How to Get Shikai EXP in Type Soul

Shikai EXP in Type Soul is essential for Shinigami players aiming to unlock and upgrade their Shikai abilities. Gaining Shikai EXP involves specific actions tied to your Zanpakuto’s progression and combat performance. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to earn Shikai EXP efficiently, based on the game’s mechanics.

What is Shikai EXP?

Shikai EXP is a specialized experience points system that contributes to:

Unlocking your Shikai (the initial release of your Zanpakuto).
Progressing toward Bankai (the ultimate Zanpakuto form).
Enhancing your Shinigami-specific skills and abilities.

Meditate to Start Earning Shikai EXP

Requirement: Reach Grade 2 as a Shinigami .
Action: Press “M” to meditate in Soul Society.
Duration: Each meditation session takes 5–7 minutes (your character will stand up automatically when done) .
Frequency: You must meditate 3 times to unlock the Shikai boss fight. The fourth meditation teleports you to the inner world for the battle .
Tip: Ensure you have full Reiatsu before meditating, as low Reiatsu may hinder progress .

Defeat the Shikai Boss

After 3 Meditations: Your fourth meditation session triggers a teleportation to your inner world, where you face a boss representing your Zanpakuto spirit .
Combat:
- The boss uses your own skills and abilities, making it a challenging fight .
- Use Flashstep (Shift + Q) to dodge attacks and Kendo or Kido skills for ranged damage .
- Grip the spirit immediately after defeating it to prevent it from resurrecting .
Reward: Upon victory, you gain Shikai EXP and unlock your Shikai abilities .

Farm Shikai EXP Through Gameplay

After unlocking Shikai, you can earn additional EXP by:

Using Shikai in Combat: Activate Shikai with Keybind “J” and use its skills (Z, X, C) in PvE or PvP to gain EXP .
Completing Missions: Focus on Division missions (e.g., Division 4 for healing, Division 5 for Hollow hunting) to earn Shinigami-specific EXP, which contributes to Shikai progression.
Purifying Lost Souls: Press “P” in Karakura Town to purify Lost Soul NPCs—this action aligns with “Kind Hearted” Zanpakuto dialogues and boosts EXP .

Optimize Your Playstyle for EXP Gain

Your Zanpakuto spirit’s dialogue and personality (based on your actions) can influence EXP efficiency :

Hateful Spirit: Focus on gripping NPCs and players .
Chaotic Spirit: Win PvP missions and grip players .
Pure Spirit: Kill Hollows regularly .
Vengeful Spirit: Grip players who have gripped you .
Kind Hearted Spirit: Purify Lost Soul NPCs .
Squeamish/Based Spirit: Complete Division missions (4-5) .

Avoid Common Pitfalls

Death Penalty: Dying reduces your max Reiatsu, making meditation harder. Avoid unnecessary PvP until you unlock Shikai .
Failed Boss Fights: If you lose to the Shikai boss, you must wait 10 minutes before retrying (no cooldown as of July 24, but confirm in-game) .
RNG Factors: Shikai elements and weapons are randomly assigned after defeating the boss. Use Shikai Reroll Items to target desired abilities .

Advanced Tips for Efficiency

Use Kendo or Kido: These skill trees simplify the Shikai boss fight due to their ranged capabilities .
Stat Allocation: Invest in Speed to kite the boss or Hakuda for melee damage .
Elixirs: Red Elixirs can provide healing during the boss fight if needed .
Team Up: For post-Shikai EXP grinding, join raids or group missions to use Shikai skills safely.

Conclusion

To maximize Shikai EXP in Type Soul:

Reach Grade 2 and meditate 3 times (5–7 minutes each).
Defeat the Shikai boss using dodges and optimal skills.
Use Shikai abilities in combat and complete Division missions.
Align your playstyle with your Zanpakuto spirit’s personality for bonus EXP.
