Dragon Ball Sparking Zero's Dragon Wishes Explained

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has a seemingly endless amount of content to stream through, and it can certainly be daunting for new players. Developers recognized this concern and have included a dedicated feature to compensate for this. Dragon Wishes not only uses the series' name but is a central part of the development in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

It would almost be strange if Dragon Balls iconic MacGuffins didn't find their way in Kicking Zero. In the same way, it is really natural for their ability to grant wishes to give any number of rewards. Dragon Wishes has a surprising amount of detail to unpack, and understanding the differences will help players progress on their journey to becoming the world's strongest.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's Dragon Wishes Boost Player Progression

Dragon Wishes are a limited resource with huge potential

Dragon Wishes come in three different varieties, and this is perhaps the most important detail to delve into. After all, each host of Dragon Wishes gives different rewards and requires different requirements. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is not an easy game to complete, and while Dragon Wishes can also take time to obtain, they are more than worth the wait.

While Shenron is arguably the most iconic of the Eternal Dragons, he's not the only one in the game. Shenron is flanked by Porunga and Super Shenron, each serving a different purpose. The three dragons do share some desires, but players should still think carefully every time they collect Dragon Balls.

Shenron, Porunga and Super Shenron Dragon Wishes in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

For starters, it's important to recognize the general Dragon Wishes shared between Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron. While they can all grant a certain wish, the extent of the reward can vary greatly. As a rule of thumb, Super Shenron represents the maximum reward players can get, though of course this makes him the hardest to reach.

Dragon Wishes shared by Shenron, Porunga and Super Shenron:

• I want more Zeni (Rewards players with a varying amount of in-game currency to spend in shops)
• I want you to raise my player level (Rewards players with a substantial amount of experience)
• I want more titles (Rewards players with cosmetic titles to use on their player cards)

Dragon Wishes only available to Shenron and Super Shenron:

• I want new clothes (Rewards players with unique outfits exclusive to each dragon)

Dragon Wishes only available to Porunga and Super Shenron:

• I want skill items (Rewards players with a small selection of ability items to use in battle)

Increasing one's player level is a generally positive desire, while the others mostly help to obtain exclusive cosmetics. Nevertheless, “I want more Zeni” perfectly illustrates the difference in rarity. Shenron offers 300,000 Zeni, Porunga offers only 120,000 Zeni, while Super Shenron rewards the player with a whopping 1,000,000 Zeni. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg, as exclusive requests are by far the most enticing rewards in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero hides its best rewards behind exclusive Dragon Wishes

The rarest dragon wishes in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

True to form, Shenron can be considered the least powerful of the wish-granting dragons. Shenron's unique wish, “I want to complete an Episode Battle,” rewards players with a Dragon Orb. Dragon Orbs can be used to more easily beat a battle in the game's story mode, but many players don't necessarily skip even Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerohardest battles.

Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that Porunga's wishes are actually slightly less potent than Shenron's best wishes. This is meant to compensate for Porunga's unique function, which is the ability to satisfy three requests at the same time. This is a simple mechanic, and it's more than rewarding for players who manage to track down Porunga's Dragon Balls.

Players may have a hard time tracking him down, but Super Shenron's Wishes is more than worth the effort. Besides being the most potent in general, his exclusive desire is even more exciting. Super Shenron grants a wish called “I want more characters,” where players can get either Goku Black or Fused Zamasu. This isn't just a fun reference to Dragon Ball Supers Goku Black Arc but also one of the few ways to unlock these incredibly powerful fighters.

Where to find Dragon Balls in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron are all accessed via a different set of Dragon Balls. Just as their desires are different, the requirements to obtain these Dragon Balls also vary. Players who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition will receive Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's Season Pass, as well as a free Shenron Summon. Meanwhile, players who purchased the Digital Ultimate Edition will receive both the Shenron Summon and a free Super Shenron Summon.

After that point, players will have to work hard if they want to collect any given set of Dragon Balls. Dragon Balls will sometimes be obtained as rewards for completing battles, but these drop rates are hardly reliable. Thankfully, players who had early access to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero have already managed to map out most of the best ways to meet this challenge.

Shenron will likely be the first Dragon Wishes players can access, as his Dragon Balls can be easily obtained by completing quests through Whi's stamp book and Zen-Oh's orders. Porunga isn't that easy, as battles seem to be the only way to unlock his set of Dragon Balls. That said, grinding through offline tournaments helps speed up this process. Super Shenron's Super Dragon Balls can be obtained by completing a full walkthrough of Goku's Episode Battles, which ironically makes them the most reliable to obtain.

It is important to remember that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will get DLC, and is therefore still an ongoing game. It's more likely than not that more ways to get Dragon Balls will be released or discovered in the near future. Until then, players should continue to weigh their options and make sure they get the most out of the game's best path for player development.
