Not being able to use Evasive skills isn't that big of an issue since the goal is to get to that low point in health. As for male Saiyans, I honestly think this setup won't be as good on them. Sure they would have a MUCH higher basic attack stat, but their Supers would suck too much to warrant using the Z-Soul, which defeats the purpose of this build. As for HP, you need to have it as maxed as possible. The thing about the 25% health is that it isn't a whole number. It's a percentage. The more health you have total, the more health you'll have left when you hit 25%. This is especially important because Beerus gear and the Z-Soul take a whopping 28 points out of your health stat (24 from Beerus and 4 from Z-Soul; decreases are slightly higher in percentage than increases and usually round up to an extra arrow). Coupled with the fact that female Saiyans have the worst HP stat in the gain means that you need all the Health you can get. Well on my male saiyan i have invested 75 points into health, 100 into basic attacks and supers and the rest into ki (at least if I recall correctly); I don't have yet beerus clothes so I'll need to find something similar regarding stats. I really hate how they made MALE saiyans suck at supers and ultimates, meh...anyway I'll try this setup just for the sake of it You don't need to invest into ki because when the Z-Soul activates all your skills will be free and Unlock Potential is incredibly easy to maintain at this point.

Actually, this balances the build a little and it really isn't that big of a deal. I'm going to do this for my female Saiyan and this is going to give her some sick power. To elaborate: The Z-Soul activates when you have like 25% health left. This is the same time the Saiyan racial bonus kicks in so you also gain a 25% increase in attack power. Riot Javelin's (Bardock's skill) damage boost also activates at this time giving you a powerful Super to work with (it does more damage than Special Beam Cannon at this point). At this point Unlock Potential becomes usable giving you a nice transformation to work with. What's so awesome about this is that Unlock Potential works differently with Basic Attacks: the larger your stat, the bigger boost you'll get. Now try stacking that with a maxed out Basic Attack stat and the racial bonus. We're talking serious power here. Best part is that the Z-Soul is still in effect so your ki skills are still free since Unlock Potential doesn't have a free skill buff like SSJ forms do. You might as well call it Super Saiyan 3 at this point because of the massive power you're getting out of all of this. XD Since Evasive skills are no longer free at this point, I'll have to invest into Stamina a little to help defensively. Thankfully Super Drain wasn't nerfed so it still restores 3 bars for free, and Absolute Zero is perfect for setting you up for free Stamina or a combo. XD This, right here, is what I would definitely consider a true Glass Cannon. She can't take much punishment yes, but if you give her the chance she WILL wreck you. Well this is seriously sick, nice combination! The only thing that bothers me is the inability to use evasive skills too until you are with 25% or less health. I hope this setup works well for male saiyans too (the part about riot javelin at least). I'm thinking if this means "the less points to HP = the better" and how viable is with eternal rivals and other similar quests.

So yeah I'm sure a lot (if not everyone) here has a build or two that they use on their CaCs in Xenoverse. Whether its PvE, PvP, or both, you made something for your CaC to call your own. So how about everyone here share your builds from your CaC! Doesn't matter what platform, race, gender, etc. Here's my build.
Race: Saiyan
Gender: Female
Height: Short
Weight: Slim
Point Distribution: HP: 62 Ki: 26 Stamina: 27 Basic Attack: 85 Strikes: 0 Ki Blast Supers: 100
Gear: Clothing: Full Vegetto set (+5 Ki and Ki Blast Supers, -5 Basic Attack (normal ki blasts are +5) and Strikes) Z-Soul: Guess We Should Fuse Into Vegetto...
Skills: Supers: Burst Kamehameha Evil Explosion Phantom Fist Prepare To Be Punished
Ultimates: Chain Destructo-Disk Barrage Unlock Potential
Evasive: Mach Dash
Description: With Unlock Potential being a great substitute for Super Vegeta due to its mechanics, I decided to run the "Guess We Should Fuse Into Vegetto..." set. As such, this build has tremendous power when buffs and/or Unlock Potential is active. Prepare To Be Punished is used because it boosts all offensive stats by a whopping 25%, and since I generally do 1 vs 1 matches the lock on debuff isn't an issue. However, the buff doesn't last very long so I added Mach Dash to combo with it. Not only does it reset the time limit to 30 seconds, but using two buffs triggers the Z-Soul twice. Mach Dash is also a great Evasive move because it allows you to get out of nearly any move and put some distance between you and the opponent in the process.
Attack wise I invested in Basic Attack as well as use Burst Kamehameha and Evil Explosion. Despite my gear, weight, and race having a negative impact on Basic Attacks, Prepare to be Punished as well as the Z-Soul and Unlock Potential greatly make up for it granting me a second method of attack. Burst Kamehameha is an amazing skill due to its speed and damage. It is very easy to combo into this skill and rack up some major damage. The second blast is also very helpful, but if needed I will forgo it to reserve ki. Evil Explosion is what I would consider one of the key skills to this build. It has a lot of power and a great hitbox despite being a short ranged attack. The kicker, however, is that it's capable of causing my opponents to get Guard Break if they trying to block it. If I had Unlock Potential, two buffs for the Z-Soul (which adds up to a triple boost), and all the Ki Blast Super power I have Evil Explosion at full charge will cause an opponent to Guard Break even if they have 8 full bars of Stamina. This may be difficult to pull off at first, but this is also the reason why I chose female Saiyan as the race/gender. The key is their throws. Female Saiyans will always send their opponent straight down with their throw. If the distance is right, I can take the time to either use a buff or charge Evil Explosion for more damage. Evil Explosion also has the benefit of hitting only once, which makes using an Evasive skill not an option. This is especially true if they're recovering from the throw as they wouldn't have time to use it meaning they would either take massive damage or try to block, which puts them in Guard Break.
Ultimate wise I chose Chain Destructo-Disk Barrage because of its tracking ability. When my opponent is in Guard Break, they'll be unable to dodge this attack at all because its homing is so good. The Ultimate also does great damage, especially if my buffs and Z-Soul are still active. I'm not sure if Change The Future will work on this skill so that's something I need to watch out for. Phantom Fist is also a great defensive move because of its distance and quick execution. This is especially helpful when my opponent Vanishes since using this skill will allow me to get behind them for no Stamina or Ki. I can also combo Burst Kamehameha with this skill to get off a powerful counterattack.
Clothing wise I went with the full Vegetto set because it allows me to save a ton of points in the Ki stat. With 26 points invested and Vegetto gear giving me +20 (the Z-soul decreases my Ki stat by one point, which rounds up to two due to their percentage) I have 6 bars of ki for a low amount of investment. Vegetto's gear also gives a +5 in normal ki blasts unlike GT Goku and 4-Star Dragonball meaning that I have another ranged attack to work with.

lol Yeah. What's sad is that the debuff still works on Evasive skills so you're basically getting only half the benefit. Of course, with the cap as it is this is an easy workaround.

Does anyone know if #18's "I can't get serious here" got nerfed or something? I noticed that its description changed to saying it works on Ki only, but I wasn't sure if it was actually true or not. Edit: Yep. It got nerfed. It no longer works on Evasive skills. Was going to reply but you found the solution by yourself XD. lol Yeah.

Does anyone know if it's possible to alter the price of Z-Souls in shops? Kinda silly to have OP Z-Souls that cost 100 zeni. XD

Nexus has an arguably worse community. I never follow that community and from your post it's probably a good thing I don't.

Oh yeah Mio, I noticed a while back your Z-Souls don't work with transformations. Didn't know if you already knew that or not.
