Regeneration

DKP and EX Buu are viable alternates.

Regen teams were good a few months back, got pushed out of the meta somehow, and are all of a sudden were back in the meta due to the buffs to Green Piccolo and the power of Zamasu. However, it is the arrival of Slug and Perfect Cell that have cemented the Regeneration team to the top of the list. These two characters output so much damage and give the team a much needed offensive prowess that was sorely missing. Regeneration teams boast great z ability synergy, multiple cover damage mitigation, and tons of heals. They also have three strong yellow options in Cell, DKP and EX yellow Piccolo. They are so versatile that they even have a unit to counter regeneration in EX Buu.

Perfect Cell

Hey, everyone. Meet the best character in the game. The Yellow SP Cell has EVERYTHING. He has a 1 time cover rescue, which obviously dodges rising rushes or whatever. He has incredible strike damage (7th best). His blast cards cost 5 ki less, and any time he comes into the match he gets 45% damage for 15 timer counts, seals 1 enemy card and also heals health for 60 timer counts. Crazy right? Well he also has an ultimate card from his main, and activating his main gives him -80% to your opponent’s cover change, making this dude ridiculous. Yeah the ultimate does crazy damage too. Oh, did I tell you that he has a ranged green card that beats ki blasts, can be comboed off of with a strike card, and boosts his strike damage by 25% and increases enemy strike card cost by 20 each! Ridiculous!!! This is the best character in the game and he takes the regeneration squad over the top especially since he gives buffs regen once he’s at 5 stars.

Slug

The regen team’s best blue option was ex Evil Buu, simply because it was a good option to counter the mirror. However, the regeneration team has just received a more versatile unit in Slug. Slug has top 10 health and top 20 strike attack. He gets 25% strike damage after 30 timer counts have passed. When he re-enters the battlefield, he gets up to a 50% strike damage buff based on his remaining health. His main ability gives him a green card, restores ki and also gives Slug an additional 40% damage. The dude hits like a grown man. He brings double strike cards to the deck and his super move can cause paralyze and also reduces your opponent’s ki. One of the biggest benefits of this character however, is his really powerful green card. The green causes your opponent to take 15% more strike damage but also has a chance to steal a dragon ball. Think DKP’s main ability but on a green card, and usable multiple times. Seeing this, it is possible to really deprive an opponent of rising rushes and possibly get multiple for yourself. Keep in mind, that this is also a great combo starter and at 5 stars, Slug offers a double buff with his z ability.

Zamasu

Zamasu is the backbone of the regeneration squad. He has 25% team heal that cures debuffs, a 40% cover damage mitigation, and he restores 10% of damage after being hit by a combo. He also survives lethal damage with endurance. But he isn’t just defensive. He also deals 30% more damage vs Saiyan and Hybrids, keeping the majority of the non-regen meta in check. His green adds damage and improves slice damage for Janemba, but is likely better used with the other regeneration units like Cell, DKP or Slug. He offers so much sustain and really lengthens fights. The foundation of the regeneration team has always been their ability to prolong matches and drag them out, and this is something that Zamasu is great at. He’s a great complementing piece to the new damage dealers of Cell and Slug.

Piccolo

This was one of the best units when the game first came out, and with his recent buffs, he’s back towards the top of the list. He boasts top 3 defenses in both ki and strike, he’s in the top 10 in health, he has cover and he has a group heal. He also now, has extra blast damage vs saiyans. The guy is an awesome option for your regeneration squad and he is a unit that seasoned players likely have at a high star rank. With the introduction of Cell and Slug however, his role as a battle unit is not always guaranteed. A vital part to the team though, especially if you have him at 5 stars or greater.

DKP

Demon King Piccolo is one of three yellow options for the regen squad. He is a great option for a battle unit because of his main ability, which steals 2 of your opponent’s dragon balls and gives you 2. Meaning you likely will always reach rising rush before your opponent, sometimes getting 2. Additionally, with multiple cover and heal options on your team, you have so much defense to protect this relatively weak melee unit. He brings 2 strike cards to your deck, 1 of which has poison attached to it. Unbeknownst to some players, his green card destroys your hand, giving you 4 new cards. This is a great thing if you have a bunch of ki but don’t like your card options. You can use the green and dig deeper into the deck or for dragon balls.

Janemba

Janemba is a bench unit that can often be brought into a battle if the opponent goes heavy green or if you just want to switch it up. He’s got solid alll around stats but his true power comes from his green card. His green card immediately counters any ki blast or tap blast, giving you a free combo right after. This is strongest ability, but he also restores 50% vanishing gauge if he hits you with his blue card, giving him some pretty nice effects that opponents may forget about. I typically think, that in most situations you will want to keep him on bench though.

EX Evil Buu

EX Evil Buu is the best EX unit in the game. Multiple starred Buus have stats comparable to top level sparkings. He has the second best blast in the game. Yup. Also he has great abilities to completely shut down regeneration and healing centric teams. He is not vital to a regen team, but a great option on the side to counter the mirror. Slug is an all-around better blue choice, but if you have a decent starred ex Evil Buu and are facing a ton of regen, this character could be worthy of the bench spot.

EX Piccolo

I don’t really like to show EX units as battle options, but this one is pretty viable. He has 40% cover, has a big team heal as well, providing you with a good substitute should you not have Janemba or DKP or cell. He also was buffed in the most recent patch so although he may not buff regeneration units, he still brings a lot of utility to a squad as a battle unit.
