To maximize STR 2nd Form Cell after his Extreme Z-Awakening (EZA) in DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE, place him in the second slot of your rotation under a 170% or 200% category leader. Pair him with other Cell-family units and raise his key shared links to Level 10 so he can consistently launch Super Attacks and build his defensive stats.
Link Level Priorities
STR 2nd Form Cell relies heavily on link synergy to maintain his stat boosts and Ki consistency. Raising his links to Level 10 provides significant offensive and defensive stat percentages that are not fully realized at lower levels.
Focus on upgrading these specific links:
- Big Bad Bosses: Delivers major offensive and defensive stat increases when maxed out.
- Messenger from the Future: Adds critical stat percentage boosts alongside key category partners.
Upgrading these links reduces Ki issues and ensures Cell reaches the 12-Ki threshold required to fire off Super Attacks regularly in high-difficulty content.
Rotation Placement and Defensive Management
Treat EZA STR 2nd Form Cell as a support-tank hybrid rather than a primary slot-one tank. Because his overall durability depends on performing Super Attacks to stack his defensive stats, placing him in the first slot before he attacks leaves him vulnerable to severe damage.
- Slot 2 Placement: Keep Cell in the center position. This allows a dedicated slot-one partner to absorb initial attacks while Cell benefits from link activation and builds defense after attacking.
- Ki Dependency: Ensure Cell reaches 12 Ki every turn. Failing to trigger his Super Attack prevents his defensive mechanics from building up, causing his overall reliability to drop.
- Mitigation Strategy: In events with high front-loaded damage or unfavorable type matchups, rotate Cell out of dense attack clusters or activate a defensive item until his stats are established.
Team Building Guidelines
To activate Cell's passive secondary effects and maximize link uptime, build your roster around compatible category leaders and support partners.
| Team Element | Recommended Setup | Primary Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Category Leader | 170% or 200% leader for "Android/Cell Saga" or "Artificial Life Forms" | Provides the essential base HP, ATK, and DEF multipliers. |
| Linking Partner | Perfect Cell or 2nd Form Cell variants | Triggers core link skills like Big Bad Bosses and Messenger from the Future. |
| Support Units | Float units providing Ki +2 or +3 support | Guarantees Cell reaches the 12-Ki threshold needed for his defensive Super Attack. |

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This helped me understand strategy much better.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
