RED

The 10 Red Sparkings

The red color boasts some of the most interesting variety of units. In fact, they are so unique that I found this color the most difficult to assess and determine.

Gogeta is clearly the best red.

Gogeta, as boring as he may seem, is the single best red unit in the game. He has saiyan and super saiyan tags, he provides double strike cards, he has an ultimate ability, his super move also provides 50 ki, his main ability heals, he has an increasing damage potential if he lands multiple strike or blast attacks AND he gets 20% more damage whenever an ally dies. That is an incredible set of abilities. He ALSO gets 50% to his ki restoration speed when Paikuhan dies, if you wanted to be cute with some off-meta stuff. Like, did he really need that? His only issues are that he buffs fusion (which isn’t anything, yet) and his green card is not the greatest (but it isn’t bad).

A new unit, but Zamasu is incredibly strong.

Zamasu is the 2nd best red unit in my opinion. He has 4th best health in game, and top 15 defenses. He has access to good equipment via his multiple tags, which also means he can fit well on a variety of teams/archetypes. His main clears debuffs on him and also heals team for 25%, his z ability at 5 stars buffs strike attack for two tag types, he does 30% more damage vs saiyans and hybrids and he has some great unique defensive abilities. He heals 10% of attacks when attacks end, he has 40% cover mechanic, and he can go back to 20% health the first time he dies ala green vegeta/Hercule. Given his tags, this makes Zamasu incredibly versatile and flexible. Put him on a Future team with Gohan and Trunks, put him on a God team with Beerus and God Goku, or place him on a Regeneration team, where he and Buu can push massive control and sustain via their health gain and unique mechanics. If you pull this char, this is a must level to 2000.

Fury Broly rounds out our red list.

Fury Broly is one of the top 3 units for a number of reasons. Let’s get this first one out of the way early. He’s free. You can get an extremely viable unit at 5 stars by simply doing the PVE content. As a char, Broly’s stats at 5 star are comparable to a 2 star Gogeta and his kit is very strong. He has double strike cards, his ultimate can cause faint and has blast armor, his super pretty much negates cover change, his main ability also heals, and he gets 5% more strike damage every time he uses a strike card — whether it is successful or not. If the opponent is a Vegeta or Goku, he gets an additional 5%. Incredible. One of his biggest benefits is that on “Movie Teams” he has a huge buff outside of Z ability. Any time you switch out from Broly to a movie unit, that unit gets 20% more damage and takes 20% less damage. That is a bunch of great utility for a unit that you can farm for free.

Honorable Mentions

There are two characters that I feel have future potential. Godku is a strong red that has a lot of strong defensive options but his stats are also middle of the road. His Z ability is currently lacking. The other is Majin Vegeta who has great stats, but has been power crept too hard. Additionally, the meta is punishing to red in general, making it hard to maintain focus around your red unit. That said, the top 3 are good simply because their versatile tool kit provides team synergy even if your opponent has a blue counter.
