• Majin Buu Saga

SS3 Goku can be used on Super AGL, "Majin Buu Saga" and "Super Saiyan 3".

SS3 Goku does not link particularly well with most of the units in the element since Over in a Flash is not exactly a common Ki link. If you want to run him, he should be put on rotation with either Next-Level Strike Super Saiyan God SS Goku, [Spirited Offense] Super Saiyan 3 Goku (GT) or another Over in a Flash unit in order to Super Attack consistently. The alternative is to keep him off-rotation, since the rest of the units on the team links very well together, it shouldn't be problem saving a few orbs for him. His main role is to deal damage, but his DEF boost makes him very valuable defensively too.

On this team the ideal way to run SS3 Goku would be to have him on rotation with0 Beyond the Ferocious Flash Majin Vegeta, even though [Astounding Transformation] Super Saiyan 3 Goku (Angel) is usually preferred over him. Under [Limitless Radiance] Super Vegito's Leader Skill, SS3 Goku can perform very well, taking full advantage of the 170% DEF boost with his high natural stats.

[Mystery Super Technique] SS3 Goku has a problem on this team, he shares the same name as the hardest hitter in the category and in the game, [Golden Fist] SS3 Goku , the last non-Dokkan Fest LR. Not being able to out-damage such a strong unit, Mystery Super Technique] SS3 Goku has been kicked off the optimal formation of the team, but that doesn't mean that he is not a good pick. "SS3" is where this unit performs best: 170% to ATK and DEF is a huge boost and the the team has amazing synergy, being filled with units with Over in a Flash.

When fully Z-Awakened SS3 Goku's Super Attack jumps from a supreme to an immense damage multiplier and greatly lowers enemy's DEF. No particularly relevant change in terms of additional effect, but the difference the multiplier makes is huge.

SS3 Goku's Leader Skill becomes the same one as Unparalleled Golden Ki Super Vegito, still usable, but not that good compared to what the current meta has to offer.

One of the biggest changes the Extreme Z-Awakening makes for SS3 Goku is the Passive, not only increasing the boost in ATK by 20%, but also adding a 70% DEF boost. Combining these boosts with SS3 Goku's high stats is what makes him so incredibly good: the Potential System these old units have is notably better as it offers around 7000 more per stat instead of 5000.

SS3 Goku's links are not the best when considered outside a "SS3" team, he notably lacks Shocking Speed and Prepared for Battle, greatly hindering his consistency on Super AGL. The rest of the links are pretty standard, Super Saiyan and Fierce Battle are pretty common ATK links and they are easy to activate.

Being an AGL type means that the best spread for SS3 Goku is lv.11 Additionals and lv.15 Criticals. Due to how tanky this unit can be with some Potential System investment, Dodges are not really advised, SS3 Goku is going to absorb most of the damage anyway since, unlike Super Warrior of Destruction Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, he receives his DEF boost right away and not after performing a Super Attack.

SS3 Goku does not have a farmable Super Attack, but his Extreme Z-Awakening Event rewards you with enough AGL Grand Kais to raise his SA lv.12 out of 15. Another possible way to raise his SA would be to use [Toward a Distant World] SS3 Goku from the 3rd Anniversary.

• There are 7 Extreme Z-Awakening levels, each of which requires a certain amount of medals:
