To get the most out of the reworked Hero Extermination Plan in DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE, clear all updated stages immediately to claim reset first-time Dragon Stones, unlock the associated Extreme Z-Areas, and farm legacy awakening medals at significantly improved drop rates.
Key Changes in the Event Rework
The revamp streamlines one of the game's earliest recurring events by cutting out map bloat and grouping related awakenings together.
| Feature | Legacy Format | Revamped Format |
|---|---|---|
| Drop Rates | Low, non-guaranteed medal drops | Greatly boosted, reliable drop frequencies |
| Stage Maps | Branching tiles and empty dead ends | Direct, combat-focused linear paths |
| First-Clear Rewards | One-time rewards from original release | Reset Dragon Stones across updated stages |
| Stage Structure | Scattered across dozens of older stages | Consolidated paths grouped by awakening track |
Team Building Rules and Alignment Mandates
You cannot bypass the alignment and typing restrictions on these stages. The event is split into two counterbalancing versions with opposite roster limits:
- Hero Extermination Plan: Requires a team composed entirely of Extreme Class units.
- Hero Extermination Plan: Evil Powers Strike Back: Requires a team composed entirely of Super Class units.
- Rainbow Type Requirement: Specific late-stage battles require your deck to feature all five typings (AGL, TEQ, INT, STR, and PHY). Bringing a mono-type team into these stages invalidates the squad even if all units share the required alignment.
Because the underlying combat was balanced around early Dokkan Battle stat curves, enemy health and damage thresholds remain very low. Run broad category leaders that cover all five types—such as "Worldwide Chaos" for Extreme squads or "Bond of Parent and Child" for Super squads—and prioritize units with multi-attacks or area-of-effect (AoE) Super Attacks to wipe out multi-enemy phases in a single turn.
What to Farm First
Focus your stamina on the units and awakenings tied directly to active content progression rather than grinding every available drop.
- Farm Core Free-to-Play Units: Obtain and awaken Hatchiyack and AGL Whis first. Hatchiyack is a mandatory roster unit for several event-specific Extreme Z-Areas. AGL Whis provides a reliable 100% heal passive whenever your team's HP drops below 30%, making him useful in restricted challenge formats.
- Collect Rebirth Medals for Active EZAs: Check your character box for classic Rebirth (Shattering the Limit) SSRs before spending stamina. Prioritize farming medals for units that currently have active Extreme Z-Awakenings, which elevate older side-banner units into usable options for Ultimate Clash (Battlefield) and Super Battle Road.
- Leave Obsolete Cards Unfarmed: Do not waste stamina gathering medals for legacy SSRs that do not yet have an EZA or a role on your current teams.
Preparing for Hero Extermination Extreme Z-Areas
Clearing the base stages unlocks the corresponding Extreme Z-Areas (EZ-Areas). These challenge stages differ from standard Extreme Z-Battles:
- They cost stamina to enter.
- Support items are prohibited.
- You must assemble your team from a strict list of allowed characters.
- Friend leaders are restricted to preset, mirror support units with modest stat multipliers.
Before entering an EZ-Area, level every required unit to Level 120 and raise their Super Attack to maximum. Invest Hidden Potential orbs into each required character—favoring the Additional Attack node on units with stuns or attack-lowering effects—to ensure your restricted squad can consistently clear the path without relying on support items.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Can you add more details about heroes in a future update?
This saved me time in the early game.
