If you have Piccolo Jr., awaken and run him as your core AOE unit and bring a friend Piccolo Jr. for faster clears. If you do not, build around pure Saiyans, Saiyan Saga, or Omega Shenron teams with as many fast AOE attackers as your box supports, then bring Jaco and Chiaotzu to stun tough enemy rotations when needed.
What to run first if you have Piccolo Jr.

steps
- Awaken Piccolo Jr. if you own his SSR form. He is the core World Tournament unit for the 63rd event.
- Fill your team with fast AOE attackers. Prioritize speed over raw damage for most runs to clear rounds quickly.
- Always use a friend Piccolo Jr.. Even though the friend leader skill doesn't count, the unit helps keep the team quick.
- Keep Goku and Frieza only if you aim for higher points per run. If you want speed, swap them for faster AOE units like Piccolo.

comparison
Pure Saiyans Team
- Leaders: Anniversary Vegeta, Great Ape Vegeta, Version Z Goku, etc.
- Key AOE attackers: Tree of Might Goku (18-key AoE), EZA Raditz (farmable AoE), LR Broly, TUR Broly options.
- Strength: Broad access, several free-to-play options, moderate speed.
Saiyan Saga Team
- Units: Raditz, Carnival Kid Gohan, Krillin, Version Z Goku.
- Most are AOE-heavy picks, mixed banner and farmable options.
- Strength: Good for those who summoned Saiyan Saga banners; requires extra grind for farmed units.
Omega Shenron Setup
- Uses STR Broly, STR Buu (orb changer), Manga Buu (banner AoE), Frieza banner unit.
- Fills core with fast AOE or support. Some units require long animations, so speed may vary.
- Strength: Backup path if Piccolo Jr. is missing, built from available AOE and support units.

Choose fast AOE units for World Tournament
Speed is favored over flashy damage—run units whose AOE animations are fast, such as TUR Piccolo and Great Ape Vegeta. Piccolo’s AOE crits reliably and the animation is quick, making him an excellent alternative. Tree of Might Goku, Raditz, several Broly units, and Great Ape Vegeta are solid picks. Avoid AOE units with slow animations or extra steps. If you must use one, balance the team for clear speed.
Jaco and Chiaotzu stun rotation
The team editing screen displays character cards, including Jaco and Chiaotzu. — Villuhfy
Saiyan Saga and pure Saiyans fallback builds
prerequisites
- Pure Saiyans is the broad fallback shell. Assemble from AOE-leaning Saiyans per availability.
- Saiyan Saga is viable if you summoned during that celebration or have ground up its related units.
- If missing one key AOE, fill the slot with another available AOE or support unit—no need to rebuild from scratch.
- The main goal is to keep clears fast and avoid the need for item-heavy runs.
World Tournament mode flow and item use
A battle screen displays ki orbs with item and attack buttons visible. — Villuhfy
steps
- World Tournament is formatted into four rounds. The first round is three separate fights, followed by one fight each in remaining rounds.
- Use Fruit of the Tree of Might, Shu, Ghost Usher, or orb-changing items when your units need extra ki or safety.
- If any AOE attacker does not have enough ki for its strongest attack, use items instead of risking a weak turn.
When to skip active skills and transformations
Also worth knowing
- INT LR Kid Gohan’s AoE can turn into a unit super attack if you run a Goku unit, sometimes making him a slow AOE pick.
- Awakening Jaco and Chiaotzu allows stun rotation, helping you conserve items while grinding.
- STR Piccolo Jr. is valued for runs when Piccolo Jr. is missing; his quick AOE makes teams run smoothly.
- Majin Vegeta and Angel Goku teams with added AOE Saiyans are a viable fallback if you lack core units.
- You can mix free AOE units and Saiyans as a replacement for featured leaders instead of waiting for optimal box pulls.
FAQ
What is the best team to use for the 63rd World Tournament in Dokkan Battle?
The strongest setup is built around Piccolo Jr. (awakened), fast AOE attackers, and a friend Piccolo Jr. for optimal speed and efficiency.
Which units should I bring if I have Piccolo Jr.?
Run Piccolo Jr. as your lead. Support him with the fastest AOE units in your box; reliable picks include TUR Piccolo, Great Ape Vegeta, Broly, and Tree of Might Goku. Use the friend Piccolo Jr. slot for speed.
What are the best free-to-play AOE options for World Tournament?
Key free-to-play AoE options include EZA Raditz (from the story event), Version Z Goku, Saiyan Saga Krillin, and the red stone LR STR Broly. Use these when you do not have top banner units.
How do I use Jaco and Chiaotzu to stun the rotation?
Awaken SR Jaco and SR Chiaotzu. Add both to your team, and their presence automatically stuns the enemy rotation, preventing attacks without item use.
Should I avoid active skills and transformations in World Tournament?
Yes. Avoid units requiring transformations or complex active skills (like Omega Shenron or transforming Broly) since their animations slow down clears. Speed is critical in this mode.
How many rounds does the World Tournament have and how does scoring work?
The mode has four rounds: three fights in preliminaries, then one per round after. Points are scored from repeated clears, with bonuses for win streaks. Most players grind for a few hours across several days to keep pace.
