Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra Krillin Guide – Evolution, Skills
Overview and Tier Evaluation
- Tier: Tier 3
- Role: Technical (Utility / Support)
- Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆ (3/6)
Krillin sits comfortably as a mid-tier pick in the current meta. He doesn’t bring strong burst damage or durability, but his ability to blind, mark, debuff, and trap opponents gives him a unique niche. He shines especially in team comps where vision control and status stacking matter.
Krillin is best used as a disruptor and zone controller, especially when played around objectives or vision choke points. His damage output is limited, so he needs strong DPS or tank teammates to capitalize on the control effects he brings.
Passive Skill — Skilled
Krillin’s passive allows him to reduce skill cooldowns by marking enemies. Every time a marked enemy is hit with enhanced attacks, the mark duration extends. This encourages a playstyle built around maintaining pressure and cycling skills rapidly while staying near key skirmishes.
Skill Set Breakdown
1. Rush Attack — Enhanced Ki Blast
- On the third basic attack, Krillin fires a charged ki blast.
- If the target is marked, the attack extends the marking duration and increases damage.
- This is a simple but effective way to keep marks active and extend pressure.
2. Technique 1 — Placed Ki Blast
- Places a trap-like energy blast at a target location.
- Becomes invisible to enemies after a short delay.
- Explodes on contact, marking the enemy and reducing their field of vision.
- Can be detonated by other traps, and destroyed by enemy Qi wave attacks (except rush attacks).
Strengths:
- Excellent for setting up surprise zone control in narrow lanes or near towers.
- Forces enemies to waste time or reroute.
Weaknesses:
- Relies on careful placement and timing.
- Easily countered by AoE clears or fast rotations.
3. Technique 2 — Sun Fist
- A forward-facing blinding attack.
- Marks, blinds, and reduces the attack power of enemies who are facing Krillin.
- Strong disorienting tool that can shift momentum in short trades or when defending objectives.
Tips:
- Best used before an enemy ultimate to reduce incoming burst.
- Has synergy with crowd control from allies.
4. Technique 3 — Diffusion Energy Wave
- Fires energy bullets that can be manually redirected mid-flight.
- When re-input or on-hit, the bullet scatters and tracks marked enemies, creating a smoke screen.
Highlights:
- Versatile zoning and poking tool.
- Great for flushing enemies out of bushes or tight areas.
- Can combo into Ki Blast traps and Sun Fist setups.
5. Special Move — Kienzan (Destructo Disc)
- Fires a spinning energy disc that tracks marked enemies.
- If it hits a target with three or more status effects, it deals increased damage.
- Number of discs increases with skill level.
Synergy Tip:
To maximize Kienzan’s bonus damage, combo it after applying:
- Mark (from basic or placed ki blast)
- Blind + Attack Down (from Sun Fist)
- Slow/Smoke (from Diffusion Energy Wave)
Krillin is a utility-heavy technical character who rewards players that enjoy smart positioning, prediction, and soft crowd control. While he won’t carry games on raw damage, his tools make him a valuable addition to coordinated teams that can capitalize on vision denial and debuff stacking.
