Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has a seemingly endless amount of content to pour through, and it can certainly become intimidating to new players. Developers recognized this concern, and have included a dedicated feature to make up for this. Dragon Wishes not only make use of the series' namesake but are a core feature of progression in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

It would almost be strange if Dragon Ball's iconic MacGuffins didn't find their way into Sparking Zero. Likewise, it's certainly natural for their wish-granting abilities to lend any number of rewards. Dragon Wishes have a surprising amount of detail to unpack, and understanding the differences will help players get ahead in their journey to become the world's strongest.

Dragon Wishes Are a Limited Resource with Massive Potential

Dragon Wishes come in three different varieties, and this is perhaps the most important detail to delve into. After all, each host of the Dragon Wishes provides different rewards and demands different requirements. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is not an easy game to complete, and though Dragon Wishes can take time to obtain as well, they're more than worth the wait.

While Shenron is undoubtedly the most iconic of the Eternal Dragons, he's not the only one to be featured in the game. Shenron is flanked by Porunga and Super Shenron, with each of them serving a different purpose. The three dragons do share a few wishes, but players should still think carefully each time they collect the Dragon Balls.

Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron Dragon Wishes in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

For starters, it's important to recognize the general Dragon Wishes that are shared among Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron. Although they may all grant a certain wish, the extent of the reward may vary wildly. As a rule of thumb, Super Shenron represents the maximum reward that players can obtain, though this naturally makes him the most difficult to reach.

Dragon Wishes shared by Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron:

  • I want more Zeni (Rewards players with a varying amount of in-game currency to spend in shops)
  • I want you to raise my Player Level (Rewards players with a sizable amount of experience)
  • I want more titles (Rewards players with cosmetic titles to use on their Player Cards)

Dragon Wishes available only to Shenron and Super Shenron:

  • I want new outfits (Rewards players with unique outfits exclusive to each dragon)

Dragon wishes available only to Porunga and Super Shenron:

  • I want ability items (Rewards players with a small selection of ability items to use in combat)

Increasing one's Player Level is a universally positive wish, while the others mostly help to obtain exclusive cosmetics. Still, "I want more Zeni" perfectly illustrates the difference in rarity. Shenron offers 300,000 Zeni, Porunga only offers 120,000 Zeni, while Super Shenron rewards the player with a whopping 1,000,000 Zeni. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg, as exclusive wishes are by far the most enticing rewards in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is Hiding its Best Rewards Behind Exclusive Dragon Wishes

The Most Rare Dragon Wishes in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

True to lore, Shenron might be considered the least powerful of the wish-granting dragons. Shenron's unique wish, "I want to complete an Episode Battle," rewards players with a Dragon Orb. Dragon Orbs can be spent to more easily beat a battle in the game's story mode, but many players may not necessarily need to skip even Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's most difficult battles.

Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that Porunga's Wishes are actually somewhat less potent than Shenron's best wishes. This is meant to offset Porunga's unique feature, which is the ability to grant three wishes at once. This is a straightforward mechanic, and it is more than rewarding enough for players who manage to track down Porunga's Dragon Balls.

Players may have a hard time tracking him down, but Super Shenron's Wishes are more than worth the effort. Aside from being the most potent in general, his exclusive wish is even more exciting. Super Shenron provides a wish called "I want more characters," in which players can obtain either Goku Black or Fused Zamasu. This is not only a fun reference to Dragon Ball Super's Goku Black Arc but also one of the few ways to unlock these immensely powerful fighters.

Where to Find the Dragon Balls in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron are all accessed through a different set of Dragon Balls. Just as their wishes are different, the requirements to obtain these Dragon Balls vary as well. Players who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition will receive Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's Season Pass, as well as one free Shenron Summon. Meanwhile, players who purchased the Digital Ultimate Edition will receive both the Shenron Summon and a free Super Shenron Summon.

Past that point, players will need to work hard if they want to collect any given set of Dragon Balls. Dragon Balls will occasionally be obtained as rewards for completing battles, but these drop rates are hardly reliable. Thankfully, players who had early access to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero have already managed to map out most of the best ways to meet this challenge.

Shenron will likely be the first Dragon Wishes players can access, as his Dragon Balls can be easily obtained by completing missions through Whis' Stamp Book and Zen-Oh's Orders. Porunga isn't so easy, as battles seem to be the only way to unlock his set of Dragon Balls. That said, grinding through offline tournaments does help to fast-track this process. Super Shenron's Super Dragon Balls can be obtained by completing a full playthrough of Goku's Episode Battles, ironically making them the most reliable to obtain.

It's important to remember that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will receive DLC, and is therefore still an ongoing game. It's more likely than not that more ways to obtain Dragon Balls will be released or discovered in the near future. Until then, players should continue to weigh their options and ensure they're getting the best use out of the game's best road for player progression.
