Get ready, Saiyans! The local meta is about to undergo a massive shift. Bandai has officially unveiled Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Fusion World Booster Pack 11 - Brightness of Hope [FB11], dropping on October 16, 2026.
Whether you’re a competitive local regular or a collector hunting rare alt-arts, set FB11 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting additions to Fusion World yet. Here is everything you need to know about what's inside, the chase cards on our radar, and how the competitive environment is going to look once these booster boxes hit our shelves.
What’s Inside FB11?
FB11 Brightness of Hope brings a massive 123 unique card types to the table, expanding deck-building strategies for every play style.
The headline feature of the set is the 5 new Leader Cards, featuring major shifts in mechanical play:
-
Goku Black & Zamasu: Focused heavily on building up Ki in your Battle Area to swarm the board with low-cost threat engines.
-
Bardock’s Crew: A high-risk, high-reward strategy that utilizes Ki to trigger KO effects straight out of the Drop Area.
-
Shallot & Giblet (Dragon Ball Legends): A hybrid strategy that allows you to untap 2 energy mid-turn to slam down high-cost [Evolve] threats.
-
Future Trunks / Future Gohan / Future Trunks: A cycling machine that bounces lower-cost Future traits back to hand while continually pumping [Ki].
-
Son Goku: Built specifically around early awakening and redirecting opponent attacks to keep your key [Evolve] units safe.
Beyond the base set, FB11 is packed with collector value. It introduces Visual Alt-Arts featuring iconic moments from the franchise, alternate-art versions of staple Super Combos, and a special crossover batch of artwork straight from Dragon Ball Legends.
Top Chase Cards to Target
If you’re opening packs looking for high-end trade binder material or showpiece singles, keep an eye out for these hits:
-
Visual Alt-Art Secret Rares (SCRs): Set FB11 continues Fusion World's trend of gorgeous full-art Secret Rares depicting pivotal anime frames. The dynamic finishes on this set’s Secret Rares will make them the immediate top hits out of any booster box.
-
Dragon Ball Legends Crossover Alt-Arts: The yellow Beerus collaboration card—and the Shallot/Giblet leader variations—are destined to be huge collector magnets for fans of both the card game and the mobile title.
-
Alt-Art Super Combos: Super Combos are mandatory 4-ofs in nearly every functioning deck. Pulling shiny, alternate-art staples means instant utility and value for players wanting to max out their deck’s rarity.
Meta Predictions: How FB11 Shifts the Game
The introduction of [Ki] manipulation alongside targeted [Evolve] protection is going to shake up current deck tiering.

1. Board-Swarm Aggro Returns
The Goku Black / Zamasu engine is going to be a real headache for low-interaction control decks. By storing [Ki] on the board, this deck can play wide very quickly without exhausting hand size. Expect players to tech heavily into wide-board clear options to keep up with the sheer density of threats.
2. High-Energy "Big Mana" Turns
The Shallot Leader ability allowing you to untap 2 energy upon awakening creates a massive tempo jump. Being able to drop an early top-end [Evolve] card while still leaving energy open for defensive plays or secondary threats is going to make mid-game turns feel oppressive.
3. Reactive Defense Gets Stronger
With the new Son Goku leader allowing players to redirect an opponent's attack target to an [Evolve] Battle Card once per turn, defensive lines become much harder to break. It forces opponents to make suboptimal attacks or waste removal spells before swinging into your Leader!
