Complete: All 17 Expert missions order and locations **Updated with mission 18 and 19**

A guide to help you with the order and location of every expert mission.

Also contains a full section about Gigantic Ki blasts bugs and what to expect from each scenarios., tips and tricks, infos about achievements and all the main and other/optional rewards you can get.


** The guide is with pictures so it may take a moment to load**

Introduction

Expert missions become available as you progress in the Story.

You unlock them one at the time and it is done by completing the one you haven't done yet (current one).

Note that you have to beat those missions in your game to unlock others, helping a friend in his game won't give them to you even if you can get the rewards. That means you can remain at number 3 while your friend is at number 9, if you only play in his game/lobby.

**The Achievements, the Gigantic Ki blasts bugs and Other rewards sections are found at the end of the guide. You can use the index, on the right, to get to those faster.**

Additional infos:

As you start, the time limit is 3 minutes. It's pretty short but after inflicting some damage to cooler, a portal to Capsule Corp will open.

There you will be able to beat (really) weak versions of metal cooler. Each kill will add 30 secs to the timer. If you're quick with the kills and also patient you will notice the time added will increase from 30 to 40 to 50 secs. Once you reach the 9 minutes mark, an also weak Frieza (1st form) will appear and beating him will grant you 1 min.

After beating him you'll see no other ennemy so you can go back to beating Metal Cooler. ot sure if it's linked but after getting the timer all the way up and not taking much damage I got a Z score and the skill from Cooler.

Here is a picture with Frieza:

8: Ominous Androids

The infos:



The location:


Additional infos:

As you start, the time limit is 3 minutes. It's pretty short but after inflicting some damage to Cell, a portal to Wastelands will open.

There you will be able to beat (really) weak Cells jr.. Each kill will add 30 secs to the timer. If you're quick with the kills and also patient you will notice the time added will increase from 30 to 40 to 50 secs. Once you reach the 9 minutes mark, an also weak Android 17 will appear and beating him will grant you 1 min.

After beating him you'll see no other ennemy so you can go back to beating Cell.

Still not a 100% sure if it's linked but after getting the timer all the way up and not taking much damage, I got a Z score and the skill from Cell.

Here is a picture with Android 17:

9: The most feared Majin

Note that to unlock #9 and up, you need to complete the story missions in which you beat Golden Frieza and Cooler


The infos:



The location:

10: The Emperor's worth

The infos:



The location:


Additional infos:

Starting with this mission, you will face a new challenge (that you saw in tutorial #2), which is having to fight your way back to the main ennemy.

At some point, Frieza is gonna send 5 of you (yes, one is gonna stay alone vs Frieza or any other boss in that situation) to other locations. If you're stuck with Frieza, you can try to break the "evil stone" that blocks the portals but it may be difficult since you're the only target Frieza has. Those "stones" can be destroyed with regular/normal attacks or anything KI or Strike attack/ability.

If you're sent to another zone, you'll face a "weak" version of a ennemy you faced earlier or in the 1st game. To activate the portal and get back to Frieza you have to beat that opponent. Now take a look at the global map:



If you're sent to the destroyed planet namek, you'll have to beat just one opponent to get back to Frieza. If you're sent to Frieza's ship you'll have to beat yours, then use the portal to get to Planet Namek then use the portal to get to Destroyed planet Namek then use the portal to get back to Frieza. Note that I said you have to use the portal, which is true but if you're at the ship and you beat your opponent faster than your teammates in the other zones, you'll have to help them beat theirs in the other sections too! If they're quick, you'll just have to take the portal.

So rince and repeat until the fight is over.

11: The Devil born from the Dragon Balls

Here start the real challenge.

The infos:



The location:



Additional infos:

This guy, Omega Shenron, is a real pain. Here are a few things you should know and prepare for before actually entering the fight:

1- He's gonna dodge, not all, but a lot of normal attacks. You will be next to him trying to hit him with your fists and you'll see him just move his torso, like a shadow, and avoid the damages.

So focus on using your Ki and Strike abilities to get to him.

2- He has a lot of HP and a lot of stamina. Get you abilities that deplete your opponents stamina and put them to good use. If he lose it all he will go into recovery. Whenever you see his stamina bars turn to red, that's your signal to unleash all you got. You will even hear Trunks telling you to concentrate all your attacks and act now.

3- He may not be the strongest out there but his attacks hurts. Everything from his fists to his abilities hurt a lot. Remember that you can't use items so be careful and try to revive KO'd teammates whenever the attention isn't on you.

4- Just like Frieza in mission #10, he will send you to different zones and one of you is gonna be stuck with him (I've been there and it's challenging). The main difference is all the zones are separate so you have to beat just one opponent to get back. Also remember to break the "evil stones" blocking the portals once you're back to the main zone. Here is the map:

12: Attack of the Lone Supersoldier

The infos:



The location:
(You can see the portal to mission #5 top left)


Additional infos:

Once more the opponent is gonna send you to different locations but it's gonna happen more often, so you got to be quick. Again the number of zones you got to mvoe through depends on where you are sent. Here is the map :

13: A history of mixed battles!

To unlock mission 13 and up you need to finish the story.

The infos:



The location:



Additional infos:

You face 4 opponents who are chosen from the ones you've faced before in the Story and PQs. Some will be in normal states and some will have full power. The normal ones won't pull off any fancy moves but you can expect mind control and gigantic ki blasts from the full power opponents.

Note that online and offline there are some bugs in the location of the gigantic ki blast. Since the amp you're fighting in is pretty small it's gonna happen a lot. Sometimes it will deal no damages and sometimes it will (but reduced).

14: Huge blasts for huge Apes!

The infos:



The location:


Additional infos:

Expect many gigantic ki blasts and some special moves from he last ape (Bardock). He will leap towards players (or coms) and swing his arms around more efficiently than the other apes.

On top of using the ki blast, he will send you to different zones from which you will have to fight your way back to the Wastelands. Here is the map:

15: Extreme malice!

The infos:



The location:
(next to Majin Buu house tp)


Additional infos:

The difficulty goes up a few notches here. The time limit is 10 minutes and you got to beat a few tough opponents, all in their full power version. 1st Broly, 2nd Omega Shenron, 3rd Kid Buu, 4th Frieza, 5th Janemba. If you are playing with other players you will face a 6th opponent, Mira. Full power means you'll see the same kind of abilities and move you saw in the fight versus Omega Shenron in mission 11.

The first 3 kills add 1 minute to the timer, the 4th (frieza) adds 1min 30 and killing Janemba gives you 3 mins.

All of your opponents will have that dodge move you saw on Omega Shenron before. The way to make the ennemy "touchable" is to hit him with an ability. So far, the best one to do so is Destructo Disc (thanks to KingChief and SkyFire for the info and help). The reason is, it goes through your opponent's guard, they can't block it (unless they activate an ability).

So, spam Destructo Disc to make the COMS (if there are any on your team) able to hit the opponent with their basic attacks. So once the opponent is "open" unleash all you got.

In this mission time is important so you got to hit hard and fast but the most important thing is staying alive. 2 abilities can KO your whole team if you're not careful. In the first one you'll see your opponent launch blue orbs all around him. You can block them but it will deplete your stamina and without stamina you can't tank. The trick is flying around and away from the opponent as you see him use that ability. The next one is also blue-colored and it looks like spirals that will appear around your opponent at first, then at your location. You can and should block those as you see them appear otherwise it will remove a good chunk of your hp.

Also note that at some point Janemba will send you to other zones, here is the layout:



It may take more than a few attempts to get this one done. Good luck.

16: In the Realm of the Gods: Vegeta

The infos:



The location:



Additional infos:

So you got 5 mins to beat a SSGSS version of Vegeta. He's alone and doesn't have any of the fancy moves you saw before. At first glance the only thing you will notice is he has a lot of HP and you might think getting him out in less than 5 will be a piece of cake but you're in for a surprise.

Not only does he have a lot of HP but he actually regenerates it. If you don't deal enough damage at a quick pace you will never see the HP bar change color or tone! The idea is to be relentless!

The trick is not only to get spammable abilities that deal good to great amount of damages but also to chain your abilities with your teammates so you never (in theory) have a down time. Don't forget to get abilities that depletes your opponent's stamina. Without stamina your opponent (or yourself when you're in that situation) can't block damages, so anything that hits is gonna hurt.

Basic attack builds won't do!

Took me a few attempts to get it right but still way less than mission 15.

17: In the Realm of the Gods: Goku

The infos:




The location:
(Also at the Academy but on the opposite side of mission 16, you can see the portal to the last mission in the upper right corner)



Additional infos: This fight is similar to the fight versus Vegeta in the sense that you won't see anything fancy but you got to pack everything that deal a lot of damages.

Basically you start with 1min 25 secs on the timer and you gain time for every HP bar you remove from Goku. The time you gain depends on whether you play offline or online. Offline or with bots/coms only, you'll gain 20 secs/ hp bar, with other players it's 10 secs/hp bar.

I ran it a few times in group and we always finished with 40+ secs left on the timer but to do so, again, you need high damage output. It doesn't matter how, just hit hard!

18: The Ultimate Evil: Broly!

The infos:


The location:

Additional infos:

As you can see in the first picture, you got 10 minutes. This is the evil version and he does have quite a lot of HP.

He doesn't send you anywhere and doesn't use mind control but he has the Peeler/Razor storm so be ready to block.

Innoncence bullet does wonder on him, because poison keeps him open, so you can easily land "nukes" on him. It may take a few attemps but once you see the poison working, you'll see the results quickly.

19: A Truly Hellish Transformation

The infos:


The location:

Additional infos:

Janemba doesn't use the peeler/razor storm but he use the mind control ability so be ready to act quickly to free your teammates.

Offline he will usually leave one or two uncontrolled but Online, with other players, I've seen Janemba control everybody at the same time, many times. If that happens, the mission is a failure and you got to try again. Sadly, It can also happens when in Offline mode (Thanks Pakari).

He does have many HP bars, while being more squishy than Broly, but he hits just as hard and quite fast.

Poison works on him and mind-controlled allies, so Innocence bullet (or anything else that applies that effect) can be useful. So just like it is the case with Broly in mission 18, once he's poisoned it makes him a bit more open so unleash you "nukes" on him.

Took me 3 attempts offline. I'm not saying it's the only way nor the easiest way but having him poisoned and freeing teammates helped me quite a bit. Also, I was able to stay alive with the Energy Zone ultimate. It's an healing ability that heals you and any ally within the area of effect.

While the animation start you can't be taken down but near the end your guard can be broken and you can get hit pretty badly. It's also costy, Ki wise, so it may not suit all builds.

Here is a picture of the skill and description (I couldn't rememebr how I got it but after searching online it seems you can buy it from the shop after beating the game):

Other rewards

Gigantic Ki blasts bugs and what you can do!

Yes, it happens so often I made a section dedicated to it.

Before starting the explanations, here are the answers to some popular questions :

Q- Are Gigantic Ki blasts bugged ?
A- Yes

Q- Is it problematic for me only ?
A- Hell no! Maybe not all but many, many players face such issues/bugs with the Gigantic Ki blasts..

Q- Are they gonna release a patch ?
A- I hope so but I don't have the answer about when it will happen.

Q- What can I do ?
A- It depends on what happens when the blast is fired. Take a look below to get a more specific answer.


There are many scenarios you will face when an ennemy is firing a Gigantic Ki blast. Here is a list, from best to worst case scenarios:

1- Normal is self describing. It's the way the game is supposed to work. The blast is in bounds and the ennemy firing it will also be in bounds after it's done.


2- Short and sweet can be your 5ft1 (1,55m) girlfriend but not here. Here it's the second best thing that can happen and I would dare to say it's even better, even if it's a bug, than the normal version because it takes less time of the clock than the normal procedure.

Basically you're gonna see the animation of the ennemy firing the blast but right after it you will hear the sound of the blast "landing" but no damage will be done by it. You won't see the blast at all when that happens.

The ennemy will usually be in bounds when it's done, so you can attack him again.

3- Short and painful is the same process as above but unlike the Sweet version it's gonna hit and take away some of your HP right away. Sometimes it deals a bit of damages and sometimes it removes a big part of your HP but it's always a quick process.

Again, the ennemy will usually be in bounds when it's done, so you can attack him again

4- Out of bounds but reachable is a bit tricky. By reachable I mean that you can usually still hit the blast with long ranged KI blast abilities. This is what I mean:

The blast is really close but on the other side of the "wall". You can't go on it and push it while it fills your Ki and depletes your stamina but you can hit it with Kamehameha(s) and if you work well with your team you can actually send it back to the opponent!

Usually, if you're able to send it back, the ennemy will spawn/teleport back within the limits of the map so you can attack and fight him normally. If you can't, sometimes the ennemy will remain out of bounds and sometimes he will be in bounds. If your opponent is also barely out of bounds, you can reach him (most of the time) with Instant Transmission. If you look at the picture below you will notice I'm way too high to be within the normal limits of the map and I'm on the ennemy side of the "wall":
I was able to defeat him anyway




















5- Out of bounds and unreachable is often seen and it's problematic. Usually the blast will be out of range for your abilities and it will be fired directly into the environment:
Usually that means your opponent will also teleport out of bounds but somewhere you can't reach :
There isn't much you can do beside wait until the time expires and you will have to try again.

One or twice at most, I had the ennemy teleport back in bounds when there was 30-40 secs left. It's very rare but it does happen. Most of the time the ennemy will teleport and sit out of reach for 10 mins or so.

6- Vanished is a rare (from my experience) bug. Right after the animation of the ennemy firing the blast is done, nothing will happen. There won't be any sound, no damages and the ennemy will have vanished completely from the map. No matter where you will look at, even with the scouter, you won't see him, not even a small dot far away. Usually you see the COMs facing the direction in which the ennemy teleported but in this case they will follow you around as they seem to have completly lost their target:



If that happens, there isn't much you can do beside wait and try again.

Annihilating Vegeta SSGSS is unshockingly uncomplicated

[eingapmoc aM ne srisialP ed euQ]

@ Zelorjekt, it seems you need to reach the Kai level in the advancement tests (go see the robot called Advancement Test Desk). So train under the different characters until you can complete enough tests to reach the Kai level.

[Edgy name]
