Majin: How 2 Purification
Hi there Male Majin main here, Majin PayCheck

There's a lot of people that prefer Unlocked Potential and call Purification TRASH, well, I hope that what I have learned in my 20 hours or so of using the form will be of some use to everyone. (I honestly wanted to just keep these for myself c: )

Majin male and Majin female play totally different
at base level, you have
Male Majin: high HP, take next to no damage at over 2 stamina, but take ungodly damage at 2 or less stamina, so don’t snap vanish you'll only make it worse.
Female Majin: regenerate stamina at the same rate as AI, do not take high damage at low stamina, do not take low damage at high stamina, feel free to snap vanish there's no worry.

NOW what people who clearly aren't practicing their Pure form are saying, "its trash, its bad, go for unlocked potential"

They're only half right. an untrained purification WILL make you lose the match as male Majin, and severely tip the scales against you as female Majin.
I'm still learning it and how it does, but it is AMAZING in expert missions, raids, and PQ's where you'd like to recover fully in between rooms.

Use your super vanishing ball at mid-range to long range, but not too far away, this move is grossly inaccurate, but at the perfect range it WILL track a slight bit,

If you are in mid combo and can pull off a stamina break, ALWAYS go for teleporting vanishing ball. (you'll see why when you do it)

Pearl flash can be used basically whenever due to how cheap it is as a CC move
Vanishing ball is BEST used if you can initiate the snap vanishing combo of kid Buu (YYX and so on combo) fire the vanishing ball AS SOON as you start the 2nd snap, no matter what your opponent does (save for an evasive move) they will be hit by this vanishing ball and take some notable damage.

do not try the knockback dashing attack, it wastes stamina and makes you a serious liability.

if you are not the center of attention but want to help, spam your "Ki blast" you keep your party perpetually setup for combos.

Quick sleep keeps your stamina up, and heals you. you can use this in between rooms as I said before.

So, I've covered basically everything I know about how to use the Majin Purification I think this should help anyone who needs it.

And by the way, I tested these things in training mode with he AI set to super hard (as high as it goes) and fought Mira and Black Goku for good measure before taking it into PQs.

For what its worth, my ability to close a gap between an enemy to start doing actual combos is something I'm still learning, I find the free dashes it gives not to be reliable, especially the "Heavy" (Y) version of it, unless I expertly time the second pressing of Y.

If you are making a purification build, what you need to keep in mind. no more than 6 stamina bars at the max. If your stamina breaks, you need it to come back as quickly as possible (this goes double for playing a Male Majin) I run around 5 and a half stamina bars (half so the time transformation takes to kick in is offset).

If I could.
I would make a petition to have the Majin Purification be changes so instead of
> draining stamina
it would instead
> prevent stamina from regenerating
or something like that.

Majin Purification comes packed with a roughly 15% stat boost to damage, and it comes at the cost of any racial defense boost that the male Majin (what I play) comes with. so, it does already remove defense to that of a regular character, then comes packed with "at low stamina take 3x damage" that comes with the male form. I do not know if female Majin gets the penalty, but I do know they do not start with the defense boost.

Hello again just wanted to say that perhaps you should put this as a guide for xenoverse 2 due to how helpful it is.

I would, but I like these gems to be, hidden c: ive actually posted more than a few things like this.

Fair enough I can respect that thanks for the tips again though.

Read you post on the other discussion, if you are making a purification build, what you need to keep in mind. no more than 6 stamina bars at the max. if your stamina breaks, you need it to come back as quickly as possible (this goes double for playing a Male Majin) I run around 5 and a half stamina bars (half so the time transformation takes to kick in is offset)

Oh good thing I have not put any points into stamina yet then I guess I'll put those points into health in that case thank ya kindly.

I've only used purification in the mission to unlock it, but... any reason to go with purification instead of just equipping vanishing ball/quick sleep/etc directly and using PU for better stats/no stamina drain? It sounds like you could do the same stuff that way without the downsides.

You dont get a 15% damage boost, you dont get the best ability to support without using ki, you dont gain extra slots for ultis and supers, and this is just me but i like a challenge (which is why i rolled male majin so i have to end my transformation or find a safe spot to let it break/refresh)

I still think if I wanted to play Kid Buu, I would just pick Kid Buu. It's literally just a slightly different version of him, considering you could just play him without having his stamina drained but lack some other aspects. Or as mentioned, I could just run Kid Buu's abilities on my Majin, I could use his decent abilities without having to utterly change how my Majin is played or lose my stamina.

In my experience, stamina = life in Xenoverse 2. Anything that drains it is very rarely worth it. I respect how you're trying to learn how to play with Purification, and I can certainly see how I could do better at it with what you've given me, but I still think Unlocked Potential is the way to go.

I respect that, but I'm pretty sure kid buu doesnt get the sweet demension kicks, but it if does then sure, youl'll be more consistant pure support if you play as plain kid buu with 15% less damage and half the supers, ultimates, and evasive moves.

Testing it out in training, Super Vanishing Ball gets the exact same damage boost in purification as it does in PU. The extra slots seem... situational, since you have to transform to switch between them (which you can get knocked out of) and you can't choose the kid buu ones. The magical underground punch that replaces your ki blast is good, but not enough to be worth transforming on it's own.

I can definitely respect using a transformation you like rather than one that's optimal (I have a human using power pole pro), but it still sounds like purification doesn't really have much to offer.

Interesting, the extra slots are truly for synergistics sake, such as if you really wanted SVB but didnt want to slot it, or wanted any of the other moves and didnt want to slot them (barring charge) on its own, no. but setting up the other humans in your group for their heavily damaging hard to hit moves, then thats where it shines.

and yeah, im thankful just to be able to help anyone that has an absolute hatred for it, i chose this form because i wanted the challenge that was associated with it (waaay back in the days of the trailer for it i was beside myself about it and was gonna roll namekian before i realized how OP that could have been)

oh and i will go to my grave insisting to NEVER use purification in an actual pvp match.

On a unrelated note as a fellow person who loves self imposed challenges I'd reccomend you check out a game called dark souls kno it's pretty fantastic for that kind of thing.

Heh well if you ever get a chance try out a dual caestus or a crossbow only run they're surprisingly fun.
