To get the Primal Core in Anime Squadron you must complete all five tasks of the “Primal Fusion” special quest and claim its grand reward — it is a one-time quest reward, not a farmable drop from Story, Infinite, or Raids.
What the Primal Core is and where it comes from
The Primal Core exists for one reason: to evolve your Goki (SSJ4) into Gometa (SSJ4) in Anime Squadron. Because it is locked behind a special quest rather than a drop table, you cannot farm it by replaying Story stages or grinding Infinite mode. You earn exactly one by finishing the “Primal Fusion” questline in its entirety. The quest itself is gated behind five distinct tasks that test your unit roster, your endurance, and your raid consistency, so it is worth knowing the full scope before you commit.
The five Primal Fusion tasks and rewards
| Task | Required | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Awaken Goki SSJ4 | Pull Goki SSJ4 (Mythic) and Awaken it | 10 Trait Shards |
| 2. Awaken Vegata SSJ4 | Pull Vegata SSJ4 (Mythic) and Awaken it | 10 Trait Shards |
| 3. Infinite waves | Complete 500 Infinite waves (across multiple runs) | 15 Reroll Cubes |
| 4. Raid stages | Clear 100 Raid stages total | 7,500 Gold |
| 5. GT City Raid | Clear GT City Raid Act 4 twenty times | 3 Perfect Cubes |
The quest is split across five tasks, and you must clear all of them to unlock the grand reward that contains the Primal Core. Two of the tasks require pulling and awakening specific Mythic units from the gotcha, while the rest are pure grind objectives. Both Goki SSJ4 and Vegata SSJ4 are Mythic rarity units available from the Basic Banner and the Selection Banner — and you must Awaken them, not merely own them, for the task to count. Because these units bring strong damage, huge range, and powerful passives, awakening them early also gives you the firepower to chew through the wave and raid requirements that follow.
Once all five are marked complete, return to the Special Quest panel to claim the grand prize. The final reward bundle includes 1 Primal Core, 10,000 Gems, 10,000 Gold, and roughly 125 of a high-value currency. Text guides list this as 125 Trait Shards, while a video showcase refers to them as 125 Reroll Cubes — this discrepancy may stem from a patch or different terminology, so verify the exact item name in your in-game quest panel before claiming.
What the Primal Core is used for: awakening Gometa SSJ4
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eclipse Godstone | 10 |
| King’s Haki Residue | 10 |
| Chakra Fragment | 10 |
| Zeni | 200 |
| Primal Core | 1 |
| Gold | 5,000 |
Common mistakes players make chasing the Primal Core
A subtler error is assuming that simply pulling the Mythic units is enough. The quest requires you to Awaken both Goki and Vegata SSJ4, which means collecting their specific awakening materials on top of the luck needed to pull them from the Basic or Selection banner. Players also routinely underestimate the grind — 500 Infinite waves, 100 Raid stages, and 20 clears of GT City Raid Act 4 is a serious time investment that demands planned squad comps and AFK strategies. Finally, do not ignore the evolution materials. Even with the Primal Core in hand, you still need Eclipse Godstone, King’s Haki Residue, Chakra Fragment, Zeni, and Gold to actually awaken Gometa.
Pull and Awaken Goki SSJ4 and Vegata SSJ4 first — their huge range and strong passives will carry you through the 500 Infinite waves and 100 Raid stages far faster than a standard team.
With the Primal Core secured, your focus shifts to finishing the Gometa evolution and optimizing your new unit. Farm Eclipse Godstone, King’s Haki Residue, Chakra Fragment, and Zeni through the game’s material stages to cover the awakening cost at the Upgrade zone. For the grind tasks themselves, build AFK-friendly team comps with high-range DPS units to auto-clear Infinite waves, and target the most efficient Raid stages to knock out the 100-stage requirement. Once Gometa (SSJ4) is awakened, use your stockpiled Trait Shards, Reroll Cubes, and Perfect Cubes to roll for top-tier traits and builds that maximize his Secret rarity DPS.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Primal Core drop from Story, Infinite, or Raids?
No. The Primal Core does not drop from Story, Squadron, Infinite, or Raid stages. It is strictly a one-time reward from completing the “Primal Fusion” special quest.
Is the Primal Core repeatable or a one-time reward?
Current sources only describe the Primal Core as a one-time Special Quest reward. There is no verified repeatable or farmable source for it yet.
Which units do I need (and are they Goku or Goki / Vegeta or Vegata)?
The in-game units are named Goki SSJ4 and Vegata SSJ4, though some sources and players refer to them as Goku and Vegeta. Both are Mythic rarity units obtainable from the Basic Banner and Selection Banner, and you must Awaken them — not just own them — to complete the quest.
What does the Primal Core actually do?
The Primal Core is the key material required to awaken Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) into Gometa (SSJ4), a Secret rarity DPS unit. The awakening is performed at the Awakening NPC in the Upgrade zone.
Roughly how long is the Primal Fusion grind?
It is a serious time investment. You need to clear 500 Infinite waves, 100 Raid stages, and 20 runs of GT City Raid Act 4, on top of pulling and awakening two Mythic units. Plan your squad comps and AFK strategies accordingly to make the wave and raid grinds manageable.
