Hollow Era Shikai Tier List
While all Hollow Era **Shikai** are powerful, their effectiveness varies. **Ryuujin Jakka**, mirroring its Bleach counterpart, reigns supreme, boasting exceptional power and explosive damage. If you don't initially obtain it, **Benihime** offers a versatile and enjoyable option for beginners.
Hollow Era Shikai List
Below is a comprehensive list detailing each Hollow Era **Shikai**:
| Shikai | Abilities |
|---|---|
 | An incredibly powerful, explosive **Shikai** ideal for all-out offensive strategies. It offers a wealth of offensive options followed by potent damage over time (DoT). • **Z:** Unleashes a fiery burst from the sword, charging forward and burning enemies. • **X:** Performs a slash, creating a fiery burst around the user. • **C:** Lunges forward, impaling the opponent before unleashing a fiery burst. • **Ultimate:** Summons fiery pillars, burning those caught within. |
 | A highly versatile and mobile **Shikai** perfect for hit-and-run combat and crowd control. • **Z:** Manifests ice underfoot, allowing skating and freezing those collided with. • **X:** Unleashes an ice pillar at the cursor's location. • **C:** Summons an ice dragon that flies before crashing down at the cursor's location. • **Ultimate:** Charges energy before unleashing a freeze effect on surrounding enemies. |
 | A strong offensive **Shikai** best used at range. Easy to use but requires mastery. • **Z:** Transforms petals into a projectile sword that returns after hitting multiple enemies. • **X:** Unleashes a burst of petals, lifting the opponent into the air. • **C:** Transforms petals into a forward-moving tornado. • **Ultimate:** Summons petals that rise from the ground at the cursor's location, lifting the opponent. |
 | An excellent starting **Shikai**, proficient in various combat aspects. • **Z:** Sends forth an energy slash. • **X:** Creates a net that traps and then explodes, dealing damage. • **C:** Sends three slashes toward the cursor. • **Ultimate:** Soars into the air, unleashing a high-damage missile barrage. |
 | A basic **Shikai** for close-quarters combat, dealing high damage quickly. • **Z:** Unleashes a Getsuga Tenshou. • **X:** Unleashes a Getsuga that grabs the opponent, launching them into the air before exploding. • **C:** Dashes forward before slashing. • **Ultimate:** Unleashes an even larger Getsuga Tenshou. |
The difference between **Ryuujin Jakka** and **Zangetsu** is significant. While **Zangetsu** is simple yet effective, it cannot match **Ryuujin Jakka's** raw power and versatility. Each **Shikai** possesses unique abilities and applications; experimentation is crucial before committing to one.
