Each Soul has unique properties:
There are three primary methods to acquire Dragon Souls, each with different strategies and requirements:
After collecting all seven Dragon Balls, you can summon Shenron and choose the "Dragon Soul Wish" option. This method offers the best chances for obtaining rare Souls:
Pro Tip: Save your Dragon Balls for Shenron wishes when specifically targeting high-rarity Souls, as the drop rates are significantly better than other methods.
Visit the Spin NPC in Port Prospera to spin for Souls using GP (Gamepass Points). Each spin costs 40 gold and provides a random Soul:
Strategy: Use GP spins early game to build your Soul collection, but don't rely on them for end-game rare Souls due to extremely low drop rates.
Shattered Souls are collectible items scattered across the game world that provide free spins:
Farming Strategy: Create a daily route to collect all 33 world Shattered Souls. This provides 8 free spins per day, making it the most sustainable method for regular players.
Souls obtained from spins are temporary and will be lost when you spin for a new one. To permanently save a Soul, you need a Perma Stone:
| Soul Rarity | Robux Cost | Value Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 250 Robux | Not recommended |
| Rare | 500 Robux | Only for favorites |
| Epic | 1,000 Robux | Consider for mains |
| Legendary | 1,500 Robux | Worth it for top-tier |
| Zenkai | 2,000 Robux | Essential for end-game |
Expert Advice: Test Souls thoroughly before purchasing Perma Stones. Many players regret spending Robux on Souls they later find don't match their playstyle.

Stats: +800% Strength, +1000% Ki Power, +900% Health, +600% Ki Max
Duration: 180 seconds
Drop Rates: Shenron 0.01%, GP Spins 0.001%, Shattered Souls 0%

Duration: 180 seconds
Drop Rates: Shenron 0.99%, GP Spins 0.099%, Shattered Souls 0.0995%
Why It's A-Tier: Excellent melee-focused Soul with fast cooldowns and balanced stats. Perfect for aggressive playstyles but slightly less versatile than Destruction Soul.
Why It's S-Tier: Incredible versatility with both high-damage projectile and transformation options. The Spirit Bomb is one of the most visually impressive and powerful attacks in the game.
Why It's A-Tier: Excellent crowd control with good damage output. The black hole effect is both visually stunning and practically useful for grouping enemies.
Why It's A-Tier: Unique melee-focused Soul with excellent critical hit potential. The bleed damage and unblockable attacks make it formidable in extended combat.
Why It's B-Tier: Good damage potential but limited by unknown duration and less versatility compared to other Legendary Souls.
Why It's A-Tier: Excellent balance of damage, range, and accessibility. The highest drop rate among Epic Souls makes it a reliable choice for most players.
Why It's B-Tier: Good damage but limited range holds it back from higher tiers. Best used when surrounded by enemies.
Why It's B-Tier: Unique utility with time-stop ability, but short duration and long charge time limit its effectiveness. Can be game-changing in the right situations.
Why It's C-Tier: Niche healing ability with limited combat application. More useful for prolonged battles but lacks the damage output of other Epic Souls.
Ability: Activates highest-level Kaioken for 30 seconds without HP drain, with cutscene follow-up attack Meter Charge: 0.83%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: Shenron 16.2%, GP Spins 9%, Shattered Souls 9%
Why It's C-Tier: Good stat boost but confusing to use effectively. The Kaioken effect is powerful but the 30-second limit makes it situational.
Ability: Creates an impenetrable shield lasting 18 seconds (duration decreases when hit)
Meter Charge: N/A (instant activation)
Drop Rates: Shenron 16.2%, GP Spins 7.5%, Shattered Souls 7.5%
Why It's B-Tier: Excellent defensive utility that can turn the tide in difficult battles. The shield's decreasing duration when hit balances its power.
Ability: Creates a massive explosion damaging nearby enemies
Meter Charge: 0.55%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: Shenron 10.8%, GP Spins 6%, Shattered Souls 6%
Why It's C-Tier: Basic explosion ability with nothing special to distinguish it. Reliable but unremarkable damage output.
Ability: Random pose grants 30-second buff: Ginyu (+Ki), Burter (+Speed), Jeice (+Ki Power), Recoome (+Strength), Guldo (+Stamina Regen)
Meter Charge: N/A (instant activation)
Drop Rates: Shenron 10.8%, GP Spins 6%, Shattered Souls 6%
Why It's F-Tier: The randomness makes it unreliable, and the 10% buffs are minimal compared to other Souls' effects. Avoid unless you have no other options.
Ability: Limits damage from any single attack to 10% of max HP for 20 seconds, +10% Health/Strength Meter Charge: 0.503%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: Shenron 0%, GP Spins 4.5%, Shattered Souls 4.5%
Why It's C-Tier: Situational defensive ability with limited offensive value. Useful against burst damage but lacks versatility.
These Souls provide basic stat buffs and are most common for new players:
Effect: +25% Max HP for 60 seconds
Meter Charge: 1.7%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: GP Spins 15%, Shattered Souls 15%
Effect: +25% Ki Power for 60 seconds
Meter Charge: 1.7%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: GP Spins 15%, Shattered Souls 15%

Meter Charge: 1.7%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: GP Spins 15%, Shattered Souls 15%
Effect: +25% Strength for 60 seconds
Meter Charge: 1.7%/s (120 seconds to full)
Drop Rates: GP Spins 15%, Shattered Souls 15%
Why They're D-Tier: While better than nothing, these basic buffs become obsolete quickly. Use them early game but aim to upgrade to Rare or Epic Souls as soon as possible.
Before investing in Perma Stones, follow this testing process:
For free-to-play players:
The Destruction Soul is universally considered the best due to its unmatched damage output and versatility. However, the "best" Soul ultimately depends on your playstyle - Life Soul is excellent for balanced gameplay, while Savior Soul excels in melee combat.
There are 57 Shattered Souls available: 33 scattered across the open world and 24 obtainable through main story quests. They respawn daily, allowing you to collect them repeatedly.
Yes, but it's extremely difficult. Zenkai Souls have drop rates as low as 0.001% from GP spins and 0.01% from Shenron wishes. Your best free method is consistent daily Shattered Souls farming combined with saving Dragon Balls for Shenron wishes.
Without a Perma Stone, Souls are temporary and will be replaced when you spin for a new one. This means you'll lose access to any Soul you haven't permanently saved, so it's crucial to use Perma Stones on Souls you want to keep long-term.
Currently, Souls cannot be traded between players. Each player must obtain their own Souls through the available methods: Shenron wishes, GP spins, or Shattered Souls collections.
The developers regularly add new Souls and balance existing ones, typically with major game updates. Follow the official Discord and Twitter for announcements about new Soul additions and balance changes.
Mastering the Souls system in Dragon Soul is essential for becoming a powerful fighter. From the basic stat boosts of Uncommon Souls to the game-changing transformations of Zenkai Souls, understanding each Soul's strengths, weaknesses, and acquisition methods will give you a significant advantage.
