I am a huge fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, so I was more than happy to get my hands on the Dragon Ball Legends game. Being able to assemble a team of iconic characters from the Dragon Ball universe and unleash their powerful techniques in 3D battles is something every fan of the anime has to try. But I must admit I was a bit lost, as there are so many options when it comes to choosing fighters. To make your gameplay easier, I've created a Dragon Ball Legends tier list with the best characters, so you know who to play.
DB Legends Tier List - Best Characters Ranked
Best Characters in Dragon Ball Legends (S+ Tier)
These S+ Dragon Ball Legends fighters are your heavy hitters. They pair well with many team combinations and are equipped with the highest base stats in the game, giving them advantages at any point during a match. These rare fighters are the best in the game by far, which is why they're at the top of our DB Legends tier list.

S Tier
The S tier contains excellent options for building a team in Dragon Ball Legends. While they may not seem as attractive as the ones we've listed above, these characters are considered among the best in the game and can sometimes hold their own against higher-tier characters. Their stats will provide a solid anchor to your team, and they mesh well with most units.

B Tier
The unsung heroes of your team. These fighters won't take over the match for you, but they are useful in team-building. While they lack stats and characteristics to make them upper-echelon characters, they are powerful in varying situations. If your tactics and strategy are on point, these middle-of-the-pack fighters can swing the match in your favor.

C Tier
If these fighters are on your team, you are likely in the early stages of the game, or you are brilliant in your strategies. In the C tier, for a reason, these characters aren't much of a threat unless you are a highly skilled player. If able, you're better off opting for fighters in the tiers above when building a truly threatening team.

D Tier
Viable options early in the Dragon Ball Legends. These fighters shouldn't be considered for long-term solutions on your team, but they're useful in the beginning. As you progress, look to replace them with more powerful characters.
- Captain Ginyu (SP)
- Goku (SP) (BLU) (Kaioken)

F Tier
Among the worst-of-the-worst options and the easiest to acquire in Dragon Ball Legends. These are old characters who don't belong in your lineup unless you're just beginning the game. Unless you strive to collect some of these characters, or you're looking for an immense challenge, you're better with anything else.
