Unleashing Power: Saiyan Forms in Final Stand Remastered
As a Saiyan in Dragon Ball Z: Final Stand Remastered, your journey is defined by the pursuit of power through iconic transformations. This guide details the various Saiyan forms, their unique attributes, and how to unlock them, helping you master your potential. Saiyans are a versatile race, gaining one stat point for every field per three levels, making them naturally powerful. The game features a total of eight distinct Saiyan forms, offering diverse playstyles and strategic advantages.
A core Saiyan mechanic is "Zenkai," which allows you to heal HP and Ki upon transforming. This ability can be used every two minutes while in base form and resets if you are defeated by an NPC or another player.
Standard Saiyan Transformations
These forms represent the classic progression of Saiyan power, each offering significant boosts.
- Great Ape
- Unlock: Look directly at the Full Moon at its peak.
- Notes: Transforms you into a colossal, monkey-like creature. Gaining control is random but becomes more likely with subsequent transformations. A controlled Great Ape grants a substantial +150 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, and Ki Resistance. While in this form, most skills and flight are disabled, but your basic melee attacks are larger, and ki blasts are replaced with a powerful mouth beam.
- False Super Saiyan
- Unlock: Obtained as a drop from the Lord Slug world boss.
- Notes: The weakest Saiyan form, characterized by a golden aura and deep orange hair. Its primary utility is an automatic "revive" upon death, keeping you in the form for two minutes or until your next defeat. Mastered and Perfected versions enhance the HP/KI restored during this revive. Basic stats include a +30 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, Ki Resistance, and Speed, with higher boosts for Mastered (+38) and Perfected (+45) versions.
- Super Saiyan
- Unlock: Reach Level 50 and pay 5,000 Zeni.
- Notes: The iconic golden-haired transformation. Basic Super Saiyan grants a x1.5 Ki Max multiplier and a +50 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, Ki Resistance, and Speed. Mastered and Perfected versions further increase these stat bonuses.
- Ascended Super Saiyan
- Unlock: Reach Level 65 and pay 5,000 Zeni.
- Notes: A bulkier evolution of Super Saiyan. It provides a x1.5 Ki Max multiplier and a +75 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, and Ki Resistance. However, it comes with a Speed multiplier of x0.5, making you slower. Mastered and Perfected versions offer increased damage and resistance boosts.
- Super Saiyan 2
- Unlock: Reach Level 100 and pay 5,000 Zeni.
- Notes: Features spikier hair and noticeable lightning particle effects. This form offers a x2 Ki Max multiplier and a +100 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, Ki Resistance, and Speed. Mastered and Perfected versions provide even greater stat increases.
- Super Saiyan 3
- Unlock: Reach Level 150 and pay 10,000 Zeni.
- Notes: Known for its dramatically elongated hair and lack of eyebrows. Super Saiyan 3 grants a x3 Ki Max multiplier and a +150 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, Ki Resistance, and Speed. Mastered and Perfected versions push these stats even higher.
- Legendary Super Saiyan
- Unlock: Obtained as a drop from the Frieza world boss. Community claims suggest a 1v1 encounter with Frieza without interruptions increases the drop chance.
- Notes: A bulkier, greener Super Saiyan form. It has the heaviest Ki drain among all forms, effectively limiting its sustained use. This form's defense and damage increase as your HP gets lower. It also adds a green hue to other Super Saiyan forms, which can be toggled off. Basic Legendary Super Saiyan provides a x2.5 Ki Max multiplier and a +200 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, Ki Resistance, and Speed. Mastered and Perfected versions offer substantial additional boosts.
God Ki Transformations
These forms tap into divine energy, offering a different dimension of power.
- Super Saiyan God (SSJG)
- Unlock: Reach Level 270 and pay 50,000 Zeni.
- Notes: This form introduces a separate "God Ki" bar that drains over time while active. Basic Super Saiyan God provides a x2 Ki Max multiplier, a +5 boost to Melee Damage, Ki Damage, Melee Resistance, Ki Resistance, and a +6 boost to Speed. Mastered and Perfected versions offer slightly higher stat increases.
Saiyan Abilities and Strategic Tips
Beyond transformations, Saiyans possess unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle.
- Rage: Unlocked at Level 20 for 10,000 Zeni. This ability sets your Health to 0 and consumes 33% of your total experience (or creates negative experience debt). In return, you become unkillable for 30 seconds, extended to 40 seconds when Mastered and 50 seconds when Perfected. This ability is also available to Majins and Jirens.
- Taunt: This ability causes targeted enemies' defense to drop while their attack increases. This effect does not stack with itself and is also available to Namekians and Jirens.
Tips for Saiyan Players:
- Utilize Zenkai strategically during intense battles against NPCs or players, including in tournaments and ranked 1v1s, to recover HP and Ki.
- The Great Ape transformation can be a powerful tool for overcoming strong NPCs that are otherwise difficult to defeat.
