Often born into royal families or prestigious bloodlines, they are trained from a young age in advanced fighting techniques and tactics. High-class Saiyans possess superior strength, speed, and agility compared to any other class of saiyan, they can easily harness their Ki into more complex techniques than their inferiors and retain their cunning even as Great Apes, making them dangerous opponents in battle.
