However, what puts everybody on a level playing field are Destruction Points. Unlike, most fighting games, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero utilizes a Destruction points system to balance teams in Ranked matches so that every character can be viable in ranked as long as their team’s total falls below 15 total Destruction Points.

From the great heights of playing as the legendary Whis to the faux-legendary Hercule, here is your guide to every single character’s Destruction Points (DP) in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero.
