DLC 3 is Here! Part 1

DLC Pack 3 for Xenoverse 2 has finally arrived. Three new characters, three new PQ's, all new attacks and gear, let's check them out.

So let's start with the characters, beginning with the most popular, Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black.

Goku Black is a whole new character and not just a reskin of Goku. All his combos are brand new, and his heavy attacks use his blade very well. Two of his super attacks are Maximum Charge and Instant Transmission, but he has two new attacks as well.

First off is his Divine Retribution, and it works two different ways. If you input it once he just fires a blast, but input it a second time and he teleports behind the opponent and slashes downward at them.

Ki Blast

Downward Slash

His second attack is Sudden Death Beam, it's a counter move where when they attack, you teleport behind them and fire a blast from behind.

Sudden Death Beam

His evasive move is Break Strike, nothing special, but his ultimate's are where the action is. First is his Super Black Kamehameha Rosé, which is like the original Super Black Kamehameha but it's more difficult t escape from, does more damage, and has a more pinkish tint to fit the Rosé theme.

There's also the new ultimate, Divine Lasso, where he charges at the opponent and strikes with his blade, fires smaller blades at them, and strikes a pose before they explode.

That Blade

That Pose

Next up is Zamasu, who also uses a blade in his combos as well. His super attacks are Full Power Charge, Shockwave, but he also has two new Super attacks.

His Heavenly Arrow attack fires a barrage of ki blasts, and if inputted forward while near an opponent, he'll slash at them before firing them.

His other attack, God Splitter, is where he has a ball of Ki in front of him which can trap opponents can be launched.

His ultimate attack, Instant Severance, is where he turns into a ki blade and heads towards the enemy before slashing at them, causing massive damage.

Instant Severance

The final character in this DLC is none other than Bojack from the movie Bojack Unbound.

Bojack combos, while not as impressive as the other two since he has no blade, are still awesome and really look like they hurt.

He has three new super attacks, one being Trap Shooter, where he fires a wave of Ki blasts.

Trap Shooter

His other attack is Reverse Launcher, where he fires a ki blast and, whether he misses or not, appears behind the enemy and fires one from behind.

Next is Psychcic Barrier, where he surround himself in a barrier which can expand up to three times.

Psychic Barrier

His ultimate attack is Grand Smasher, where he charges up a giant ki ball and hurls it the enemy, trapping them before it explodes. One thing I noticed that when they're trapped, it doesn't deal much damage, just tiny bits, but does massive damage once it explodes.

Grand Smasher

Overall DLC Pack 3 has some great characters and they are all fun to use. Next part will be on the new PQ's so stay tune for that and see you in the next post.

DLC 3 livestream

On April 20th, Bandai Namco did a livestream on their YouTube channel showing gameplay of DLC Pack 3. So let's see what we have here.

In the stream, YouTubers Rhymestlye, jDantastic, and SeeReax, along with Bandai employee dkhlynin, or Dmitryi Khlynin, show us gameplay of the three new characters, but not before telling us the release date of DLC Pack 3, April 25! It's so close people!

Anyways, they show that in the new PQ's, you'll be able to unlock Goku Black's clothes, Zamasu's clothes, and Super Black Kamehameha Rosé. They then start some battles, with Rhymestyle playing Goku Black Rosé and SeeReax playin as Zamasu. Here we see how some of their combos work, including their blades, which are parts of their combos. We also see some of their special attacks, like Zamasu's Heavenly Arrow, which fires a barrage of ki blasts in a straight line, and Goku Black's Divine Retribution, where he teleports behind the enemy and downward slashes at them. We also see Goku Black's new ultimate, Divine Lasso, where he slashes the enemy away before firing a bunch of ki blades at them, and then they explode. We also see a brief of Zamasu's other two moves, God Splitter, which fires a giant ki blast, and Instant Severance, where he turns into a giant blade charges towards them. But seeing how that move did not connect, it possibly could do more.

Next match is Rhymestyle against jDantastic, as Bojack and Goku Black respectively. We see some new moves for Bojack, such as where he shoots a ki blasts, then teleports behind the enemy and fires another one.We also see his Psycho Barrier, where he's surrounded in a huge barrio of ki energy.

We then see his ultimate, Grand Smasher, where he sends a ki blast downwards to the enemy, and another super attack where he lets out a wave of ki blasts. Next match is jDantastic and SeeReax, once again as Zamasu and Goku Black, but here we see Goku Black's Super Black Kamehameha Rosé, which is about the same as the original but has a pinkish tint. And we see Zamasu's Instant Severance complete attack, where after landing Zamasu strikes down and sends them away.

Once battles are over they show off some Parallel Quests, starting with The Future's Greatest Hope, where we could get Future Mai's clothes. But what's interesting is that Dmitryi answers a question from the shat, asking how many more DLC packs will there be. He says that he can't tell an exact number but there will be more. Earlier it was confirmed that there were going to be four DLC packs, but it never said those were the only ones so who knows, we may get more. He also said there won't be a story chapter here, but then Rhymestyle says there will be one in the 4th pack.

As the quest ends, we got someone else, AfroSenjuXL, who is going up against SeeReax. After that it's just some 1v1 against everyone for the rest of the stream.

So what did you guys think of this stream, let me know and I'll see you in the next post.

How to get Power Pole Pro

The final part in this Awakened Skill unlock segments is the transformations for the humans, or Earthlings, the Power Pole Pro.

Power Pole Pro

To start off, you need to head to the time miniature for Hercules's House, where you meet with Great Saiyaman, Great Saiyaman 2, and Jaco. They ask if you want to become the third Great Saiyaman. When you agree, your first mission is too fight both Saiyaman and Saiyaman 2, and Jaco will be fighting alongside you. Just beat them and you officially become Saiyaman 3.

The next quest from them will involve you and the other three to take on the Ginyu Force, starting with Guldo and Burter. After them, you face Jeice and Recoome, and when they're down you go up against Ginyu himself. There's also Jaco saying to collect ship parts, but that's completely optional.

The last mission that's needed to be done before you can unlock the transformation involves other Time Patrollers. Here you fight alongside both Saiyaman and Saiyaman 2 against three Time Patrollers. Just like other quests, beat them and you're done.

Now this is where you unlock the transformation, Saiyaman and Saiyaman 2 ask if there's anything they could do to make you unique. So you have to talk to Jaco and Hercule for advice, with Jaco suggesting a weapon, and Hercule a vehicle. After talking to them, report back to the hero duo and Saiyaman has an idea on what to do.

You then have to spar against them, and in the middle of it you unlock the Power Pole Pro, which is just you on the Flying Nimbus while using a Power Pole. After you take them down the first time, they get back up and fight you again. Defeat them again and you unlock the ability to use the Power Pole Pro for your Earthling character.

Well, that's the last of this Awakened Skills, did these posts help you at all, let me know and I'll see you in the next post.

DLC 2 First Impressions Part 2

Continuing off with Part 1, we will discuss the new attacks.

So let's start off with all the new content from the free update first., beginning with the new attacks. The update released five new attacks, three which you can get from the TP shop and two others form the new expert missions. Starting with the three you get from the TP shop, the first move is Menacing Flare. Now how it works is that you fire a ki blast that fires at the opponent, but if it misses, you vanish and launch them with a kick. This move can be used when your opponent thinks they have the upper hand, but you just come and take that away.

Ki Blast

Vanish Kick

The next move is Jumping Energy Wave. You fire a purple energy wave to the ground that lifts you into the air and knocks back your opponent if their near. While this isn't my favorite move, it could be handy if you need them to be away.

Jumping Energy Wave

The last move for the TP shop is Wild Hunt. This is basically a combo move, where you kick them away before charging at them and kick them into the air, follow them again to knock them down and then finish it off by charging into them. This move can easily be combed into so I say it's good.

End of Wild Hunt

These next two moves can only be acquired by the new expert missions. First off is Focus Flash, which is obtained in Expert Mission 18. How it works is that you fire a massive ki blast and if it lands you fire a barrage of smaller blasts. Now if you stamina break your opponent, this can be used well to end a combo.

Focus Flash

The final new move with the update is Tail Slicer, from Expert Mission 19. It's basically a Destructo Disc, which fires at high speeds and your moving backwards. This move can be used to catch your opponent off guard if used well.

Tail Slicer

Moving onto the DLC moves, there are the moves for Champa, starting with God of Destruction's Roar. This move basically knocks away the opponent by screaming... a lot. One thing to be aware is that you can't use it by itself cause the opponent insta blocks, meaning that they just block it even if they don't hit the block button.

God of Destruction's Roar

Next move is his ultimate move, God of Destruction's Menace. With it you fire a barrage of dark ki blasts which can home into the opponent by inputting it multiple times.

Ignore the screenshot notification

Next moves are Vados' and they are hard to use. To start off you need a move called Destruction's Conductor, otherwise their useless. The first move is Destruction's Concerto: Starfall. You summon two balls of ki energy next to you. With Destruction's Conductor, they split into smaller ki blasts that home in on the opponent. This move is useful when their far away, allowing you to catch up to them while their being hit.

Before Conductor

After Conductor

Next is Destruction's Concerto: Comet, which summons a ki ball in front of you that slowly moves towards the opponent. Using Destruction's Conductor will cause it to speed up tremendously towards the opponent. This can be used if the opponent is charging towards you, causing them to regret it immediately.

Before Conductor

After Conductor

Up next is Destruction's Concerto: Meteor, summoning a ki ball behind the opponent. By using Destruction's Conductor, it splits into two ki blasts and launches in a V formation. This move is practically useless even with Destruction's Conductor, I rather just use it when I launch them away, so that they actually get hit instead of the attack missing.

Before Conductor

After Conductor

Lastly is Vados' ultimate, Requiem of Destruction. This move, if used right, traps the opponent in a massive amount of ki energy, and explodes. This can cause some serious damage and is fun to use.

Requiem of Destruction

There was another move called Sonic Bomb, but unfortunately I don't have it and none of the characters have it as well, but basically it's a smaller Giant Storm, where the ground below the opponent explodes.

Well that's the attacks, got to say not the best set. While some of them are fun to use, most of them, like the Destruction's Concerto moves, aren't that good. Well what do you think of these attacks, give me your opinions and I'll see you in the next post.
