I hope you learned something new in this video and I hope it was helpful for you :) If you have any other topics you want me to cover, let me know!

[@TrueHookahKing]

I am trying to get Team Bardock team put together to try out. However, in order for me to get Grand Opening LR Bardock I need potential unlocked all the team bardock characters from that particular event which means they need to be Dokkan Awakened. I already messed up and Dokkan Awakened my STR Bardock and now I might be screwed. Since the awakening medals were given to me as a mission cleared reward. Will I still be able to get the awakening medals for the STR Bardock if I invest in the potential orbs, or should I just abandon this all togther?

[@WafflesTheAsianYenbear]

@@TrueHookahKing ah okay so a couple things there You can still put the orbs in the dokkan awakened version, but you can't unlock the paths. However, you can do a reverse dokkan awakening (the hourglass item) to bring it back to before you dokkan awakened it. Then, you can unlock the paths, and undo the reversal. It keeps the changes you made when it goes back to normal. You will not be able to get more of those awakening medals, but reversing should help you complete it :)

[@TrueHookahKing]

@@WafflesTheAsianYenbear thank you. So just to make sure I understand this correctly, if I reverse Dokkan awaken him with the hour glass, I can undo that reversal and get him to be full dokkan awakened again?

[@Kahoona0620]

hi, i've seen some youtubers do 8aa 15crit and 3dodge instead of 11/15/0, so is the 3 dodge recommended or not, or is it for certain characters the 3 dodge would be better?

[@WafflesTheAsianYenbear]

3 dodge is not optimal on any unit that doesn't benefit more from full dodge - the reason some youtubers do it is so they still have a small chance to dodge which can sometimes come in handy. However, that's rare and more superstition than actually better overall. You could also just use skill orbs now for that 3 dodge if you want it c:

If you have dupes of a unit you want to raindow can you just unlock the paths right away with the dupes when their at lv 1 or do they have to have like a sp attack 10 to get the most out the unit your raindowing.

[@WafflesTheAsianYenbear]

Edit my phrasing: you just need them to be awakened to ur c: other than that, it doesn’t matter. To add orbs to the bottom right path, you’ll need certain super attack levels

If I’m understanding correctly, you’re worried that if you don’t have hourglasses, you won’t be able to bring your vegito back to lr? If so, you don’t need to worry. Hourglass is just to bring it from lr down to ur. Bringing them back up to lr after that doesn’t cost any hourglasses

Tyler So you’ll get different opinions on that depending on who you ask. He stacks defense on super so you could go additional attacks. However, he’s also ridiculously strong and shouldn’t have trouble stacking in long events anyways. I’d say crit, but you could go aa if you want him to stack faster (If it helps, apt calcs say 15 crit 11 aa)

my mui goku agl have 70% dodge if I gave him 30% dodge from hidden potential is it become 100%??

[@WafflesTheAsianYenbear]

Nope! Hidden potential calculates as a second check (same with crit and additional attacks). You'd have the 70% and then another check for 30% if you failed the first one That's why adding more dodge on characters like AGL UI Goku is bad

Lets say a character has a medium chance of evasion should I add evasion to increase chance ot just let it be

[@WafflesTheAsianYenbear]

I would just let it be. The chances in passive skills and hidden potential don’t stack, but are instead treated as two independent probabilities. If it’s a unit that isn’t going to be doing much damage anyways, sure you could, but in general I wouldn’t add evasion on top if it’s built in
