How To Make Orange Piccolo In Xenoverse 2

Alright, so you're chilling in Conton City, right? Maybe you just finished a killer PQ and you're feeling that post-battle buzz. Or maybe you're just bored, staring at your character customization screen, wondering, "What else can I possibly do with this guy?" Well, my friend, I've got a little something for you. We're gonna talk about making... drumroll please... Orange Piccolo in Xenoverse 2! Yeah, you heard me. That bad boy from the latest Dragon Ball Super movie. Pretty cool, huh?

Now, before we dive in, let's be real. We're not actually making the movie character appear out of thin air. This is Xenoverse 2, the ultimate sandbox for your Saiyan (or Frieza Clan, or whatever!) fantasies. We're talking about recreating that look, that vibe, that power on your own custom character. So, grab your imaginary coffee, settle in, and let's get this done.

First things first, you need to have the right stuff. And by "stuff," I mean the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero DLC Pack 1. Yeah, I know, another DLC. Bandai Namco, they know how to keep us hooked, don't they? But honestly, if you're gonna go for the Orange Piccolo look, this is pretty much essential. It’s got the key skills and, more importantly, the outfit pieces we need. So, make sure you’ve got that installed. No shortcuts here, folks!

The Aesthetic: It’s All About That Orange

Okay, so the most obvious thing about Orange Piccolo is... well, he's ORANGE. Shocking, I know! But it's not just any orange. It's a vibrant, almost electric orange. Think of a really ripe mango, but like, supercharged with ki. So, when you're creating your character, or if you're looking to give your existing one a makeover, you're gonna want to head over to the customization screen.

Go to your Appearance and then Color. This is where the magic, or rather, the pigment, happens. For the skin tone, you’ll want to go with a nice, bright, almost neon orange. Don't be shy with it! If it looks a little too bright at first, that’s probably the right track. It needs to scream "I'm about to unleash hell!" which is, you know, Piccolo's default setting.

Now, Piccolo also has those cool black markings. They’re not super bold, but they’re definitely there. These are usually found under the Markings section. You'll want to pick a dark, inky black. Again, don't be subtle with it if you're going for the full effect. Think of them as tattoos that signify pure, unadulterated power. You might need to play around with the opacity a bit to get it just right, but a good starting point is a solid black.

The Head and Face: Those Iconic Features

Piccolo’s head is pretty distinctive, right? That bald, slightly conical shape. So, for the Head Type, you're looking for something that's got that characteristic dome. You might have to scroll through a few options, but there are definitely some that nail that vibe. It’s all about that smooth, powerful silhouette.

The eyes are crucial, of course. Piccolo’s eyes are usually depicted as a piercing red or sometimes a deep crimson. So, in the Eyes section, pick a color that’s as intense as his glare. We’re talking about eyes that can bore holes through the fabric of reality. Think about the color of a dragon’s eye, or maybe just a really, really angry stop sign.

And what about that smug, often unimpressed expression? That’s all in the Brow and Mouth settings. For the brows, you want something that gives him that perpetually unimpressed look, like he’s seen it all and is utterly bored. Slightly angled, not too angry. And the mouth? A neutral, perhaps slightly downturned expression is usually best. He’s not one for big grins, unless he’s about to deliver a particularly devastating blow.

The nose is usually pretty prominent on Piccolo, but not in a distracting way. It’s more about a strong, defined bridge. You’ll find this under Nose. Just pick something that adds a bit of structure to the face without making it look like Pinocchio decided to join the Namekian race. Subtlety is key, even when you’re going for over-the-top power.

The Outfit: The Saiyan Hero Threads

Now, this is where the DLC really shines. To get that authentic Orange Piccolo look, you’re going to need some specific outfit pieces. Luckily, the Super Hero DLC Pack 1 hooks us up with pretty much everything we need. If you don't have it, well, it’s time to open up that wallet, my friend. Because trust me, the fashion game in Xenoverse 2 is serious business.

First up, the Upper Body. You're looking for that classic, sleeveless warrior look. The Saiyan Hero Battle Suit (Upper Body) is your best bet. It's got the right cut, the right feel. It's simple, it's effective, and it screams "I'm here to kick butt."

For the Lower Body, you want something that complements the upper half. The Saiyan Hero Battle Suit (Lower Body) is, again, the go-to choice. It’s got that loose-fitting, martial arts pants vibe. Think comfortable, but also ready for action. No tight leather pants for our man Piccolo, thank you very much.

Now, for the accessories that really tie it all together. The Gloves and Boots are super important. You want something that matches the overall aesthetic. The Saiyan Hero Battle Suit (Gloves) and Saiyan Hero Battle Suit (Boots) are pretty much perfect. They’re not flashy, they’re functional, and they complete the iconic silhouette. It’s all about that unified look, you know? Like a perfectly coordinated ninja squad, but with more yelling and energy blasts.

Oh, and don't forget the Accessory slot! This is where you can add some extra flair. While Piccolo doesn't typically wear a lot of extra accessories in his orange form, you might want to consider something that enhances the look. Sometimes a simple red aura can really make the orange pop. Experiment with what you have! It's your character, after all. Make it your own!

The Skills: Unleash the Namekian Fury

Looking the part is one thing, but playing the part is another! And for Orange Piccolo, that means having some serious Namekian power at your disposal. This is where we get into the Skills and Awoken Skills. You want to pick moves that feel like they belong to a seasoned warrior who’s just unlocked his ultimate form.

For Awoken Skills, we're going to want to focus on transformations that amp up his power and change his appearance. The Power Rush Awoken Skill is a great starting point. It's not exactly Orange Piccolo's transformation, but it gives you that boost in power and changes your aura to a more fiery, intense look. It's a good substitute if you're not going for a perfect replica and just want the vibe.

However, if you really want to get that Orange Piccolo feel, and you've got the Super Hero DLC, you're looking for the Potential Unleashed Awoken Skill. This one is chef's kiss. It transforms your character into a super-powered state, complete with a massive power boost and a striking aura that really complements that orange skin. It feels right for a character channeling that kind of energy.

When it comes to Super Skills, we want to think about moves that are both visually impressive and strategically useful. Piccolo is known for his ki blasts and his devastating physical attacks. So, let's consider some options.

For ki blasts, you can't go wrong with a good old Special Beam Cannon. It's a classic, it's iconic, and it feels super powerful. Plus, the charging animation is pretty epic. Another good option is the Light Grenade. It's a quick, powerful burst of energy that can catch opponents off guard. Think of it as a more concentrated version of his energy projection.

For physical attacks, you might want to consider something like the Evil Strike. It's a flurry of powerful punches and kicks that can really put the hurt on your opponent. And for a finishing move, something like the Super Electric Strike could be perfect. It's a devastating, multi-hit attack that feels like it could level a city. Which, let's be honest, is sometimes the goal in Xenoverse 2.

And don't forget the Ultimate Skills! These are your big, flashy finishers. For Orange Piccolo, you're going to want something that feels like the culmination of all that raw power. The Hellzone Grenade is a fantastic choice. It's a powerful, area-of-effect attack that can absolutely decimate opponents. It's the kind of move that makes you feel like a true master of your ki.

Another great option for an Ultimate Skill is the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. While it's a bit more mischievous, the idea of sending out multiple homing projectiles that explode on impact feels very much in line with Piccolo's versatile fighting style. Plus, the animation is just pure fun.

The Playstyle: Calm, Collected, and Devastating

Now that you’ve got the look and the skills, how do you play like Orange Piccolo? Well, think about the character himself. He's not usually the one rushing headfirst into battle, screaming like a madman. He's strategic, he's observant, and when he does attack, it's with precision and overwhelming force.

So, in your fights, try to maintain a bit of distance at first. Use your ki blasts to chip away at your opponent's health. Use skills like Light Grenade to interrupt their combos or punish them when they leave an opening. Don't just spam attacks mindlessly. Think about your next move. Where is your opponent going to be? How can you counter their attacks?

When you’re ready to unleash your Awoken Skill, that's when you can get a bit more aggressive. With the power boost, you can start closing the distance and laying into them with your physical combos. Remember, Orange Piccolo is powerful, but he's also wise. He knows when to strike and when to hold back.

Don't forget to utilize your Super Skills strategically. Special Beam Cannon is great for long-range engagements, but it requires a bit of charge time. Try to land it when your opponent is recovering from an attack or when they're distracted. Hellzone Grenade is your panic button and your finisher. Use it when you're surrounded or when you know you can land a decisive blow. It’s all about timing and understanding your abilities.

And finally, have fun with it! Xenoverse 2 is all about living out your Dragon Ball dreams. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the series, creating and playing as your own version of a beloved character is incredibly rewarding. So go forth, embrace the orange, and show those PQ bosses who's boss!

So there you have it! Your step-by-step guide to becoming the awesome Orange Piccolo in Xenoverse 2. It takes a little effort, maybe a quick trip to the DLC store, but trust me, the result is worth it. You’ll be looking and feeling like the ultimate Namekian warrior in no time. Now go on, get out there and unleash that incredible power!
