Dokkan Frontier splits its missions into node missions and general missions. For the Planet Namek Saga release, you need to build around Namek Saga characters, the Ginyu Force, and specific named units like LR Krillin and Gohan, Scouter Vegeta, Dende, and Guldo. Some later stages only unlock after you clear the right node mission first, and certain tricky conditions require careful team setup and play.
What Dokkan Frontier asks you to do

Dokkan Frontier uses two types of missions: node missions and general missions. The Planet Namek Saga release brings back older Namek Saga events so players can aim for all relevant characters. Survival mode acts as a new layer of difficulty, with two groups and separate HP bars per run.
Build around Namek Saga characters first

The Planet Namek Saga release expects you to have a Namek Saga-focused roster. The footage repeatedly uses Namek Saga leaders and heavy hitters, because stage rewards and clear conditions frequently require them. Units like LR Namek Goku and Full Power Frieza appear as core carries. If you don’t own the right characters or lack sufficient investment, the playthrough recommends waiting for future updates or reruns, rather than pulling just for this mode. This content is designed for players with a developed box—new players are not the intended audience.
Should you summon for Namek Saga units?
Choose to pull only if your account is already invested in Namek Saga or Ginyu Force teams, and you want to use them for Dokkan Frontier. If you are missing critical units just for this mode, the footage recommends waiting, since the route is meant for experienced players and will remain live.
Use the unlock missions to open later stages
 A mission unlock prompt is open in the center of the screen with an OK button, over character artwork in the background.
Some stages and squares in Dokkan Frontier are hidden until you clear the matching mission on the preceding node. The video shows stage unlocks tied directly to completing node missions such as beating squares 1, 4, 8, 9, and others. A key unlock mission is finishing with Vegeta's active skill, while another requires using a character you actually own, not just a guest version. Missions must often be completed in order, and if you miss a condition, later stages will stay locked until you retry and clear them.
steps
- Check the node mission requirements for each square before advancing.
- Clear the node with the specified condition (such as "final blow with Vegeta's active skill").
- Ensure you use your own characters for missions that require ownership, not just guest leaders.
- Complete missions in sequence to unlock subsequent squares and stages—missing one blocks progress.
Clear the special character missions one by one
Specific named units are required for early and mid-stage missions in Frontier:
- LR Krillin and Gohan are mandatory for initial missions.
- Scouter Vegeta is used for Namek Saga leader requirements and missions needing active skill clears.
- Dende is required for an active skill mission and is recommended not to waste Elder Kais on, since he's an SR.
- Guldo must be fielded for particular missions.
prerequisites
- Obtained LR Krillin and Gohan, Scouter Vegeta, Dende, and Guldo.
- Full Ginyu Force squad members (for later category-locked stages).
- Namek Saga leader and damage dealers like Namek Goku and Full Power Frieza.
- Ensure mission units are actually owned, not just borrowed as guests, for sticker-related and unlock missions.
Use the right squad for each fight
The playthrough hints at two squad archetypes that consistently clear the content:
| Team | Key Units | Mission Focus | Stage Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Namek Saga | Namek Goku, Full Power Frieza, Gohan, Krillin | Node and general missions requiring Namek Saga or active skills | Middle route, heavy damage |
| Ginyu Force | Full Ginyu squad including Captain Ginyu | Category-locked stages, survival missions | Strict missions, late survival |
| Mixed | Scouter Vegeta, Dende, Guldo | Special unlocks, sticker rewards | Unlock/key missions |
For strict missions or category-specific runs, the full Ginyu Force team is used for their synergy and slot utility. For more flexible stages, the route alternates between Namek Saga teams and Ginyu Force, based on the active mission.
comparison
Namek Saga Setup
- Focuses on strong LR units like Namek Goku and Full Power Frieza.
- Used in stages with broader clear conditions or high burst damage needs.
Full Ginyu Force Setup
- Prioritizes strict category missions and survival checks.
- Used in stages where cohesion and defensive synergy are crucial.
Special Mission Units
- Scouter Vegeta, Dende, and Guldo are included where specific mission conditions require their presence or skills.
Watch for mission traps in the Guldo and Recoome stages

Some mission conditions are unintuitive or bugged. The Guldo mission, in particular, features contradictory text: although it says additional normals are permitted, the footage shows that any additional normal will fail the mission. The safest approach is to avoid additional normals entirely for Guldo. Recoome’s stages become harder over time due to damage reduction and stacking; dragging the fight increases the risk. Bosses may lower key, cancel dodge, or ramp up intensity, requiring careful team rotation and swaps. Resetting the app will not save your turn or active skill attempts in this mode.
Beat the later stages with stricter team locks
In the final stages, Dokkan Frontier increases the difficulty and specificity of mission requirements:
- Some stages must be cleared without any deaths; others are timer or fast-clear missions.
- Rainbow-orb collection and no-damage missions appear in late squares.
- Swap aggressively between Namek Saga and Ginyu Force teams to adjust for boss mechanics.
- The footage expects future sagas to improve on the mode due to larger rosters.
steps
- Build and field a full Ginyu Force team for category-locked missions.
- Track "no deaths" and "fast clear" conditions, and swap teams as the boss demands.
- Collect rainbow orbs for specific missions (use Scouter Vegeta for orb changing).
- Watch for stricter survival and no-damage checks in late squares.
- Plan to combine swapping and lineup changes rather than forcing one team through every mission.
Also worth knowing
- Guldo mission bug: The Guldo mission may be mistranslated or bugged, so avoid additional normals entirely to prevent failing the mission.
- No turn resets: You cannot reset turns or replay active skills by closing the game in this mode.
- Stone rewards: The mode has a fixed stone reward, with the footage referencing about 50 stones available for completing all content.
- Character ownership: Some missions require your own copy of a specific unit, not just a borrowed guest version.
