Not sure which Shikai is worth unlocking in Roblox Paradox? Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through the Paradox Shikai list, ranking all the moves from best to worst so you can make a smart decision in the game.
Paradox Shikai Tier List
Shikai refers to the first level of the Soul Reaper’s weapon, known as a Zanpakuto, which undergoes a transformation to unlock unique abilities. In Roblox Paradox, Shikai has eight different moves/abilities so far, which are further divided into different rarities. Here’s a quick look at their rankings:
- S level: Flower, Gravity, Fury
- A level: Lightning, Blood
- B level: Fire, Shadow
- C level: wind
S level
- Flower: Flower is a legendary Shikai in Paradox and is by far the best choice due to the combination of abilities it offers. Its Blossom ability is perfect for delaying an enemy’s attack as it sends the opponent away with its pink tornado. If you’re feeling a little aggressive, you can use its move Sakura Slash, which deals significant damage to the enemy in less than two seconds.
- Gravity: Gravity is definitely one of the most versatile and spam-friendly Shikais due to its fast attack. When you perform its Gravity Control move, your character pushes forward and grabs the enemy while simultaneously launching them into the air and knocking them back. I especially recommend using its Gravity Pull in close combat to quickly bring enemies closer to you. This can turn the tide of the battle during critical situations.
- Fury: Rampage boasts the highest damage among all Shikais in the game. It has three moves (Crusher, Rage and Meteor Crash) and all of them deal great damage. You will find yourself using its Rage attack the most, as it allows you to quickly finish off the enemy in one hit.
A-Tier
- Lightning Blood: Lightning has a higher drop compared to S-Tier Shikais and it is definitely a good choice for most players. This particular Shikai relies heavily on lightning attacks, which are known for their massive damage. The best part is that it is difficult for your opponents to avoid its moveset which leaves no room to escape.
- Blood: Blood is one of the rarest and deadliest Shikais in Roblox Paradox. It excels in both damage and reach and it’s powerful enough to wipe out opponents with moves like Ending, which sends a blood dragon to kill your enemies. However, its abilities are not necessarily the best in the game as enemies can easily counter them using S-Tier moves.
B-Tier
- Fire: Fire, as the name suggests, is primarily based on fire skills. While it’s a decent choice for many beginners, I wouldn’t recommend using it at higher levels due to its slow attack speed. Specifically, its Incinerate and Whirl moves are quite slow, making it easy for opponents to dodge and counter.
- Shadow: Shadow comes with significant risk, especially during long range combat. Its primary move, Eclipse, slashes the opponent with a sword, which is definitely a great move in close combat. However, I didn’t find myself using it most of the time due to its limited range.
C-Tier
- wind: Wind is the Shikai you should avoid using at all costs due to its lack of powerful abilities. Similar to B-Tier options, you can use it if you’re just starting out, but its damage isn’t enough to dominate players with better Shikais. As a result, you won’t stand a chance against even an average player if you have Wind equipped.
Please note: The top level list is based on the opinion of the author. We strongly encourage you to explore all the options and use the one you like best.
How to get Shikai in Paradox
To get Shikai, you need to follow these steps:
- You need to get 75 potential and take the Shinigami exam.
- Then you have to get 200 potential and meditate to clear a minigame.
- Finally, you must defeat the boss and complete the Shikai acquisition.
How to get 75 potential and take the Shinigami exam
One of the best methods to farm potential in Paradox is conducting wave defense missions which basically requires you to parry and quickly defeat NPCs. Fortunately, parrying isn’t that difficult since the game has a slower pace. If wave defense is difficult, try by doing the Transport the Buyer quest instead. It’s even easier because you don’t have to deal with enemies. Just escort the NPC to the designated location. Eliminate them and you will gain a lot of potential.
Once you has 75 potentialit’s time to find the professor. From the trainer, go straight and enter the classroom. press ‘E’ for interact with the professor who will guide you through the exam.
The answers are simple:
- 13
- Shikai
- A Zanpakuto Spirit
- Protect the living world of Hollows
- Soul Society
- Kisuke
- A paradox
- 2
Once you pass, your outfit will change as you have officially become a Shinigami.
How to meditate and finish the minigame in Paradox
after reaching 200 potentialyou have to meditate. From pressing ‘N,’ you can start the meditation process. During this stage, a mini-game will appear where you press the corresponding numbers on your keyboard. Stage 1 is very simple, but Stage 2 is a little more difficult, which requires you to press two numbers at once. It may take a few tries, but don’t worry! You can skip some parts without any penalty and you need to at least 40 points to pass.
How to beat the boss and unlock Shikai
After that, you will advance to Stage 3, where you will enter a boss room. You will see a corridor that leads to your spirit. Interact with it and a boss fight will begin. You will find that the boss teleports from one place to another most of the time, so I would recommend bringing high damage skills like Dynamic Strike and Ghost Push to deal heavy damage before the Shikai boss can even act. I was able to beat this boss in under two minutes and under 30 hits.
After the boss goes down, you’ll finally unlock Shikai. To activate it, simple press ‘V’ on your keyboard.
