Plot Training With Whis - Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Whis offers two types of training, Super Level-Up Training and Limit Break Training. At first only the former will be available to the player, which consists of a  series of battles against Whis  at various levels. The unique thing about these battles is the battle conditions tied to each one. These battle conditions modify the fight, such as increasing the player's melee damage or reducing the Ki cost of the player's super attacks, and should inform the player on the best strategy to use if they find themselves struggling to beat one of the training missions. These missions are set at levels 5, 25, 45, 70, 100, 150, and 200 and reward items that grant experience points. The other type of training Whis offers is  Limit Break  Training, which serves as an alternate method to unlock transformations. These battles are much more straightforward, as they do not employ the battle conditions, and are set at levels 20, 35, 60,...
