Many players jump into Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 eager to soar through the skies of Conton City and beyond. While the game doesn’t feature a literal “flying license,” unlocking your character’s full potential and mastering aerial combat is a crucial part of the experience. This guide will walk you through understanding race-specific awakenings and QQ Bangs, key elements to power up your character and enhance your gameplay in Xenoverse 2.
To progress through the game and unlock powerful abilities, you’ll need to engage with Time Rifts. These rifts are your gateway to obtaining race-specific Awakening skills. Initially, you’ll be introduced to these rifts by ninjas at each location. Simply speaking with the Murasaki Bros at each Time Rift location will initiate the process and allow you to continue the main storyline for a while.
Later in the game, to unlock your race’s unique Awakening, you’ll need to revisit these Time Rifts. This second visit is crucial for gaining access to transformative abilities that are specific to your chosen race. Each race has a designated location for their Time Rift:
- Saiyans: Capsule Corp
- Humans: Hercule’s House
- Frieza Race: Frieza’s Ship
- Namekians: Guru’s House
- Majins: Buu’s House
During your second visit to these rifts, you’ll be tasked with race-specific training to unlock your Awakening. This training culminates in learning how to use your race’s signature transformation: Super Saiyan (SSJ) for Saiyans, Power Pole Pro for Humans, Golden Form for Frieza Race, Giant Form for Namekians, or Purification for Majins. If you happen to unlock your race-specific Awakening before the game explicitly requires it for story progression, you’ll conveniently bypass that particular requirement, streamlining your gameplay experience.
Beyond race awakenings, another significant way to enhance your character’s stats and customize your appearance is through QQ Bangs, crafted at Capsule Corp. QQ Bangs are special items that override the stats of any clothing you equip.
To create a QQ Bang, you’ll need to fuse two pieces of clothing with desirable stats. Experimenting with different combinations is key to obtaining a QQ Bang with beneficial attributes. A well-crafted QQ Bang can significantly boost your character’s abilities, allowing you to optimize your build regardless of your clothing choices.
QQ Bangs essentially act as a complete set of clothing stat bonuses, regardless of what your character is actually wearing. This means you could even choose to have no clothing equipped visually and still benefit from the stats provided by the QQ Bang. It’s important to understand that QQ Bang stats are multiplied by four. For example, a “+5” boost to Ki on a QQ Bang translates to an actual increase of “+20” to your Ki stat in-game. This multiplier also applies to negative stats, so a “-5” in Health will result in a “-20” reduction in health.
The goal when creating QQ Bangs is to achieve a balance of stats where the positive attributes outweigh the negatives, tailored to your playstyle and character build. Creating the ideal QQ Bang can be challenging, often requiring rare materials for crafting the best versions. However, the effort is worthwhile, as QQ Bangs allow you to freely choose your character’s appearance without compromising on stats. You can prioritize looking exactly how you want while maintaining a powerful and optimized character build thanks to the stat overrides provided by QQ Bangs.
