As a seasoned Dragon Ball FighterZ enthusiast with years of battles under my belt, I can confidently say that the arrival of the 1.38 update has brought a fresh wave of excitement to the community. After a seemingly endless wait and the uncertainty following the World Tour Global Finals, this patch feels like a breath of fresh air.

Following a considerable amount of time, an update for Dragon Ball FighterZ has arrived at last. This new version brings about substantial modifications to each character’s move sets by readjusting their balances

Receiving the DBFZ Update v1.38 is a delightful surprise for dedicated fans, following the game’s uncertain phase post World Tour Global Finals. Developers later revealed plans for a fresh global league and balance adjustments after Evo. Although there was some waiting involved, it has finally arrived. The 21-page DBFZ Update v1.38 patch notes detail changes across all characters, focusing primarily on enhancements

According to the official announcement on social media, the update for Dragon Ball FighterZ was launched on September 4, 2024. At present, it is accessible on various platforms; however, the Nintendo Switch version will need to be patient for a short while before its release

To get the complete details about DBFZ 1.38 patch notes, head over to their official website. This update is quite extensive, featuring numerous changes for all characters. It’s worth taking a closer look at the specific modifications concerning your favorite characters and those you often encounter in online battles

DBFZ update: Buff everyone!

The history of subsequent updates has been unstable, with a phase where Lab Coat and Blue Fusions held an overwhelming dominance in the competitive sphere. However, the developers addressed this issue through a two-part update. The initial patch primarily weakened those characters by slowing down their energy build-up. The second update aimed to boost the overall strength of the roster, making all characters stronger

The DBFZ marathon, which had the rollback netcode, lasted quite some time and was filled with amusing glitches in the spectator mode. Now, we’ve moved on to the extensive DBFZ 1.38 patch. It’s intriguing to explore what changes this update introduces overall

DBFZ patch 1.38: A brief breakdown

The DBFZ 1.38 patch notes start with a common section and a couple of nerfed features.

  • C Assists have an even longer cooldown now
  • Anti-air attacks can stop certain invincible moves

As a gamer, when I’m in the heat of battle and my character enters Sparkling Blast mode, I have the unique ability to chain together Super Dashes and Special Moves with other Special Moves for an extraordinary effect. This system only allows for one buff at a time, but it adds a strategic depth that keeps gameplay exciting!

Firstly, the modifications to characters’ attributes begin to appear in the update summary, and most of them are boosts. Below are the alterations:

  • Extra moves are allowed in combos
  • Recoveries reduced
  • Startups are quicker
  • Hitstuns increased
  • Increased damage
  • Quicker movement

In the latest update 1.38, Dragon Ball FighterZ has amplified the power of its character lineup, making it seem that all the fighters are more potent. This enhancement could be an effective strategy to ready the game for its role as a relaxed fighting game in the future

Dragon Ball FighterZ: Update in the middle of the World Tour

One aspect makes this DBFZ patch pretty important for the competitive community. We are in the middle of DBFZ World Tour 2024. Four more Power events are coming soon, and the battle balance changes may affect their outcome.
