Anime Squadron Primal Core: Complete Guide to Get & Use Gometa SSJ4 Evolution
Learn how to get the Anime Squadron Primal Core by completing the Primal Fusion quest. Full rewards, evolution materials for Gometa SSJ4, and best traits.
Getting Started with the Anime Squadron Primal Core
If you're aiming to dominate the top of the leaderboard in Anime Squadron, you need the Anime Squadron Primal Core. This rare material is the key to evolving Goki SSJ4 (Full Power) into the legendary Gometa SSJ4, a Secret-rarity unit that completely redefines the meta. Without this core, you're stuck with a powerful but incomplete character. This guide breaks down exactly how to snag the Primal Core, complete every task of the Primal Fusion quest, and make the most of your new powerhouse.
Many players assume the Primal Core drops from random stages or the gacha, but that’s not the case. It’s a guaranteed reward from a permanent special quest. However, don’t let the word “quest” fool you – the Primal Fusion challenge is one of the toughest grinds in the game. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process so you can claim your Anime Squadron Primal Core and evolve towards victory.
What Is the Primal Fusion Quest?
The Primal Fusion quest is a permanent feature accessible from the lobby. Just tap the Quests button, then navigate to the Special Quest menu. Inside, you’ll see five tasks that range from awakening specific units to clearing hundreds of waves and raids. Each task offers its own small reward, but the grand prize – which includes the Primal Core – is only handed out after you complete all five.
One thing to keep in mind: this quest is not time-limited. You can take as long as you need, and there’s no pressure to rush. However, the difficulty is steep, and you’ll want a solid team and plenty of resources before diving in.
Primal Fusion Quest Tasks and Individual Rewards
Below is a table summarizing each mission and the reward you get for finishing it. Completing all five unlocks the final chest containing 10,000 Gems, 10,000 Gold, 125 Trait Shards, and – yes – one Primal Core.
| Task | Requirement | Individual Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Awaken Goki SSJ4 | Use materials to evolve Goki SSJ4 to its awakened form | 10 Trait Shards |
| Awaken Vegata (SSJ4) | Use materials to evolve Vegata (SSJ4) to its awakened form | 10 Trait Shards |
| Complete 500 Infinite waves | Survive 500 waves in the Infinite game mode (any difficulty) | 15 Reroll Cubes |
| Complete 100 Raid stages | Finish any Raid stage 100 times total | 7,500 Gold |
| Complete GT City Raid Act 4 20 times | Beat GT City Raid Act 4 exactly 20 times | 3 Perfect Cubes |
Important Notes on the Units
Goki SSJ4 and Vegata (SSJ4) are both Mythic-rarity units. According to player reports, they can be obtained from the Basic Banner and the Selection Banner. The drop rates are typical for Mythic – expect to spend a decent amount of tickets or gems. Awakening them requires additional materials (Godstones, Chakra Fragments, etc.), so be sure to check the Awakening NPC before you start grinding those 500 waves.
How to Obtain the Primal Core – Step by Step
- Summon Goki SSJ4 and Vegata (SSJ4) – Save your premium currency for the Selection Banner if you don’t already have these units.
- Awaken both units – Visit the Awakening NPC in the Upgrade zone. You’ll need specific materials. For Goki SSJ4 and Vegata SSJ4, the awakening cost is manageable but not trivial.
- Grind 500 Infinite waves – This is the most time-consuming part. Use your strongest team, and focus on wave-clearing units. According to community experience, a meta team can clear roughly 20–30 waves per run, so expect at least 15–20 runs.
- Complete 100 Raid stages – Any raid works, but you’ll likely be farming GT City Raid anyway for task #5. Mix in other raids if you get bored.
- Beat GT City Raid Act 4 twenty times – You must unlock this act first. Reach Level 15 to unlock the raid mode, then complete Acts 1–3. Act 4 is the final level and significantly harder. Bring awakened units and good traits.
After finishing all five tasks, return to the Special Quest menu and claim your grand reward. The Primal Core will be added to your inventory automatically.
Using the Primal Core to Evolve Goki SSJ4 (Full Power)
Once you have the Anime Squadron Primal Core, head to the Awakening NPC again. This time, select Goki (SSJ4 Full Power). You’ll need to supply a list of evolution materials. Here’s the complete shopping list:
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eclipse Godstone | 10 |
| King’s Haki Residue | 10 |
| Chakra Fragment | 10 |
| Zeni | 200 |
| Primal Core | 1 |
| Gold | 5,000 |
Make sure you have all the materials before confirming. If you’re short on Eclipse Godstones or King’s Haki Residue, you can farm them from specific raid bosses and weekly events. The in-game shop occasionally offers bundle packs, but grinding is generally more reliable for free-to-play players.
Once you evolve Goki (SSJ4 Full Power), he transforms into Gometa (SSJ4) – a Secret-rarity unit that immediately becomes one of the strongest characters in the current meta.
Gometa SSJ4: Stats, Traits, and Build Tips
Gometa SSJ4 is a massive upgrade. According to early player tests, his base damage and range are significantly higher than any Mythic unit. He also gains a powerful passive that boosts allies’ attack speed. To really unlock his full potential, you’ll want to roll for a top-tier trait.
Here’s a quick comparison of the best traits for Gometa SSJ4:
| Trait | Effect | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Superior | Increases all stats by a huge percentage (SSS grade) | Best |
| Clone | Spawns a copy that deals full damage | Great |
| Master | Boosts attack and critical rate | Good |
| Swift | Increases attack speed but lower overall stats | Situational |
Use Reroll Cubes (earned from the Primal Fusion quest) or Perfect Cubes (from the GT City Raid task) to reroll until you get at least Clone. For the absolute min-max, aim for Superior. According to community reports, Superior can push Gometa’s damage output by over 40% compared to a no-trait version.
Pro Tips for the Primal Fusion Quest
- Prioritize awakening Goki and Vegata first. Their awakened forms will make the Infinite waves and raid tasks much easier.
- Use double rewards if available. During special events, Infinite waves may grant double wave progress. Check the game’s news regularly.
- Join a squadron. Co-op helps with raids and Infinite mode. Playing with friends reduces boredom and often speeds up runs.
- Don’t forget to equip good traits on your support units. Even your filler units benefit from Reroll Cubes.
- GT City Raid Act 4 can be repeated quickly if you have a strong team. Some players report finishing a run in under 2 minutes with a fully awakened squad.
