Bandai Namco EntertainmentThere are a plethora of characters to choose from in Dragon Ball Legends, but not all of them are worth using. So, here’s a tier list of some of the best characters for you to prioritize in 2024.
The mobile ARPG iteration of the roaring anime and manga series, Dragon Ball Legends features over 250 characters to choose from. The game brings out your inner martial artist as you fight against these characters to emerge victorious.
The presence of such a massive roster of characters means that not everyone will be optimal during fights. Obviously, it includes fan-favorite characters like Goku and Vegeta, but it also features support characters like Pan and Yamcha, which can come in handy during clutch situations.

This is where our tier list comes into play. We have sorted every character into different tiers, with the S-tier representing the strongest characters and the D-tier featuring characters you should avoid.
So, without any further ado, let’s have a look at some of the best characters in the game.
