Xenoverse 2 How To Increase Friendship

Alright, Saiyans and Earthlings! Ever feel like you're just not connecting with your favorite Z Warriors in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2? Like you’re trying to tell Piccolo a joke, but he just stares back with that intense Namekian glare? Well, buckle up, because we're diving into the wonderfully weird world of friendships and how to boost them to the max!

Why should you even bother, you ask? Think of it like this: Having good friends in real life is awesome, right? They spot you when you're moving furniture, lend you their Netflix password (hypothetically, of course!), and offer advice when you’re trying to decide between two different ramen flavors. Well, having maxed-out friendships in Xenoverse 2 is kind of like that, but instead of ramen advice, you get super powerful moves and the chance to unlock some seriously cool quests!

So, How Do We Make These Warriors Our BFFs?

Think of building friendships in Xenoverse 2 like building any relationship in real life. It takes a little effort, but the rewards are totally worth it. It’s not as easy as just offering Krillin a Senzu Bean and hoping for the best (although, that might help... a little).

Here's your simple, yet effective, guide:

1. The Gift-Giving Guru

Everyone loves a good gift, even super-powered fighters! This is probably the most straightforward method. Just find the character you want to befriend and shower them with presents! You can buy gifts from the TP Medal Shop or earn them through various quests. Think of it as bringing a peace offering of high-quality training weights… or maybe just a fancy shirt. Who knows what Piccolo is into these days?

Pro Tip: Pay attention to what gifts give the most friendship points. Some characters have preferred items. Experiment, or look up a guide online to optimize your gift-giving strategy. Think of it as stalking your friend's social media to find out what they really want for their birthday – but, you know, in a less creepy, more video-gamey way.

2. The Sparring Superstar

Nothing says "I appreciate you" like a good old-fashioned beatdown (consensually, of course!). Sparring with your mentor characters is a fantastic way to raise their friendship level. Just select them as your training partner and get to work! Every battle brings you closer together… literally, because you're right next to each other in the arena. It's like bonding over a shared love of punching things, which, let's be honest, is pretty relatable.

Pro Tip: Don't just go through the motions. Try to win! While losing might technically still grant some friendship points, winning definitely speeds up the process. Imagine trying to become friends with someone by letting them win every single board game you play. After a while, they'll probably just think you're bad at board games, not that you're trying to be their friend.

3. The PQ Powerhouse

Parallel Quests, or PQs, are your bread and butter for pretty much everything in Xenoverse 2, and friendship is no exception! Bringing your desired friend along as a teammate in PQs is another excellent way to boost your bond. Think of it as going on an adventure together, fighting side-by-side, and sharing that sweet, sweet experience. It's like building camaraderie on a camping trip – except instead of bears, you're fighting Frieza.

Pro Tip: Look for PQs that are relatively easy to complete quickly. The faster you can clear the quest, the faster you can rack up those friendship points. Think of it as grabbing coffee with a friend instead of going to a 3-hour movie. You still get quality time together, but without the commitment.

4. The Dialogue Detective

This one is often overlooked, but it can make a difference! Sometimes, when you talk to your mentor, they'll have a little icon above their head indicating they have something important to say. Pay attention to their dialogue! Certain choices you make in these conversations can influence your friendship level. It’s like listening to your friend vent about their problems and offering them good advice. A little empathy goes a long way, even in a video game.

Why Bother? The Real Rewards

So, you’ve showered your mentors with gifts, sparred until your knuckles are sore, and become a PQ master. What do you get for all this effort? Besides the warm fuzzy feeling of digital friendship, of course? You get:

• New Super Attacks: Learn those signature moves your favorite characters use! Imagine finally being able to unleash a Destructo Disc like Krillin!
• New Ultimate Attacks: The big guns! These are the moves that can turn the tide of battle.
• Z Souls: Equip these to gain powerful buffs and abilities.
• Mentorship Quests: Unlock special quests unique to each mentor, offering even more rewards and story content.

Building friendships in Xenoverse 2 isn't just about getting stronger; it's about deepening your connection to the Dragon Ball universe. It’s about earning the trust and respect of your heroes and becoming a true Z Warrior. So go out there, make some friends, and start blasting!
