Rules that win every boss
- Save and enter with full HP and Ki.
- Fight in open ground; scenery is often more dangerous than the projectile.
- Use Solar Flare before stepping into melee range.
- Take one safe punish, disengage, and let Ki recharge.
- Reserve Senzu Beans for late multi-form or back-to-back fights.

If a fight goes wrong, reload the save made immediately beforehand. For Nappa and Vegeta, save between the two battles. Before the Ginyu Force, level in the nearby regions; before Frieza, use the rejuvenation chamber and reach the level-25 cap if needed.
