Menoscar In Type Soul: A Complete Guide About Menoscar How to Become Menoscar

Menoscar In Type Soul is the weakest type of Arrancar that results from ripping your mask during the Menos (Gillian) stage of Hollow evolution.

While it allows early access to the Arrancar form, it comes with significant drawbacks compared to evolving further before mask removal.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of Menoscar, including its mechanics and how to progress beyond it. [Do check our Type Soul Section]

What is a Menoscar In Type Soul?

Definition: A Menoscar is an Arrancar variant obtained by pressing Ctrl + K to rip your mask while in the Menos (Gillian) stage of Hollow evolution.
Appearance: Characterized by a pointy nose and a humanoid form, distinguishing it from other Arrancar types.
Base Grade: Starts at Grade 5, the lowest among Arrancars, resulting in weaker stats (e.g., lower health, posture, and Reiatsu) compared to Adjucar (Grade 3) or Vastocar (Semi-Grade 2).
Not Recommended: Generally advised against due to its inferior base stats and the ease of evolving to Adjuchas for a stronger Arrancar form.

How to Become a Menoscar

Start as a Hollow: Begin as a Fishbone and consume other Hollows (press B on their remains) to evolve into a Menos (Gillian).
Rip Your Mask: While in the Menos stage, press Ctrl + K (or Down D-pad Arrow + Y on controllers) to remove your mask and become a Menoscar.
Alternative Path: If you accidentally become a Menoscar, you can still upgrade to Vastocar later using 7 Hogyoku Fragments (obtained from raids or PvP).

Menoscar vs. Other Arrancar Forms

Form	Base Grade	How to Obtain	Pros	Cons
Menoscar	Grade 5	Rip mask as Menos	Early humanoid form	Weakest stats, slow progression
Adjucar	Grade 3	Rip mask as Adjuchas	Mid-tier stats	Requires Hogyoku for Vastocar
Vastocar	Semi-Grade 2	Rip mask as Vasto Lorde	Best stats, Segunda Etapa access	Grind-intensive

Abilities and Progression

Standard Arrancar Skills: Despite its weaknesses, a Menoscar can access all Arrancar abilities, including Cero variants (e.g., Tri-Cero, Cero Grab), Hierro (defensive ability), and Resurrección (full transformation).
Progression Path:
- Grade Advancement: Complete missions and defeat enemies to raise your grade (e.g., Grade 2 for Partial Resurrección, Elite Grade for Full Resurrección).
- True Vastocar Upgrade: Use 7 Hogyoku Fragments to transform into a lesser Vastocar, improving your stats and unlocking Segunda Etapa (advanced form).
- Endgame Content: Menoscars can eventually achieve Full Resurrección and Segunda Etapa like other Arrancars, but the path is harder due to lower starting stats.

Tips for Menoscar Players

Avoid Early Mask Rip: If possible, evolve to Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde before ripping your mask for better stats.
Farm Hogyoku Fragments: Focus on raids or PvP to collect 7 Hogyoku Fragments for the Vastocar upgrade.
Prioritize PvE: Due to low stats, avoid PvP until you upgrade to Vastocar or higher grades.
Use Skill Trees: Invest in Kido or Hakuda skills to compensate for combat weaknesses.

Risks and Limitations

Stat Disadvantage: Menoscars have the lowest base stats among Arrancars, making early-game PvP and progression challenging.
Grind-Intensive Upgrade: Upgrading to Vastocar requires farming Hogyoku Fragments, which can be time-consuming.
No Flashstep: Unlike Vasto Lorde, Menoscars lack innate flashstep abilities, reducing mobility.

How to Progress Beyond Menoscar

Upgrade to Vastocar:
- Collect 7 Hogyoku Fragments from raids, Clan Wars, or ranked matches.
- Use the fragments to transform into a lesser Vastocar (improved stats but not as strong as a true Vastocar from Vasto Lorde).
Pursue Endgame Quests:
- Full Resurrección: Complete raid wins (13 raids), deathless kill tasks (50 Hollow NPCs, 10 Elite grips, 1 world boss), and the Menos Forest maze.
- Segunda Etapa: After Full Resurrección, grip 20 players with Bankai, Voltstanding, or Full Resurrección.

Conclusion

While a Menoscar is the weakest Arrancar variant, it is not a dead end. With strategic farming and upgrades, you can progress to Vastocar and access endgame content like Resurrección and Segunda Etapa. However, for optimal efficiency, avoid ripping your mask as a Menos—wait until you reach Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde for better stats. For more details, refer to the Type Soul Wiki or community guides.
