DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE: Beast Gohan Climax Battle Guide

To clear high-difficulty Climax Battles without defensive support items in DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE, anchor your main rotation around STR LR Beast Gohan in slot one. Gohan absorbs early incoming attacks to build his passive defenses naturally, while his Active Skill taunt redirects lethal multi-attack boss turns away from vulnerable allies.

Slot-One Defense and Early Stacking

Place LR Beast Gohan in slot one from the opening turn of the battle. In late-game encounters, early boss normal attacks and untelegraphed Super Attacks can end an attempt before setup units have built their defense. Beast Gohan counters this with immediate start-of-turn defensive stats and innate damage reduction, removing the need for defensive items like Whis or Icarus.

• Absorb opening attacks: Put Gohan directly in the path of the heaviest enemy attack clusters to activate his on-hit passive buffs as early as possible.
• Stabilize team health: Because Gohan absorbs the initial damage spike, your health bar remains high, preventing fragile slot-two and slot-three attackers from taking fatal hits before attacking.
• Prioritize survival over links: If your initial rotation lacks strong link synergy, prioritize keeping Gohan in slot one rather than shifting him to align link skills.

Timing the Active Skill Taunt

Beast Gohan's Active Skill functions as a target-redirection taunt that forces every enemy action across the entire turn to strike Gohan instead of your other units. This mechanic provides full team protection without consuming a Ghost Usher or defensive damage-reduction item.

Save the taunt for specific high-threat scenarios:

1. Final boss forms: Hold the skill through early phases and deploy it when the boss transitions into their hardest-hitting phase.
2. Dense back-row barrages: Activate the taunt when attack indicators show concentrated attacks or potential Super Attacks targeted at slot two or slot three.
3. Protecting offensive linkers: Use the redirection turn to let high-damage allies attack freely from secondary slots without risking fatal counter-damage.

Rotation Setup and Ki Sphere Allocation

Keep Beast Gohan on main rotation throughout the fight. Floating him to slot three leaves your team without his defensive shield every third turn, exposing weaker units to unmitigated damage.

Manage the Ki sphere board to ensure Gohan consistently reaches his 24-Ki Ultra Super Attack threshold. Reaching maximum Ki optimizes both his damage output and his supplementary defensive raises on attack.

Phase Transitions and No-Item Constraints

Climax Battles typically lock out status debuffs such as stuns, seals, and attack lowering. Without items to patch sudden health drops, manage your pace and board positioning carefully:

• Eliminate phases decisively: Avoid prolonging early phases to minimize the risk of unfavorable Ki boards. Push Gohan's burst damage to end phases quickly once his passive buffs are established.
• Pre-align rotations for phase shifts: Track boss health bars and arrange your turns so Beast Gohan enters a new, harder boss phase on turn one rather than leaving your off-rotation units to face the opening volley.
• Prepare the off-turn rotation: Because Gohan only appears every other turn, your secondary rotation must include self-sufficient defensive tanks capable of handling normal hits without support items.
• Recover HP via Ki spheres: In the absence of healing items, rely on same-type Ki spheres collected by high-defense units and designated passive healing skills to sustain your team's total HP pool.
