Best Dragon Ball Z techniques

Instant Transmission Kamehameha leads the Dragon Ball Z ranking with 1448 ELO points over 461 duels, ahead of Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb.

Just 1 ELO point separates Instant Transmission Kamehameha from the classic Kamehameha at the top, a margin so narrow it reflects the enduring debate over which variation holds more weight with fans. Spirit Bomb trails at 1441 ELO, while Final Flash commands rank 4 with 1406 points. The sharpest divide in the entire ranking appears between ranks 4 and 5, where Final Flash edges 48 points clear of Final Impact at 1358. This gap marks the boundary between the upper tier of iconic attacks and the techniques that follow. At the bottom, Self-Destruct languishes at rank 34 with 962 ELO and a 18% win rate across 1206 duels, while Double Punch anchors the ranking at 888 points. The community clearly favors explosive offensive power, though the survival of lesser techniques near the bottom reveals how voters still engage with the full spectrum of Dragon Ball Z combat moves.

This ranking draws from 28047 duels submitted by 200 players across 35 contenders, last updated on 11 October 2026. The microscopic gap at the summit and the wide spread across the field show how passionately fans weigh each technique's legacy.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
