What is Dragon Ball Super Divers? Digital Card Game Guide

What is Dragon Ball Super Divers?

Dragon Ball Super Divers is a digital card game played on an extra-large arcade screen across Japan. Players assemble a custom squad by selecting one Avatar Card to represent themselves alongside up to seven Battle Cards featuring characters from across the Dragon Ball universe. Battles center on high-intensity card interactions, strategic positioning, and timed special move execution on the cabinet display.

Because specific platform IDs, hardware specifications, software version numbers, control schemes, and developer credits are not explicitly confirmed in official promotional summaries, players should refer directly to official arcade cabinet documentation for machine-level control mappings.

Core Gameplay Mechanics and Team Building

Matches in Dragon Ball Super Divers require players to balance individual character strengths, stat boosts, and tactical skills. Team setup and machine modes operate under the following structural rules:

• Deck Composition: Each player deck is built using exactly one Avatar Card (functioning as the player's in-game representative) and a maximum of seven character Battle Cards.
• Display and Machine Modes: Gameplay takes place on an extra-large cabinet screen. Cabinets feature dedicated operational modes, including "Purchase Cards" mode and "Dive Into Games" mode.
• Passport System: Player progress and campaign participation are tracked via passport profiles. Players can use a standard Diver Passport or a limited Trial Diver Passport, though certain promotional rewards strictly require the standard Diver Passport.

Card Rarity Tiers and Set 11 Features

The 11th set for Dragon Ball Super Divers, titled "Transcendent Attack," launched across Japan on July 16th. This expansion introduced high-power cards that transcend previous releases across several rarity tiers:

Secret God Rare (SEC) Cards

Secret God Rare cards represent some of the highest-impact attackers available in Set 11:

• Gohan: Teen (SEC): Possesses a team-wide strengthening skill that boosts the combat stats and overall efficiency of all allied cards on the field.
• Broly (SEC): Equipped with a devastating offensive skill that triggers exclusively when he is placed alone in the attack area, serving as a powerful solo frontline combatant.

God Rare (GDR) and Alt-Art (GDR★) Cards

God Rare cards feature key fighters from the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO movie alongside other iconic warriors:

• Cell Max (GDR): Uses a signature special move equipped with a skill that weakens all enemy attackers currently on the field.
• Goku (GDR): Features an offensive skill that increases special move damage dealt to opponents by 1.5x.
• Alt-Art Variants (GDR★): Five of the eight GDR cards in Set 11 feature special Alt-Art (GDR★) alternate illustrations showcasing dramatic warrior artwork.

Pick-Up Rare (PUR) Cards

Pick-Up Rare cards highlight specific thematic combat techniques:

• Reflect Break PUR Cards: Featured themed cards focused on specialized defense and counter mechanics.
• Kamehameha PUR Cards: Built around the iconic Kamehameha special move. At the start of a round, these cards grant a baseline stat boost that increases the user's power and power level by 3,000. Unleashing the Kamehameha special move triggers an additional card-specific secondary effect.

Set 11 Summer Vacation Campaigns

During the run of the 11th set, three distinct limited-time campaigns allow players to collect exclusive, high-powered cards directly from arcade machines.

Campaign Participation Rules

1. Jackpot Drops: The Vegito "BUPPA" card campaign permits Trial Diver Passport holders to participate. However, players can only win one promotional card per game session, and winning multiple promotional cards in a single game is not possible.
