How To Beat Frieza And Cooler Xenoverse 2
Alright, Dragon Ball fans! Let's talk about those pesky ice-cold tyrants: Frieza and his even cooler (pun intended!) brother, Cooler. We've all been there in Xenoverse 2, sweating bullets, getting our tails kicked by these galactic bullies. But fear not, fellow Time Patrollers! This isn't some super-serious strategy guide. Think of it as a friendly chat over a Senzu Bean, sharing tips and tricks to send these villains packing.
Why should you care about beating Frieza and Cooler? Besides the obvious bragging rights (and trust me, those are worth a lot), these battles are key to progressing in the story and unlocking some sweet gear. Think of it like finally mastering your grandma's secret recipe – the reward is delicious!
Understanding Your Opponents: Know Thy Enemy!
Before we dive into the smackdown, let's understand what makes Frieza and Cooler so tough. They're not just strong; they're also incredibly annoying. Frieza, with his various transformations, can be a real pain to keep up with. It's like trying to catch a greased pig at a county fair – slippery and surprisingly fast!
Must Read
Cooler, on the other hand, is like Frieza but with extra spice. He’s got that fifth form, which is basically the "I win" button for him. He hits harder, is tougher to stagger, and generally makes your life miserable. Imagine facing a slightly more aggressive version of your alarm clock in the morning – unpleasant, right?
Frieza's Tactics: The Golden Opportunity (and How to Avoid It)
Frieza loves to spam those Ki Blasts. He's like that one friend who only knows how to order pizza and nothing else. So, be prepared to dodge, deflect, or absorb them. A well-timed Energy Barrier or a quick Vanish can save your bacon.
His Golden Frieza form is where things get tricky. He gets a significant power boost, and his attacks become much more dangerous. This is where you need to bring your A-game. Don't get greedy with your attacks. Focus on dodging and creating openings. Think of it like waiting for the perfect moment to snag that last donut at the office – patience is key!
Cooler's Brutality: The Fifth Form Frenzy
Cooler's basic attacks are nothing to scoff at, but it's his Fifth Form that's the real threat. He becomes a powerhouse, and his Supernova is practically a one-hit KO. This is where blocking becomes your best friend. Practice your timing, and don't be afraid to use a defensive Super Soul or skill to mitigate the damage. Think of it like bracing yourself for a rogue wave at the beach – preparation is everything!
Building Your Ultimate Frieza/Cooler-Beating Avatar
Now that we know what we're up against, let's talk about building a character that can actually survive (and thrive!) in these battles. There are a few approaches you can take, depending on your playstyle.
The Melee Mayhem Master
If you love getting up close and personal, a melee-focused build can be incredibly effective. Focus on stats like Strike Supers and Basic Attack. Skills like "Meteor Crash," "Dragon Fist," and "Justice Combination" can deal massive damage and break through their defenses. Think of it like being a skilled chef who knows exactly how to dice and slice their way to victory!
A good Super Soul for this build would be something that boosts your attack when your health is low, like "I'll make you regret that!" It's a risky strategy, but the payoff can be huge.
The Ki Blast Barrage Bomber
Prefer to keep your distance? A Ki Blast-focused build might be more your style. Max out your Ki Blast Supers and Ki stats. Skills like "Super Kamehameha," "Special Beam Cannon," and "Galick Gun" can rain down destruction from afar. Imagine yourself as a master archer, raining arrows (or Ki Blasts) on your target!
For a Super Soul, consider something that boosts your Ki Blast damage, like "Before creation comes ruin..." or "Goku's clothes!". These can significantly increase your DPS.
The Balanced Battle Buddy
If you can't decide, a balanced build is always a solid option. Distribute your stats evenly between melee and Ki Blast, and choose skills that complement each other. This build is all about versatility and adaptability. Think of it like being a skilled handyman who can fix anything with the right tools!
A Super Soul that boosts all stats, like "I'll use all my strength to defeat you!" can be a great choice for this build.
Strategies and Tactics: The Nitty-Gritty
Alright, character built, skills equipped. Let's get down to the actual fight. Here are some key strategies to keep in mind:
Specific Skill Recommendations
Here are a few skills that I personally find incredibly useful against Frieza and Cooler:
* Energy Field: Excellent for blocking those pesky Ki Blasts. * Instant Transmission: Perfect for dodging and closing the distance. * Super Guard: For when you just need to turtle up and survive. * Warp Kamehameha: An unpredictable and powerful Ki Blast attack. * Spirit Bomb: Deals huge damage, but takes time to charge. Use it wisely!Final Thoughts: You Got This!
Beating Frieza and Cooler in Xenoverse 2 can be challenging, but it's definitely achievable with the right strategies and a bit of patience. Remember to experiment with different builds, skills, and Super Souls until you find what works best for you. And most importantly, have fun! After all, it's just a game. But a game where you get to punch Frieza in the face. What's not to love?
So, go out there, Time Patrollers, and show those galactic tyrants who's boss! I believe in you! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go train with Whis. Maybe I'll see you in Conton City!
