Awoken Skill

**Awoken Skill**or a transformation is a class of attacks in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. They empower their user in a specific way, which may make them in a way an ultimate equivalent of buff supers. All of them require user to have specific amount of Ki to transform, but don't actually consume it, with exception of Pure Progress and Ultra Instinct. Some of the transformations have several stages, which may be skipped if user has enough Ki to go to the next stage. A character under effect of a lower transformation can transform to a higher stage if they gain sufficient amount of ki, otherwise the transformation slot is replaced with an option to unlock awoken skill. All characters have one awoken skill slot.

## Effects and Changes

### All Races

Some **Awoken Skills** are available to all races. Kaioken grants a red aura and tints the user a red color. Kaioken x3 and x20 use the same skill, at different activation costs. Potential Unleashed grants a white aura to the user. Beast grants HuM/SaM and HuF/SaF white hair much like Gohan (Beast), a new aura, and red eyes. Ultra Instinct gives the user similar visual properties as Goku (Ultra Instinct).

### Saiyan

All Super Saiyan forms change the appearance of the user. Several characters have special appearances. Custom player characters gain a golden aura, their hair color changes to gold, and their eye color change to green. Level two adds electricity to auras and level three gives CaCs a unique hair style. All Super Saiyan forms gain a Z-Vanish to the beginning of strike combos and to the end of charged blast Supers and Ultimates. Increased levels Z-Vanish further to start strike combos.

*\*The in-game description for Future Super Saiyan states that it "can recover Ki faster then any other form of Super Saiyan". However, this appears to be an error in translation, as what the form actually does is boost stamina regeneration to be faster than normal.*

\*\*Super Saiyan God (Male/Female) also grants the user additional buffs; a Speed bonus of +12.5% and a Basic Attack bonus of 60%.

### Other

* **Power Pole Pro** is a Human Male and Human Female only ability described as, "Increases speed, increases range of basic strikes, can move while blocking, revert after taking a certain amount of damage, skills disabled."

* **Become Giant** is a Namekian only ability that changes almost all abilities and actions. Upon casting the CaC will grow in size, dramatically. Their final size is about the same as an Oozaru. This form drains 20 Stamina per second. If the user runs out of stamina, Become Giant will end.

* **Turn Golden** is a Frieza only ability that increases the damage of normal ki blasts to 366.67%, for the first two in a combo and 122.22% for all subsequent. Ki blast combo is now 13x attacks instead of 15x. Total ki blast combo is 122.22% of normal strength. Increases strength of charged ki blast to 360% of normal power. Charged ki blasts become a quick blast, overriding any change by Super Souls.

 Frieza

* **Purification** is a Majin Male and Majin Female only ability that changes almost all abilities and actions. Upon casting the CaC will take a form nearly identical to Kid Buu, except that they will retain their skin color. In this form, all Stamina recovery is halted and all of their abilities will change. If the user runs out of stamina, Purification will end.

 Majin
