Passive Skill

Active Skill

Massively raises ATK temporarily and causes ultimate damage to enemy; Ki +5 and DEF +20% in battle; Can be activated when the Domain “City (Future) (Rainy)” is active (once only)

Domain

Increases damage received by Extreme Class enemies and allies by 30%

Ability Breakdown & Final Thoughts

LR Future Gohan is a Super Class STR Type character with incredible defensive capabilities, being practically unkillable with up to 80% damage reduction. He also has access to built-in additional and critical attacks, massively increasing his offensive capabilities. Moreover, his Domain: “City (Future) (Rainy) causes Extreme Class enemies to take 30% more damage, allowing your entire team to deal more damage.

The only “downside” to this character is that his Domain also increases damage taken by your Extreme Class allies by 30%, but this can easily be played around by not running Extreme Class allies with Gohan.

Although his leader skill is amazing, giving 3 Ki and 200% to stats to Future Saga allies, you’re better off running him on a Future Saga Team led by LR “All-Out Final Battle” Super Saiyan God SS Goku & Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta.

With his versatility in teams, impenetrable defence, and support capabilities, LR Future Gohan is up there as an uncontested Top 3 character in the game, with a strong argument to be #1.

Banner Analysis

Global

This banner features incredible units such as LR “Earth-Shaking Immense Power” Super Saiyan Goku, LR “Destructive Scattershot Strike” Buu (Super), and LR “Infinite Terror” Metal Cooler, all of which are amazing units.

Despite LR Bulma being available on the LR Trunks banner, this banner is still worth your Dragon Stones. However, if you already have LR Bulma, there’s no reason to skip out on this excellent banner.

Banner Rating: 7/10

JP

The LR Future Gohan Banner on JP Dokkan simply outclasses the LR Trunks Banner.

The JP version replaced Carnival LR Super Saiyan Goku with LR “A Soul Pumped Up in Battle” Goku, a much better unit when compared to the latter, making this by far the better banner.

When it comes to Carnival Banners, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Banner Rating: 8/10

Carnival LR “Hope at the End of a Deadly Showdown” Super Saiyan Trunks (Future) [PHY]

Leader Skill

“Time Travelers” Category Ki +3 and HP, ATK & DEF +200%

Super Attacks

Super Attack – Raises ATK & DEF for 1 turn and causes colossal damage to enemy

Ultra Super Attack – Raises DEF, greatly raises ATK for 1 turn and causes mega-colossal damage to enemy

Passive Skill

Activates the Entrance Animation upon entry (once only); Ki +3 and launches an additional attack that has a great chance of becoming a Super Attack for 4 turns from start of turn; Ki +3 and ATK & DEF +150%; plus an additional ATK +100% when performing a Super Attack; plus an additional Ki +1 (up to +5) and DEF +10% (up to 50%) with each attack performed.

Reduces damage received by 10% within the same turn with each Super Attack performed (up to 30%); plus an additional ATK +100% and launches an additional attack that has a high chance of becoming a Super Attack as the 2nd or 3rd attacker in a turn; launches an additional attack that has a high chance of becoming a Super Attack starting from the 5th turn from the start of battle.

Standby Skill

Stands by for 4 turns, during which charge count increases by 1 per attack performed by allies. ;Can be activated starting from the 5th turn from the start of turn (once only)

Ability Breakdown & Final Thoughts

Although he absolutely cannot be ran in Slot 1, as he needs to build up his damage reduction every turn, LR Future Trunks excels in Slot 2, having abilities that further boost his offensive capabilities and damage reduction in said slot.

His main flaw is that his damage reduction is inconsistent, being reset every turn and having a chance to not fully build up even on the turn, causing him to get caught easily under certain circumstances.

Not too dissimilar to LR Future Gohan, Trunks’s leader skill is amazing, giving 3 Ki and 200% to stats to Time Traveler allies, but you’re better off running him on a team led by LR “All-Out Final Battle” Super Saiyan God SS Goku & Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta to better teammate options.

Despite his flaws, Trunks is still a Top 10 character in the game, being able to put up amazing attack stats and being able to be ran with a lot of top-tier options with these good links.

Banner Analysis

Global

Global players would be ecstatic to hear that LR “A Quest That Makes Wishes Come True” Bulma (Youth) is featured on the banner. Her inclusion on the banner means that LR Trunks would be overshadowed on his debut banner, being reduced to the 2nd prize.

The other featured characters, LR “Extraordinary Super Warrior” Super Saiyan Goku and LR “Dawn of an Ideal World Fusion Zamasu” are also better than the side units of the LR Future Gohan Banner, which makes an excellent case for summoning on this banner instead.

This banner is an absolute must-summon for those who skipped out on LR Bulma on her initial banner, as even the compensation prizes are a brand new Carnival LR and 2 top-tier picks.

Value: 8/10

JP

LR Bulma is unfortunately missing from the Japanese Version of the banner, instead being replaced by LR “Beyond the Shining Clouds” Gohan (Kid), which is by no means a bad pick, just not nearly as valuable as having the best unit on the banner.

Unfortunately, the exclusion of LR Bulma and the LR Future Gohan Banner having better featured characters means this banner is not worth your Dragon Stones unless you really want Trunks.

Value: 3/10

Conclusion

Regardless of the version, LR Future Gohan is shaping up to be a must-summon due to his impressive abilities and banners.

As for LR Trunks, it is good idea to summon on Global thanks to the presence of LR Bulma, but he should be avoided by players without stones to spare on JP.
