How do I know which gifts to give to a Soul Emblem in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot?
So, who gets what gift in DBZ Kakarot? Well, if you look at the item description in the Gift List, you’ll see what stats each gift raises. The key thing to look at is what type of proficiency the gift boosts. There are seven kinds of proficiencies that correspond to the seven Community Boards:
- Z Proficiency
- Cooking Proficiency
- Training Proficiency
- Development Proficiency
- God Proficiency
- Adult Proficiency
- Adventure Proficiency
Some items will boost multiple different types of proficiencies, but most only raise the stats of one. All you have to keep in mind is that you need to give Soul Emblems gifts that grow the type of proficiency of the board they’re on. So, if you want to give Goku a gift, provide him with one that builds Z Proficiency. Alternatively, if you’re going to give Chi Chi a gift, give her one that raises Cooking Proficiency.
By giving gifts and raising your Soul Emblem proficiency, you’ll gain ranks on your Community Boards. When a Community Board ranks up, you’ll unlock a new Community Skill, which gives you a permanent buff. So, don’t hold onto those gifts, hand them out like crazy. The more gifts you give, the stronger you’ll become!
