Summary
- "I Want More Titles" - Cosmetic change, save for last reward gained.
- "I Want More Zeni" - Zeni is abundant, easily earned through missions.
- "I Want New Outfits" - Save for later, flashy but not essential for progression.
With Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero storming the digital storefront and being one of the most hyped gaming releases of 2024, there's no doubt that players are eager to get their hands on as many juicy bonuses as soon as possible.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Smashes Steam Record Before It's Even Out
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero sets a major Steam record before its official launch, showing potential for the fighting game's future.
Shenron, the mystical dragon who grants wishes to any who bears all seven Dragon Balls at once, plays an exciting role in Spike Chunshoft's anime-based spectacle. Though in-game, the Dragon Balls are far easier to come across, with Deluxe edition players getting a free summon right off the bat and others being earned through story segments and Zen-Oh orders. Getting that first set of wishes can be an exciting yet slightly overwhelming decision for newer players who want to get the most bang for their buck. With all that said, here's a look at the best Shenron wishes that Sparking! Zero players should set their sights on first.
5 I Want More Titles
Entertaining But Not Essential
Though some exclusive titles are nice, this is a more cosmetic change than anything, and it should probably be saved for the last reward gained.
Though they do look cool introducing players in online matches, they don't serve any real purpose outside of it, and it doesn't provide any boost to player progression in the short-term, which is typically what Shenron wishes are best for.
4 I Want More Zeni
Don't Always Chase The Money
- 300,000 Zeni
Zeni isn't exactly the hardest currency to come by in Sparking! Zero; it's given to players in droves as they make their way through various missions and challenges. It's a simple wish to make for those with some spare Dragon Balls lying around, though.
All Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron Wishes in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO
There are seven potential wishes in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, though players will first need to find the Dragon Balls before they can make them.
Shenron offers 300,000 Zeni, which has its uses, such as new characters, costumes, ability items, and more. In the grand scope of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, however, 300,00 Zeni is generally negligible and can be earned pretty easily as players progress .
3 I Want New Outfits
Probably Not Yamcha's Best Look
- New outfits for multiple characters
Everyone wants to look cool, but there are far cooler outfits out there for more versatile characters. Though unique, the outfits provided for Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, and Goku won't help anyone beat those more challenging fights. Fans of the Dragon Ball Super series will primarily want to pick up Goku and Vegeta's outfits. Both wishes provide the deuteragonist's primary get-ups from the series.
With so many ways to earn player outfits and how easy some of them are to acquire through challenges and story modes, it's best to use those valuable first wishes for something more tangible. Though no one denies the outfits are "flashy," they're just best saved for that last go around.
2 I Want You To Raise My Player Level
Small Useful Boost
Somewhat self-explanatory – using this causes Shenron to raise the player's level – which can handily provide that little boost for those slightly out-of-reach store items.
Though no one's going to be struggling for levels if they're adequately making their way through the game's primary content, it's a handier shortcut to 'power.' In the grand scheme of things, it's not vital to unlock, but it's one of the better Shenron luxuries for early-game. It's especially beneficial for Deluxe Edition players looking to kickstart their journey one step ahead. This gives a set amount of experience, meaning that if one starts at level 7, this wish boosts them to level 12.
1 I Want To Complete An Episode Battle
For Those Tougher Battles
This wish grants one a Dragon Orb, which, upon use in an Episode Battle Match, will considerably lower the difficulty of Secondary Objectives. This is easily one of the more versatile wishes in the game, especially for those struggling to clear a level fully.
How to Beat Great Ape Vegeta in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO (Vegeta's Secret Maneuver)
Due both to his immense power and the player's inexperience, beating Great Ape Vegeta in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO can be incredibly difficult.
This is handier for Sparking Episodes, which act as Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero's 'What If?' Scenarios. This wish will make that journey far easier for the die-hard collect-a-thon fans looking to Platinum their way through the game. Whether it's finally defeating those Frieza soldiers in time or just taking out Raditz solo - those secondary conditions can be challenging to meet, so the more help, the better.
