Dragon Ball Legends: How to Get Chrono Crystals

A practical Chrono Crystal farm guide for the 8th Anniversary, with the best sources to clear first, what to save for, and where pity fits into your summon plan.

8 min read

If you got shafted on the 8th Anniversary banners, stop splitting your CC and push one banner toward pity while farming the anniversary sources that feed back into more summons. Prioritize anniversary missions, raid rewards, story challenge stars, PvP, and co-op before slower long-term sources and always keep enough CC saved to summon without going broke.

What to do first after getting shafted

Two summon banners are shown side by side with large green text reading 1/2. PITTY & SPLIT at the bottom.

Banner and resource plan after shafting

  • If you have already spent a large amount of Chrono Crystals (around 20,000 or more) on one banner, keep pushing that banner toward pity rather than restarting your plan or splitting between banners.
  • The Gogeta and Broly banners both have a pity system described as about 35,000 Chrono Crystals.
  • If you are far from pity, the safer play is to hold for the next part of the celebration, instead of summoning small amounts on both banners.
  • Aim to keep your Chrono Crystals above 15,000—ideally hover around 20,000—to leave flexibility for future banners and exchange shops.
  • Summoning small amounts on every banner reduces your chance to actually pull a unit; it is more effective to commit to one banner and aim for pity.

8th anniversary missions

A mobile game missions menu is open on the Events tab, showing several 8th anniversary mission entries and rewards.

steps

  1. Open the anniversary missions menu first to locate the main Chrono Crystal sources.
  2. Complete mission chains based on summon honors—most require playing banner summon events to progress.
  3. Focus on missions that need you to earn eight anniversary medals, which can be collected from raid and other limited events.
  4. Participate in raid events regularly, since raid honor missions pay out Chrono Crystals over the celebration.
  5. Use the missions as your guide to what content to clear next, rather than guessing, to maximize CC returns.
  6. Don’t split your CC: prioritize completing all summons and mission rewards from one banner before considering others.

Raid medals and summon honors

A mobile game event screen is open on the Reward tab, showing drop amount bonuses, character stats, battle members, and a Battle button.

steps

  1. Enter raid events and fill your bench with bonus characters for maximum medal drop support.
  2. Set your drop modifiers to drop amount up if you have at least one new anniversary character, since drop rate cannot go above 100%.
  3. Run the raid multiple times per day—three runs per day is the baseline for medal and honor rewards.
  4. Exchange raid medals in the shop for Chrono Crystals and other celebration resources.
  5. Build up both raid honors through daily participation and summon honors from banner summons; these accumulate for mission CC payouts later.
  6. Every new raid comes with a fresh medal pool and CC exchange—repeat for all raids during the celebration.

Story mode and challenge stars

The Story menu is open in a mobile game, showing a chapter list with clear labels, star counts, and completion indicators.

steps

  1. Clear all available story mode chapters for first-time Chrono Crystal rewards.
  2. Focus on earning challenge stars in each chapter; every star gives CC, and there are hundreds available.
  3. Complete special sections and recommended battles that pay out more CC—these add up quickly.
  4. Build your best team sorted by element, auto-select equipment for speed, and include Shallot for missions that require him.
  5. Prioritize story modes and events that are leaving soon, then work through longer-term chapters.
  6. Use the Z Missions for equipment upgrades and friendship ranks for additional small CC along the way.

PvP rewards

A mobile game PvP menu is open with a rewards section showing rank and group reward icons and battle history at the top.

steps

  1. Build one strong PvP team, focusing on good equipment and maximizing your reach in ranked play.
  2. Push as high in rank as you reasonably can; top 10,000 is recommended for most players to secure solid CC rewards.
  3. Play treasure battle every day—this contributes extra CC especially during the anniversary.
  4. Exchange PvP medals earned for additional CC in the shop.
  5. Participate every two weeks when the PvP season resets, as rewards refresh and pay out more CC.
  6. Complete ongoing PvP missions for extra medals and CC payouts in tandem with rank rewards.

Tournament of Power

steps

  1. Take part in Tournament of Power regularly to earn periodic Chrono Crystal payouts based on PvE ranking.
  2. Check the leaderboard and copy successful team templates rather than improvising, for improved consistency.
  3. Equip eight TOP-specific HP items from the rare metal shop and supplement with recommended gold equipment.
  4. Avoid auto mode if you want stable results—follow recommended paths for best outcomes.
  5. Collect rewards every reset cycle, typically about every two weeks, for significant CC.

Hyper Dimensional Co-op

A game events menu is open with an entry for Anniversary Hyperdimensional Co-Op VS Broly and a High Difficulty label near the bottom.

steps

  1. Play Hyper Dimensional Co-op every day, prioritizing the extreme difficulty for best medal value.
  2. Use auto selection for your team if needed, but aim to meet mission requirements for challenge completion.
  3. Collect Chrono Crystals from first-time clears and trade medals or dual coins for additional CC in the exchange shop.
  4. Co-op is easy to do once per day and provides a steady CC income, especially if you save up and use exchange resets.

Daily routines and long-term extras

Also worth knowing

  • Gogeta banner pity: The community confirms pity is around 34,000 CC, showing the actual goal is much higher than a standard rotation budget.
  • Anniversary mission priority: Many players point out that cleaning out story, event, and anniversary mission CC is their fastest recovery strategy after pulling.
  • Raid and daily event speed: The raid and daily event grind can be finished quickly, making limited content the best first choice for CC farm.
  • New account option: Starting a new account allows easier CC recovery, which can be considered if your main is empty and far behind.

FAQ

How many Chrono Crystals should I save before summoning?

The advice is to stay above 15,000, ideally around 20,000, to allow flexibility and access to exchange shops, then spend down only when you have a clear target.

What is the pity amount on the Gogeta and Broly banners?

The guide states about 35,000 Chrono Crystals for Gogeta, and Broly is about the same.

Which anniversary missions give Chrono Crystals?

The main missions are summon honor missions, raid honor missions, and medal-related anniversary missions.

How do raid medals and summon honors turn into Chrono Crystals?

Raid medals are exchanged in the raid shop for CC, while summon honors are tracked by repeated participation in banner and raid events and unlock mission rewards over time.

How much CC can you get from story mode and challenge stars?

Story mode is the biggest single source; challenge stars and special sections alone are worth a large amount of CC, as noted by the creator.

What should I prioritize first if I got shafted on the anniversary banners?

Finish limited anniversary missions, raid, story challenges, daily CC sources and then decide whether to push for pity or save for later celebration parts.
