How To Get Boost Attributes In Xenoverse 2

Okay, so picture this: I'm battling Expert Mission 17, that blasted Kid Buu, right? My Ki Blasts are doing, like, tickle damage. I'm dodging, weaving, chugging Senzu Beans like they're going out of style... and then BAM! I get one-shotted. One. Single. Shot. I swear, I nearly threw my controller. That's when I realized, staring at the "Game Over" screen for the millionth time, that I needed some serious help. And that help, my friends, comes in the form of Boost Attributes.
Let's be honest, we've all been there. Feeling like your character is made of paper mache against bosses that laugh at your puny attacks. It's frustrating, I know. But don't worry! This isn't some impossible feat requiring cheat codes or selling your soul to Shenron. It's all about understanding how the attribute system works in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and exploiting it (in a totally legal and in-game way, of course).
So, you're probably thinking, "Boost Attributes? Sounds complicated!" And, well, it can be a little confusing at first. But trust me, once you get the hang of it, you'll be blasting through those Expert Missions and PvP matches like never before. Ready to level up your game? (Pun intended!)

Understanding the Basics: Stats & Attributes
Before we dive into the boosting specifics, let's quickly recap what exactly we're talking about. Your character has a bunch of stats, and these stats determine how effective you are in combat. We're talking about things like:
- Health (HP): Pretty self-explanatory. How much damage you can take before biting the dust.
- Ki: Your energy bar for using Ki-based skills. More Ki means more Super Attacks!
- Stamina: Used for dodging, vanishing, and stamina breaks. Don't run out!
- Basic Attack: Your bread-and-butter punches, kicks, and Ki Blasts.
- Strike Supers: Damage dealt by Strike skills.
- Ki Blast Supers: Damage dealt by Ki Blast skills.
These stats can be influenced by a few things: your character's race, their level, and, most importantly for our purposes, Attribute Points. Think of these points as little sprinkles of awesome you can add to your character to make them stronger. And this is where Boost Attributes come in! They allow you to redistribute these points to maximize your character's potential. Think of it as a customizable power-up! (Except you get to choose where the power goes.)
The Dragon Balls: Your Key to Boosting
Alright, here's the fun part! To get those sweet, sweet Boost Attributes, you're going to need to gather the Dragon Balls. Yes, the actual Dragon Balls from the show! Don't worry, you don't have to search the entire planet (thank goodness!). Instead, you'll be participating in Parallel Quests.
How to Farm Dragon Balls
Okay, so which Parallel Quest is the best for farming Dragon Balls? The general consensus (and my personal experience) points to Parallel Quest "PQ 04: Prepare for the Attack of the Saiyans!" Here's why:

- It's relatively short: You can clear this quest in a few minutes, even solo.
- Easy to trigger the Time Patroller: The Time Patroller is the key to getting Dragon Balls.
- Low difficulty: You don't need to be super powerful to complete it.
So, how do you actually get the Dragon Balls in PQ 04? Here's the breakdown:
- Start the quest.
- Defeat Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien.
- LOOK AROUND: After defeating the initial trio, pay attention to the messages that pop up on screen. You're looking for the message that says "A Time Patroller has appeared!" This is your golden ticket!
- Find and defeat the Time Patroller: Once you see that message, the Time Patroller will spawn somewhere in the map. Usually it's nearby where you fought Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien. Search for them and quickly defeat them. Warning: Time Patrollers can be quite strong for their level! They can be a threat, specially at low levels. Be sure to bring a strong character.
- Check the drops: After defeating the Time Patroller, they will drop items. Sometimes they drop a Material Item, sometimes they drop a Key Item. If they drop a Material Item, quit and restart the quest. If they drop a Key Item, congratulations, it’s a Dragon Ball!
- Repeat until you have all seven Dragon Balls!
Important Tips for Dragon Ball Farming:
- Bring a strong partner (or three): While PQ 04 is easy, having strong partners will speed things up considerably. Plus, it's more fun!
- Equip the "I've got something I can use!" Super Soul: This Super Soul increases the chance of item drops, including Dragon Balls. You can get it from the TP Medal Shop. (Seriously, TP Medals are your best friend in this game.)
- Patience is key: Dragon Ball farming can be a bit grindy, so don't get discouraged if you don't get one every time. Just keep at it!
- Consider other PQs: While PQ 04 is generally considered the best, some players prefer other quests like PQ 23 or PQ 79. Experiment and see what works best for you!
Side Note: I remember spending hours farming Dragon Balls, and it felt like I was going insane. But trust me, the payoff is worth it!
Summoning Shenron and Making Your Wish
Alright, you've got all seven Dragon Balls! Now what? Head to the Dragon Ball Pedestal in Conton City. It's located near the World Tournament Arena. Interact with it, and Shenron will appear! (Cue dramatic music!)

Shenron will offer you a list of wishes. Scroll down and choose the one that says "I want to grow more!" This is the wish that grants you Boost Attributes! (Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for!). After you make the wish, Shenron will disappear, leaving you with the ability to reset your attribute points.
Resetting and Reallocating Your Attribute Points
Once you've made your wish, head to Guru's House on the Namekian continent. (You might have to do some Namekian quests to unlock this area). Talk to the Namekian Elder and he will give you the chance to reset your attribute points.
Now comes the fun part: reallocating your attribute points to create your perfect build! There are so many possibilities, but here are a few common strategies:
Popular Attribute Builds
- The Glass Cannon: Max out your Ki Blast Supers or Strike Supers, depending on your preferred play style. Sacrifice HP and other stats for maximum damage output. (Risky, but rewarding!)
- The Tank: Focus on HP and Stamina to become a damage-soaking machine. Difficult to take down! (Great for PVE!)
- The Balanced Build: A mix of HP, Ki, Stamina, and damage stats. A good all-around build that can handle most situations. (The safest pick!)
- The Ki/Stamina Regen Build: Invest heavily in Ki and Stamina, and use skills and Super Souls that regenerate them quickly. Never run out of energy!
Tips for Choosing Your Build
- Consider your race: Saiyans excel at Ki Blast Supers and Basic Attacks, while Namekians have high HP and Stamina. Choose a build that complements your race's strengths.
- Think about your play style: Do you prefer to spam Ki Blasts from a distance, or get up close and personal with melee attacks? Build accordingly.
- Experiment! Don't be afraid to try different builds and see what works best for you. That's the beauty of Boost Attributes!
Important Note: You can only have a maximum of 125 attribute points in any single stat. Don't waste points by going over this limit!

Side Note: I spent way too much time tweaking my attribute build. I'm pretty sure I've tried every possible combination at least once!
Beyond Attribute Points: Other Ways to Boost Your Stats
While Boost Attributes are a huge help, they're not the only way to improve your character's stats. Here are a few other things to consider:
Equipment
Your equipped clothing and accessories can provide stat boosts. Look for gear that enhances the stats you're focusing on in your build. Some equipment sets also provide special bonuses when worn together.
Super Souls
Super Souls are special items that grant passive buffs to your character. Some Super Souls increase damage, while others improve Ki regeneration or Stamina recovery. Experiment with different Super Souls to find the ones that complement your build.

QQ Bangs
QQ Bangs are crafted items that permanently alter your character's stats. They can either boost or decrease certain stats, so choose wisely! Crafting a good QQ Bang can make a big difference in your character's performance.
Leveling Up
Don't forget the basics! Leveling up naturally increases your base stats. The higher your level, the stronger you'll be. So, keep grinding those Parallel Quests and Expert Missions!
Final Thoughts: Becoming a True Warrior
So, there you have it! A comprehensive guide to getting Boost Attributes in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. It might seem like a lot of work, but trust me, it's worth it. By optimizing your character's stats, you'll be able to take on even the toughest challenges and dominate the competition.
Remember, there's no single "best" build. The most important thing is to find a build that suits your play style and allows you to have fun. So, experiment, tweak, and keep fighting! And who knows, maybe someday you'll be the one one-shotting Kid Buu. (That would be pretty satisfying, wouldn't it?)
Good luck, and may the Ki be with you!
