When creating these fights, you can tweak plenty of details to make the fights as imaginative as possible. Let’s take a look at how you can create these battles inside Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

How to create custom battles in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

Custom battles can be created from the dedicated option with the same name. You can access it from Dragon Ball Sparking Zero’s Main Menu. Custom battles are of three different types:

  • Simple
  • Normal
  • Copy

Once you select the custom battle type, you can then choose from the following prompt.

  • Thrilling battles with last-minute comebacks
  • Battles with the odds stacked against me
  • Exciting team battles
  • One-on-one duels to the finish
  • Battles against overwhelmingly powerful opponents.

Once you choose a prompt, the custom battle type will be created. Let’s take a detailed look at all three battle types available in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

Additionally, you can also share your custom battles in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero from the World Library. Anyone who downloads your battles will be able to rate it with likes. If you can gain enough likes from the community, you will receive Master Titles and a Player Card to win.
