XV2 PQs... fastest way to get them all over with?

[DiaborMagics]

Title. Probably the hundreth question about this, but... I hate having to do everything all over. A character I've spent tons of time more on than my first one, is still one I haven't finished all PQs with. I'm so sick of having to do them all that I often play xv2 for a few minutes and then don't touch it for months.

Naturally, I feel like this cannot go on forever, I hate that half my roster is missing without the PQs and I just want to get them over with AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

Now.. I'm one to always play offline... Would it be faster to play online to get them over with? I swear I can't look at the missing pieces in the PQ list, nor my roster any longer. I want this second character to be my 'main' and she practically is, but she's missing half the roster and all that....

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some of the PQs... but most of them... no, they're better off finished and done. I rather play the story or matches against the CPU (which is sadly ridiculously easy in 1v1 tournaments I set up and they of course never ever transform... but its still more fun to me) and I also just want to get more into the Hero Colosseum now, but I can't put myself to do that before this 'task', as itll just linger in the back of my head, ruining my fun.

Whenever I get into a cycle of "play a game for a few minutes, then put it down for months" I find I have to ask myself if I really enjoy the game anymore. If all that's left for you are little nags in your head that you still can't be bothered to do, maybe you're just not having fun anymore. Cutting your losses and moving on might honestly be the healthier choice.

Consider: you don't need PQs to do Hero Colosseum. You don't need the roster unlocked for that either, but it bothers you anyway, as you said.

Fastest way I can think of for a solo act is always bring AI teammates (I recommend Adult Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, Cooler, or if you have the DLC, Tapion), a blast focused character, and an easy to spam, reliable super or ult (something that hits hard with decent tracking and doesn't need any setup). Try to get the AI teammates to tank for you, then just drop supernovas or whatever on the enemy. Rinse and repeat for most of them.

But even then there's no way around the fact that if you view it as an absolute chore, it's going to be one no matter what. The tactic I recommended is as quick as I can think of, but it won't make it any more fun or less tedious.

In the end you either push through the tedium, or consider playing a game you enjoy more. Yeah, you might tell yourself there are still parts of this game you enjoy, but if it gives you displeasure more often than not, you really should ask yourself if it's worth it or if there are better ways to be spending your time.

I say this as someone who's been in your shoes (albiet with other games) only to realize much too late I should have walked away sooner. So believe me, I totally get and sympathize where you're coming from.

Do all the missing PQs OFFLINE. You will lose too much time looking for partners online + a bad connection / lag will screw you over to the point where the mission or the game crashes.

Re-spec your char to be a Ki Blaster, i.e. +125 Ki Blasts, +5 Ki Blasts on QQ Bang and a favorable Super Soul would also be nice to add (Beerus' "Before creation comes ruin" comes to mind).

Equip the following skills:

Supers: Maximum Charge or Divinity Unleashed, Perfect Shot
Evasive: Angry Shout

Blast through the entirety of PQs by only folowing this pattern:

1. Dash towards opponent
2. Out of the dash, light hit the opponent
3. After the light hit stuns them a little, use manual knockback (Heavy Hit + Grab buttons)
4. After the knockback, use Perfect Shot
5. Repeat steps 1-4 over and over

(Perfect Shot is the most efficient skill in the game, even during stamina breaks; throwing out Ultimates will take longer and be less efficient... if you really feel the need to do something else than Perfect Shot, use a fully charged "Sledgehammer" Super after a stamina break, then immediately follow up with a "Super Spirit Bomb" Super, but then go back to using Perfect Shot again...)

Adding to this: Potential Unleashed+"I'll make good use of you" super soul deals more damage all-around with a thin Saiyan male geared for ki blasts (which is my main) than SV2 with Beerus' super soul, according to my "study" in training. The reason is that Beerus gives an increase of 10% or so for ki blasts, while "I'll make good use of you" is a 10% or so increase for everything. The ki and stamina reductions can be a pain, but I think they're worth it, in the end, if you keep an eye on your stamina and bring Maximum Charge. The main disadvantage is lack of teleport that SS transformations give, IMO.

OP, if you're in Europe, I wouldn't mind doing this with you. Send me a friend request if you're up for it.

Thanks for these responses. I'm kind of in doubt myself if I should continue at all and maybe I should just wait for XV3, but I also think the PQs might just be a hurdle for me to get over and I think need to do around... 30-ish of them and ill have all non-DLC ones done. I have the season pass ones, but not the newest DLC yet. Not sure if I care, either. I do want to play those characters though, but Im not sure if I care about those PQs I mean.

I think I will just do as you guys have advised me the most so far and that is continue grinding them offline. Maybe if I do a set of like... 5 or 6 each day, it will feel like less of a chore. Do this for a bit with your tips in mind to speed it up, then switch to a different game, until I'm done.

The ki-based character is indeed something I thought of as well. The annoying thing is that the first character I HAVE finished all PQs with, is a ki-based Frieza race and the one I'm trying to get over this hurdle with now (I've done more mentor and other thing with this character), is a strike-oriented female Saiyan.

Thanks guys.

Sadly, this is really a boring method,..... you could just use Giant Storm and Ki Blast Super buffed. It just tears through most the pq's.

Use Dragonballs to respec her to a Ki Blaster, then do the PQs. Doing those you'll probably be close to having collected another set of Dragonballs, so you can go back to being a Striker afterwards.

Beerus' "Before creation..." bonus to Ki Blast Supers is the exact same (XL) as Babidi's "I'll make good use..." bonus to all attacks, so - following my advice - your main source of damage, i.e. Perfect Shot, would get the same bonus for both. Super Vegeta 2 gives a slightly higher bonus to Ki Blast Supers than Potential Unleashed though. Also, the additional damage bonus of Babidi's Soul will really onle affect light hits + knockbacks, whose damage is negligible either way. Especially as a Saiyan, Big Bang Kamehameha is worth being mentioned... it really only shines because of Super Saiyan teleport though, so losing that is a big no-no :)

You would use Goku's "I hope you're reborn as someone good" on most multi-opponent missions anyway due to its great effect of filling your Ki after each kill.

Fair enough. I usually do everything equally with my Saiyan male, so I had to look for an all-around ideal solution, and that's what I came up with.
