How to share your Custom Battles in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

Once you have made a custom battle you will be able to share it with others by uploading it to the World Library. Once it’s up, other players will be able to download them and access them.

Players who download your battles will be able to give them Likes. This will then pop up in the Online Rankings and after reading a certain height you will be rewarded with a Player Card and other Master Titles.

However, before you can share a Custom Battle that you have made, you will first be required to beat it yourself. This system prevents players from uploading fights that are impossible to beat.
