[Super-Dimensional Instinct] Goku (Ultra Instinct -Sign-)

Rating: S

[Super-Dimensional Instinct] Goku (Ultra Instinct -Sign-) is a very well-rounded unit, capable of both dealing a good amount of damage and tank. What really makes this unit so great is his “Transformation” Passive: when Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) “Awakens”, he becomes the best unit in the game in terms of defense with his built-in Dodge and his damage potential is also greatly increased.

• Pros

  Good DPS
  Good tank
  Good links

• Cons

  HP restriction

Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) can be used on: Super INT, Super Saiyan 3, Potara, Universe Survival Saga and Realm of Gods.

Having both Prepared for Battle and Over in a Flash, this unit has no trouble fitting on this team in terms of synergy; ideally you would want him on rotation in order to get his “Transformation” off, possibly pairing him with [Saiyans Proof of Power] SS3 Bardock in order to make up for his lack of Super Saiyan with The First Awakened.

Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) is a very solid option on this team since there are currently no units in the category that can activate The First Awakened for SS3 Bardock. On Super Saiyan 3, Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) is an off-rotation unit, linking with [Golden Fist] SS3 Goku on one rotation with Over in a Flash and with SS3 Bardock on the other, since [Naught but Rampage] SS3 Gotenks would prefer being in the first slot anyway. The “Transformation” is a lot less consistent on this team, but, when it goes off, Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) will also be benefitting from SS3 Bardock’s support Passive.

Having both Prepared for Battle for [Super Powered Fusion] SS Goku & SS Vegeta and Over in a Flash for [Strength Surpassing God] SS God SS Vegito, Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) can be a very good unit on this team even under a 90% Leader Skill. The transformation is still pretty inconsistent here since Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) will be ideally an off-rotation unit.

This team is still very incomplete and open to modifications with the release of new units, but so far the Tournament of Power link is the only thing that a unit needs to be consistent. Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) is a very good option and so far he should be kept on rotation with the latest addition to the category, [Explosive Battle Urge] SS God Goku.

This team finally has a proper Leader Skill up to date with the current meta and it’s here that Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) can really perform at his best. Ideally Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) should be kept either off-rotation or on rotation with [The Godly Ki Within] SS God Goku.

Both before and after the “Transformation” Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-)’s Super Attack is the same, causing immense damage and raising his ATK by 30% without a turn restriction. His Super Attack multiplier starts at 475% instead of 505% because of his mechanic and his 12 Ki multiplier is 150%. Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-)’s Super Attack also disables enemy’s guard for the turn.

The Leader Skill is very good, 3 Ki and 150% to all stats for the Realm of Gods category and even 3 Ki and 50% for INT types, making it easier to build a team. Very well balanced distribution, on par with Peerless Gleam Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta and Crashing Maelstrom Omega Shenron.

Naturally Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-)’s Passive gives him a 100% boost to both ATK and DEF that becomes a 150% ATK when he “Awakens”. The DEF boost is lost in favor of an incredible 70% chance to dodge any attack, the best built-in Dodge in the game, and Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) also gains the ability to break enemy’s guard, doing neutral damage even on type disadvantage. Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-)’s HP restriction for his “Transformation” is the same as SS Goku & SS Vegeta and SS Goku (Angel) & SS Vegeta (Angel), but his Passive is arguably better because it doesn’t require 6 turns to have passed to activate.

Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) has some very good links, the only thing he lacks is Super Saiyan.

Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) already receives a 70% chance to Dodge when “Transformed” and has a natural 5% chance that comes from the Potential System, your only concern should be to maximize his damage potential investing in Critical and leaving the rest for Additional Attack. Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) does get a 30% ATK boost when he Super Attacks, but you still shouldn’t go further than lv.6 AA.

Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-)’s Super Attack is completely farmable up to lv.10 by utilizing [New Form on the Horizon] Goku (Ultra Instinct -Sign-) obtainable from the [Tournament of Power] Story Event.

Goku (Ultra Instinct - Sign-) is an amzing unit for Super Battle Road with his natural high chance to dodge any attack; 50% is a very easy threshold to get below in this mode, so the restriction on his Passive is not really a limitation. Being able to avoid damage while also outputting a lot in terms of damage is what makes this unit so great.
