Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Soul Switch Tier List

This Soul Switch tier list only ranks Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 souls that official combat copy has named: Vegeta, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Tien, and Krillin. When Goku, Gamma 1, or Broly get a Skill Tree card, they get a row. Until then, this is the honest five. Soul Switch replaces your Super and Ultimate kit and cannot sit next to Awoken. Mechanic bible: Soul Switch guide. Confirm table: roster. Upcoming for 2027 — zero match data.

Pre-launch ranking

Rank	Soul	Role to learn
S	Vegeta	Pressure, pride, the motion pack already shown versus Goku-motion
S	Piccolo	Stretch identity plus a named Fighting Style; easiest “I became my mentor” story
A	Future Trunks	Sword-and-time-patrol fantasy in a game that left Time Patrol; strong trailer presence
A	Tien	Multi-form oddity; good if you like utility supers historically
B	Krillin	Support-coded; likely the independent Assist star more than a Switch nuke

Vegeta — S

Vegeta is the soul Dimps already rendered as a Fighting Style and a Switch example. Gameplay Closer Look uses Vegeta-motion on a Saiyan preset. If you press Switch, you want the room to understand what happened. Galick Gun is a named Super family in the combat guide. S-tier is “the kit will be complete on day one because marketing needs it.”

Pair with an independent Assist so you have a lifeline while you greed the prince’s buttons. Race: any. Saiyan + Vegeta Switch is redundant visually and drops SS3 — still a popular fashion crime.

Piccolo — S

Piccolo is the other name that appears in Switch, Assist-adjacent copy, and Fighting Style examples. That triple mention is ranking gold. If you want to feel the mentor system working, Bond Piccolo first in West City. Namekian + Piccolo Switch is on-theme; Android + Piccolo Switch is the “AGE 1000 is weird” pick.

Future Trunks — A

Trunks is listed as a Soul Switch example and is emotionally the Xenoverse mascot. A-tier because the sequel left his Time Patrol office, so his story function is unclear even if his kit will slap. Use him if you want the sword silhouette in a city that is not Conton. Do not expect a “fix history” campaign beat just because you housed him.

Tien — A

Tien is named, which already puts him above 120 unpublished souls. Historical Xenoverse Tien kits were awkward in a good way (dodon, tri-beam, multi-form). A-tier is “will have a complete unique Super page.” Not S because 2026 trailers did not linger on him.

Krillin — B as a Switch, S as an Assist candidate

Krillin is named for Switch, but the Assist families (lifeline versus sync nuke) sound more like his job. If you only have one Bond tree, Krillin as independent Assist may beat Krillin as Switch. B on this page because this page is Switch-only. Put him on your How to Play squad plan as the button you press when you are already in Ki Break.

How to rank souls Dimps has not named

You don’t. Ginyu and Recoome are Fighting Style examples, not Switch confirms. Whis and Hit same. Goku-motion is a style confirm. Broly is boss footage. Ranking them S on a Switch list would fail the Roster Hub honesty rule.

If your favorite is missing, farm MistyPix anyway — the Skill Tree is how unpublished souls will appear. Creation: character creation.

Assist pairing notes (not a second tier list)

• Independent Assist + greedy Switch (Vegeta) is the beginner-safe pair.
• Sync Assist + Ki Drain Super is the Combat nerd pair.
• Two Switch charges do not exist; two Assist charges do. People mixing those numbers will grief themselves.

Re-rank triggers

• A soul duration number in patch notes
• A Super list per soul
• Proof that Switch keeps or discards Fighting Style motions
• Public demo frame feels

Until then, Vegeta and Piccolo are the two souls you can practice in your head without lying. Everyone else is a Bond-target wishlist. Keep trailers bookmarked for the next named kit.
