You might remember to do this for Super Moves, since you have a limited palette of four to work with in battle. When you unlock new Super Moves via training or “Know How” (passive stat boosts) via your Super Tree, don’t forgot to equip them. Don’t Forget to Equip Know How and Super Moves But most of the time, you’re better off with moves that either launch a lot of smaller ki blasts or that chase the opponent with a single attack, like Goku’s Spirit Bomb. You can definitely land hits with these moves if you’re careful, and they’re especially powerful when you’re in Surge mode, when you can rapidly chain them together without giving your opponent a chance to react. Kakarot has the same problem that its predecessor Xenoverse had when it comes to ki attacks - beams like the Kamehameha and Gallick Gun can be casually sidestepped, leaving you totally open. It gives you a lot of breathing room and can help you set up your own supers. Activating it from the support menu will temporarily incapacitate opponents, from lowly robots all the way up to big bad Frieza. And in Kakarot, Krillin never stops being a useful support character, largely in part to his Solar Flare super attack.
That always seemed weird to me, considering how many cool tricks those characters have up their sleeves. In DBZ, Krillin and the other non-Saiyan characters become more or less useless by the time of the Frieza saga. When you see it begin, that’s your cue to back off rather than press your attack. This one seems to put enemies into an unflinchable mode, and after a few seconds they’ll respond with a big hit.
To be clear, I’m not talking about the actual ki charge animation, which can be interrupted with attacks. It reads like they’re stunned, but it’s actually the opposite - it means they’re charging up an attack. There’s this animation that almost every enemy in Kakarot does where they freeze up while crackling and glowing red. So if you’re a die-hard DBZ fan and want to get to grips with the title regardless, here are some tips that should help you out in your quest to help Goku save the universe. Part of that is because of how many systems the game throws at you without doing a great job of explaining them.
