How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era
In Hollow Era, your journey begins as a Soul Spirit. To transform into a Shinigami or Soul Reaper, you must engage with the NPC named Hurt Shinigami, who will offer you your first quest. By accepting this role, you commit to the Shinigami path, with no option to switch to a Hollow—unless you later decide to become a Visored. If you're keen on playing as a Hollow, our separate guide on Hollow progression can help you navigate that route.
During the crucial decision between becoming a Shinigami or a Hollow, timing is key. Choosing the Hollow path involves breaking your chain, whereas opting for Shinigami means your chain will gradually break on its own. Every two minutes, a section of the chain will break, leading to an inevitable transformation into a Hollow if ignored. In such a scenario, refer to our resurrection moves lists to understand your new Hollow abilities.
Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide
Your initial task as a Shinigami is to purify 6 Lost Souls, aligning with your duty to maintain the balance between life and death. Following this, you'll pick up a quest from an NPC near Hurt Shinigami, requiring you to deliver a letter to a Doctor near the hospital.
This is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with your powers. Consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from a Urahara shop. If funds allow, use the bus stop as a teleport/fast travel option for $200 to navigate the expansive map more efficiently. Alternatively, you can purchase infinite fast travel in the Robux Shop for 149 Robux.
Subsequent quests are marked with a red crosshair, guiding you through various challenges such as defeating Hollows and Corrupted Shinigamis until you reach level 15. These quests are categorized into repeatable, progression, and path-specific quests, including those for Vizard and Airwalk.
Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu
To maximize your Shinigami potential, strategic allocation of skill points is essential. The Reiatsu Skill Tree features powerful Kido abilities exclusive to Shinigami. Here's how the Kido and Reiatsu Nodes work:
- Kido Nodes enhance the damage output of Kido skills.
- Reiatsu Nodes increase your maximum Reiatsu capacity.
Below are some notable Kido abilities:
- Caja Negacion: Launches a beam of lightning from your finger. When combined with Electric, it spreads electricity outward from the target.
- Shakkaho: Generates a red energy ball in your hand, causing an explosion upon impact. Using Ragdoll can knock back enemies, while Fire ignites them.
- Chain Bind: Summons energy chains to pull enemies toward you.
- Prison of Light: Immobilizes enemies with six light rods, perfect for dealing with agile foes.
- Thunder Sear: A slow-moving lightning ball that causes electric damage and explodes upon contact, ideal for crowd control.
How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era
Reaching level 15 unlocks the Shikai Training quest from Urihiro. Completing this quest by defeating Urahara Kisuke grants you 1,700 experience points and access to Shikai powers.
Warning: Facing Kisuke at level 15 can be challenging without an optimized character. Consider grinding to level 25 or higher before attempting this if needed.
Using Shikai
Upon unlocking Shikai, your weapon gains a random mighty ability. If unsatisfied with the power, you can re-roll it at Urahara Shop for a fee. The game's Rage Bar fills with damage taken or dealt, allowing you to activate Shikai by pressing Y (default keybind) when full. Shikai deactivates when your Reiatsu is depleted or you release the key.
Hollow Era Shikai Mastering
Your Shikai Mastery Level is determined by Mastery Points earned from using Shikai Skills. Higher Mastery Levels reduce the Rage required for Shikai usage and unlock unique aura effects and character appearances:
- Mastery Level 1: 1-149 Points. Grants Transparent Aura.
- Mastery Level 2: 150-299 Points. Grants a brighter aura with particles.
- Mastery Level 3: 300-499 Points. Grants a Lightning boost.
- Mastery Level 4: 500+ Points. Grants a zone of flying stones around you.
Becoming a Visored in the Hollow Era
Initially, choosing the Shinigami path locks you out of playing as a Hollow. However, becoming a Visored allows you to break this barrier and switch between Shinigami and Hollow using your Hollow Mask. To start this journey, you must reach level 50 to unlock the Vizard quest at Vizard's Warehouse.
To progress further, you need to acquire the Hogyoku, a pivotal item in Bleach lore that allows you to transcend the Shinigami-Hollow divide. Obtaining it requires defeating the King of Hueco Mundo, with a mere 1% drop rate. After securing the Hogyoku, you can pursue the Vizard fighting style.
Hollow Era Visored Mastering
Becoming a Visored grants you access to various perks, including Mask Control to prevent Hollow possession and Visored nodes that extend mask-wearing time and boost damage output from Hollow powers.
Visored Abilities in Hollow Era
- Hollow Mask: Enables you to control your inner Hollow and wear the mask on command.
- Cero: Charges a beam of Reiatsu for significant damage.
- Final Cero: Pins enemies down and unleashes a powerful Cero from above.
- Vasto Rage: Temporarily transforms you into the mightiest Hollow type, unleashing your full potential.
What About Hollow Era Bankai?
Currently, Bankai is not available in Hollow Era. Given the game's popularity, future updates might introduce this feature, though no release date has been confirmed.
Hollow Era Tips and Tricks
- Use the lockup button to focus on your primary target, especially helpful during laggy or buggy moments.
- Learn how to block enemy attacks quickly, as even low-level enemies can deal substantial damage.
- Invest in bus teleport to save time on the large map.
- Prioritize Strength and Speed when allocating Skill Points for early game advantage.
- Use Reiatsu sense (default keybind J) to reveal markers around Karakura.
- If repetitive tasks bother you, the Shinigami path might be more enjoyable than the Hollow route.
This concludes our Hollow Era Shinigami progression guide. Remember, the game is still in development, so expect occasional bugs and lag. To give yourself an early boost, don't forget to claim your Hollow Era codes!
