To acquire and effectively use the Dragon Ball crossover mythics in Fortnite, intercept Capsule Corp deliveries across the island and pair the Nimbus Cloud's mobility with the Kamehameha's structure-piercing beam. The Nimbus Cloud provides instant disengagement, while the Kamehameha shreds defensive boxes from mid-range.
Where to Find Capsule Corp Deliveries and Mythics
During Dragon Ball collaboration matches, Capsule Corp deliveries serve as the main source for both items:
- Capsule Corp Drops: As the storm forms throughout the match, orange capsule icons appear on the mini-map and overhead. These capsules fall slowly with visible contrails and drop both a Kamehameha and a Nimbus Cloud when opened.
- Dragon Ball Vending Machines: Located at select named locations, these machines sell the mythics in exchange for Gold Bars.
- Kame House Island: Players can visit this offshore landmark to purchase the items directly with Gold Bars.
Because falling capsules broadcast their positions to the entire lobby, secure high ground near the landing zone before approaching the drop rather than waiting directly beneath it.
Kamehameha Mechanics and Firing Phases
The Kamehameha fires an energy beam that cuts directly through wood, brick, and metal player structures while dealing rapid, continuous damage ticks. The item has limited charges per inventory slot.
Activating the weapon locks your character into distinct phases:
| Phase | Character State | Tactical Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Wind-Up (3 Seconds) | Suspended stationary in mid-air | Emits a loud audio cue; leaves you completely open to sniper and rifle fire |
| Beam Active | Slow horizontal and vertical aim tracking | Melts builds instantly; requires leading moving targets rather than snapping |
| Recovery | Drops to the ground with brief recovery delay | Must seek immediate cover or switch to a close-range weapon |
Because turn speed slows down while firing, do not aim directly at a sprinting player's current position. Sweep the beam smoothly along their escape path or aim into solid geometry to catch them in splash damage.
How to Use the Nimbus Cloud
The Nimbus Cloud acts as an on-demand escape and repositioning tool. Activating it launches your character high into the sky and automatically deploys the cloud as a glider.
- Instant Launch: The cloud triggers instantly from standing, running, or sliding positions without requiring a launch pad or rift.
- Repositioning: Use the launch to escape the storm, disengage from messy third-party skirmishes, or claim high ground on cliffs and roofs.
- Cooldown Management: The item incurs an internal cooldown after landing. Always land on stable, defensible terrain where you can wait for the cooldown to reset.
Combat Combos and Turtling Counters
The Kamehameha completely negates turbo-building, making it the premier counter against turtling players who box up to heal:
- Keep Distance: Maintain a spacing of 15 to 25 meters before firing so the opponent cannot edit a wall and counter with a shotgun during your wind-up.
- Target Box Foundations: Aim at the floor tiles and structural joints supporting the box. Collapsing the base destroys attached ramps and leaves the target without cover.
- The Aerial Drop Combo: Launch upward with the Nimbus Cloud, cancel the glide directly above an opponent's roof, and immediately activate the Kamehameha looking straight down to bypass horizontal walls.
How to Counter an Enemy Kamehameha
Do not attempt to out-build an incoming Kamehameha. The energy beam burns through freshly built walls almost instantly and will eliminate players attempting to hold turbo-builds.
- Punish the Stationary Wind-Up: When an enemy begins the three-second charge vocalization in your line of sight, do not run. Aim for their head with an assault rifle, DMR, or sniper rifle while they hang motionless in the air.
- Use Indestructible Terrain: If you do not have a clear shot to eliminate the user before the beam fires, sprint perpendicular to the beam's direction and break line of sight behind natural hills, cliffs, or indestructible environment structures.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
