Beginner tips: passports, avatars and first plays
Start with the free trial Diver Passport found at the machine, which saves up to 30 plays, then move your data to a regular Diver Passport or other Amusement IC card. A regular passport is needed for rank match, teams, tournaments and many card campaigns. The tips below are compiled from the official how-to-play pages; they are not based on our own play.
| Feature | Trial Diver Passport | Regular Diver Passport |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free, one per person, at the machine | Sold separately at toy shops and arcades |
| Saves | Up to 30 plays; unusable from the 31st | No limit stated |
| Avatars | 1 | Up to 5 |
| Rank, casual, friend and in-store matches, SDBH mode | Not available | Available |
| Teams and tournaments | Not available | Available |
| Guaranteed-card and web campaigns | Not eligible | Eligible |
| Web rankings | Scores not recorded | Recorded |
Your first sessions
On first use of the trial passport you set a numeric password, which the trial passport page tells you to note down for your second play. When you register a regular passport, a tutorial runs first and then you create your avatar. Bandai warns that the birthday and age you enter cannot be changed later, and the name can be changed only once at set times. If you have Super Dragon Ball Heroes data to carry over, do that before making Super Divers data on a new passport.
Build up your avatar and Watch
Your avatar comes with a Super Divers Watch that records growth and holds Watch apps. You can bring up to ten apps to a battle and use one. Power ore earned from play can be spent at Bulma’s lab. Options there include random three- or four-star apps (100 ore guarantees four stars), experience, special moves, an extra avatar slot, a larger app box and a skill tree reset. Set 13’s God of Destruction memory and three free resets make it a sensible time to rethink a skill tree.
Practice timing in Strike Battle Rush
Because card strength and skills do not affect Strike Battle Rush, it isolates the button-timing part of the game. Bandai suggests it for raising your avatar, and registered cards still gain master–pupil gauge. You have one life. The Set 13 stage adds an avatar special move as a limited bonus.
Online play and teams
Rank match has five tiers from Bronze to God, with bonuses for win streaks and for beating players two ranks above you. Bronze 5 players gain points even when they lose. You can form a team of up to four friends with a team code, then compete in team rank match by combined wins. The team page says a team disappears if all members leave and its name cannot be changed.
Campaign cards run out
Most card campaigns end when stocks run out, even inside their stated period. Check the title-screen icons and the official news before travelling for a specific card.
