Dragon Ball Fusion World Tier List: September 2026 Meta

The Dragon Ball Fusion World tier list for September 2026 needs a wider evidence window than the June FB10 launch read. This update uses regional standings published for August 8, August 30, September 6, September 12, and September 13, plus Bandai's official product and card text. The labels are editorial: they describe repeated results in this sample, not guaranteed win rates.

TL;DR: Son Goku, Son Gohan: SH, and Gogeta: GT have the clearest recent results in this snapshot. SSJ3 and Gogeta: BR also have strong late-August or September finishes. FB10 Vegito remains proven after winning Rotterdam and placing second and eighth in Melbourne, but the newer field is broader than the old June ranking.

Dragon Ball Fusion World tier list: September 2026 quick answer

The short answer is that the strongest current result mix belongs to Son Goku, Son Gohan: SH, and Gogeta: GT. This is a small, dated sample of regional Top 8 results, not a universal power ranking. FB10 Vegito stays in the next group because it has a verified win and recent Melbourne finishes, while several older and FB10 leaders need more comparable results before getting a firm tier label.

The table separates evidence from certainty. A deck can be a good choice for a local event and still sit on the watchlist here if the published sample does not identify enough comparable finishes. The format labels also vary by report: Auckland, Toronto, and Melbourne identify ST01, while the Bologna page labels its event ST10. I keep those records dated instead of treating them as one clean win-rate dataset.

Key takeaways

• Son Goku won the September 13 Melbourne event and occupied several Top 8 places in Bologna, although the reports do not expose one card number for every Son Goku entry.
• Son Gohan: SH won Toronto on September 6 and also reached the Melbourne Top 8. Those results refer to the SH leader, not FB10-049 Gohan/Piccolo.
• Gogeta: GT and Gogeta: BR both have repeated high finishes, but they are separate leaders and should not be merged into one deck result.
• FB10 Vegito won Rotterdam on August 8 and reached second and eighth in Melbourne on September 13. That is strong evidence for the deck, not proof that it owns the whole format.
• The five FB10 leaders still have distinct plans built around Ki, Evolve, Master's Teachings, Yellow removal, and Android setup.
• September results are a better guide to current testing than an undated June consensus. Recheck the event's legal card pool before buying or registering a list.

S-tier: leaders with the clearest September evidence

Son Goku

The September reports give the plain Son Goku entry the best recent result volume in this review. It won the 171-player Bologna event on September 12, placed third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and occupied the top spot in Melbourne on September 13. The Melbourne page identifies that event as ST01 and lists 128 players. The Bologna page uses the label ST10, so I am treating the events as separate dated evidence rather than a single format sample.

There is an important identification limit here. The reports use the leader name shown in each decklist, but they do not give the same card number in the result summary. I am therefore not assigning every Son Goku finish to FB10-001, FS11, or another print. That caution matters because the official FB10 product page also lists a separate FB10-001 Son Goku with a Ki-based design.

Son Gohan: SH

Son Gohan: SH won the 401 Games Toronto Regional on September 6. The published Top 8 also included a second Son Gohan: SH in sixth place. Melbourne then listed the same leader in third and sixth. Those are direct results for the SH leader, not for the Cross Force FB10-049 Son Gohan: Youth/Piccolo and Son Gohan: Adolescence/Piccolo leader.

That distinction fixes one of the most tempting errors in this matchup. A Gohan name in a result is not enough to identify the deck. Toronto's list calls the leader Son Gohan: SH, while the FB10 product page calls FB10-049 Son Gohan: Youth/Piccolo on the front and Son Gohan: Adolescence/Piccolo after Awakening. The result supports the SH placement only.

Gogeta: GT

Gogeta: GT has a smaller but convincing spread in the reports reviewed. It was second in Toronto, fourth in Melbourne, and fifth in Bologna. None of those records alone establishes a win rate, yet the leader appears across three different event reports and card-pool windows. That repeat presence is enough for the top tier in this editorial snapshot.

The deck should not be folded into Gogeta: BR. They are different leaders. Gogeta: BR was the Rotterdam finalist, appeared three times in the Auckland Top 8, and finished second in Bologna. Keeping the names separate makes the table more useful when you compare lists or shop for cards.

A-tier: proven decks with narrower evidence

SSJ3

SSJ3 won the Auckland Regional on August 30, and three SSJ3 lists made that event's Top 8. Toronto added two more SSJ3 placements, fourth and seventh. That is a strong regional record, although it is not enough to turn the label into a universal ranking. The results show that the deck can convert in the post-FB10 field; they do not explain every matchup or list choice.

Gogeta: BR

Gogeta: BR was second in Rotterdam on August 8, appeared three times in Auckland's Top 8, and finished second in Bologna on September 12. The spread gives it one of the clearest A-tier cases in this sample. It also reinforces why the two Gogeta leaders need separate rows: the GT results support S-tier here, while the BR results support A-tier.

Vegito, Blue: FB10-025

FB10 Vegito has the strongest single FB10 result. It won the Rotterdam Regional on August 8, reached the Auckland Top 8 once, and took second and eighth in Melbourne on September 13. Those results justify keeping the Blue leader in A-tier for the September snapshot.

The evidence still has boundaries. Rotterdam came before the later Story Booster 01 results, and Melbourne included several other successful leaders. Vegito remains a serious tournament choice, but the old claim that it automatically defines the whole format is too broad. Use the FB10 Vegito deck guide for sequencing, then check the event window before registering the list.

Vegito, Blue: FB05-025

Toronto's Top 8 included FB05 Vegito in third and fifth. The official ST01 product page identifies FB05-025 as a reprinted leader, which is why this result belongs in the broader post-ST01 picture but not in the FB10 Vegito row. One event is a narrower evidence base than Vegito FB10's Rotterdam plus Melbourne record, so this stays in A-tier rather than S-tier.

B-tier and watchlist: where the data is thin

Son Goku: UI

Son Goku: UI reached eighth in Toronto. That is a real Top 8 finish, but it is one result in the reviewed window, so the deck belongs in B-tier rather than beside leaders with repeat appearances. Keep the card identity attached to the result. A generic Son Goku finish from Bologna or Melbourne is not evidence for the UI leader.

Majin Vegeta

Majin Vegeta appeared once in the Auckland Top 8, where the event report counted one list among three SSJ3, three Gogeta: BR, and one FB10 Vegito. The report does not give that list a placement in the summary. The result earns a place on the competitive board, but not a higher tier from this evidence alone.

SB01 Yellow Majin Buu: Evil and Red Cell

The current DragonBall.gg page still labels Yellow Majin Buu: Evil S-tier and Red Cell A-tier inside its Manga Booster SB01 section. That is a useful set-specific reference, not a September cross-set ranking. The late-August and September event reports reviewed for this update do not list either leader in a Top 8, so I am keeping both as context rather than claiming that the decks are dead or still dominant.

FB10 Gohan/Piccolo, Cell, Boujack, and Son Goku

Bandai confirms that these are four of the five FB10 leaders, and the official page describes their printed mechanics. The current results reviewed here do not give FB10 Gohan/Piccolo, FB10 Cell, FB10 Boujack, or FB10-001 Son Goku a late-August or September Top 8 finish. That is an evidence gap, not a power verdict. FB10 Gohan/Piccolo did appear in the July 19 Pomona Top 32, but one 29th-place result cannot be carried forward as a current tier claim.

The old June table ranked these leaders from A to B based mostly on card text and early testing. Keep that history when comparing Cross Force lists, but do not present it as September tournament data. The FB10 leaders guide gives the five designs a fuller mechanical treatment.

Dragon Ball Fusion World tier list: what the current evidence says

The result window is more useful than a single “consensus” label. Rotterdam shows FB10 Vegito converting before Story Booster 01. Auckland, Toronto, Melbourne, and Bologna show a broader field afterward, with different leaders winning or sharing the Top 8. None of these reports publishes every game, matchup, or complete field, so the table below records what each event proves and what it cannot prove.

The reports are snapshots, not a metagame census. They also use slightly different naming detail. For example, the Melbourne list identifies the leader as Vegito, while the tournament context and deck composition support the FB10 reading used in this article. When a page does not expose a card number, I leave the result at the name level instead of guessing the set.

Dragon Ball Fusion World tier list: what remains true about FB10

Bandai's official Cross Force page lists five new leaders, a June 12, 2026 release date, 123 card types, a $4.99 MSRP, and 12 cards plus a digital code per pack. The mechanics explain the launch rankings, but mechanics alone cannot settle a September tier list.

The official text supports neutral descriptions such as “Ki engine” or “Evolve payoff.” It does not support a claim that one leader automatically beats every other deck. For deeper card-by-card explanations, use the FB10 leaders guide. The Evolve mechanic guide covers the general rules separately from FB10-025's specific effect.

Story Booster 01 also matters to the timeline. Bandai's English product page lists an August 21, 2026 release, 85 card types, three new leaders, and two reprinted leaders, including FB05-025 Vegito. That is why this page keeps FB05 and FB10 Vegito in separate rows and treats August and September results as a broader comparison.

How to use this September snapshot

If you are choosing a deck, start with the event you plan to play rather than the letter beside a leader. Confirm the legal card pool, then check whether the source names the exact Leader or only the character. A September result for Son Gohan: SH should not be used as proof for FB10-049, and a Toronto result for FB05 Vegito should not be counted as FB10 Vegito evidence.

For FB10 testing, Vegito has the cleanest tournament case: a Rotterdam win plus two Melbourne Top 8 finishes. Gohan/Piccolo and Cell still have coherent official designs, but the reviewed late-August and September reports do not give either one a comparable top-table finish. That makes them reasonable test choices, not confirmed current S-tier decks. Boujack and FB10-001 Son Goku need the same careful wording.

The same caution applies to the SB01 leaders. DragonBall.gg's September page gives Yellow Majin Buu: Evil an S-tier label and Red Cell an A-tier label within its SB01 section. That is useful historical context, but it is not the same evidence as a current regional Top 8. If your local event allows a different product window, the old set-specific ranking may be more relevant than this page's broader snapshot.

I would revisit these labels after another cluster of dated regional results, a rules or ban-list change, or the next product release. Until then, use the tiers as a shortlist for testing. They are not a promise about your matchup spread, card prices, or final standing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best leader in Dragon Ball Fusion World in September 2026? There is no universal winner, but Son Goku, Son Gohan: SH, and Gogeta: GT have the strongest recent result mix here. Son Goku won Melbourne on September 13, Son Gohan: SH won Toronto on September 6, and Gogeta: GT reached second, fourth, and fifth across the reviewed reports. Those placements are not a win rate.

Is FB10 Vegito still good in September 2026? Yes. FB10 Vegito won the August 8 Rotterdam Regional and reached second and eighth in Melbourne on September 13. That is enough to call it a proven competitive option. It is not enough to call it the automatic best deck, because the same later reports include successful Son Goku, Gohan: SH, Gogeta, and SSJ3 lists.

Are SB01 Majin Buu and Red Cell still viable? They remain viable reference points, but this article does not confirm a current cross-set tier from the reviewed events. DragonBall.gg labels Yellow Majin Buu: Evil S-tier and Red Cell A-tier in its SB01 section. The late-August and September reports checked here do not list either leader in a Top 8.

What are the five FB10 Cross Force leaders? Bandai lists Son Goku FB10-001, Son Goku/Vegeta into Vegito FB10-025, Son Gohan/Piccolo FB10-049, Boujack FB10-073, and Cell FB10-097. They are Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Black respectively. The official product page lists 123 card types and a June 12, 2026 English release.

How often should this tier list be updated? Refresh it after meaningful tournament results, a product release, a rules change, or a ban-list update. This page changed on September 18, 2026 because the evidence window now includes the August 30 Auckland event and September 6, 12, and 13 reports. A letter grade without an event date should not be treated as permanent.

Should I build FB10 or a newer leader? Choose the deck that matches the event you expect to play. FB10 Vegito has a regional win and two Melbourne Top 8 finishes, while recent results also favor Son Goku, Son Gohan: SH, Gogeta, and SSJ3. Confirm legality, exact Leader identity, and the latest standings before buying a complete list.
