All Game Items - Dragon Ball FighterZ

All Game Items Guide for Dragon Ball FighterZ

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a 2D fighting game, not an RPG, so it has no traditional weapons, armor, or consumable items that affect combat. Instead, this guide covers every in-game item, currency, collectible, and cosmetic that players can acquire. All items are purely cosmetic or used for customization and progression. Items are identical across PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (except for store-exclusive DLC).

Currencies

#### Zeni

What it is: The main free in-game currency. It looks like a gold coin with the Capsule Corp logo.

How to obtain: Playing matches (online or offline), completing Zeni challenges (in Z-Capsule menu), selling duplicate items from Capsules, and completing Story Mode chapters. Earning rate scales with match length and performance (win bonus).

What it's used for: Buying Capsules from Capsule Corp (Zeni Capsules cost 1,000 Zeni each), purchasing some cosmetic items directly from the Shop (e.g., basic colors, lobby characters), and unlocking certain FighterZ IDs/avatars.

When useful: Always useful for new players to build up their cosmetic collection. Veterans may stockpile Zeni for limited-time events or new capsule rotations.

Synergies/Upgrades: None. Zeni is not craftable or interchangeable with premium currency.

What it is: Premium currency obtained with real money. Icon is a blue coin with “Z” logo.

How to obtain: Purchased from platform stores (Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop). Prices vary by region. Occasionally earned through special events or as part of bundled editions.

What it's used for: Buying DLC characters individually (each costs about $4.99 USD / 500 FGC), purchasing the FighterZ Pass (season passes), buying exclusive cosmetic packs (e.g., Anime Music Packs, Lobby Character Packs), and some rare Z Capsules that rotate.

When useful: When you want specific DLC characters without buying the full pass, or want premium cosmetics.

Synergies/Upgrades: None. It's a direct currency.

What they are: Gacha-style loot boxes that contain random cosmetic items. There are two types: Zeni Capsules (purchased with Zeni) and Premium Capsules (purchased with FighterZ Coins). Premium Capsules have a higher chance for rare items.

How to obtain: Buy them from the Capsule Corp shop using the appropriate currency. Also earn free Capsules from login bonuses, Story Mode rewards, and special events.

What they contain: Player Cards, Titles, Avatars, Stamps, Colors (palettes), Lobby Characters, Figure Poses, Music tracks, Battle Backgrounds, and more. Duplicates are automatically converted to Zeni (common items give 3,000 Zeni, rare items give 10,000 Zeni).

When useful: Whenever you want to expand your cosmetic collection. Capsules are the primary way to get items not sold directly in the Shop.

Synergies/Upgrades: No direct upgrades. Accumulating Capsules allows you to unlock all cosmetics eventually.

Consumables & Materials

What they are: Seven crystal balls (starred 1-7) that appear during online matches or in certain game modes. Collect all seven to summon Shenron.

How to obtain: Playing online casual/ranked matches. After a match, there is a small chance a Dragon Ball will drop from the sky above the victory screen. You can only obtain one Dragon Ball per match. Each ball is numbered; you need all seven distinct numbers.

What they do: Collecting all seven lets you summon Shenron (giant dragon animation) and choose one of several permanent rewards:

Zeni:

Exclusive Player Card Background:

Exclusive Title:

Exclusive Color Palette:

When useful: Useful when you want a specific reward. Zeni is helpful for newer players; experienced players may prioritize the exclusive cosmetic. Once you claim a reward, the Dragon Balls reset and you can collect them again.

Synergies/Upgrades: No upgrades. Each wish grants one item permanently.

Collectibles

What they are: A collection of virtual figurines that you can place in a diorama. Figures are unlocked from Capsules or special events. Each figure has a pose (e.g., fighting stance, signature move). You can also collect Z Stamps (stamps for the in-game chat).

Best check specific offers.

In-game currency: Some pre-orders included 500 FighterZ Coins.

Physical items: Artbook, soundtrack CD, steelbook case, statues.

In-game extras: Usually a code for a lobby character or music pack.

Important Notes & Tips

Capsule Rarity: Items are categorized as Common (grey), Rare (blue), Super Rare (purple), Legendary (gold). Legendary items are mostly lobby characters and certain colors.

Zeni Efficiency: If you aim to collect all cosmetics, it's more efficient to spend Zeni on Zeni Capsules to get duplicates for Zeni refunds than to buy directly from Shop (if available). But check Shop first for any limited-time sales.

Don't waste FGC on Zeni Capsules: Premium Capsules cost real money and have no guaranteed exclusive items. Only buy Premium Capsules if you need rare lobby characters quickly; otherwise, patience with Zeni Capsules works.

Shenron Wishes: Prioritize the exclusive cosmetic reward over Zeni if you want complete collection; Zeni can be farmed infinitely.

DLC Characters: Buying the FighterZ Pass is cheaper than individual purchases. Season passes also include extras like music packs.

Cross-Platform: Items and currencies are not shared across platforms. Progress is tied to your account on each system.
