Fortnite’s new Dragon Ball Super event is excellent.
There are new playable characters like Bulma and Goku, there are cute themed quests, and it’s fun watching Goku hit the Griddy. But one of these additions considerably changes the way the game is played.

(There are a few other ways to get these, and you can read our guide here.)
The Nimbus Cloud allows players to soar through the air at breakneck speed, and
