Earlier we talked about two strategies to team building: 1) Build multi colors with a bench that can sub in for certain colors 2) Build a strong starting 3 with a perfect color wheel or dual color, with a bench that buffs them.

Z ABILITY AND LINE UP

In the team above we ALWAYS will bring Ginyu/Frieza/Vegeta. Greens are decent in this meta to fight a sea of SSJ bardocks and kaiokens. Freiza does work against all saiyans AND covers the purple weakness of your greens. For bench, we take EX Dodoria to buff strike attack for the entire squad, ex frieza to buff blast attack and defense, and Yamaha to buff strike and blast attack of the green units (this could be any green buff like IT goku or ex turles.) The reason we did not opt for zarbon in this line up is because his z ability doesn’t do enough. 5 star ginyu buffs frieza force with more strike damage and that’s great, however the team is viable even without that. If you feel uncomfortable running ginyu without 5 stars, you could replace him with Zarbon and then replace the Yamcha with Fury Broly or Cooler, but the synergy from Ginyu is one of the biggest reasons to play.

ABUSE GREEN CARDS

One of the biggest reasons to run this lineup is to abuse Frieza and Vegeta’s green cards as often as possible. Both specials can set up attack chains and totally switch momentum. Frieza’s special can intercept tons of moves including rising rushes, and buy you time to build up some extra ki. Vegeta’s starts combos from close to mid range, buffs your strike attack and nerfs your opponent’s strike defense. That’s insane. The only way to counter this is to ki blast cancel into tap strike, which u can just vanish then back away from. Remember. Ginyu brings an extra green card which means more times to use these and less times to waste them on ki blasts. This allows you to do the big brain rising rush strategy of, use a green card, combo into rising rush, and pick a green card.

Frieza is your main damage dealer so he needs to be kept safe. You can do this by properly managing damage you take. Save your cover vegeta for times when Frieza gets hit, or when you expect rising rush. In most situations, you can let ginyu take the brunt of a lot the damage as he is arguably the weakest of your 3 battle chars. Also, if your opponent no longer has a purple, pushing vegeta to survive last is a strong tactic due to his crisis ability and how setting up chains with his green card is almost guaranteed.
