To solo Dragon Ball dungeons and high-difficulty portals in Portal Defense, place basic Goku or Vegeta units during early waves to stall incoming mobs, save your gold until you reach the threshold to summon Vegito, and then shift all subsequent resource investment exclusively into Vegito.
Early-Wave Defense and Gold Management
Soloing dungeon content requires strict income management because you lack team redundancy to cover leaked enemies.
- Deploy basic early units: Place a basic Goku or Vegeta near the start of the lane. Their base kits provide sufficient attack speed and damage to clear the initial waves of fodder mobs during the opening minutes.
- Limit structure expansion: Avoid buying additional secondary towers. Every gold piece spent on low-tier utility units delays your carry deployment.
- Upgrade existing range or attack speed: If early waves push past your defensive line before you reach your gold target, upgrade the stats of your active Goku or Vegeta unit instead of placing new structures.
Deploying and Upgrading Vegito
Vegito serves as your primary offensive carry, providing the raw single-target burst and area-of-effect damage necessary to clear dungeon bosses and dense mob clusters without team support.
- Summon timing: As soon as your gold reaches the summoning threshold, deploy Vegito near your primary path coverage.
- Resource consolidation: Stop investing gold into Goku, Vegeta, or secondary support units once Vegito is active.
- Skill prioritization: Allocate all remaining gold into leveling Vegito's attack and damage-scaling abilities so his stats keep pace with rising mob health pools.
Lane Positioning and Ability Timing
Positioning and active ability management determine whether your solo defense survives late-game boss waves.
- Chokepoint placement: Position main damage units near the center of the lane where their range covers the widest section of the portal entrance. This maximizes continuous attack uptime as waves spawn.
- Cooldown preservation: Do not activate ultimate abilities on small or isolated enemy groups. Hold high-damage cooldowns until elite mobs or the dungeon boss enter range, or when wave density threatens to break your line.
Strategic Risks and Limitations
Failing to balance early spending against late-game scaling is the main failure point of a solo Vegito strategy.
- Early backline vulnerability: Because resources are funneled into a single character, early mistimed gold spending leaves your base without secondary backup.
- Single-carry reliance: A solo setup depends entirely on maintaining Vegito's upgrade curve. If mob health scaling outpaces his stats due to poor gold pacing, your perimeter will collapse without co-op allies to split the defensive load.

This helped me understand early game much better.
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 early game in a future update?
