Gathering the seven crystal Dragon Balls is one of the most iconic quests in the Dragon Ball universe, and in *Xenoverse 2*, that thrill is all yours. After scouring Conton City, defeating powerful opponents in Parallel Quests, and finally collecting all seven, you earn the right to summon the Eternal Dragon, Shenron. He rises from the Dragon Pedestal, the sky darkens, and he utters those famous words: "I am the Eternal Dragon. State your wish."
But with great power comes great choice. What should you wish for? Your decision can drastically shape your Time Patroller's journey, unlocking incredible power, rare items, or even giving you a complete do-over. This guide is here to break down every wish you can make, helping you choose the perfect reward for your current needs so you never waste a single, hard-earned summons.
For the Power-Seeker: Wishes to Become Stronger
For many Time Patrollers, power is the ultimate goal. You want to hit harder, unlock devastating new techniques, and level up faster to take on the most dangerous threats to the timeline. These wishes are your direct pipeline to becoming a legendary warrior.
- Wish: "I want to grow!"
- What it does: Instantly grants you enough experience points to level up. This is a fantastic choice early in the game or when you're just shy of a new level that will give you a crucial stat boost.
- Best for: Players who want to skip the grind, especially when trying to get a new character up to speed quickly.
- Wish: "I want a new Ultimate Attack!"
- What it does: Unlocks a powerful Ultimate Attack for your character. You receive one at a time from a specific pool of attacks. You'll have to wish multiple times to collect them all.
- Includes: Hits like Dragon Fist, Minus Energy Power Ball, and Burning Strike.
- Best for: Players looking to add a flashy and high-damage finisher to their moveset.
- Wish: "I want a new Super Attack!"
- What it does: Similar to the Ultimate Attack wish, this grants you a new Super Attack from a set pool.
- Includes: Unique skills like Flash Fist Crush and Burst Kamehameha.
- Best for: Customizing your character's combo potential and giving you more tactical options in a fight.
- Wish: "I want a rare Awoken Skill!" (Guru's House must be completed)
- What it does: This special wish unlocks the Awoken Skill unique to your character's race (e.g., Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan for Saiyans, Potential Unleashed for Humans, Giant Form for Namekians).
- Best for: This is a top-tier priority for players who have met the pre-requisites. These transformations are game-changers.
For the Z-Warrior Collector: Wishes to Expand Your Roster
Some of the most powerful and interesting fighters aren't available from the start. If your goal is to have a complete collection and be able to play as every hero and villain, Shenron is your best friend.
- Wish: "I want more usable characters!"
- What it does: This is the only way to unlock specific secret characters for your roster. Each time you make this wish, you'll unlock the next character in a set line-up.
- Characters Unlocked (in order): Hit (Awoken), Eis Shenron, Nuova Shenron, and Omega Shenron.
- Best for: Completionists and players who want to master every fighter the game has to offer. This should be a high priority once you're comfortable with your main character's power level.
For the Galactic Fashionista: Wishes for New Duds & Gear
Power is great, but looking good while saving history is just as important. For the Time Patroller who values style, these wishes provide access to unique outfits and equipment that will make you stand out in the Conton City hub.
- Wish: "I want to be drop-dead gorgeous!"
- What it does: Allows you to completely redesign your custom character's appearance, from their face and hair to their height and colors. It does *not* let you change their race or name.
- Best for: Players who have grown tired of their initial look or want to try a new aesthetic without starting the game over from scratch.
- Wish: "I want a full stomach!"
- What it does: A seemingly silly wish that grants you a collection of 30 Pudding or Puar-type food items. These can be given to Majin Buu to help create his "family."
- Best for: Players focused on completing the "Buu's House" time rift quest line to unlock unique rewards and skills from his children.
- Wish: "I want some rare items!"
- What it does: This wish grants you a rare piece of equipment or an accessory. It's a bit of a lottery, but it's a good way to get your hands on gear you can't easily find elsewhere.
- Best for: Collectors and players who love to customize their look with unique and hard-to-find accessories.
For the Filthy Rich Fighter: Wishes for Wealth & Medals
Everything in the world of Xenoverse 2 costs something, whether it's Zeni for new clothes and skills or precious TP Medals for exclusive items and services. If you're running low on cash, a quick word with a dragon can solve all your problems.
- Wish: "I want Zeni!"
- What it does: Grants you a lump sum of 500,000 Zeni. While there are other ways to farm Zeni, this is by far the fastest and easiest way to get a huge injection of cash.
- Best for: New players who need to buy skills and clothes, or anyone saving up for the most expensive items in the game.
- Wish: "I want TP Medals!"
- What it does: Grants you a generous gift of 200 TP Medals. This is arguably one of the best wishes in the game, as TP Medals can be time-consuming to farm otherwise.
- Best for: Literally everyone. TP Medals are used to buy exclusive content, level up with Whis, and participate in special events. You can never have too many.
For the Perfectionist: Wishes for a Second Chance
Did you invest your attribute points poorly? Do you regret the build you chose for your character? Don't worry, the Dragon Balls offer the ultimate "undo" button, allowing you to re-spec your character and perfect your build without losing any progress.
- Wish: "I want a second chance at life!"
- What it does: Resets all of your character's attribute points, allowing you to re-distribute them from scratch. You keep your current level and all unlocked skills.
- Best for: Mid-to-late game players who have a better understanding of the game's mechanics and want to optimize their character's stats for a specific playstyle (e.g., switching from a Ki Blast build to a Strike Super build). This is an invaluable tool for fine-tuning your warrior.
### A Final Word of Advice
Choosing your Shenron wish is a big moment. Before you make your selection, take a moment to think about your immediate goals. Are you stuck on a tough Expert Mission and need more power? Are you a few hundred TP Medals short of that move you've been eyeing in the shop? Or do you just want to unlock Omega Shenron to complete your roster? The best wish is the one that helps you on your personal journey as a Time Patroller. Now go out there and make your wish come true
