How to Defeat Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
Vegeta is one of the most iconic characters in the Dragon Ball franchise, and presents a formidable challenge when appearing as a boss in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Here are some helpful tips to help you defeat the Saiyan prince:
1. Level Up
In order to defeat Vegeta, it is important to make sure you are at least the same level as him. One way to do this is by completing mandatory missions, side quests and training in the Budokai Tenkaichi tournament to keep your level on par with Vegeta.
2. Equip the Right Gear
It is also important to make sure you have the right items equipped. Have a strong melee weapon, a powerful Ki Blast attack, and the Ki-maxing energy skill. Wearing the right accessories gives you more of an edge during the fight and more chance of victory.
3. Exploit His Weaknesses
Like all bosses, Vegeta has certain weaknesses that you can exploit. Certain attacks are more effective against him than others and by capitalizing on these weaknesses, you can gain an advantage. Vega is especially weak against speed-based attacks, so using swift moves and combos can help you quickly deal major damage.
4. Build Up Your KI
Having a full KI gauge is essential for any fight. This is especially true when fighting Vegeta; it’s vital to make sure your gauge is almost maxed out before engaging him. Perform an array of KI charging actions beforehand to quickly fill up your KI bar.
5. Use Support Characters
While it’s possible to defeat Vegeta on your own, sometimes having a few extra allies can make a world of difference. Roshi, Hercule and other characters become available once you progress far enough in the story. These allies can use their own signature attacks to weaken Vegeta, giving you a much-needed edge.
6. Take Breaks
Vegeta is one of the most difficult challenges in the game, so don’t be discouraged if you’re having a hard time defeating him. Take regular breaks to help you focus and watch videos or tutorials to get more tips. Once you understand his pattern, you’ll be able to make a more effective strategy for your next attempt.
By following these tips, you can finally get the satisfaction of taking down Vegeta and becoming the ultimate champion of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot!
