You finally got them. All seven massive, planet-sized Super Dragon Balls. It wasn't easy. You probably spent hours grinding through the "Sparking! Zero" episode battles or lucked into a set through a special edition bonus. Now, the giant golden dragon is hovering over the universe, waiting for you to say something.
But here’s the thing: people mess this up.
Most players get blinded by the shiny options and pick something they could’ve just bought with a little Zeni later. It's a tragedy, honestly. You've got the power to change reality, and you're out here wishing for a tracksuit you can buy at level 20? Let's fix that.
What to Use Super Shenron on Without Regretting It
If you want the short answer, Super Shenron is for things you can’t get anywhere else. Basically, that means Titles and specific Ability Items like Broly's Ring. Everything else—the characters, the Zeni, the outfits—is mostly a trap. It feels good in the moment to get a million Zeni, but you’ll be swimming in gold after a few hours of World Tournament grinding anyway.
The Exclusivity Tier List
Not all wishes are created equal. Since you only get a handful of Super Shenron summons throughout the entire game (mostly from finishing the main story arcs of Goku, Future Trunks, and Jiren), you have to be picky.

- The "Must-Haves": The exclusive Titles. These are purely for flex, but they are the only things in the game that are 100% locked behind Super Shenron.
- The "Kinda Useful": Broly’s Ring. This item prevents transformations and fusions during battle. It's niche, but it changes how the game is played.
- The "Scams": Goku Black and Fused Zamasu. Don't do it. You can literally buy them in the shop once you hit Player Level 20.
The Titles: The Only Real Flex
If you’re a completionist, this is where your wishes go. Period. There are five specific titles that Super Shenron holds hostage:
- Giant Sized.
- Make Me Immortal.
- Grant My Wish of Immortality and Eternal Youth.
- Give Me the World's Best Ice Cream.
- Get Out of Here. That's My Only Wish.
Are they useful for winning a fight? No. Do they make you look like a legend in online lobbies? Absolutely. If you use a wish on "Ice Cream" and your opponent sees it, they know you've put in the work to hunt the Super Dragon Balls.
Broly’s Ring and Ability Items
Let’s talk about gameplay. Most "Ability Items" like Mirage or Guard Master show up in the shop as you level up. They usually cost around 150,000 Zeni. That’s peanuts in the long run.
Broly’s Ring is the outlier. It's widely considered the most valuable gameplay wish because it’s a pain to find otherwise. It stops fusions and transformations. If you're tired of fighting Vegito or watching your opponent go Blue mid-match, this is your best friend.
Expert Tip: Some players report being able to get Broly's Ring from Porunga too, but if you have a Super Shenron wish burning a hole in your pocket and you already have the titles you want, this is the only gameplay item worth the slot.
Why You Should Avoid Character Wishes
It’s tempting to wish for Goku Black or Fused Zamasu early. I get it. They’re cool, they’re powerful, and they have some of the best animations in the game.
But you're throwing away a rare resource.
By the time you finish the main story paths, you'll likely be close to Player Level 20 anyway. Once you hit that mark, these characters just appear in the shop for a relatively low Zeni price. If you wish for them, you're essentially trading a "once-per-playthrough" item for something you could have earned by playing for another hour.
The Player Level Trap
One of the options is "I want you to raise my player level."
If you're at Level 1, Super Shenron can boost you all the way to Level 15 or 18. If you're already Level 15, he might only give you a level and a half. It’s a massive shortcut for new players who want to unlock shop items immediately.
But think about it: you get experience for everything you do.
Win a fight? XP. Complete a mission? XP. Why waste a cosmic wish on something that happens automatically just by playing the game? It’s like wishing for a sandwich when you’re already standing in a kitchen.
How to Get More Super Dragon Balls
Since the wishes are so limited, you need to know where to find the sets. You don't "farm" these like the regular ones; they are rewards for specific milestones.
- Goku’s Story: Complete the canon path.
- Jiren’s Story: Find the "True Strength" What-If path.
- Future Trunks’ Story: There are actually two branches here that reward a set—look for the "Stay with Gohan" and "Help Vegeta" paths.
- Ultimate Edition: If you paid for the premium version of the game, you get one summon right out of the gate.
Actionable Strategy for Your Wishes
Don't overthink it, but don't be lazy. If you have your first set of Super Dragon Balls right now, follow this priority list:
- Check your Player Level. If you are below Level 20 and absolutely must have Broly's Ring for a specific build, take it.
- Go for the Titles. If you care about 100% completion, pick "Grant My Wish of Immortality and Eternal Youth" first. It’s the classic.
- Ignore the Zeni. 1,000,000 Zeni sounds like a lot, but you can earn that in 15 minutes by replaying the final Goku vs. Frieza mission on Namek once you have the right Z-items equipped.
- Save your summons. You can't hold more than one set of Super Dragon Balls at a time. If you earn a second set while the first is still in your inventory, the new set is gone forever. Use them as soon as you get them.
Basically, treat Super Shenron like a trophy room, not a grocery store. Use him for the rare, weird, and exclusive stuff that makes your profile stand out. Everything else is just a distraction from the grind.
