Dragon Ball FighterZ Guide: How To Block And Use Attacks Effectively
First up, the default controls. Here they are.
- Light attack – Square/X
- Medium attack – Triangle/Y
- Heavy attack – Circle/B
- Special attack – Cross/A
- Z assist 1 – Left bumper
- Z assist 2 – Left trigger
- Change character – Hold left trigger
- Dragon Rush – Right bumper/Light + medium attack buttons
- Super Dash – Right trigger/Heavy + special attack buttons
- Ki Charge – Light + special attack buttons (Square/X + Cross/A)
- Vanish – Medium + heavy attack buttons (Triangle/Y + Circle/B)
As you can see, there is more than one way to perform a super move. There are also two assist moves. You can use both of these to call out your first or second teammate to temporarily help you out in the battle. These Z assist moves call in quickly one of your teammates to have a single shot at your opponent before going back. This is different from the change character button where you just switch characters.
How to Block Attacks
Now, how to block? This is actually difficult mainly because you need to time the block perfectly. Use the left analog stick and press backwards to block a normal attack or back and downwards to block a low attack. Timing is very important here. You need to execute the block the same time as your opponent tries to hit you. There is a tutorial mission for blocking so play it.
These are some of the basic ways to master this game. It is highly recommended to master these aspects before moving on to the more flashier Super Moves of the characters. For that, we have a whole separate guide so do check that out. That’s all about Dragon Ball FighterZ how to block and use attacks effectively.
