Free Unbound trait. Normally a 0.1% pull. This event just hands it to you if you put in the grind.
Seven event days. Seven Wish Orbs. Redeem them, summon Shenron, slap Unbound on your best long-term unit. That's the whole loop.

↖ Event Overview: What You're Actually Grinding For
Goal: Clear Day 1–7 quests → collect 7 Wish Orbs → redeem Dragon Balls → apply free Unbound.
Some days take 5 minutes. Others (Infinite waves, Tower Floor 50) eat an hour+. Front-load the easy stuff, batch the grindy stuff.
| Goal | Requirement | Payoff |
|---|---|---|
| Finish Day 1–7 | Complete daily objectives | Unlocks Wish Orbs |
| Collect 7 Wish Orbs | Quest rewards + hidden pickups | Enables Shenron summon |
| Redeem Dragon Balls | Turn in at event area | Free Unbound |
| Apply Unbound | Pick your unit | Permanent power spike |
↖ Who Gets the Unbound Trait: Cell or Vegeta
Don't burn this on impulse. This is a one-time, no-take-backs decision.
| Unit | Strength | Best For | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cell | Buff-scaling rework, only-one-buff-applies mechanic | Support/scaling comps | Best long-term pick |
| Vegeta | High DPS, two-placement value | Immediate clear power | Best if you need power now |
| Itachi | Great shield breaker | Shield-heavy maps | Doesn't need Unbound as badly |
| Gohan | Solid Infinite carry | General clearing | Fine unit, not the priority |
Our pick: Cell. His kit scales off your top DPS instead of relying on raw numbers — that means he stays relevant through future reworks. Vegeta hits harder today, but Cell ages better.
Short-term power → Vegeta. Future-proofing → Cell.
↖ Recommended Team
| Role | Unit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shield Breaker | Itachi | Stops shield stalls dead |
| Main DPS | Gohan | Carries Infinite & stages |
| Buff Support | Cell | Team-wide scaling |
| Control | Any slow unit | Handles hard waves |
| Economy | Money unit | Faster upgrades mid-run |
| Utility | Goku / Trunks / Kenpachi | Fills quest-specific gaps |
Enemies leaking early? Cheap units first. Shields wrecking your DPS? Itachi before anything else.
↖ Day-by-Day Breakdown
↖ Day 1 — East Town (Hard Mode)
Clear all required stages on Hard. Mid-game team handles this fine.
Tip: Turn off auto-start if your lineup isn't locked — walking in wrong wastes a run.
↖ Day 2 — Encounter Nodes + Follow-Up Attacks
- Enter Expeditions, hunt for encounter nodes.
- No node nearby? Restart — faster than chasing a bad map.
- Follow-up quest not progressing? Swap units. Not every extra-hit passive counts.
Best follow-up units: Kenpachi, Trunks, built Goku. Gohan's passive is hit-or-miss for counting.
↖ Day 3 — Gold, Equipment, Guess That Unit, Wish Orb 3
| Task | Fast Method |
|---|---|
| Spend 50k gold | Buy food, not random junk |
| Roll equipment | Reroll something you actually use |
| Guess That Unit | Slow down — silhouettes are deceiving |
| Find Wish Orb 3 | Long path, left side |
Warning: Don't spam guesses on the silhouette quiz. One wrong answer can fail the run.
↖ Day 4 — Gems, Challenges, Wave 250
| Task | Notes |
|---|---|
| Spend/get 5,000 gems | Summoning covers this naturally |
| Clear 5 challenges | Prioritize essence challenges |
| Encounter node | RNG-based, restart if map's dead |
| Reach 250 Infinite waves | Split across multiple runs, no rush |
Damage falling off past wave 50-100? Upgrade your main DPS, don't spread thin.
↖ Day 5 — East Town Boss + Trunks Encounter
Run boss node on Difficulty 1 unless you're farming rewards too.
Trunks node can take 20–60 minutes to spawn depending on map RNG. Interact the moment you find him — don't bail early.
↖ Day 6 — Bounties, Crafting, Wish Orb 6
Craft the cheapest valid equipment — quest doesn't care about quality.
Wish Orb 6: behind the Boomer building. Easiest orb in the whole event.
↖ Day 7 — Challenges + Tower Floor 50
Long, not hard. Cheap starter DPS stabilizes early floors.
Auto-play running smooth? Let it ride. Failing early? Manually place your first few units, then hand it back to auto.
↖ Redeeming Your 7 Dragon Balls
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Confirm Day 7 rewards claimed |
| 2 | Verify all 7 Wish Orbs / Dragon Balls |
| 3 | Head to Expedition event area |
| 4 | Hit Redeem |
| 5 | Pick your unit carefully |
| 6 | Confirm |
This unit-select screen is the most important click of the entire event. Slow down here.
↖ Spending Leftover Event Currency
| Priority | Item | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Essence | Fuels future upgrades/evolutions |
| 2 | Rerolls | Always has value |
| 3 | Limited materials | May not return |
| 4 | Food/upgrade items | Only if building multiple units |
| 5 | Cosmetics | Dead last |
Cap essence colors before touching anything else. Don't blow currency on random buys — rerolls and rarer mats are the smarter overflow.
↖ Mistakes That Waste Your Time
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Rushing the Unbound decision | Lock in Cell vs. Vegeta before redeeming |
| Ignoring follow-up mechanics | Confirm your unit actually triggers follow-ups |
| Overpushing Expedition difficulty | Difficulty 1 for pure quest completion |
| Forgetting Tower reward claim | Double-check the claim screen |
| Random shop spending | Essence and rerolls first, always |
| Skipping orb location hints | Slow down near known orb spots |
↖ FAQ
↖ Is Cell or Vegeta better for the free Unbound trait?
Cell for long-term value — his rework scales off your top DPS unit, so he stays relevant through future updates. Vegeta hits harder immediately if you need short-term clear power.
↖ Where is Wish Orb 3?
Follow the long path, check the left side. It's small and easy to blow past.
↖ Where is Wish Orb 6?
Behind the Boomer building. One of the easiest orbs to grab once you know the spot.
↖ What units work for follow-up attack quests?
Kenpachi, Trunks, and a properly built Goku. If progress stalls, swap — not every passive counts as a follow-up in this game's tracking.
↖ What difficulty should I run for Expedition boss nodes?
Difficulty 1 if quest completion is all you want. Push higher only if you're also farming drops.
↖ Bottom Line
Seven days, seven orbs, one free 0.1% Unbound trait. Not hard — just long. Front-load quick tasks, batch the grindy modes (Infinite waves, Tower Floor 50), run Difficulty 1 unless farming.
Cell wins long-term. Vegeta wins right now. Pick before you redeem, not after.
Once Unbound lands, dump leftover currency into essence and rerolls — set up for the next update instead of scrambling later.
