The characters within the Ki-Blast archetype master using low energy for their energy blast-related attacks. A great example is Goku’s Kamehameha, Vegeta’s rapid Ki-Blast attacks, etc.
Strengths

➕Can easily overwhelm players

As the name suggests, Giants are just big in size characters whose physical attacks deal massive damage while resisting many physical and Rush Attacks.
Strengths

➕Resistance to physical and Rush attacks
Weaknesses

Android
The Android character types are focused more on continuous Strikes and Rush combos, absorbing Ki Blasts and then using their Ki-related attacks.
As you may already know, the Androids cannot charge their Ki-gauge like other characters in the game until their energy meter is full.
Some, like Android 13, 16, 17, and 18, rely on the automatic energy charge, whereas characters like Android 19 and Dr. Gero get their energy meter up through Strikes (melee) or by absorbing incoming Ki-Blasts and Ki Wave Blasts.
