Majin Buu (Good)

[rain granite]

he just need 1 stack and his gum gum 1 shots minions

[dense carbon]

Farming is already free on Buu for me because I rush s3

[rain granite]

if we get skill 1 boost he doesnt even need nowball

[storm hornet]

I feel Dabura is specially screwed over by this

[rain granite]

s1 cd is wayyyyy lower

[storm hornet]

I dunno, even without snowball, I was bullying Daburas lol

[rain granite]

more efficient

[storm hornet]

Fitting at least

[rain granite]

its dabura

the worst character in the game lol

[dense carbon]

especially if it's that divine card that gives a free max level, s3 you can just clear all the early camps and dash ahead to steal the enemies like no problem

[storm hornet]

Still, it's like Buu doesn't have to respect him at all, even his spear is a non issue

[dense carbon]

I like Darbura but I get why people feel he is weaker

[storm hornet]

gum him, then run lol

he's surprisingly tanky for a DPS, still goes down fast...

[rain granite]

im gum guming him to kill him lol

[dense carbon]

Buu should counter Darbura since it's in the lore imo same with Trunks and Freeza

[rain granite]

dabura does nothing to buu

[storm hornet]

I never said run away

[dense carbon]

also i feel like 18 should counter Vegeta lol

but that's off topic

[rain granite]

18 is a weird one

[dense carbon]

i still haven't unlocked 18/Hit/Bojack

[wary oar]

Yeah he's good at dealing with tanks by making them back off or risk being petrified...but that doesn't help with everything else

[rain granite]

cause She can kill you if you arent paying attention

but in this gotenk/ssj/ssj3 meta

18 kinda useless

[dense carbon]

the constant threat of petrify is really his main thing yeah. That's why i don't blame people going multiple green card on him. It's more about longevity to hit that spit than damage, still he suffers without PreptoDie

that's why Buu is so good on him though. Darbura with more health is going to petrify you, just a matter of timing

i actually love that he revolves around that stone spit because it's absent or a cutscene attack in many of his game appearances til now

[wary oar]

Honestly I think dabura should be able to petrify bosses but it takes 1.5 times the rate it works on heroes or higher so that way the enemy has to go in and deal with him instead of backing off otherwise when the boss is petrified he is going to immediately take them with his ult

[dense carbon]

i really thought we were going to get Kuu and Duu though, I am glad we got him instead

[wary oar]

Like how you see a piccolo charging SBC you gotta do something or the boss is his

[dense carbon]

i could be down with that, would be nice if Piccolo got some more HP back after Petrify ends though for lore relevance, kind of like 17's special interaction to cancel transforms

that one is the funniest dub discrepancy to me like Piercing Demon Ray is so much more metal than Special Beam Canon you'd think the WWE loving english team would have jumped on that

[rain granite]

I just want them to drop super buu lol... This my least favorite form of buu but this is what we got

[dense carbon]

i'll take any fat characters they give us atp

[rain granite]

ohhh your a fat boy lover

[dense carbon]

would love to see Yajirobe, Nappa, and Ribrianne become playable

[rain granite]

I like it

[dense carbon]

No i just like body variance

[rain granite]

I normally pick the big characters too lol

[storm hornet]

Last thing Nappa can be called is fat

he's pure muscle lol

[rain granite]

fat muscle

you guys see the avi

snorlax best pokemon

[dense carbon]

Unfortunately, anyone who isn't main character shaped is frequently denounced as fat, even if it's just a wider jaw shape

[storm hornet]

Then GT has a lot of fat characters

[dense carbon]

Dragon Ball used to be prolific with characters of varying size and shapes but late Z and Super especially started to make everyone a lot skinnier

that was the whole joke that goku the cute little bean was destroying 300+ pound menaces

[rain granite]

yall think kid buu gonna be a dps?

[glossy coral]

I hope yall are having a lovely day!

[rain granite]

your build made me top 20 buu lol

you are king lol

[dense carbon]

I would want "Evil Buu" who progressively morphs into his various forms in the story. Maybe even his visual is changed by what moves you max first

[rain granite]

YEEESSSSSS BRRROOOO

id love that

[dense carbon]

or he could have Candy interactions like Buu and Uub

[rain granite]

im fine if he starts off as evil buu then goes into super buu

[dense carbon]

Maybe hes got Kamehameha, Makankosappo, and Super Ghosts and whichever you max first he is in different clothes and then his actual transform is into pure "kid" buu

[rain granite]

you are cooking

[dense carbon]

I feel like it would be a good opportunity to phase out the excessive names he has

Buu and Piccolo both got the audiences arguing over who counts as who way too much

[storm hornet]

I dunno about that

Anorexic Buu into Super Buu could work, it's the same personality, but kid Buu is, not only weaker, he has a completely different personality and fighting style lol

[dense carbon]

actually one of his regular skills should be some kind of rush combo at least one

[rain granite]

what roles would they make them

any of the buus tank?

[dense carbon]

"anorexic" see what i mean that whole chapter in the story inspired waves of body shaming in the fandom

I would make Evil Buu a tank myself yes

[rain granite]

kid buu dps

[dense carbon]

i dont really care about the whole "kid buu is weaker" debate. It's a cartoon superhero story. Next villain is always a bigger more complicated threat, logic has never been a strong point of the lore

i think more fans should discuss the Piccolo/Buu parallels honestly that is way more interesting than who is strongest

if pure, un-fused, kid, whatever we call him is his own individual character yeah I'd make him dps for sure

[rain granite]

they def gonna make him an individual... id be shocked otherwise

[dense carbon]

if they add him at all. After years of Dokkan it feels like he is not seen as worth making content of by the devs

[rain granite]

yea I dont think it would be for while

[dense carbon]

I personally like the evil transforming idea, a lot of his appeal is the fusion and form changing for me

[rain granite]

but when I see bojack... alll im saying is that I have hope lol

[dense carbon]

if we are getting pure Buu (besides Uub) i feel like they will probably opt for a playable Kuu/Duu/Arinsu for more relevant marketing

yeah I was surprised at Bojack being added. I rewatched the movie and I don't get why he is so popular. Not the most repulsive but like he doesn't have a lot of personality or achievement

he fits more neatly in the lore than most movie villains tho

[frosty oasis]

does kid buu even have enough source material to work for a moveset really

[dense carbon]

The video games have always kinda pushed together his moves from previous forms too he has very few iconic attacks that aren't borrowed

[frosty oasis]

yeah thats what im saying

[storm hornet]

I mean, he's so skinny his "bones" are very visible, not unlike anorexic people lol

[frosty oasis]

he has absorption (potentially, i dont think he ever absorbs someone once he reverts to kid buu), candy beam

and thats really it

[storm hornet]

I mean, there's still the personality issue

[frosty oasis]

transforming super buu would just work better

[storm hornet]

Kid Buu is a gorilla in fighting style

[dense carbon]

he certainly could do that as he did it to become the Buu with conflicted moral duality but they never show it in the final segment where he actually appears

[storm hornet]

This isn't a Cell going from Imperfect to Semi Perfect to Perfect, it's all the same personality

[frosty oasis]

still though

[glossy coral]

Aww, I'm happy to hear that!

[storm hornet]

Buus are not as interchangeable, and games separate them because of that

[glossy coral]

Great job buddy

[frosty oasis]

absorption is more super buu territory and candy beam is more fat buu territory

[dense carbon]

yeah it's not really necessary to say it so crassly. It's like saying "morbidly obese" at any character who happens to be fat

[frosty oasis]

so i dont think he'd be able to do anything unique

[storm hornet]

even Budokai games, which don't separate transformations, do separate all three Buus

[dense carbon]

He definitely still polymorphs people into food and is obsessed with candy when his Evil side takes over but yeah it was more of the first Buu's claim to fame

[frosty oasis]

yeah

so does kid buu have anything special or unique dedicated to himself that only he can do

[storm hornet]

His aggressiveness, he also messes with his own body shape far more

[dense carbon]

I still think Kuu seems to exist in Daima as a more relevant and marketable character who looks like "kid" buu and they will probably use him instead if they add another Majin

[storm hornet]

Fat and Super Buu are relatively tame by comparison lol

in body shaping that is

[dense carbon]

because i would put money down we are getting the daima version of ssj4 instead of GT and probably Gomah before Jiren if Jiren at all

[storm hornet]

I mean Toppo is being added

Jiren is a possibility, question is if the game will live that long

[dense carbon]

Top I was surprised about too. Especially since they would absolutely be calling him Ultra Ego Top if the manga had been animated yet

[frosty oasis]

toppo before jiren is crazy btw

i prefer toppo im just kinda shocked

[dense carbon]

exactly yea

I like how he is shaped like a Top (i know it's an anagram of "pot" but still) like he looks like he could have a spinning breakdancing attack hahah

[rain granite]

right kid buu has more content than a decent amount of choices

[dense carbon]

Surprised that neither Babidi nor Mr Satan is attached to the Buu we have in some way like none of his animations include either of them

makes me think they will become Helpers down the line

[storm hornet]

Neither are typically included in Buu's moveset, he has more than enough to stand out on his own

Babidi adds pretty much nothing to him, since all he did was annoy Buu

[frosty oasis]

ok well its different here

toppo probably has less screentime but he has unique tricks like hakai that would make his moveset interesting

[storm hornet]

In screentime, god of destruction Toppo is around for like two episodes lol

lemme double check...

[frosty oasis]

ok well

i think they could do base toppo transforming into god toppo

[storm hornet]

Honestly, yeah lol

base Toppo looks much better, has a better personality too, though god of destruction Toppo stands out more with how he uses hakai

Lol, from 125 to 126, I was spitballing when I said two episodes

[wary oar]

Absorbing enemies would be interesting but I feel like it would be baby (young body) 2 mainly if you had to get finishers to absorb someone

Happens early game for a few seconds then almost never mid-late game

[storm hornet]

I don't think they'd make a different model for each absorption, and if it's a generic absorption then it's kinda whatever lol

[wary oar]

Oh great here comes the wave of gotenks's

[glossy coral]

He is kinda annoying but if you can peel him out of position, he can get boomed

If I had more time, i bet I could rank up as Buu

I'm happy some of my advice has helped some of your tactics and plays, makes me feel proud of yall here

[dense carbon]

If you are playing for the vibe of absorbing players you are better off playing the Breakers. That kind of move can only last as long as Turn to Candy in a game like this

[storm hornet]

Absorbing players could be just like Baby's possession, just more consistent lol

[frosty oasis]

if you kill with a certain Super Buu skill you get to steal the skill in that characters skill slot until you die or you get rid of it willingly

ie - if the absorption move is skill slot 1 and you kill 18 with it you get destructo disc

other player comes back fine

relatively balanced

[storm hornet]

That would be more fitting for 21 honestly lol

since in DBFZ she does have a move where she copies a character's move

[wary oar]

"If I could just get that girl's (caulifa's) provoke and the little ones (gohan) stagger effect..."

https://tenor.com/view/majin-boo-dragon-ball-z-combine-gif-12698861

[storm hornet]

Lol Super Buu stealing passives, now there's a messed up idea

Best one would be Cooler's

[wary oar]

He just becomes a mishmash of the best passive and skills possible in the match if he snowballs too hard

Assuming he's up against the best team possible what would be the most terrifying combination of passive skills and ult?

[storm hornet]

Probably something that has SS3 Goku's IT

Specially if he were to be a tank

a teleporting tank lol

[wary oar]

He ITs then drops SSJ Goku's spirit bomb on everyone then runs back to toss out a light grenade

[storm hornet]

would be funny if he could somehow steal one of the gammas lol

[wary oar]

Dude imagine if he had hit's S3 and charged up a SBC during it

[storm hornet]

Man that's evil lol

[wary oar]

Imagine if he used krillin's solar flare got behind the enemy team then used kale's ult while they're blinded

[glossy coral]

Remember to dip your enemies in boiling milk, Buu's

[dense carbon]

would be funny if Buu could turn NPCs to milk pickups that cure disables

sorta like stepping on Bard shrines

[glossy coral]

That'd actually be awesome

Great idea

[green current]

I just went OFF with a Kale partner. A pocket Buu makes Kale CRAAAZY

[atomic field]

Tried this and got checkmark my very first game. This is a great recommendation

[storm hornet]

Yeah, Buu is a menace now, he can do DPS levels of damage even without snowball lol

[dense carbon]

always was

[wary oar]

He just needed more HP then a housefly mid-late game

[dense carbon]

he was always strong but now he is easier to play

he more appropriately reflects the displayed character difficulty rating in-game now

the biggest buff was the Healing Ray tether, everything else is just icing

[green current]

What's the shield name?

[true tartan]

Solid Barrier

[green current]

Thanks

[frosty oasis]

i still like to use limit breaking jump on buu

[glossy coral]

Noice

[woeful cape]

always go with ready go first when you have super start

[storm hornet]

After skill 1 buffs, it's probably better to start with it, you can be real annoying and really damaging lol

[rain granite]

Skill 1 is beyond broken. Maxing out anything other than that first is TROLL.

You just need 1 point into s3

And skill 3 really is just to run away or abuse enemies that have 3 stacks of s1 on them

[woeful cape]

yall not seeing the potential of s3

ill call it a doherty strat where you use ready go to deal damage, reset and push back while manuvering back to an ally and healing them

i just need to do it more

[rain granite]

It's not about the potential it's the fact that it isn't better then s1

S3 does not work well unless s1 hits multiple times in high s rank. Especially with all of these gotenks around and that character is your weakness

You can't sacrifice s3 as a starting skill better players will punish you

I used to max s3 until I got to high s rank it doesn't work

S1 made me the top 15 buu player

You HAVE to max that out first

Not maxing s1 ASAP is troll

[woeful cape]

true

i just find s3 to be his most fun ability

[rain granite]

S1 > s2 > s1 > s2 >super/charge

Is my order

I need s1 maxed asap

I go all damage cards though

[woeful cape]

Limit jump is huge

[rain granite]

Limit jump is good but pursuer is possibly one of the most broken cards for buu

It's built for him

[woeful cape]

Didn't even realize that

[frosty oasis]

yeah but like

strangle gum just does more

good damage debuffs and makes it so your opponent cant run away to their god

potentially guaranteeing a kill

[dense carbon]

Pursuer does a lot more a lot faster for me when I rush s3 😀 yall need to chill with your skill order elitism seriously just let people have preferences

[dense carbon]

and that probably means you will use it more aptly than most

[vagrant gazelle]

this guy's broken

only issue i see is, you totally depend on your dps being competent

[frosty oasis]

so like

can buu still keep up with toppo in the game

[dense carbon]

The pair well but wdym keep up

walk speed? like Buu s3 versus max speed Top?

i would love to see test results of that

[storm hornet]

I don't see why not?

Toppo is like another 18 type character

Buu barely survived SS3 Goku before the buffs, he probably will survive Toppo unless Toppo is really, really overtuned

and so far, he's looking like the most balanced of the three

certainly the least annoying, so far.

[woeful cape]

Buu can always keep up

[rain granite]

Toppo struggles against buu... The skill you have to be worried about with him as buu is that counter skill. IT DOES A TON OF DMG

Toppo is more like dabura... A better version of him

[glossy coral]

The counter is devious but if you know it's happening and you accidentally hit it, you can run before it ends to avoid the damage

[rain granite]

That counter does like 80% of your health if you dont realize whats going on

[glossy coral]

I don't think he can cancel it willingly, and he assumes a obvious pose, just run if you hit him

[frosty oasis]

so like

can it counter candy beam

i wouldnt mind my opponent being forced to stand still so i can hit him with my very slow ult

[rain granite]

No candy beam counters him

[storm hornet]

His HP also increases, I've been using that as a tell

[glossy coral]

Yeee

Which why I pair it with Build Up to just be unkillable for a few seconds

Toppo feels like one of those characters you need to heavily pressure or he'll escape

Focus him, then tend to anyone else

I like him way more than SSJ3, maybe it's cause I'm more of a brawler or utility kinda guy

[stable plover]

Yeah build up is pretty good on buu

[junior flax]

Is there any useful way to use Buu's, Ready, Go!, move? I find myself barely ever using it

[storm hornet]

Messing with enemy positioning, "comboing" with S1 after being thrown a bunch of times, escaping

it's surprisingly flexible

[glossy coral]

Steel yourselves Buus, we must learn to work against a new threat.

[astral yarrow]

Like he say, the must is probably combined S3 after S1. With and advantage in level, or with a super start for S1 i easily one vs one a character, if he take the 3 hit of the S1 max, Your S3 gonna mess with him, vanish or not.
The combo S1 + S3 work pretty well on the boss, but you need to learn to run in circle around your target. Because Kaio or Boss don't "Bump", but they take damage !
On lane, if you see a enemy between you and you're tower, if he overextend behind you, you can push him on your tower, can be really useful.
If you see you're ally low hp, with the 2 enemy that focus him will he go back on the tower, you can also use it here, for pushing the two enemy one or two time and run away, i save the life of my mate many time like that.

But yeah, i don't count either the dps that's see me and think it's an easy fight 1vs1
Hit your 3 S1 and do S3, he gonna regret it.

And beside that
That's a tool that can make the snowball mystic card pick really strong on buu. He really hard to kill with that.

Personally i use the S3 so much more ... Than his ultimate, i don't even pick one lvl on his ulty before all the other skill are maxed.

[junior flax]

Oh wow thanks! That's all super helpful. No idea S3 could be used in that way. So you can only push enemies if you use S1 first?

[junior flax]

Ah wait never mind. I messed around with it in training and see you can push them without using S1

But using S1 default makes it much easier as you said

[junior flax]

What is this new threat

[astral yarrow]

That's the thing
You can bump without it, but with S1, the hit box of the enemy become larger, especially when you focus 3 gum on one enemy in short time

[junior flax]

Yeah that's actually so op, definitely gonna be using this haha

[rain granite]

Use skill 1 into ready set go.

[glossy coral]

Ssj4

[ornate frigate]

im kinda new to this game what cards should i be looking to use and what order should i level up his skills

i usually find myself just going all defense so i can stay in the fight longer and help my other dps

[storm hornet]

He's really dangerous if you go snowball as your first card and stack up on kills, but you can start with Build Up to get used to him

I recommend neglecting his Ult while prioritizing S1

[flint helm]

does super damage skill 2 make the heal better?

theretically it should right, its kinda the only not damaging skill 2 in the game

[storm hornet]

I got the impression it did, but I didn't run the numbers

it's difficult to compare since Buu's healing depends on his own level and the distance

[frosty oasis]

itd be weird if it just did nothing

[storm hornet]

I think with Krillin it does nothing lol

[frosty oasis]

krillin has been doing nothing in db for the past 20 years so its anime accurate

[obsidian phoenix]

In my experience, it does absolutely nothing
But I want to believe that it actually helps the passive since they are related

[woeful cape]

Much stronger early game with super start than people realize🤫

@junior flax have any uub tips? Hes my favorite dps too

[atomic field]

Which tier 2 damage do you prefer? And is it worth losing out on barrier?

Snowball and pursuer I understand

I am also still partial to LBJ but if you stick with a teammate, you have access to healing and your charge gets you out of scuffles too, so it’s not as necessary

But I just don’t understand how either damage card is more useful than barrier stopping the rogue one shot

[storm hornet]

If you want to play Buu as a combat medic, sure

[rain granite]

Yea I go barrier now... I was going ready to die before

[woeful cape]

you could go the annoying fly route and go with build up, barrier and limit jump

[atomic field]

I sort of want to do this, but I also want to do enough damage to be annoying, which lends itself to snowball, and at that point you may as well take on pursuer too for cheeky boss confirms

[woeful cape]

true

you just gotta spam heals tho for the combo to work

then finish them off yourself

[atomic field]

If I’m underestimating his base damage though build up makes sense

Cause 20% less damage at max stacks means you stick around to heal forever

[woeful cape]

[atomic field]

I’m kinda feeling build up Barrier pursuer 🤣

Best of both worlds

[woeful cape]

survivability with buu is actually insane

max ready go, tech speed, limit jump and the defence stacks

[woeful cape]

meh

does buu really need pursuer tho?

hes already fast plus wouldnt wicked warrior be better?

[atomic field]

My issue with wicked is that you can’t use Rush attacks while you’re healing, running around with S3, or using gum

Meanwhile the damage pop from pursuer happens after you double tap gum, or gum - charge.

You also get the movement speed to get stronger heals out of s2 with pursuer since they’re proximity based

If they let us rush while we healed 1000% wicked

[woeful cape]

mmm

[woeful cape]

which assist is best with buu?

[atomic field]

He honestly works with them all, farmer feeds into his debuff playstyle , bubbles helps you facilitate retreats and s3 pushes, shu is anti Hit, your cds let you rat a bit so invis man works

Shu or bubbles if you’re running build up, shu or farmer if you’re building offense imo

[storm hornet]

Absolutely not, Pursuer makes gum spam better, Buu's rush attack is not strong enough to for Wicked Warrior really benefit him kit

[atomic field]

Decided to look into the top 10 players build for this guy, it looks like there’s a consensus on barrier, a split between buildup, strategic, and the top person ran GH, and a split between double jump and defense step

Because of the way that I play towers, I’m going to defer to the defensive options for the first card, and because of how his kit works in regards to heals, I’ll flip a coin on the last

Normally, I am in the camp of not taking a hit is always better than mitigating the hit, but with the giant AOE attacks that are out now, there is some value in just tanking the hit and being able to stay in and do more

[frosty oasis]

what kind of sick majin buu player would run gekishin high

who is backcapping as majin buu

[ornate frigate]

i mean

he's pretty fast

max defense heal focused buu goes hard though

the less time you spend healing in your tower is the more value you're getting

[frosty oasis]

yeah but like

if your backcapping

as buu

your alone (no healing for you or any teammates that might need it elsewhere)
and if you get caught your basically dead because alot of characters have moves that can chase down your s3

[rain granite]

Back door buu is not the greatest due to you being a healer. You aren't doing your job.

If you want to back door gotenks, hit, Gohan are the best for that. Their kit is made for it.

[frosty oasis]

i dont konw alot about gohan

but doesnt he also benefit from being close with an ally in the same way buu does

or can he also activate his supportive abilities without someone else being there like 17 can with his shields

[rain granite]

Benefits yes and he's also a lot faster than buu with a smaller hit box. But it isn't on heal levels like buu and 17... he buffs Def for teammates

[patent flax]

Can someone just help me learn buu 💀

[obsidian phoenix]

Focus on upgrading the gum and healing skills, use the running skill to escape or do more damage, never go ahead of everyone else...

I think the best way to learn is to die and die until you see what works best for you lol

[flint helm]

Don't forget to do your fair share of the DPS against enemies. Especially against people you gum since Buu does extra damage against those with debuffs and gum counts. Also think about laneing with a DPS character that has debuffs to further use this property like 18, dabura, toppo. Etc.

When gum is on cool down heal your team mate.

[obsidian phoenix]

Oh and never upgrade just one skill at the start of the game
People expect you to heal, if you only upgrade gum, you and your partner will die quickly

[rain granite]

healing scales off level not points put into it

All maxing it out does is increase the range and the amont of teamates you can heal

as long as its atleast the 2nd skill you max out youre fine

[obsidian phoenix]

Sorry, I used "upgrade" bcs I'm not a native English speaker
But I actually recommend to maximize the gum, and leave the healing for later, doing more damage helped me in many matches

I think it's more of a personal thing

[rain granite]

no worries , I agree with you

[smoky tulip]

I say lv 2 s2 is great since you want to hit a few folks for team fights and then you rush S1 to max and then finish s2

[rain granite]

By the time team fights start s1 and s2 should be level 2

[storm hornet]

It scales off both, though leveling up increases heal the most

also I'm running Build Up and Steel Skin with him, the buffs to green cards are, noticeable

maybe defense step would be a good idea too...

[idle garden]

4 MVP in a row with Buu

[raw surge]

I got purple Buu badge I love playing him. I go skill 1 then skill 2. Then I max skill 2 fast as possible. Usually I go 2 points into skill 2 before I get skill 3. So I can heal 2 ppl at once,

Sometimes I skip ult as well and put it into skill 1 or 2,

[storm hornet]

I never bother with his ult. S1 and S2 are too important. S3 too if I want to disrupt

[golden lagoon]

They definitely need to make his ult time faster, it's already kinda useless below lv 3 due to size and deals literally no damage, why is it slow as piss too?

Be funny if they allowed him eating someone to actually act as an execute below a threshold though (and turn Dabura into a cookie specifically)

[tawdry socket]

I was Trunks, both teams were attacking the dragons balls, so critical end game moment. I just respawned from death, my opponent Buu was attacking my DB, I went to destroy Buu, and the man Ults me and turns me into chocolate….🤣 they win just for the few seconds of freedom from my presence

[frosty oasis]

this is a hot take

but like

i like to skip s3 for as long as possible to level up ultimate instead

its range at level 2 is not that bad this is not cope its simply not that bad

[errant harness]

I'd argue buu ult's biggest strength is the heal it also provides

Whoever turns into candy is just a nice disruptor

[storm hornet]

If it works for you that's great, but is an odd one where some tools look better for some players than others

[cosmic pebble]

I'm coming back from season 1 and am currently only D1, but it still feels good to get MVP as Buu, twice in the same day

[silk junco]

so what're good cards for buu? i've been trying full reds after hearing it lets him pop people with his strangle gum, but i'm not sure if that's good

[storm hornet]

After the Build Up buffs, I feel Buu is better going all green

[smoky tulip]

I've been trying to think through if Buu's one of the few people that genuinely wants Guardian Angel, but Defensive Step is just good and G.Angel puts you in harsm' way

[silk junco]

is defensive step that good?

isn't it more damage reduction on the damage reduction from build up?

[misty cloak]

I'm thinking of trying buu

how bad is the solo queue experience

or is it actually okay

[smoky tulip]

Bad, because Buu's big contribution is when you have 4v4's and you're healing everybody. Cooperation is not a big trait of solo queue

[misty cloak]

sad

well, I had a feeling it'd be like that but sad lol

[frosty oasis]

its not that bad

just move as your teammate does and youll probably be fine

[misty cloak]

makes me wonder if it's different from playing baby in solo queue cause people just abandon you all the time as baby

if it is then I guess it's worth trying

[storm hornet]

Buu has it better than Baby, he can put up a better fight on his own, and escape if needed

[obsidian phoenix]

Eh, I think the fight you can give depends on your gum level, not many Buus level up "Ready, go!" at the start of the game

Btw, has anyone already raised Buu's star level to 9?
I want to know if it's worth farming memories all week xd

[mystic dawn]

Hi I play broly. If anyone wants to team up and heal me let me know

[tawdry socket]

I hope if you pair with Buu your ally heals you based on your comment

[mystic dawn]

Played a game just earlier and it went really well. A buu healed me every time I had to go heal at the tower. So I could get back to farming and killing players quickly. They were all going against me and I beat 1vs3. Then they tried to rush us so I just went to destroy the last tower go break the dragon shell and grab the dragon ball

It was also useful when buu used his bind attack. So I could beat them more easilly

I feel buu and broly is a really good combo

[frosty oasis]

dude

i tried to candy beam broly while he was doing the stomping move and it did not work

i heart getting my ult denied by a regular move

[mystic dawn]

His single super episode was cool. Where he gets the herbs for roshi with goku. He powered up like that a single time and we never saw it again sadly

[rain granite]

Lol yea he's cc immune in that jump skill

[mystic dawn]

Hi. Looking for a buu player to team up with. I play broly, gotenks, cooler

[rain granite]

Rank?

[mystic dawn]

I'm just d rank. Trying to get higher up

I only learned you get rewarded for a rank recently

[tawdry socket]

I’ll play, I like buu, especially on max skill divine start, I prefer Gotenks however, but I think sometimes it’s hard to find a good support player

[mystic dawn]

Hi. I can add you to our group if you want

[mystic dawn]

Still looking for a buu player

[calm ridge]

if you ult vegito he always turns into worlds strongest candy regardless of levels

[ripe pewter]

Wait is that a joke or are you serious

Btw, wtf do I level up with Buu first

I hear 3 different things at once

[calm ridge]

no im serious

it kept happening where i kept seeing a random candy i couldnt eat despite being higher level than the enemy

then i realised its because vegito cant be eaten

[raw surge]

Yeah his skill 2 jump is no obstruction

[tawdry socket]

Super Start, I was Broly my ally was Buu and immediately used Maxed out healing in me before we got to the first npc
And during both beginning boss fights didn’t show up nor made use of the healing

Only went to the opposite side of boss to get the tower 😣😖 why does this happen and ofc we lost both bosses and I surrendered

[frosty oasis]

this is vile and wicked

[raw surge]

Aye man this is buu tips chat 😭

[raw surge]

Yep. But if you can wait it out and let him come to you you can destroy him or let him jump toward you then vanish step toward him to land behind him but yeh sometimes you’re cooked 😭

[tawdry socket]

Super start Buu should be healing on bosses, and if he wants, depending on which side boss and if enemy has their tower also open to attack, sure. But bosses, Buu, come heal everyone

[obsidian phoenix]

Are you guys still using Buu for ranks?
I try to, but since "aggressive technicals" like Ultimate Gohan and Gotenks came out, early game have gotten tougher

[ornate frigate]

ultimate gohan just makes me not want to play buu

its an awful matchup

[tawdry socket]

Gotenks has gotten nerfed for whatever reason, but yes a good buu player sticks by his allies and heals them while the opponents get chopped, in and out to S1 enemies

And if you’re against Buu you wana take him down asap

[raw surge]

Yeah I got to s with him 3 seasons but I do use gotenks for some of the games but this season like 90% buu for ult Han you gotta stay away from the middle mountain walls also when you’re going for Kai I hug the far wall but if you time your gum on him you can stop him from advancing on you. Gotta position really well and then gum/rush attack run away while healing. He’s tough to deal with but once you get real good at buu and positioning you can outplay them.

[frosty gazelle]

At this point if theres no super start buu isn't an option

[tawdry socket]

Usually go with Gotenks, I can’t not pick him if I do random-play as tech, sometimes Ulthan or buu. But for super start, I’m only buu if I’m going in with powerful allies, broly, sv, ss3, ssj goku uub maybe trunks, I just want to compliment the dps and let them cook but not always the case

[sturdy seal]

Anyone else running guardian angel

[rain granite]

nope I run all blues so all my CD drop 20%

And so I cant die

[obsidian phoenix]

I use one green and two reds bcs I like to do damage with the gum and idk how to use cards
But I think the best builds are with three greens

Defense Step instead of Guardian Angel though

[tawdry socket]

Wym cards? They say how they are activated under the description, and when they’re active, you’ll see “1,2 or 3” pop up by your name, and you’ll see the cards on your bottom left on a cool down, and you’ll see your character highlight a red, green, or blue color emphasizing on it activating

Never tried full green buu, used to like build up, barrier, and lbj, but after Build up needing 3 npcs, I like either too easy the most, or strategic escape

[wary oar]

I run full green including guardian angel and heal from the far backlines

In the worst case scenario where all 3 of my allies die and I have to live to prevent a team wipe I'll have the 20% defensive boost his S3 to run and his ult if I'm really getting ganked

[stable plover]

I used to run it but defense step is so much better

It allows you to drop ball and vanish into skill 3

[rigid lance]

What cards should I try on buu?

[wet folio]

i go Tank Buu so Too Easy, Steel Skin, Backstab/LB Jump (depending on how the game is going)

if you consider Baby a Technical Tank, then Buu is a Tank Technical.

he may not do a lot of damage, but he can take punishment like a champ...

[storm hornet]

I think it's better to pick Build Up still if you're going tank Buu, apparently once you get to 7 stacks it's the same value as Too Easy but without the weaknesses

[wet folio]

The part of too easy I use is the self heal, you can take a ton of hits and swap with the dps, you skill 3 them while too easy heals you too

[storm hornet]

the thing is, the HP is only temporary and only triggers once you take a bunch of hits, if 7 stacks of Build Up are the same thing as Too Easy's extra HP, then by that point Build Up is the superior option

Too Easy is better early, but once Build Up catches up it's the superior option, that'd be specially noticeable with Buu because he heals the HP he lost

[wet folio]

I will have to test it if I like it more

[rain granite]

I go full blue build for the 20% lower cd on all skills and makes buu slippery. Hard to kill b because of all the mobility he gets from blue cards

[storm hornet]

Strategy escape and LBJ?

[raw surge]

I prefer strategic escape, steel skin/barrier/defense step. Mostly i get LBJ for last card. Staying alive is crucial and the strategic escape plus lbj so clutch to run away n heal forever

Alot of times on super start ill go full green so im surviving as everyone hitting like a truck

[storm hornet]

Buu's "forced to eat if you turn someone to candy" is so annoying

Just had a situation where I used my ult to escape an 18 and Krillin who ganged up on me, the plan was to turn them into candy and escape

but since they were so close, Buu ate them, which means once they were spat out they kept attacking me

thankfully I managed to escape but sheesh lol

[frosty geode]

I had one of my favourite Buu moment yesterday

I’m at Jacko with my teammate when I see the ally Toppo at top being under attack by a Uub. I rush to him and I manage to get to Toppo while he’s at like 5% HP. I heal him and we end up killing the Uub.

Best Buu solo q clutch I made so far

[jolly venture]

Is buu gonna be good with S2 reduction cooldown ?

[obsidian phoenix]

S2 is healing ray, right?
Well, yeah, my prediction is that he'll get kind of annoying

[obsidian phoenix]

Yo sorry for the delay
I mean divine combo cards, that's what they're called in English ig
Yeah, my point is that I use a combo of one tank card and two damage cards in all my matches: super snowball, solid barrier and wicked Warrior
Sorry if that sounds like a sin, but it’s worked great for me, at least up to A3

I've never paid attention to blue cards before, but I'll try your combo

[rain granite]

if you go all blue cards hes gonnna be a problem

[wary oar]

Combine him with baby and just make someone like broly nearly immortal

[obsidian phoenix]

Guys THEY BUFFED BUU'S ULTIMATE WOO
Not sure if I can post photos here, so...

Majin Buu (Good)
Super Attack: Candy Ray

• DMG when consuming an enemy turned into Candy changed: 2,000
• Total HP healed when consuming an enemy turned into Candy increased: 100 - 2,000
• Time from Skill activation until beam is released decreased: 1 - 0.75s
• Time until Skill can end decreased: 1.55 - 1.17s

[idle garden]

Yeah, super fells way better to use now

[tawdry socket]

You good man, hope the info helped out. All I have to say is try out everything with your playstyle and the meta, even tho we face against each other people here still help with tips so take their advice too and have fun being a support and please support lol

[wary oar]

Man buu is looking insane rn

Towers (or at least the first towers) heal less which increases the value of his heal
S2 CD boost makes him heal like every 4 seconds
And now his ult doesn't take 3 years to come out

[idle garden]

S2 CD boost makes me feel like a god lmao

[green current]

Fit Buu needs to be a skin

[rapid monolith]

majin buu op

[obsidian phoenix]

reall

[obsidian phoenix]

Ty man
Your build helps me last longer, it's so useful at the end of the game
Can I add you?

[ornate frigate]

h

[tawdry socket]

i

[tawdry socket]

Hey yea sure no problem, hopefully you’re getting the hang of it in this crazy meta

[wary oar]

Finally got the S2 draw on tech and...this amount of buu healing feels illegal

[idle garden]

Real question, cuz this havent happen to me yet, when skill max and super s2 cooldown divine draws show up together, do you go S1 or S2 max first?

When skill max shows up, i usually go S1, 3 gums and the damage is real nice, but when supercool down shows, that might change things

[sage wigeon]

[soft juniper]

how the HELL does someone have 716k battlescore with BUU?!!?!?!?!

[idle garden]

WHAT!?

Did they farm heals all the time on Super S2 CD and Max skill??

On a lobby where everyone knows eachother?

[stoic olive]

prolly

[idle garden]

That... Or perhaps it was a glitched game, when the Zenos AI messed up

That can happen

[stoic olive]

wait wha- havent heard of tht one yet

till now

[idle garden]

I read that rarely Zenos get glitchy and they dont move after a god is defeated or something

Or they get stuck

[stoic olive]

i see

how to increase battlescore btw? in general i mean, regardless of the character i choose?

[idle garden]

Getting gud, like im not being ironic, good KDA, defeating GoDs, beating bosses, overall, a great contribution to your team

Just farming all game and being in a teamfight or 2 wont cut it

[stoic olive]

i see. i also have noticed tht longer matches gives more battlescore

with good team fight participations and high kill counts

thank u for tht information

[soft juniper]

Longer matches are essential for it, otherwise you're only gonna be hitting the early 100ks even if you play perfect

[wary oar]

Jesus...buu is a god when the divine draws are hammers and S2 cooldown

Bro gives an endless supply of hammers while letting no one die

[obsidian phoenix]

Wait how

Hammers are important?

[wary oar]

S3 into a wall since hammers are just free tower damage
#✨game-moments message

[soft juniper]

What do you MEANNNN hammers are important

Of course they're important!!!!

Hammer control is key to winning your lane

[obsidian phoenix]

Loool srry, I just started using them yesterday, thought hammers only hurt enemies

[obsidian phoenix]

Thank uuu

[soft juniper]

brooooooooooooooooooo

They've been around for weeks wdym you only started using them yesterday

Did you just ignore them?!

[obsidian phoenix]

Yea
Maybe bcs I'm at a low rank (A), but I didn't see many ppl using hammers

I thought they only dealt like 20% more damage to enemies, plus you waste time breaking down walls, so I just ignored them

[wet folio]

This is why metallo exists

[soft juniper]

Man, at least you know now

[grizzled grotto]

Nerf him please!!!!

[golden lagoon]

Ain't nothing to even nerf on Fat Buu, what were you on about?

[wary oar]

Probably got annoyed with how much buu could heal with S2 cooldown last season

[frosty oasis]

healing attacks IS the buu nerf bro

[wary oar]

When everyone's fat buu...no one will be

[sand moss]

Buff fat Buu
The Meta has shifted into highburst damage and Buus heal just doesn't sustain his team anymore. Especially against coordinating teams at high rank.

Damage feels weak
He feels really slow in movement speed

[deft pasture]

Skill three is so boring to me for Buu. I wish it was different.

[obsidian phoenix]

Agree
My suggestion is to increase the gum's AoE and its damage
Boosting the healing ray
And for skill three... idk, rn it's only useful for escaping, add something to it
