When unannounced or unexpected story events return during the Autumn Campaign in DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE, immediately clear every difficulty for first-time Dragon Stones, stockpile event-specific awakening medals, and pre-farm free-to-play character copies. These off-schedule revivals typically signal that the returning characters or story sagas are directly tied to upcoming Dokkan Festival banners, Extreme Z-Awakenings (EZAs), or Extreme Z-Areas arriving in the next phase of the celebration.
Why Mysterious Event Revivals Return
Story events and Dokkan Events rarely return during campaign windows without a practical purpose. Mid-campaign updates often introduce new Extreme Z-Areas that strictly require fully awakened, rainbowed free-to-play units from older events.
If you bypass these events while they are active, you risk burning Keys of Battle in the Portal of Memories or being locked out of limited-time missions once the new content launches.
| Revived Event Type | Campaign Role | Preparation Action |
|---|---|---|
| Old Story Event (F2P Unit Drops) | Unit receiving an EZA or serving as a mandatory Extreme Z-Area entry unit | Farm 14 base copies for Hidden Potential and Super Attack, plus 5 extra copies for EZA Super Attack levels |
| Story Event with Specific Medals | Materials required for upcoming banner side-units or Dokkan Awakenings | Pre-farm 20 to 35 awakening medals of each featured character type |
| Dokkan Event (Older Fest Lead) | Super EZA (SEZA) update or lead Dokkan Awakening | Clear stages to stock awakening medals and test Category-boosted team compositions |
Autumn Campaign Farming Priorities
Farming active story events with natural stamina prevents bottlenecks when celebration banners and Extreme Z-Areas go live. Follow this sequence to prepare your roster efficiently:
- Clear Every Difficulty for First-Time Dragon Stones: Complete all uncompleted stages across Normal, Hard, and Z-Hard difficulties. Each first-time clear rewards a Dragon Stone to save for incoming banners.
- Collect 14 Copies for Base Hidden Potential: Farm one base copy of the featured event character, collect nine copies to raise the Super Attack level to 10, and collect four additional copies to unlock all Hidden Potential paths (prioritizing bottom-right and top-left).
- Pre-Grind Five Extra Copies for Level 140 EZAs: If the unit is slated for an upcoming EZA, farm an additional five copies and train them to Super Attack level 5 on a separate copy. When the primary unit reaches level 140 and max Super Attack 15, feeding this secondary copy guarantees max Super Attack without spending Elder Kais or Grand Kais.
- Stockpile Awakening Medals: Bank 20 to 35 surplus awakening medals from the stage. Having extra medals on hand ensures immediate awakenings if an unannounced banner card or secondary unit requires those specific drops.
Dragon Stone and Resource Management
The Autumn Campaign sits between major high-value windows, trailing celebrations like the Worldwide Campaign while preceding year-end milestones such as the Thank You Celebration, the Dragon Ball Heroes collaboration, and the New Year Step-Up banners.
- Hold Stones for Major Leads: Category summon banners and non-discounted filler banners frequently accompany event revivals. Avoid spending stones on bait banners and reserve currency for high-value releases featuring modern 200% Category leads.
- Check Category Drop Boosts: Always check the stage details before farming. Field a team filled with high-rarity characters (LRs and URs) from the boosted Category to maximize bonus drops per stamina bar.
- Rely on Natural Stamina: Reserve Small, Medium, and Large Aged Meat for Prime Battle grinds or sudden Extreme Z-Area drops. Use standard regenerating stamina for routine Autumn story farming.
- Preserve Keys of Battle: Complete all medal and character grinding while stages are available in the regular Event tab so your Portal of Memories keys remain stocked for unannounced mid-year events.
