Although Dragon Ball FighterZ hasn’t received any new content for a couple of years now (unless you want to count rollback netcode), Bandai Namco and Arc System Works still dropped an utterly game-changing balance update back in September.
Inzem, who’s been on an absolute crazy streak this year after winning the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Last Chance Qualifier, Combo Breaker, CEO and the Evo 2024 Community Showcase, recently dropped his final tier list for 2024 that shows just how much of DBFZ has turned on its head these past few months.
If you were to look at these rankings after not paying attention to the game much this year, you may think this was a troll or something, especially with the highest tier being labeled “LOL”.
Sure, having Vegito and Gogeta Blue up there isn’t surprising, but more stars have risen with the absurd buffs handed out.
Trunks is now up in the LOL category too as well as Nappa, Captain Ginyu, and Krillin being labeled as “Broke” characters now, which would have sounded absurd a couple seasons ago — though they had gotten admittedly very strong before the latest update already.
Now they’re just arguably even more threatening.
And on the flipside, Inzem has many of the previous top tiers throughout FighterZ’s history down towards the very bottom.
Lab Coat Android 21 used to be the most ridiculous character in the game, but now the competitor has her down below the majority of the cast in B tier — and she’s still better off than quite a few others.
Ultra Instinct Goku, GT Goku, Broly, Tien and Android 21 are even lower in C tier though even they aren’t at the bottom.
That rank is funnily labeled as “lol”, not to be confused with the top tier, where Bardock, Kid Buu and Yamcha reside now too according to Inzem.
If you haven’t paid attention to the game lately, it may be worth your while to check out a current Dragon Ball FighterZ tournament to see how the game has evolved with the new meta.
Or at least do so with the DBFZ World Tour Finals where Inzem is at the top of the leaderboard, which will be held at the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2025 running from January 18–19.
