How To Get Z Rank In Xenoverse 2 Advancement Test

Ever felt like you were just...flailing about in the Xenoverse 2 Advancement Tests? I know I have. Getting that coveted Z Rank felt like trying to catch a greased piglet in a phone booth. But fear not, fellow Time Patrollers, because I'm here to share my somewhat embarrassing, but ultimately successful, journey to Z-Rank glory!

The Hilarious Struggle is Real

My first few attempts were...well, let's just say Frieza would have been less humiliated. I was getting hit more often than a pinata at a toddler's birthday party. I thought, "Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a top-tier Time Patroller."

But then I remembered what my grandpa always used to say (before he got erased from the timeline, ironically): "If at first you don't succeed, spam a Super Saiyan transformation and hope for the best!" Alright, he probably didn't say that exactly, but the spirit is the same.

The Zen of Ki Blasts (and Button Mashing)

Turns out, a little strategic button mashing can go a long way. I started focusing on chaining combos. It felt less like a graceful dance of combat and more like a caffeinated squirrel attacking a vending machine, but hey, it worked!

I also discovered the beauty of the humble Ki Blast. I mean, who knew spamming those little energy balls could be so effective? It’s like throwing a tantrum in the form of focused energy. Surprisingly cathartic!

Embrace Your Inner Cheese

Let's be honest, every game has its "cheese" strategies. And Xenoverse 2 is no exception. I’m not proud to admit I relied a little too heavily on certain evasive maneuvers and overpowered Super Souls.

But hey, a win's a win, right? Just think of it as using your resources wisely...or exploiting the game mechanics for personal gain. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

The Importance of a Good Mentor (and Maybe a Therapist)

Having a good mentor is crucial. I found that training with Goku (even though he sometimes zones out mid-lesson to think about fighting) helped me refine my techniques. Plus, hearing his encouraging words was a nice change from Vegeta's constant screaming about Saiyan pride.

Speaking of Vegeta, dealing with his ego can be a whole other challenge. Seriously, I almost failed one test because he kept trying to outshine me. Maybe I need a therapist for all this digital drama.

Surprising Friendships and Unexpected Allies

Along the way, I even made some unexpected friends. We teamed up to tackle some of the tougher tests. Misery loves company, after all, and we were all pretty miserable trying to master the art of Time Patrolling.

There was this one player who always used the Piccolo outfit, and he became my unexpected ally. Turns out, green skin and stoic silence make for a surprisingly effective fighting partner. We still exchange virtual fist bumps to this day.

The Sweet Taste of Victory (and Z Rank)

Finally, after countless attempts, near-controller-breaking moments, and a suspicious amount of caffeine, I did it. I saw that glorious Z Rank pop up on the screen. It was like a digital choir of angels singing my praises.

The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. I had proven myself worthy to stand alongside the legends of Dragon Ball. Or, at least, worthy enough to get a cool virtual badge. Either way, I was happy.

So, if you're struggling to get that elusive Z Rank, remember my story. Embrace the chaos, find your inner cheese, and don't be afraid to spam a few Ki Blasts. You might just surprise yourself. And who knows, maybe you'll even make a friend or two along the way. Just try not to let Vegeta get in your head. Good luck, Time Patrollers!
