DRAGON BALL LEGENDS: How to Prepare Shallot for Upgrades

To prepare Shallot for incoming balance updates or new forms in DRAGON BALL LEGENDS, clear every available chapter of the Main Story, max out his Soul Boost panels, and raise target roster characters to Friendship Rank 2 to unlock teachable Special Move Arts.

Unlike standard summonable fighters who rely on Chrono Crystals for limit breaks, Shallot’s progression is tied entirely to story milestones and account preparation.

Core Progression Checklist

Complete these account requirements first so Shallot has access to his highest baseline stats and transformation options:

Upgrade Step	Requirement	Immediate Account Benefit
Max Star Cap	Clear all current Main Story chapters	Unlocks Shallot's available Z-Power and raises his stat ceiling
Form Unlocks	Defeat transformation story battles	Unlocks form options (such as Super Saiyan through Super Saiyan God) in Customize
Soul Boost Panels	Farm Rising Souls and Super Souls	Fully unlocks base stat tiers and passive panel nodes
Teachable Arts	Reach Friendship Rank 2 on roster fighters	Unlocks signature Special Move Arts for Shallot to equip

Leaving story chapters uncleared caps Shallot at lower star counts and locks away newer forms. Clearing these stages also provides the energy and resources needed to complete his Soul Boost trees.

Unlocking and Selecting Teachable Special Move Arts

Shallot can equip Special Move Arts (blue cards) from other fighters once those characters reach Friendship Rank 2. You can build Friendship Rank by using characters in story battles or daily Let's Fight events, then equip their moves through the character customization menu.

Prioritize teaching Shallot moves that provide utility or defensive coverage rather than raw damage alone:

Crowd Control (Faint or Paralyze): Blue cards with high faint or heavy paralyze chances create openings to reset vanishing gauge, swap characters, or execute a safe Rising Rush.
Vanish Gauge Recovery: Moves that refund vanishing gauge upon activation or hit allow Shallot to counter an opponent's approach and immediately regain a dodge.
Blast Armor: Moves that grant Blast Armor let Shallot charge through incoming blast cards, bypassing neutral zoning and forcing an immediate engagement.
Defensive Piercing: Cards that penetrate sustained damage cut or nullify endurance help Shallot secure knockouts against defensive anchors.

Team Synergy and Equipment Setup

Shallot possesses the Saiyan and Game Originals tags. Because Game Originals support is limited, build his team around general Saiyan synergy.

Bench Z-Abilities: Run bench units offering dual offensive buffs (base Strike and Blast Attack) to broad Saiyan allies.
Health Buffers: Include at least one dedicated Saiyan base health buffer on the bench to offset Shallot's vulnerability prior to transforming.
Equipment Focus: Equip unique or awakened Saiyan gear that reinforces pure strike or blast damage according to your selected transformation, alongside slots that grant health restoration or base defenses.

Managing Battle Flow and Transformation Timing

Shallot enters combat in base form with lower baseline stats and limited damage reduction. To maximize his impact in battle:

Stall the opening counts: Avoid aggressive, high-risk neutral plays early. Use tap actions and blast baits to gauge opponent timing, and switch to a defensive teammate with cover-change abilities if trapped in an early combo.
Transform safely: Activate Shallot's main ability during a confirmed combo or immediately after an opponent exhausts their vanishing gauge.
Capitalize on entry buffs: Transformation restores health and ki while upgrading Shallot's passive buffs and drawing cards. Use this immediate tempo swing to play aggressively and unleash his equipped Special Move Arts card under full damage multipliers.
