How to Transform Characters in DB Sparking Zero
Let’s start with transformations. To transform, press Up on the D-Pad to open the Transformation Panel. Then, depending on the controller you're using, select the desired transformation by pressing Square/X, Triangle/Y, Cross/A, or Circle/B during the fight while using Skill Counts. Keep in mind that the transformation boosts the character's stats.
We recommend playing Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO with a controller, but you can also play the game using a keyboard. To show or hide the Transformation Panel, press Z on the keyboard. Then, depending on the transformation you want to choose, press the left mouse button, right mouse button, Q, or F to transform.

To switch characters, the change icon must be lightened. The icon looks like a yellow uno reverse card, and you’ll find it in the upper left corner of the screen (screenshot below). When it shines, press Left on the D-Pad to open the Switch Panel. From there, select the character you want to switch to by pressing Square/X, Triangle/Y, Cross/A, or Circle/B. This mechanic can unlock different gameplay strategies, so be sure to execute the switch smoothly to maintain the flow of your attacks.
