The game is very similar to its predecessor in terms of gameplay, it is mostly set in a series of 3D battle arenas mostly modeled after notable locations in the
Dragon Ball universe, with the central hub being an expanded version of Toki-Toki City, called Conton City. Players are able to freely traverse this new hub world, and in some areas are even capable of flying around, however this feature will not be available from start, instead being unlocked. Players will also be able to travel to other hubs such as the Namekian Village and Frieza's ship. Some skills will have to be learned through masters, like the previous game. However, some masters will be found exclusively in these extra hubs.
Xenoverse 2 will be the fourth
Dragon Ball video game to feature character customisation. Players will be able to choose from the five races of the first game: Humans, Saiyans, Majins, Namekians and Frieza's race. The game will also feature race-specific quests, minigames and transformations (the latter of which was only available to Saiyans in the first game, via the Super Saiyan forms). Players will also have a much greater role in the story, as some decisions will have to be made by them. Multiplayer servers will now able to hold up to 300 players at once. The game will also have a training mode called Training School, and when customising a character, there will be the option to choose different kinds of
ki blasts (Power, Burst, Freeze and Bomb).

3. Stamina Break- Take Stamina Away from Opponent
In the heat of battle when combos are being dished out you have a chance for stamina break. Breaking an opponent’s stamina can what looks to be to leave your opponent open to extend combos. The question is how well will it work and when can it be activated.
