Syn Shenron In Versus And Online Matches
As the final antagonist of Dragon Ball GT,Syn Shenron packs a punch, although he isn’t one of the most damaging characters. Still,he has a balanced moveset, being surprisingly quick for his size, although his throw sometimes has opponentsrecovering before his animation ends.
The Syn and Omega versions of the characterplay very differently from each other, but there is a reason to start off as Syn rather than choosing Omega (and it isn’t just due to the lower DP cost):the health recovery. Omega Shenron has half a bar of extra health, something you gain whenever you transform into him, and not most players are aware of this detail.
Transforming into Omega Shenron costs two Skill Count.
In terms of skills, you’ll be mostlyrelying on Explosive Wave, since Mystic Breath is too niche for the scenarios it works on. Explosive Wave, on the other hand, canget your opponent off of youand have them primed for a come-back move.
The Supers of Syn Shenron are mostly meant toharass your opponent, not to deal too much damage, hence why they are so cheap. Since you start withthree Ki bars already, you can even start the fight with Trap Shooter and move in, assaulting your enemyfrom multiple angles.
The Ultimate move, Gigantic Blaze, is interesting sinceit has unlimited rangeand is castdirectly on top of your opponent.It can still be blocked, but when your opponent is casting a Super from far away, you cancounter with this moveand the cinematic itself will move you out of harm’s way.
Dodge the next attack and counter it.
Power up to the very limit
Enter Sparking Mode and gain offensive and defensive buffs.
4 Ki Bars
Attack your target’s location for over half a bar of damage.
3 Ki Bars
Triggers a Rush Super that does over a bar of damage.
Beam Ultimate that does two bars of damage.
Omega Shenron In Versus And Online Matches
Omega Shenron dealssignificantly more damagethan its previous form, even more, if you transform during the battle. The biggest difference you’ll notice when transforming is thatyou no longer have access to Explosive Wave, but instead, you caninstantly enter Sparking Mode.
This, alongside the more damaging (if expensive) supers, makes Omega Shenron a charactermeant to finish off opponents.You stillhave access to Gigantic Blaze, although it is now a regular Super, so you can use it more effectively to counter any long animations your opponent might be doing.
Omega Shenron starts with four Ki bars already, letting you start a fight with either Gigantic Blaze or Dragon Thunder, depending on your opponent’s positioning.
The rest of his kit is similar to many other characters, somethingeasy to masterif you’ve played the game for a while. Wild Sense can onlydodge out of the way of melee attacks, while Minus Energy Power Ballcan be tricky to land, but easier thanks tohaving a skill that puts you in Sparking mode.
