Project Mugetsu Shikai Tier List
The tier list right now for the different Shikai is pretty clearly based on rarity. If you are able to land yourself an A-Tier Shikai, I wouldn’t look to upgrade to the S-Tier. It is a 1% chance that you end up getting it, which makes it nearly impossible. To learn more about these, check out our how to get a Shikai guide.
S-Tier: Ryujin Jakka
Ryujin Jakka is an S-Tier Shikai due to its highly effective and versatile moveset, which offers a powerful combination of damage, crowd control, and burning effects.
The first move, Taimatsu, unlocked at Zanpakuto Evolution Level 0, allows the user to fire flames at their opponent, dealing 38.5 damage and causing a burning effect for 5 seconds (1 damage per second). While this move cannot guardbreak, it has a relatively short 10-second cooldown.
The second move, Hitotsume Nadegiri, unlocked at Level 10, has the user grab their opponent at close range and deliver a fiery blow, dealing 42 damage and inflicting a 5-second burn. This move can be used as a combo extender and can guardbreak, with a 15-second cooldown.
The third move, Ennetsu Jigoku, unlocked at Level 20, summons flame pillars that inflict 12.5 damage multiple times on opponents. This move can guardbreak and has a 15-second cooldown.
The fourth move, Ryujin Jakka, unlocked at Level 35, involves the user slamming the ground violently, similar to the Punch Leap move, dealing 69.5 damage to all opponents around them and burning them for 30 seconds (2 damage per second). This powerful move can guardbreak and has a 30-second cooldown.
Ryujin Jakka’s S-Tier status comes from the combination of high damage output, crowd control capabilities, burning effects, and guardbreaking potential. This moveset makes it an excellent choice for various situations, allowing the user to dominate the battlefield and overwhelm their opponents.
A-Tier Senbonzakura
Senbonzakura is considered an A-Tier Shikai due to its strategic and powerful moveset, which offers a blend of ranged attacks and mobility. The first move, Senbonzakura, unlocked at Zanpakuto Evolution Level 0, allows the user to send a wave of blade fragments at the opponent. Though it cannot guardbreak, it has a 20-second cooldown, providing consistent ranged pressure. The second move, Vibrant Bloom, unlocked at Level 10, enables the user to shoot projectiles from Senbonzakura’s fragments three times in a row, directed by the mouse pointer. This move also can’t guardbreak but has a 15-second cooldown for frequent use.
The third move, Scattering Spiral, unlocked at Level 20, transforms the user into a pool of fragments that travel swiftly for a short amount of time (3 seconds), concluding with a striking slash. This move can guardbreak and has a 35-second cooldown. Additionally, the user can recover more quickly by pressing M1. The fourth move, Blossoming Petals, unlocked at Level 35, causes Senbonzakura’s fragments to surround the opponents before spinning around them and slicing from multiple angles. This move can guardbreak and has a longer 120-second cooldown, making it a powerful finishing attack.
The combination of ranged attacks, enhanced mobility, and guardbreaking potential makes Senbonzakura a versatile and formidable A-Tier Shikai.
A-Tier: Kamishini
Kamishini is an A-Tier Shikai due to its versatile and damaging moveset that offers a mix of ranged and close combat abilities, making it highly adaptable to various situations.
The first move, Engetsuzan, unlocked at Zanpakuto Evolution Level 0, involves the user dashing forward while swinging Kamishini, followed by an upward slash that launches the foe into the air. This move can guardbreak and has a 12-second cooldown.
The second move, Getsuga Burst, unlocked at Level 10, has the user strike the ground, causing a massive area of effect (AOE) with their weapon. This move can guardbreak and has a 20-second cooldown.
The third move, Tenbu Renjin, unlocked at Level 20, allows the user to unleash a rapid barrage of slashes (with random damage) that hit anyone too close and deflect all incoming projectiles. This move cannot guardbreak but compensates with a 25-second cooldown.
The fourth move, Getsuga Tensho, unlocked at Level 35, involves the user swinging Kamishini downward, firing a crescent-shaped wave of blue energy at the opponent. This move can guardbreak and has a 40-second cooldown.
Kamishini’s A-Tier status is due to the well-rounded combination of guardbreaking potential, both ranged and close combat capabilities, AOE damage, and projectile deflection. This moveset enables the user to adapt to different battle situations effectively, making Kamishini a strong and reliable choice.
B-Tier: Hyorinmaru
Hyorinmaru is considered a B-Tier Shikai due to its focus on ice-based attacks and crowd control, though it lacks the versatility and damage potential of higher-tiered Shikai. The first move, Ice Spikes, unlocked at Zanpakuto Evolution Level 0, allows the user to summon ice spikes from below, which can be aimed with the cursor but cannot guardbreak. The second move, Ice Traps, also unlocked at Level 0, enables the user to place traps of ice spikes in the shape of snowflakes, which damage anyone who touches them. While the move can be reactivated to instantly summon the spikes, it cannot guardbreak either.
The third move, Ice Clone, unlocked at Level 20, acts as an evasive maneuver, substituting the user with an ice clone when they are stunned. This ability allows the user to move freely and ragdoll their target, offering a defensive counterplay. The fourth move, Ice Eruption, unlocked at Level 35, involves slamming the ground to freeze anyone hit by the attack, and can blockbreak.
While Hyorinmaru boasts some crowd control and defensive capabilities, its limited offensive options and lack of guardbreaking moves in the early stages make it a B-Tier Shikai. It is still a potent choice in specific situations, but it doesn’t offer the same level of overall power and adaptability as A-Tier or S-Tier Shikai.
C-Tier: Zangetsu
Hyorinmaru is considered a C-Tier Shikai due to its relatively less impactful moveset, which provides a mix of offensive and defensive abilities but lacks the synergy and overall effectiveness of higher-tiered Shikai. The first move, Engetsuzan, unlocked at Zanpakuto Evolution Level 0, involves dashing forward with an upward slash that launches the opponent into the air and can guardbreak, with a 12-second cooldown.
The second move, Getsuga Burst, unlocked at Level 10, has the user strike the ground to cause massive AOE damage. While this move can guardbreak, it has a longer 20-second cooldown. The third move, Tenbu Renjin, unlocked at Level 20, consists of a rapid barrage of slashes that hit nearby opponents and deflect incoming projectiles. However, this move cannot guardbreak and has a 25-second cooldown.
The fourth move, Getsuga Tensho, unlocked at Level 35, involves swinging Zangetsu downward to fire a crescent-shaped wave of energy at the opponent. While this move can guardbreak, it comes with a lengthy 40-second cooldown.
Despite some guardbreaking potential and a mix of offensive and defensive capabilities, Hyorinmaru’s moveset is not as cohesive or powerful as those of higher-ranked Shikai. This limits its effectiveness in various situations, leading to its classification as a C-Tier Shikai.
