To get SS3 Bardock (Saiyan's Proof of Power), you need to awaken SS3 Bardock (Interval Time of Awakening).

SS3 Bardock can currently be used on Super INT, Potara, "Rainbow Heroes", Resurrected Warriors and Super Saiyan 3, under his own Leader Skill.

Having both Prepared for Battle and Over in a Flash, SS3 Bardock has no trouble fitting on this team; he links very well with the Leader, [Outshining Darkness] Super Gogeta, and can activate The First Awakened and Experienced Fighters for a few units. Ideally SS3 Bardock is a main rotation unit, paired with Super Gogeta; his Passive can be very valuable to icrease the DPT so you want to have him appear as frequently as possible and not rotate him off.

It may sound weird to have this on this team as he is not in the category, but SS3 Bardock can be quite useful even under a 90% Leader Skill; sharing Prepared for Battle and Experienced Fighters with the Leader of the team, [Super Powered Fusion] SS Goku & SS Vegeta, and even having Over in a Flash for the main star, [Strength Surpassing God] SS God SS Vegito, making him way more consistent; in addition to all of this SS3 Bardock's Passive synergizes very well with Super Saiyan God SS Vegito's, which gives him a boost upon Super Attack. SS3 Bardock is a solid option as a floater on this team, also offering his medium chance to seal to guarantee that all attacks that are going to hit [Limitless Radiance] Super Vegito are going to end up being countered.

Having Over in a Flash is basically a requirement to be on this team and with the addition of [Golden Fist] SS3 Goku , SS3 Bardock an even better unit to have to fill the INT slot. SS3 Bardock should either be put on rotation with [Golden Fist] SS3 Goku or kept as a floater; he can greatly improve the performance of Super Saiyan God SS Vegito and SS3 Goku with his Passive, and on this team it's actually easier to get below the 70% HP threshold. SS3 Bardock also adds some utility with his chance to seal since the team after all is still only under a 120% Leader Skill.

SS3 Bardock is very solid option for this team; he shares Over in a Flash with Beyond the Ferocious Flash Majin Vegeta and [Astounding Transformation] Super Saiyan 3 Goku (Angel), and Prepared for Battle with [Indestructible Saiyan Evil] LSS Broly. SS3 Bardock should be a floater on this team and, if both the Leader and the Friend Leader are off-rotation as well, he will not be affected by [Emperors True Splendor] Golden Frieza (Angel)'s 15% ATK debuff. SS3 Bardock's is not as useful on this team since most of the units are going to be Extreme types, but he will still benefit himself from the 40% ATK boost.

On his own team SS3 Bardock is a main rotation unit, paired with [Golden Fist] SS3 Goku or [Mystery Super Technique] SS3 Goku on the first rotation and with [Naught but Rampage] SS3 Gotenks on the other one; he is an incredible powerful unit under the 170% ATK Leader Skill and he can be quite tanky after he Super Attacks. You want to have this unit on rotation as much as possible as his Passive is going to affect every single unit on the team unless you are running [Mythic Evolution] SS3 Broly. SS3 Bardock fits very well on his own team thanks to Over in a Flash and usually has no trouble with being consistent.

Immense damage and a 30% chance to seal is not bad at all, it adds more utility to this already great unit; the 12 Ki multiplier is 150%, very good too.

In addition to supporting the Super Saiyan 3 category by giving them that huge 170% ATK and DEF boost, SS3 Bardock also has a second Leader Skill which is the same as [Full-Tilt Kamehameha] SS 2 Gohan (Youth); 3 Ki and 90% to all stats for all Super INT types is very good and it opens up a lot of possibilities for team building, like bringing [Outshining Darkness] Super Gogeta or [Full-Tilt Kamehameha] SS 2 Gohan (Youth).

SS3 Bardock receives his 100% ATK and DEF boost only when performing his Super Attack, this will affect the way he takes a hit when put in the first slot, but it's mostly a good thing for him; the second part of SS3 Bardock's Passive gives all Super type allies a 40% ATK boost when your health is at 70% or below. Why is this Passive so good? Aside from the fact that 40% is a huge boost, especially given by a unit that can also deal a lot of damage, both him and [Golden Fist] SS3 Goku particularly benefit from it: both of these units receive their ATK boost upon Super Attack, so in a different moment, and these buffs will be even greater when this Passive is active. SS3 Bardock's 100% ATK boost will become a 180% and SS3 Goku's 180% will become a 292% one.

Prepared for Battle and Over in a Flash are great Ki links for a Super type units and they allow SS3 Bardock to fit so well on so many teams; Super Saiyan and Fierce Battle are standard ATK links and the unit also has Experienced Fighters and The First Awakened, both pretty good links despite being somewhat niche. Limit-Breaking Form is just a 2000 flat ATK, but it will probably receive an update in the future.

SS3 Bardock is mainly an offensive unit, he can be quite tanky thanks to the 100% DEF boost upon Super Attack and he already receives a natural lv.5 Dodge, so the ideal investment would be lv.15 Critical lv.6 Additional and lv.5 Dodge. Even though the unit does get a 30% chance to from the Super Attack, it's not really enough of a reason to invest more in Additional.

SS3 Bardock does not have a farmable Super Attack, but you can Dokkan Awaken A New Legend Begins Super Saiyan Bardock, a base SR that is fairly common in most banners, into an SS3 Bardock that will be usable to raise his Super Attack Level by 1; SS3 Bardock is easily a unit investing Kais into, but it should still be considered saving a few utilizing this method as you are sure to pull a bunch of these SS Bardock from his banner.
