To run LR TEQ Metal Cooler Army effectively in DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE, place the unit strictly in Slot 2 or Slot 3 within an Extreme-class team. The unit relies on attacking first to build defensive stats and unleash high-damage multi-attacks, making Slot 1 dangerous in difficult stages.
Slot Positioning and Defensive Strategy
LR TEQ Metal Cooler Army has a significant gap between pre-attack and post-attack defense. Before attacking, the unit lacks the raw damage reduction or defensive numbers required to survive early enemy Super Attacks. Once the unit launches an attack, its defense increases enough to handle normal hits and moderate area-of-effect damage.
| Position | Recommendation | Strategic Function |
|---|---|---|
| Slot 1 | Avoid | Pre-attack defense is too low to safely absorb hits or enemy Super Attacks. |
| Slot 2 | Primary Choice | Allows a dedicated defensive unit to absorb initial hits while activating links and post-attack buffs. |
| Slot 3 | Viable Alternative | Floats the unit safely to deal burst damage when incoming attacks are heavily frontloaded. |
If enemy attacks are concentrated before your first action, float the unit to Slot 3 to protect team health. Keep the unit in Slot 2 when paired with a reliable Slot 1 partner who can absorb opening strikes.
Team Compositions and Leader Skills
LR TEQ Metal Cooler Army requires an Extreme-class setup to access required Ki and category stat multipliers. Pairing this unit with Super-class allies results in severe Ki starvation.
Target 170% to 200% leader skills across three primary categories:
- Wicked Bloodline: The ideal team build. Leaders like LR STR Cooler or LR AGL Full Power Frieza provide comprehensive stat coverage and natural slot-one shielding.
- Space-Traveling Warriors: Offers broad villain synergy and access to support floaters that supply passives and Ki.
- Corroded Body and Mind: Provides an alternate Extreme-class framework, though partner options are more restricted.
Ensure the team includes support floaters that supply Ki or passive defense to help reach the 24-Ki threshold for the unit's Ultra Super Attack.
Best Linking Partners
Activating attack and defense links is essential for the unit to survive and deal heavy damage. Prioritize leveling links to Rank 10, particularly Big Bad Bosses, which removes the HP restriction and grants an unconditional stat boost. Key shared links include Big Bad Bosses, Thirst for Conquest, and Nightmare.
Top linking partners include:
- LR STR Cooler: Shares key offensive links, strong category overlap, and high offensive momentum.
- AGL Metal Cooler (EZA): Shares core links and activates passive healing mechanics.
- PHY Metal Cooler: Provides revival mechanics and HP restoration, stabilizing team survival while TEQ Metal Cooler Army deals damage.
Hidden Potential and Skill Orbs
Focus the unit's build on multiple attacks to accelerate defensive stat boosts and trigger extra damage checks.
- Additional Attack (Primary): Invest primarily in Additional Attack nodes. Extra Super Attacks raise the unit's defense further and maximize damage output.
- Critical Hit (Secondary): Place remaining points into Critical Hit to bypass enemy defense and damage reduction.
- Skill Orbs: Equip bronze and silver Skill Orbs granting raw Defense and Additional Attack levels. Flat defense upgrades scale directly with post-Super Attack multipliers.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
The tips are practical and easy to follow.
This saved me time in the early game.
