How Does Transformation Work in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero
To transform in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, you first need to build up yourSkill Counter. You will see your Skill Counter at the top left, right under your character avatar. Once the bar is filled up, you will get one Skill Counter, which you can use for transformation. You will know if your character is ready for transformation when you see ablue arrow iconnext to the character avatar.
Now that you have a Skill Counter, look for a blue arrow icon next to your character avatar. Once you see the arrow appear under there, hold theD-pad up or press R3/RSto bring a menu and select the face you want your character to transform into.

One more thing to note is that you cannot use transformations inEpisode Battles. The transformations are done automatically mid-fight in story mode, and you have no control over them. You can only transform to different phases in Multiplayer and other modes.
Transformations are a cool way to boost your character’s stats mid-game and unlock special abilities and moves. you may also pick the strongest form of the character from the start, but it will cost you more points than the base version, and you also don’t get the buff you would have gotten after transforming mid-fight. Plus, transforming in front of your opponent and noticing the surge in your character’s power gives you a confidence boost at that time, and it looks cool.
