The DBZ space is an ever-expanding metaverse that started with Dragon Ball Z and now has multiple anime seasons and countless DBZ movies.
But, a new and exciting DBZ venture with Bandai Namco is Dragon Ball Legends—a card-based 3D video game where you can fight as any of your favorite Dragon Ball characters.
However, fighting is more fun when you have the best fighters on your side. In story mode, you can gradually improve any character, and defeat the AI enemies, but PvP battles are a whole other story.
So, whether you are a new player or a veteran, this DB Legends tier list will help you a lot. We’ll be making two different Dragon Ball Legends tier lists- one list is for the best Fighters, while the second one enlists the best Dragon Ball Legends Teams.
Dragon Ball Legends Tier List Objective
There are hundreds of playable characters in Dragon Ball Legends, and learning about each one of these characters by using them one by one will take up a lot of hours, A LOT! And since our DBZ space experts have already done that, there’s no need for you to do so.
Instead, you can spend a speck of that time going through this DB Legends tier list and start building on the best fighters from the get-go.
Also, since DB Legends continuously gets updates and new characters, we update our tier list accordingly. So, if you want to stay on top of the PvP battles, this page can help you a lot.
With that said, let’s now jump into our Dragon Ball Legends tier lists.
DB Legends Tier List – Fighters
We are going to rank the DB Legends fighters into 6 tiers, best to worst fighters.
Usually, we label the highest tier as ‘god-tier,’ but in honor of Dragon Ball, we are calling it the ‘Z-tier.’ And, for the worst fighters, we have the Veku-tier.
.
Z-Tier Fighters
These fighters are the creme de la creme of Dragon Ball Legends and certainly worthy of the god-tier. These fighters have the best attack and defense combos, work extremely well with teams and have little to no weaknesses.
| DBL Fighter | Optimal Element |
| UL Super Gogeta | Blue |
| SP LL Super Saiyan God SS Goku & Vegeta | Purple |
| SP LL Super Saiyan Trunks – Adult | Blue |
| SP Super Saiyan 2 Youth Gohan | Red |
| SP LL Super Saiyan Gohan | Yellow |
| SP Super Saiyan Youth Gohan | Purple |
| SP Super Saiyan 3 Goku | Green |
Units like SP Super Saiyan 2 Youth Gohan and SP Super Saiyan 3 Goku are new promotions to the Z-tier after the recent update.
S-Tier Fighters
S-tier fighters are very close to Z-tier fighters in Dragon Ball Legends, but only close, not the same. Although the S-tier fighters are pretty strong, the Z-tier is just extraordinary.
So, until you get your hands on a Z-tier fighter, these are your best bet. Don’t get any wrong ideas, though. These are fun to play with and extremely difficult to defeat in PvP battles.

| SP Zamasu: Goku Black | Green |
| SP Super Saiyan 3 Goku | Purple |

| SP Super #17 | Green |
| SP Angry Goku | Blue |
| SP Super Saiyan Bardock | Blue |
Content updates can sometimes result in a character getting downgraded as well. For instance, SP Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta was a Z-tier character before the latest update. When new gods come, old ones have to step down.
A-Tier Fighters
This is the mid-ranger tier of DB Legends fighters. Some of these are the core members of DB Legends teams, while others have vital power-ups and boosts that make for interesting builds.
The trick to mastering these is finding the right boosts or accompanying them with the right fighters.

B-Tier Fighters
Although the B-Tier might not sound as impressive as the above ones, these fighters have a good bit of firepower and abilities. Until you get your hands on A or S-tier fighters, these will be your core killers.
Some players stick with these as the core fighter even after unlocking higher fighters, it’s all about playing the right cards.

C-Tier Fighters
This is the longest DB Legends tier list because the number of outdated and average fighters on Dragon Ball Legends is way too high. This happens because new updates bring new and more powerful characters, but the old ones stay right there.
Still, keeping these around has a purpose because these hold some impressive synergy items and things like Extra Move cards.

Veku-Tier Fighters
Welcome to the weakest tier of the Dragon Ball Legends tier list. We also like to call this the LOL-tier, because although once good, these fighters are now just blah! Using these in PvP means you’re closer to defeat than victory.

DB Legends Tier List – Teams
Time to move on to our Dragon Ball Legends team tier list. We’ll rank the various teams, just like we did with the fighters in a tier list.
Once again, these are decided by our plugged-in gamers so you might have a different ranking. Do mention in the comments what you agree and disagree with.
Z-Tier Teams
These are the god-tier teams in DB Legends, which means these are the most well-balanced teams. They strike the perfect combination of defense and attack and allow the players a bit more room for mistakes.
- Saiyans Team
- Future Team
- Son Fam Team
- Movies Team
- GT Team
S-Tier Teams
As the tier goes down, so do the power levels of Dragon Ball teams. The S-tier teams are plenty powerful but lack that final power bar to reach the Z-tier. Maybe with new updates some of these will make it to the DB Legends Team god-tier.
- Hybrids Team
- God Ki Team
- Fusion Team
- Vegeta Fam Team
- Regeneration Team
A-Tier Teams
These are more of the hit-or-miss teams. If you can find the right matchups, these might even defeat Z-tier teams, if not, the fight becomes extremely one-sided.
If you are to play with these, take some time to learn their tips and tricks. The DBD Reddit page is a great fan forum.
- Frieza Force Team
- Super Saiyans Team
- Powerfull Ops Team
- Rival Universe Team
- Legends Road Team
- Dragon Ball Saga Team
B-Tier Teams
Again, filled with some powerful heroes, but not the most consistent when working as a team. In the Meta, these teams need lots of luck and some legendary plays to stand a chance against the higher-tier opponents.
- Female Team
- Android Team
- Frieza Saga Team
- Saiyan Saga Team
- Universal Survival Saga Team
- Lineage of Evil Team
- Legends Road Team
- Super Warrior Team
- Ginyu Force Team
And that is how we think the fighters and team in Dragon Ball Legends rank in a tier list. We love the fact that with the right information, any player can be a champion in DB Legends. And that is exactly what we want you to become using this tier list.
We hope you learned something about this exciting anime video game and we look forward to seeing some of your recommendations in the comments.
And we’ll update this list whenever there is a significant change in the rankings.
