Winning in Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra isn’t just about raw power or flashy transformations. One of the most overlooked mechanics in the game is the Divine Combo Card system.
Choosing the right cards at the right time can completely change a match, letting you survive against heavy damage, shred tanky opponents, or outmaneuver ranged enemies. Also check out our Beginner Guide generally, and tier list on the best characters in the game.
This guide will walk you through the basics of Divine Combo Cards, every card available, how combo bonuses work, and how to adapt your picks mid-fight for maximum impact.
The Basics of Divine Combo Cards
- Total Cards: 18 cards, divided into three sets of six.
- Unlock Requirement: Cards become available starting at Roll Rank D4.
- How to Use: Fill the Card Energy Gauge by dealing damage (to heroes or the God of Destruction). Once full, you can select one card from each set. Depending on the colors chosen, you also unlock a Combo Bonus for that match.
Colors:
- Red (Attack) → Boosts offense.
- Green (Defense) → Improves survivability.
- Blue (Technical) → Provides mobility, cooldown reduction, and utility.

Best Universal Picks

- Set 3: Pursuer, Defense Step, Limit-Breaking Jump.
This setup gives you damage, survivability, and mobility without locking you into niche playstyles.
When to Swap Cards Mid-Match
Smart swapping is the difference between holding a lead or throwing a game.
- Struggling to survive? → Go Green (Steel Skin, Buildup).
- Can’t finish kills? → Go Red (Lightning Swift, Giant Slayer).
- Getting zoned by ranged enemies? → Go Blue (Gekkashin High, Art of Decoy, Limit-Breaking Jump).
Think of it this way:
- Green = Live longer.
- Red = Kill faster.
- Blue = Outplay pressure.
Divine Combo Cards are one of the most flexible systems in Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra. By learning what each card does, how combo bonuses work, and when to swap, you’ll always have a strategic edge. Whether you’re tanking, carrying, or supporting, the right card choices can flip entire matches.
