To get the most out of LR TEQ Super Saiyan Goku ("Birdku") following his Extreme Z-Awakening (EZA) in DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE, place him in Slot 1 as your primary defensive anchor, prioritize Additional Attacks in his Hidden Potential, and plan your team's single revive activation around his kit.
Completing his revival permanently unlocks unconditional guard and consistent 18 Ki Ultra Super Attacks, turning him into a premier shield for difficult late-game stages.
Slot Positioning and Rotation Strategy
Birdku's defensive strength scales from taking hits and unleashing Super Attacks. Choosing where to place him on a turn dictates how safely he can protect the rest of your rotation.
| Slot | Role | Primary Benefit | Key Risk or Drawback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot 1 | Main Tank | Activates on-hit buffs quickly and shields teammates. | Pre-Super defense can be caught before his first hit on Turn 1. |
| Slot 2 | Secondary Attacker | Gains full offensive link uptime and stacks after Super. | Slower passive ramp-up due to fewer incoming attacks. |
| Slot 3 | Floating Utility | Provides revival safety across off-rotations. | Stacks too slowly and underutilizes his high defensive ceiling. |
When facing heavy pre-attack volume from a boss, keep Birdku in Slot 1. Taking that first hit activates his on-hit defensive passive, allowing his guard to soak up subsequent attacks with minimal chip damage.
Hidden Potential and Skill Orb Build
Build Birdku to maximize his defensive stacking and reliability:
- Prioritize Combo Attack (Additionals): Birdku stacks defense on his Super Attacks. Launching multiple Supers in one turn drastically accelerates his defensive ramp-up.
- Invest in Critical Hit as Secondary: Extra Critical Hit investment raises his damage output on 18 Ki Ultra Super Attacks without interfering with his passive.
- Avoid Heavy Dodge Investment: Birdku requires incoming hits to build his passive buffs early in the fight. Investing heavily into Dodge risks dodging attacks needed for his ramp-up.
- Equip Defense and Additional Skill Orbs: Use bronze and silver Skill Orbs that grant flat defense or boost additional attack chance to raise his base stats before passive multipliers apply.
Managing the Revive Skill
Dokkan Battle permits only one revive activation per battle across your entire team. If you bring multiple units with revive skills—such as LR PHY Super Saiyan God Goku or LR INT Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black—you must ensure Birdku takes the lethal blow under the required health threshold if you want his specific post-revive perks.
Once Birdku's revival triggers:
- His guard against all attacks becomes unconditional for the rest of the battle.
- He gains a permanent boost to both ATK and DEF.
- His Ki generation increases, securing consistent 18 Ki Ultra Super Attacks on future turns.
Team Categories and Linking Partners
Birdku fits best under double 200% leader skills on categories such as Movie Heroes, Super Saiyans, Powerful Comeback, and Earth-Bred Fighters.
Pair him with units sharing key Super Saiyan links—specifically Super Saiyan, Prepared for Battle, and Fierce Battle. Strong partners include:
- Carnival LR STR Future Gohan: Shares essential links and handles tough rotations alongside him.
- LR AGL Super Saiyan Goku & Vegeta: Provides strong Ki link synergy and offensive support while letting Birdku absorb front-row damage in Slot 1.
