How To Get Minus Energy Ball Xenoverse 2
Okay, so picture this: there I was, Super Saiyan Blue, face-to-face with Golden Frieza for the hundredth time. He was laughing, I was sweating, and all I wanted to do was unleash that sweet, sweet Minus Energy Ball. But guess what? My character just stood there like a chump. Why? Because I hadn't bothered to actually learn how to get the dang thing! Sound familiar? Don't worry, we've all been there.
Getting the Minus Energy Ball in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is… well, it's a bit of a process. It's not exactly handed to you on a silver platter by Whis. But fear not, aspiring destroyers of timelines! This guide will break it down, so you can finally unleash that chaotic purple orb of doom.
The Pre-Requisites (aka: Stuff You Need To Do First)
First things first, you need to have completed the Conton City Tournament. I know, I know, another tournament. But hey, think of it as training! Plus, you get some sweet rewards. So just power through it. If you haven't done this yet, go do it now! Seriously, this is step one. You can't skip ahead. Trust me, I tried.
Must Read
Next, you need to have unlocked Supreme Kai of Time as a trainer. She's the key to unlocking a whole bunch of cool stuff, including…you guessed it… the Minus Energy Ball. If you haven't unlocked her yet, complete the story up to a certain point, and she’ll pop up as a trainer in Conton City. Keep an eye out for her!
Side note: Make sure your character is a decent level. Grinding is your friend. Supreme Kai of Time's training isn't exactly a walk in the park.
Training with the Supreme Kai of Time
Once you've got Supreme Kai of Time as a trainer, it's time to get down to business. You’ll need to complete her training missions. She usually asks for a certain level of mastery before she teaches you more moves. Be patient and keep practicing. I know, practice is boring, but think of how cool you'll look when you finally nail that Minus Energy Ball!
You'll need to complete her first few training sessions before she starts offering the quests related to the Minus Energy Ball. These quests usually involve doing a specific Parallel Quest with her as your ally, or defeating certain enemies in a certain way. Pay attention to the quest descriptions; they're not always super clear, but they usually give you some hints.
Specifically, you need to do the Parallel Quest "A History of Awful". This PQ requires you to team up with Supreme Kai of Time (Chronoa) and defeat Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu. Now, here's the tricky part: You need to let Supreme Kai of Time get the last hit on each of them. This is crucial.
Yeah, you heard me. You basically have to weaken them to a sliver of health and then just stand back and let Chronoa do her thing. It can be a bit frustrating, especially when Frieza is trying to spam Death Balls in your face, but trust me, it's worth it. I spent way too long trying to figure this out myself. Don’t be like me!
The RNG Gods and the Reward
After completing "A History of Awful" while letting Chronoa get the final blow on Frieza, Cell, and Buu, there's still one more hurdle: RNG. Ah yes, the bane of every Xenoverse 2 player's existence. The Minus Energy Ball isn't a guaranteed drop. Sometimes you'll get it, sometimes you won't. It’s just the way it is.
If you don't get the Minus Energy Ball on your first try, don't despair! Just keep running the Parallel Quest until it drops. It might take a few tries, or it might take a dozen. But eventually, the RNG gods will smile upon you, and you'll finally get that sweet, sweet Minus Energy Ball.
Tip: Equip the "I've got to focus and believe in myself!" Super Soul from Piccolo (Super) to increase your drop rates. It might help. Maybe. (Don't yell at me if it doesn't).
Finally... Minus Energy Ball Unleashed!
Once you've got the Minus Energy Ball, head to the Skill Customization menu and equip it to your character. Now you can finally unleash that chaotic energy on your enemies! Practice using it, get a feel for its range and damage, and watch your opponents tremble before your newfound power!
So, there you have it. Getting the Minus Energy Ball in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a bit of a grind, but it's definitely worth it. Just remember to complete the prerequisites, train with Supreme Kai of Time, let her get the final blows in "A History of Awful", and pray to the RNG gods. Good luck, and happy fighting!
Now go forth and create some chaos! (Responsibly, of course... unless you're playing as a villain. Then, go nuts.)
