Mentors | Introduction DB: Xenoverse Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Mentors are NPCs who can give you a special training. If you have met them before or know more about them, it will be easier for you to decide who to choose. You can change the teacher at any time, while keeping progress with the previous one. Mentors are available on a certain level shown in the table below.
What will the training give you? Each mentor will teach you four skills. When you finish the training, you'll get a Z-Soul from each teacher - a piece of equipment that increases the power of attacks learned from a specific NPC. If you fight alongside your teacher and you use his techniques, you have a chance to randomly deal more damage (like critical hits).
What does the training look like? Well, to become a student, you have to pass a test, i.e. just defeat the master, or to be more specific, reduce his health by 50-75%. When you become the student, every level you acquire increases your friendship with the mentor. You don't even have to use his techniques or go into battles with him. High-level mentors (harder to unlock) are more difficult when it comes to earning experience. Current level is available in the "Player Data" menu. When your level is high enough, a question mark will appear over the mentor's head. When you talk to him, you'll be able to take a test. It might be a fight against the master or other characters. Each mentor will want you to bring him a capsule or a Z-Soul. You can buy both of them in the store.
Below you'll see the list of mentors and what is required for them to appear in the city. If you can't find a specific mentor, don't worry. They appear randomly during loading (e.g. when you move between the areas of the city). Sometimes you'll have to take a walk around the city several times to find the next mentor.
