Full Ultra Instinct Awoken Skill Breakdown! Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 

I feel they should have at least given it a speed boost. This would make it pair nicely with Toppo’s Super Soul. But I suppose the auto dodge, transformation counter, free counter, free soaring fist, and free charge makes up for it. You pretty much have three free Super Attacks plus your regular four with this awoken

I like the counter feature and the change to the ki blast, that was well thought out. Though they could’ve made it so you get a stat boost when your health is in the danger zone.

Ultra Instinct isnt what i expect but its pretty good. Wish there was SOME kinda stat buff

I honestly combined UI with the “Damn… gonna have to go all out” super soul to compensate for it not having a stat boost and it definitely does make a noticeable difference plus the XXL speed boost the super soul gives is a good extra on top of that, helps make it more nimble

OK after testing... -UI requires and consumes 5 bars of Ki to activate. -It's does not change any of your damage output, defense (damage reduction), or speed or Ki recovery or stamina recovery. -It grants auto-dodge at the cost of 1 stamina bar per dodge. -After a dodge press "A" to perform a counter attack that is undodgable for 3000 damage accross the board for all builds. Cost is one Ki bar. (1 stamina bar to dodge the a Ki bar to counter) -Your basic Ki blast are now weaker versions of Soaring Fist doing roughly a quarter of the Strike Skills damage. -Your charged Ki blasts are now a weaker version of Spirit Pulse doing roughly half the damage of the Strike Skills. -Holding block and pressing "Y" will activat s Surging Spirit. (You do not need a charge skill in your load out to use this) -The start up animation takes roughly 5.5 seconds. -You return to base form if your stamina is broken -If your get attacked in the middle of the start up animation you auto counter attack with a special undodgable attack. This is a purely defense and counter attack based form with no real damage increase whatsoever.

I like the fact that you can counter while in the middle of transforming. It kinda fixes the issue that the Beast transformation had

A good super soul that ties with UI is "You've awaken my true Power", the stamina recovery and small boost to stats is pretty useful!

I love this awoken and honestly I don't even mind that it doesn't give a boost to stats. Although I do wish they buffed beast and take away that damage debuff and lower the damage you do to be slightly less than ssgss in exchange. Since ssgss or ssb does 25% the beast transformation should maybe be 20%.

Who else combined UI with data input for infinite dodge 😂

Now that I think about it, kinda wish at minimum, strike and ki ultimates could've been boosted if nothing else stat wise for now in the event they add buffs later like they did for other awokens Still grateful for them even giving us this transformation and for free as well as it being so easily accessible. Changes can still come in the next dlc/next gen version.

With the free ability slot thanks to the built in spirit surge you can just run a buff technique or something like that

One last thing worth mentioning is if you are stamina broken whether from your enemy or if you do it yourself, Ultra Instinct will deactivate. Proceed with caution everyone.

One thing: If your stamina breaks...bye bye transformation (kinda like kaioken)

To be honest I feel like UI is a awoken that is useful for drawing aggro. I can imagine using this to help others by drawing enemies to me while others damage them. And just be dodging and weaving and countering. Especially when you can equip more moves to help in raids. At least for drawing aggro. But I like to screw around when I got enough damage to the raid boss. And just take more damage and aggro.

A slight speed buff and more importantly a basic attack buff should of been implemented. We clearly saw Goku go from barely doing damage in Blue Kaioken on Jiren to serving straight lethal combos in UI.

I mean, I've been waiting seven years for this, but hey at least we have now

Imagine Majins with 200 in Health or Frieza Race with 200 is Ki Blast Supers, Or 200 In Stam with Gigant Namekian, this game about to be getting crazier

I think we should have ssj3 or beast stance imo

i love this transformation so much but i wish they changed the idle animation like how they did with beast

UI is ok, If you use it with 'data input' you can basically have it with a very low ki consummation. Beast Gohan's Demon flash strike is broken now, anyone else know of any other moves that have been changed or currently broken?

この覚醒スキルは攻撃よりも防御を優先するプレイヤー向けであり、ゲームの特定の領域に適していない場合でも、この覚醒スキルには用途があります。不当な掴みの悪用がほぼ無効になるので、私のプレイスタイルに合っているので気に入っています。

Ui should have been an awoken buff with ssg. Boosted normal attacks/ki blasts and unique combos

Data input stacked with ui allows you to dodge everything but ki blast supers and ults & eliminates the stamina drain you get from dodging with ui for 30secs, stack that with auto dodge limit burst makes you invincible for 30secs

I can see why they didn't give it a damage boost. But this can be worked around with certain super souls and such. Though I see it as a more counter offensive awoken skill, rewarding more patience rather than ki cancel.

Truthfully, that skill should’ve been UI omen because all it does is give a auto dodge in the few other abilities there’s no damage increase

I actually enjoy the transformation and what it offers, but idk why it's the mastered version and not the omen version. It seems like that's how it preforms. Mastered UI is immensely strong, we should have gotten a small buff somewhere.

This honestly feels like OMEN UI

It's a good utility transformation depending on how you play

I see it as more of a utility transformation. You are really only using it for the auto dodging. Makes sense since it's more of a technique rather than a full on transformation.

I can't say it's a good or bad transformation. I'd say it's...decent. The auto dodge is a great feature at first sight, but you really need to take care of your stamina more than before and the timing to do a counter takes some practice to get the timing right (especially if you plan to use the form in PvP, which suffers from a notoriously bad netcode). Unfortunately, the counter does barely any damage despite taking two ki bars. If it's going to cost me that much, the damage needs to be higher. Otherwise, it should only cost 1 ki bar. A personal gripe: the look of the counter is severely underwhelming, so that's another negative; and I say that having seen Unleashed's Celestial Whirlwind skill from one of his Random Skill Packs, so I expected something to that degree. The change in ki blasts is a nice touch, but I'd prefer if you could hold the ki blast button to do up to three Soaring Fists. It would be less damage than the super attack version to balance it out. I don't like ki canceling or ki stunning, so not being able to do that doesn't bother me. Having no stat increases at all is underwhelming. I'd be fine with a 5% increase to attacks across the board or a 10% increase at the cost of taking 5% more damage. Attack aside, what really gets me is there's no increase to speed either. Ultra Instinct is shown to have godlike speed, yet there's no increase to our CaC's movement speed. It's like Dimps were so concerned or scared about balance that they just did nothing and called it a day. The transformation overall makes me feel like I'm fighting in base form but with some extra features. Those extra features are nice to have, and seeing the built-in ki charge that I see in mods now become an official thing is a solid plus, but those features leave a lot to be desired. Side note on the ki charge: it's not affected by super souls that give benefits from using a ki charge skill (e.g., "HAAAAA!") since, well...the ki charge isn't a skill, but rather an input; I don't know if that bit was intentional or Dimps overlooked that. Ultra Instinct is _okay_ but it needs a few buffs here and there. If the other transformations have to get buffed in response, that's fine. I know I'd like Potential Unleashed to get buffed.

My only complaints are once again UI is now another transformation that SHOULD have the ability change your fighting style completely while in that form and it doesn't, your stance doesn't change which is like the least they could have done and why in the fuck are we not stronger in that form??? Half great half ass to me. It's really cool and I'm looking forward to trying it myself but really wish and hope those things had something put in to them.

A stance change and an echoing voice would have done the form perfect for me even without stat boost tbh

You know with how they implemented UI with its own charge skill and prompt for it might be their way of testing charge type skills getting their own button prompt just like Kakarot if memory servers it the same way to charge in that game too. Would be nice if this comes to be true.

I appreciate that it swaps out a stat boost for some convenience like the charge and the counter. I would’ve given it a less punishable transformation animation though. More similar in speed to Blue Evolution.

While using it i told my self this damage doesn't feel ultra.

I wished there were at least a slight damage buff and stance change

Bro they should’ve gave ui a special combo like beast and a bit of a damage boost like 15-10% damage but either way it’s gonna remain as my favorite transformation it would make ui op but that’s what ui is supposed to be op

They dropped the ball on this, we been waiting for this just for it to be underwhelming.

I think I still prefer beast and SSG over mui, the beast aura is superior and you have a different stance with it plus the additional stats that come with them are pretty good.

the fact that you can get a faster transformation counter if you use it right before you’re attacked is cool

No ranked player is using it in a month because they can't Ki cancel

Can they possibly add ssj4 already and legendary super Saiyan

Another flaw he did not mention was the lack of any TPs (Teleports): No basic attack teleports, No charged heavy teleports, and No Super attack Fully charged beam teleports; like Kamehameha. Combined with the lack of speed buffs it really makes the form lukewarm at best. I thought the whole point of UI was being so fast with your strikes not even you know what you're doing, Really feels like we got cheated on this one. Balance be dammed

9:43 “most likely you are going to die.” 💀

The dodge is epic like the anime

I feel like the no stat buffs can easily be negated by using the BEAST supersoul. And to top it off, the new caps on attribute means it can get a lil extra push if need be. Overall pretty pvp viable for defensive playstyles and most importantly having fun.

I can understand everybody's want for a state increase, but they keep it kool, an chroniclewith the show. UI isn't technically a trinformation similar to SS4. In US case it's a state of mind and being.

The form is more of a reinforcement/utility awoken. It’s definitely more defense centric. But just like Beast, the animation for the transformation is very long and is easy to punish. You just have to wait for the first half of the sequence to complete. After the aura spark and their ki is spent, they no longer have the counter effect and it pretty much functions as a normal awoken skill with super armor. You can just aura burst dash to break their guard, or perfect block the aura spark and use a charge heavy. Unlike Beast, you don’t even retain the form after being broken. And if you’re running more than 10 bars of stamina, that’s game over.

It actually increase stamina recharges speed by a absurd amount. Don't know if anyone noticed that i did in my game. Have a nice day everyone!

I lowkey think it ups your speed a little and staimania regen but to be honest it kinda sucks. People are going to use it like ss3 just for style affect. Got to use a super soul to bring out big damage. At least giant and kid buu boost your attack power this is just some to play around with proably be lowkey op on a human or frost demon race tho.

My main complaint is that it was too easy to unlock. I understand they’re trying to get people excited to play, but as someone whose played since XV1, I was disappointed, especially after all of the previous free update awoken skills. I don’t even think there was a level req. The beast quest with cell max was pretty cool. I think with the stat cap increase, UI is viable. I’ve already encountered someone with 15 bars of stamina using UI who knew how to perfect block every hit, and it was the least fair match I’ve ever had. My main is lvl 107 with 0H 42K 42S 180(ish)BA 60SS 60KS. Honestly, I think having max stamina might be the new meta.

Ui gonna let me dodge overdue bills💨

It need buffs. Feels weird because in the anime it is bowerful.

If transformed and you get hit will counter your opponent

Ultra Instinct is pretty good on Frieza race CaC with their built in stamina regen in combat since it doesn't stop during combos, the Awoken can use a bit of help though. Maybe a Speed buff but im glad they didn't go overboard with the transformation so they can tweak it later.

The benefit of the autododge, is once they run out of ki, they can't regen unless they try to charge, or they start getting pummeled.

It makes sense honestly, ultra instinct was about avoidance and def iirc, and i may be wrong. But they may be saving a boost in stats for UE, at the cost of life loss fornpower trade? Pure speculation though ive yet to dp anything with it.

UI seems awkward as hell mainly because it takes and uses 5 bars of ki versus other options. Think about it for needing 5 bars of ki and using them beast gives a crazy damage boost and new combo/stamina break. PU, and the blues don't use the 5 bars of ki while god needs 3 bars of ki. The charge on UI sounds cool on paper but bad in execution because since it takes 5 bars means that you'll probably need a charge skill in the first place, and alternatively if you built up 5 ki you would rather use skills in any situation pvp or pve. If they really want to balance it just make it cost minimum 3 bars of ki maximum 4 because 5 is kinda steep considering what it gives the player

I don't think the lack of a damage buff matters too much in pvp since games end with a stamina break usually and if you cant get 26k damage out of a stamina break, that's a player issue. The "bonus skills" aren't amazing, but they're free, so there will be niche applications for them, but they're nothing to build around. Imo the best thing about the auto dodge is that encourages your opponent to use ki in neutral situations, which can be easily punished. I think new players and ki cancelers are going to end up hating it, but people that really master the nuances are going to be match-up nightmares.

Seems to only increase counterattacks ultra instinct is a purely defensive ability truthfully I don't think this is Master ui

Honestly the counter is likely intended to be used as a combo breaker. You can literally interrupt normal strings and knock your opponent back. This could be good if you're low on stamina and don't want to break yourself by auto-dodging.

Can you make an updated build on your ultra instinct video you made 11 days ago? I want to make a proper UI build without data input. So your best ideas for a video i want to try out.

Cabby man you're the best bro you bring saiyan energy to every video I respect that always

Personally pvp wise I'll be choosing ssb or ssg over mui because of the lack of stat boost,overall I think it's finally cool to have this awoken skill I just wished at the very least it would have the same stat increase as potential unleashed imo

This is why i prefer cabby over other xv creators he tell you what u need to know not obvious stupidity you can observe on your own

UI is ok I just wish it had some stat buffs I'm currently using it on my CAC but I'm thinking of going back to SSBE only cause there is nothing really that makes it good in PVP

Was waiting for a vid like this. Ur the goat cabby

I feel like they can give it one when you get under like 50 or 25% health but at the same time, it just gives you more room to combine your super souls and your extra skill points to make your damage and base form

Should at least have some major speed buff and minor damage buff since UI is heavily linked with speed in the anime

This awoken isn’t good or bad. It’s literally the definition of mid. You don’t have any stat increases and you no longer can Ki cancel in this move.

THATS WHY YOUR THE GOAT THE GOOOOOOAT

I feel like you can really mix up the work if you just max out stamina and use light evasives to become untouchable

I feel like our character should get faster in terms of speed and combos speed also combos should have been more ultra instinct like on at least more like ultra instinct sign

Thanks Cab. Can't wait to try this out.

Just a heads up with the counter of this awoken skill. I was running some PQ's and was getting ganged up on. The person I was targeted was far away and when I execute the counter, My character appeared behind the person I targeted far away. I believe there was a confused look on the enemy before the animation started to hit them. Hopefully you get to see this.

It's bottom of the bucket in terms of viability for pvp right now, and not amazing for pve either. Blue evolved is still king. That being said, I think this awoken would be really viable if they added a flat 5% damage increase, a huge speed increase reminiscent of Dyspo's awoken, an increase of max ki while transformed, possibly rivaling meditation, and a huge increase in ki generation, rivaling divinity unleashed. That would make this form all about speed and ki generation which I think would make it very unique and much more fun to play. The ki increase and generation is a bit of a wild idea, but this is the same update where they added a 900% damage increase item to the game in the form of the Zeno button, so who cares.

Reduce stamina cost dodging basic ki blasts, (half a bar or quarter) buff to movement speed, increase all damage by (S or M) amount, able to ki cancel using souring fist, increase counter cost by one more bar, increase range and a tiny damage buff to spirit pulse. Similar to Ssj God awoken and its damage cues. Ui gives combo animations increased speed if button is timed correctly similar to ssj gods melee damage boosts.

Imo, I like how they balanced it but sadly that left it feeling underpowered. It needs one or two stat boosts to actually make it good. I would love a 5% damage boost or a noticeable speed boost to really sell the power increase. As it stands right now, it's maybe better than the vanilla SSJ forms, Beast (solely because UI has a safer transform animation), and Kaioken but it's worse than PU and all of the god SSJ forms, which is a weird place for it to be

Beast got a buff. Same stats so far as I can tell, but transformation is much quicker now. ✌️ The free charge move is cool, but kinda pointless. It doesn't proc any charge Super Souls like HAAAA! It also is kinda redundant as you need a charge in order to get the ki to transform in the first place, and if you have ultimate charge, it does the same thing AND procs the HAAAA! super soul, thus giving it a speed boost.

I just wanna say I appreciate, shit WE ALL appreciate all these videos brother!

I like the form simply cus it focuses on defense but they shoulda gave us a speed boost or a speed combo input kinda like how they added a new combo to the beast transformation

It is viable it will almost make basic attacks obsolete making your opponent have to resort to supers making them more predictable also with the ability to charge have a extra evasive option and a super attack you get to extra slots for supers mix this wit a auto stamina Regen buff and you have a very real threat

I’m late asf I haven’t played xenoverse 2 for like 3 years i’m on pc so usually used mods when I use to play a lot but when I found out dimps added ultra instinct it made my day it’s way better than the mods 🔥💯

The Lobby is PACKED

They should give it a damage buff then add health drain kinda like in db super

I'm undecided if it's better to toss a super soul on for damage or a ki / stamina support super soul for maximizing the UI features. I'll also have to try out a zoning build on it with moves like Genocide Shell and Energy Minefield.

Still need stat increase I think feels to weak. Cool concept but need the stat boost cause this just feels like data input but a transformation. And not a massive boost like 15% would be acceptable

That why I love the xenoverse community

Ultra Instinct is nice and all but I feel like it should have more of a OOMPF to it. Like hit harder all around. If they added at least potential unleased percentages to UI, i would probably use it over Beast buuuuut unfortunately they didn't. I'll be sticking with Beast even though it's a glass cannon lol

So I was thinking about sitting on this information but the charged ki blast effect of ui is applied to z souls. Meaning, you can equip “don’t go all out” and take two bars of stamina from your spirit pulse. You could also use any of the z souls that poison your charged ki blast or boost its damage

Broly , Rose , ultra ego is wat we missing now , we gon wait another 6 years??

The time it takes to transform is a bit long but the auto counter while your transforming automatically makes it better than Beast for PvP. Not sure how I feel about the counter always being available afterwards though. Another Ki Charge is always appreciated.

Fire video bro ty for the info and breakdown keep up the great work man ❤

12:03 bro you didn't need to call me out like that

CPU Goku UI: I don't run out of stamina Player: Bruh this UI ain't shit...

A damage buff increase would've been nice, hopefully they'll try and fix this problem, but that aside it is a really fun awoken skill to use

I feel this would be good for combo/melee fighters. It LOOKS cool, but as SOON as you turn on UI, theyre comin for you to stamina break you. Thats worse than Beast. Only Kaioken has the worry of losing the transformation. It makes you change how you play definitely. Youll want to make a KILLER BASE fighter. Then UI will just be a luxury. Youll be relying on your supersoul to carry your offensive power. or maybe some power ups or something. I tried Using UI, Turles Supersoul, which gives XL to everything as long as you use a reinforcement. So I used Divinity Unleashed as the reinforcement. Not as strong as the SSB/SSBE builds. Also, no stamina assistance, like the Gogeta SS. I'm not skilled enough for it, but im sure others can dominate with something like that. LOOKS cool tho. You could put it on your PVE build, but you normally want that "Cast everything aside.." Supersoul for damage, along with Beast, SSBE, ect...

From the looks of it, UI is focused on skill, not a power boost. With the new charge (although slow), you can replace your usual charge super skill with something else. The ki blast altered becomes a great knockback or snipe. The counters when timed right, scales with basic attack and certainly offers nearly unavoidable damage to opponent. Mmm... So long story short, UI is focused on skill, not brute strength.

After seeing this video, i have a crazy idea. You can give the transformation its 15% power buff, but the more health you lose the more damage you take up to also 15%. Capitalizing on timing and skill to keep at a good health status.

To be honest im not complaining I understand they dont want the transformation to be to broken but main reason im not complaining is because its 2 transformations in one ui sign into mastered ui
