As a dedicated player of Dragon Ball Legends, I've spent countless hours not just reliving Goku's epic journey but forging my own path alongside Shallot. The thrill of building a dream team from across the Z-Fighters, villains, and even the gods themselves is unmatched. However, I quickly realized that raw character power isn't enough in the 2025 meta. To truly compete, especially against the perennial dominance of Saiyan builds, you need to master the art of Equipment. It's the RPG layer that allows you to fine-tune your fighters, turning strong units into absolute monsters. With hundreds of options, finding the right gear can be daunting, but through my battles, I've identified the absolute best Equipment to counter the meta and build unstoppable teams.

My journey into competitive play taught me that the meta isn't static. Newcomers like the powerful Legends Limited units constantly shift the balance. To stay ahead, I've learned to rely on Equipment that empowers specific tags—Androids, Regeneration, and Future—to punch up against the Saiyan elite. Let me walk you through my essential gear list.

🛡️ The Android Arsenal: Dominating from Range

When I first tried to build an Android team, I struggled against the sheer melee force of Super Saiyans. That changed when I discovered "Don’t You Agree?".

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: Android

• Key Buffs:

  • Slot 1: Base Strike Defense UP (6%-18%) 🛡️

  • Slot 2: Special Move Damage UP (5%-10%) 💥

  • Slot 3: Base Blast Attack UP (6%-18%) ⚡

This piece is a game-changer. It perfectly repositions Androids as the ultimate ranged counter to Saiyan brawlers. The boosted Strike Defense lets your units like Perfect Cell (SP, Purple, LL) or Android 18 tank those initial rush-down attacks. Meanwhile, the massive Blast Attack and Special Move damage buffs allow you to melt opponents from a distance. I've used this to turn the tables on many an overconfident Super Saiyan player who thought they could just rush in.

♻️ The Regeneration Powerhouses: Outlasting the Foes

The Regeneration tag is my go-to for teams built to endure and outpace the competition. Two Equipment pieces stand out as absolute staples in my loadout.

First is "Haaaaaaaa!", an Equipment that feels like it was made for Cell's iconic Kamehameha.

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: Regeneration

• Key Buffs:

  • Special Move Damage UP (5%-12.5%)

  • Base Strike Defense UP (6%-15%)

  • Blast Damage UP per Regeneration teammate (1%-7%)

This gear synergizes beautifully with characters who have innate healing. When I run Metal Cooler or Majin Buu, this Equipment turns their special moves into fight-enders. The team-wide Blast Damage buff means your entire squad hits harder just for sticking together, which is perfect for a durable Regeneration team's playstyle.

For the ultimate villainous boost, nothing beats "You Will Die Along With This Earth!!" on the man himself, Perfect Cell.

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: Regeneration

• Key Buffs:

  • Base Strike & Blast Attack UP (5%-15%)

  • Special & Ultimate Damage UP (5%-10%)

This transforms Perfect Cell (SP, Purple, LL) into a true apex predator. His anti-revival and anti-Hybrid skills become utterly devastating. I've used this setup to shut down popular meta picks like Gohan and Future Trunks variants, making Cell the centerpiece of a team designed to dismantle the current hierarchy.

🔮 Future & Divine Dominance

The Future tag, spearheaded by the menacing Goku Black, requires specific support to shine. That's where "Power Unleashed" comes in.

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: Future

• Key Buffs: Blast Defense UP, Blast Attack UP, and a Strike Attack buff with a God Ki ally.

This Equipment is all about enabling powerful cross-tag synergy. Pairing Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black with a God Ki unit like Super Saiyan God SS Vegito creates a terrifying long-range duo. You get the defensive stats to survive and the offensive buffs to obliterate opponents, all while maintaining safe positioning.

Speaking of gods, for those who wield divine power, "The tide of this battle is turning yet again" is essential.

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: God of Destruction, Angel

• Key Buffs: Strike Defense UP, Special Move Damage UP, and a Blast Attack buff with a God of Destruction ally.

This is my must-have for Beerus. It shores up his defense against strikers while making his divine wrath even more potent. It firmly establishes the superiority of your godly team members.

🥊 Building Specialized Squads

Beyond the major tags, some Equipment allows you to elevate niche teams into meta contenders.

The Rival Universe fighters from the Tournament of Power can seem underwhelming, but "Here I Come! No. 1" gives them the stability they desperately need.

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: Rival Universe

• Key Buffs: Massive Blast Defense (10%-20%) with additional boosts to Attack or Defense stats.

On a team with SP Bergamo, Lavender, and Basil, this Equipment turns them from pushovers into a surprisingly durable and annoying wall to break through, perfect for outlasting opponents.

For the classic Saiyan-vs-Saiyan brawls, you can't go wrong with "Battle Of Saiyans".

• Type: Gold

• Equip Condition: Saiyan

• Key Buffs: Strike Defense UP, extra Defense against other Saiyans, and Base Health UP.

This is the perfect starter Equipment for any Saiyan-focused Strike attacker like SP Super Saiyan 3 Goku. It gives you the survivability to engage in those epic, drawn-out slugfests that Saiyan matches are known for.

My Personal Equipment Tier List for 2025

Based on versatility and meta impact, here's how I rank these top picks:

Rank	Equipment Name	Best For	Key Strength
S-Tier 🏆	You Will Die Along With This Earth!!	Perfect Cell / Regeneration	Transforms a top unit into a meta-dominant force.
S-Tier 🏆	Don’t You Agree?	Android Teams	The definitive counter to melee-heavy Saiyan builds.
A-Tier ⭐	Haaaaaaaa!	Regeneration Teams	Excellent team-wide damage buff for durable comps.
A-Tier ⭐	Power Unleashed	Future/God Ki Hybrids	Enables powerful and safe long-range synergy.
B-Tier 👍	The tide of this battle...	God Ki / Beerus	Essential for maximizing divine characters.
B-Tier 👍	Battle Of Saiyans	Saiyan Strike Attackers	Reliable and strong for pure Saiyan brawls.

In my experience, mastering Dragon Ball Legends in 2025 isn't just about pulling the latest SP unit. It's about strategically equipping them to amplify their strengths and cover their weaknesses. By focusing on gear that empowers anti-meta tags like Androids and Regeneration, or that enables deadly synergies like Future/God Ki, you can build teams that don't just participate in the meta—they define it. Now, get out there and equip your fighters for victory! 🐉
