How To Get Attribute Points In Xenoverse 2

Okay, picture this: I'm locked in this epic battle with Super Saiyan Blue Goku, right? I'm dodging, weaving, and even pulling off a few fancy combos (which, let's be honest, were mostly button mashing). But then... BAM! One Super Kamehameha later, and I'm flat on my back. My Saiyan Pride? Shattered. My ego? Bruised. My attribute points? Clearly not invested wisely. And that, my friends, is when I realized I needed to get SERIOUS about leveling up in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

So, you're probably here because you're tired of getting one-shotted by villains who look like they've been hitting the gym harder than Vegeta. Or maybe you just want to finally unlock that sweet transformation you've been drooling over. Whatever your reason, you've come to the right place! Let's dive into the glorious, sometimes grindy, world of getting those precious attribute points in Xenoverse 2.

The Fundamentals: Leveling Up and Beyond

First things first, let's cover the basics. You get attribute points every time you level up. Duh, right? But how DO you level up? That's the golden question, isn't it?

Earning Experience Points (XP)

XP is your best friend in Xenoverse 2. Think of it as delicious, power-boosting candy that makes your character stronger. (Except, you know, without the cavities.) There are several ways to earn this precious XP:

• Completing Story Missions: This is the main course, folks. Blast through the main story and you'll be swimming in XP. Plus, you get to relive all those classic Dragon Ball moments. Who doesn't love yelling "Kamehameha" at their TV? (I know I do… don't judge).
• Parallel Quests (PQs): These are your side quests, your daily grind, your bread and butter. They offer a variety of challenges and rewards, and some are incredibly efficient for leveling up. (More on the best ones later!)
• Expert Missions: These are tougher than PQs, designed for higher-level players, but the rewards are worth it. Think of them as the "boss battles" of the PQ world. Plus, the teamwork aspect can be super fun!
• Training with Masters: Find a master you like (Piccolo? Vegeta? Beerus? The choice is yours!) and complete their training. You'll earn XP, new skills, and a cool sensei-student bond (even if Vegeta's a bit of a jerk).
• Time Patrol: Doing Time Patrol missions and correcting historical errors can also net you some solid XP and story progression.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for events! Bandai Namco often runs events that offer bonus XP, making the grind a whole lot easier. Check the news board in Conton City regularly! You don't want to miss out on double XP! It's like a Black Friday sale... for power!

Raising Your Level Cap

Okay, so you've been grinding like crazy, but you're stuck at level 80? Annoying, right? Don't worry, there's a way to break through that level cap. You need to complete Guru's quests on Namek.

Guru's house will be marked on the map. He will send you on missions to defend the Namekians from Frieza's army. By completing his missions, you'll progressively get higher level caps. At the end, you'll be able to get to level 99. Note: Guru's house can get attacked repeatedly by villains. Don't despair; keep returning to it after each completed quest or two, and you'll always be able to continue.

Important Note: You need to be at certain levels to be able to raise your level cap with Guru. If you arrive too early, he will send you back. So, level up until you meet the required level.

The Nitty-Gritty: Efficient Leveling Strategies

Alright, now for the good stuff. We've covered the basics, but let's talk about how to level up efficiently. Because let's be real, nobody wants to spend their entire life grinding in Xenoverse 2. (Unless you really like grinding... in which case, no judgment!)

PQ Grinding Hotspots

Some Parallel Quests are just plain better for XP grinding than others. Here are a few fan favorites:

• PQ 83: "Evil Impulse": This quest is legendary for its sheer speed and XP payout. You fight a bunch of powered-up enemies in a relatively small arena. It's quick, it's easy, and it's XP galore.
• PQ 4: "Prepare for the Attack of the Saiyans!": This early-game quest is surprisingly effective, especially for lower-level characters. It's simple, straightforward, and a great way to get your feet wet.
• Extra Pack 2 PQ 122: "Partner(s)": After purchasing the Extra Pack 2 DLC, this is another popular choice for fast leveling.

The Key to Efficiency: It's not just about which quest you choose, but how you approach it. Optimize your character build for maximum damage output. Use skills that are quick to execute and deal high damage. Bring along AI partners who can hold their own (and maybe even revive you when you inevitably mess up). The faster you complete the quest, the more XP you'll earn per hour.

Exploiting Experience-Boosting Items

Did you know there are items that can actually boost your XP gains? Mind. Blown. These items can be found, earned, or purchased, and they can make a significant difference in your leveling speed.

• Super Souls: Some Super Souls have the effect of boosting experience points gained during quests. Find the Super Soul that best fits your playstyle and use it to enhance your XP gains.
• Mixing Items: Some items, when mixed, may create items with experience-boosting effects. Explore the mixing options to discover these recipes.
• TP Medal Shop: From time to time, the TP Medal Shop will offer items that boost experience gains. Check the shop regularly for these items and stock up when they're available.

Don't Neglect Your QQ Bangs: While not directly experience-boosting, a good QQ Bang can drastically improve your character's stats, allowing you to complete quests faster and more efficiently. A faster quest clear time equals more XP per hour!

Spending Your Attribute Points: A Word of Caution

Okay, you've got a mountain of attribute points burning a hole in your pocket. Time to become the ultimate warrior, right? Not so fast! How you spend your attribute points is just as important as earning them. There's no point in racking up tons of points if you don't know how to use them wisely!

Understanding the Stats

Each attribute governs a different aspect of your character's abilities. Here's a quick rundown:

• Health (HP): Determines how much damage you can take before biting the dust.
• Ki: Used to perform special attacks. More Ki means you can spam those Kamehamehas!
• Stamina: Used for dodging, dashing, and blocking. Run out of stamina, and you're a sitting duck!
• Basic Attack: Affects the damage of your basic punches, kicks, and combos.
• Strike Supers: Boosts the damage of your Strike Super attacks (think punches, kicks, and close-combat moves).
• Ki Blast Supers: Increases the damage of your Ki Blast Super attacks (like Kamehamehas and Galick Guns).

Finding Your Playstyle

There's no one "right" way to spend your attribute points. It all depends on your playstyle. Do you like to get up close and personal with melee combos? Focus on Basic Attack and Strike Supers. Prefer to snipe enemies from afar with powerful Ki blasts? Then invest heavily in Ki Blast Supers and Ki.

Experiment! Don't be afraid to try different builds and see what works best for you. You can always reset your attribute points using Dragon Balls (more on that later!).

Common Attribute Point Builds

Here are a few popular attribute point builds to get you started:

• The Ki Blast Spam Build: Max out Ki, Ki Blast Supers, and a bit in Stamina. Rain down Ki blasts from a distance and watch your enemies crumble.
• The Melee Master Build: Focus on Basic Attack, Strike Supers, and Health. Get up close and personal and unleash a flurry of devastating combos.
• The Balanced Build: Distribute your points evenly across all stats. This is a good option for beginners who are still figuring out their playstyle.
• The Tank Build: Max out Health, Stamina, and then split the rest into Basic Attack and either Strike or Ki Blast Supers, depending on what supers you use. This build allows you to survive a lot and get up close and personal.

Don't Forget Your Race! Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses. Saiyans, for example, excel at combat, while Namekians have higher health regeneration. Take your race's natural tendencies into account when planning your build.

The Ultimate Reset: Dragon Balls and Attribute Point Resets

Made a mistake with your attribute point allocation? Regret putting all your points into Stamina? Don't despair! There's a way to completely reset your attribute points using the Dragon Balls!

Gathering the Dragon Balls

Finding the seven Dragon Balls is a bit of a scavenger hunt, but it's worth it for the ability to reshape your character's destiny. The easiest way to obtain the Dragon Balls is to repeatedly complete PQ 4, "Prepare for the Attack of the Saiyans!", and defeat the Time Patrollers that appear. Time Patrollers have a chance to drop a Dragon Ball each time they are defeated.

Making Your Wish

Once you've collected all seven Dragon Balls, summon Shenron and make your wish! One of the available wishes is to "I want to redo my stats!". Choose this wish, and Shenron will reset your attribute points, giving you a clean slate to work with.

It's a Grind, But Worth It: Gathering the Dragon Balls can be a bit time-consuming, but the ability to completely respec your character is invaluable. It allows you to experiment with different builds and adapt to new challenges.

Final Thoughts: Level Up Your Game!

Getting attribute points in Xenoverse 2 is a journey, not a destination. It requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to experiment. But with the right strategies and a little bit of luck (and maybe a few Senzu Beans), you'll be well on your way to becoming the ultimate warrior in Conton City. Now go forth, level up, and show those villains what you're made of!

And remember, it's just a game! Have fun, experiment with different builds, and don't take yourself too seriously. Unless you're fighting Super Saiyan Blue Goku... then things get REAL.
