Type Soul: Shikai Weapon Tier List

Type Soul features awakening modes that the members of each of its playable factions can use. For Arrancars, it is Resurrection, while Quincies have access to Voltstanding. If you are playing as a Soul Reaper, the first step to reaching your maximum awakening state is to achieve Shikai. It is a powerful awakening in its own right, boasting incredible abilities that can show you what this faction is truly capable of.

When combined with the right weapons, the potential of this form skyrockets. If you’re new to the Bleach-inspired experience, you may not be sure which option is the best to pair with your Shikai form. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve ranked all weapons available for this form in Type Soul.

Update: Since this tier list’s creation, various balance updates have shaken up the meta considerably. This list has been updated to reflect how the weapons perform in the current PvP environment.

S-tier options boast the highest damage and utility out of all Shikai weapons on this list. You can use these with nearly every build with resounding success, which is precisely why they are in this section.

Here’s the standout ability for each S-tier weapon:

• Hammer: Powerful attacks with hyper armor
• Dagger: Fast normal and critical attacks

---

A-Tier: Dependable picks

Shikai Weapon	Rarity
Odachi	Mythical
Longsword	Legendary
Greatsword	Common

A-tier weapons work with most builds but can clearly perform better in certain setups than others. There are clear flaws in these options as opposed to the near-perfect S-tier's inclusions.

Here’s why each weapon is in this tier:

• Odachi: Powerful normal and critical attacks
• Longsword: Good range with normal attacks
• Greatsword: Lunging critical hit with armor

B-tier: Decent Performance

B-tier weapons need to be used with specific builds, or they won’t function well. This makes them somewhat niche and overall less effective than their counterparts in the S and A tiers.

Here are the standout qualities of these weapons:

• Katana: Long-range critical attack
• Spear: Good range on normal attacks that combo with skills
• Dual Swords: Lunging critical attack.

---

C-Tier: Sub-par combat abilities

Shikai Weapon	Rarity
Twinblade	Common
Scythe	Common
Hakuda gauntlets	Common

C-tier weapons have the potential to be decent but require super-specific setups to be effective. There is almost nothing they do that the other weapons don’t do better. So, we recommend using a different weapon that suits your playstyle instead.

Here’s what made them a shoo-in for this tier:

• Twinblade: Slow moves that are easy to dodge
• Scythe: Decent normals with little else to offer
• Hakuda gauntlets: Lackluster critical attack
