Goku has had many companions throughout his entire life in the Dragon Ball series. Many of them are powerful fighters that pushed him to his limits as well as helped shatter those limits. Fans, however, will never forget the first time he’s ever transformed into the golden-haired Super Saiyan, thanks to none other than his marshmallow-headed best friend, Krillin.

Recommended Strategy
Krillin’s stats aren’t much to look at, unfortunately. With his low stats, his DP cost is also extremely low, sitting at a meager three points. This will at least allow for stronger allies when building a team, though don’t assume he is completely useless.
Krillin has access to a very useful set of abilities that work both in offensive and defensive playstyles. Solar Flare will blind opponents who are playing hyper-aggressive, leaving them wide open to any of your follow-up attacks for a few seconds. Afterimage Strike is also a very effective defensive tool, capable of negating any melee attack thrown by the opponent for 15 whole seconds.
Afterimage Strike should be used preemptively before engaging to maximize its use.
Kamehameha should be used at the end of a combo launch or when the opponent is attempting to charge their Ki at a distance. Charging the Kamehameha will increase its damage the longer it’s held, though this is unsafe if done in neutral.
Spread Energy Wave, unfortunately, has no use during a combo and is much better used as a ranged poking tool.
Solar Flare can be used to almost always guarantee a fully charged Kamehameha or Spread Energy Wave, as the opponent will be unable to defend against something they can’t see.
While in Sparking Mode, deal as much damage as you can with the increased combo damage before ending with the Chain Destructo Disc.
It is possible to chain a Kamehameha into a Chain Destructo Disc, though you’ll need to be quick to activate it.
