Summary

  • Sparking Zero Ultimate Edition players get a free Super Shenron summon, but others must gather Dragon Balls over time.
  • The rewards for new outfits and Zeni from Super Shenron aren't as worth it compared to other wishes.
  • Super Shenron-exclusive ability items like Super Transformation and Broly's Ring are game changers.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero's Super Shenron is the ultimate wish-granting being. This mythical golden dragon offers the most potent and versatile wishes in the game, and given some of the intense requirements needed to summon him, it's no surprise.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Smashes Steam Record Before It's Even Out

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero sets a major Steam record before its official launch, showing potential for the fighting game's future.

From unlocking iconic playable characters to gifting a hefty amount of Zeni, the choices are numerous and far exceed those of the lesser wish-granting dragons in the game. It's a tough choice to make, but a vital one. Though Ultimate Edition players are given an immediate free Super Shenron summon, for those looking to earn them, gathering the necessary Dragon Balls can take some time. That being said, let's look at the best Super Shenron wishes for aspiring Super Saiyans to set their eyes on early.

7 I Want More Titles

Save It For Last

  • Giant Sized title
  • Make Me Immortal title
  • Give Me The World's Best Ice Cream title
  • Grant My Wish of Immortality and Eternal Youth title

They're flashy, but the few different options aren't all that worth it. Like the other dragons in the game, this wish is only worth using for those trying to collect everything — or just those with nothing else to wish for.

Compared to the rest of the wishes offered by Super Shenron, however, "I want more titles" is probably the least helpful wish to spend those valuable Dragon Balls on, especially given how much harder it is to summon this dragon in comparison to Porunga and good old Shenron. The titles do look good in online matches, though.

6 I Want More Zeni

It's Better To Farm For It

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero! Super Shenron 'I Want More Zeni' Wish
  • Gifts Player 1,000,000 Zeni

Though 1 million Zeni does sound like a lot, as is the case with the lesser Dragon wishes, it's hard to justify spending a wish on Zeni considering how easy it is for players to acquire it naturally. However, it can still be put to good use.

Whether it's finally unlocking that character who's been just slightly out of reach, getting new cosmetics, or just being able to afford that last ability item, it is handy to wish for a big influx of Zeni, especially for those earlier on in their Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero journey. It should be noted, however, that players can make as much or more income naturally through regular gameplay, so the "I want more Zeni" wish is, at best, a bit redundant.

5 I Want New Outfits

Don't Choose Style Over Substance

  • Yamcha Outfit
  • Goku (Super) Outfit
  • Master Roshi Outfit
  • Vegeta (Super) Outfit

Though the new outfit rewards from Super Shenron seem to be quite similar to those from Shenron, it's a wish that should be saved for easier-to-acquire Dragon Balls.

Though it's a great choice for the more die-hard fans of particular clothing choices in the series, it's ultimately a purely cosmetic wish. Hey, sometimes style really is everything, and that's totally understandable, but maybe it's best not to spend that valuable Super Shenron summon on a new outfit. "I want new outfits" is a wish that's not entirely vital, but more of a luxury, and given that the easier-to-summon dragons offer virtually the same rewards, it's probably best to save this wish for them.

4 I Want To Raise My Player Level

Like Floating On A Nimbus Cloud

  • Grants Significant Amounts Of EXP

Though the amount of EXP granted by Super Shenron is far more significant than other wish-granting dragons, the main issue stems from just how easy it is to level up by naturally progressing through the story.

The beginner's guide for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero shows that it will be possible to alter the appearance of characters as well as their stats.

Of course, accessing new characters and storing items slightly earlier is useful. It can, however, be much more beneficial in the long run for players to level up naturally and instead save their wishes for something more unique. Especially considering that player level is capped at 20, which can usually be reached within a day's worth of play time.

3 I Want To Complete An Episode Battle

Incredibly Useful, Entirely Contextual

  • Grants Player A Dragon Orb Which Lowers The Difficult Of Secondary Condition Requirements In An Episodic Battle
This wish functions the exact same way as its predecessors by granting the player a Dragon Orb when they have an incomplete scenario waiting for them. It's one of the more useful wishes for those looking to play through Sparking Episodes, and for players looking to get that 100% trophy, even if they're struggling with a certain Episode Battle Match. The only reason players may not want to use their Super Shenron wish on a Dragon Orb is that the same wish can seemingly be granted by Shenron, who is far easier to summon. It's a precious wish to make, but if a player is genuinely stuck with a level's secondary conditions, they should seek help from one of the weaker Dragons if possible.

2 I Want Ability Items

Abilities Specific To Super-Shenron

Broly from Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
  • Super Transformation - Reduces Skill Count needed for Fusions and Transformations by 1
  • Water's Blessing - Health and Ki gradually recover while in water
  • Broly's Ring - Prevents Transformations and Fusions during battle
  • Miracle Master - Automatically dodge attacks when downed (excludes Ki Blasts).

Given this wish's exclusivity to Super Shenron, combined with its entirely unique ability items, it should be a no-brainer. However, some of the items vary in usefulness, such as Water's Blessing, which only comes into effect when the player is underwater.

Should You Work with Piccolo or Go It Alone in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO?

Early in Goku's Saga, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO asks players if they'd like to work with Piccolo or go it alone. Here's which one you should choose.

By 

Though most dragons grant similar wishes, this is one of the few exclusive wishes that can massively switch up gameplay, and when used right, can put opponents at a massive disadvantage. Broly's Ring is a prime example of just how valuable this wish is, completely preventing potentially devastating Transformations and Fusions during a battle. This wish is a must-use.

1 I Want More Characters

Goku Black Is Back

  • Unlock Goku Black as a playable character
  • Unlock Fused Zamasu as a playable character

This is the wish to make for those looking to unlock a pair of new characters fast. Both Fused Zamasu and Goku Black are incredibly potent fighters in the right hands and are more than worth spending that first Super Shenron wish on.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero DLC Leaked

A new Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero leak is revealed, and it confirms even before the game's release that more content is on the way.

Between the iconic Super Saiyan Rose and everyone's favorite purple-armed killer, it can be a more challenging choice to pick between the two characters. Goku Black is a slightly more versatile character, and has a easier learning curve to really make his combos shine, so he's probably the better choice for newer players. However, every character has their strengths, so players should just choose their favorite character from the series.
