VV: ULTIMATUM stacks so many build systems on top of each other that picking the wrong combination can quietly hold your character back for hours. Clans, Hollow Traits, skill trees, Spirit Charms, Elements, and equipment modifiers all feed into how hard you hit and how long you survive. The fastest way to stay competitive is to know which options carry their weight and which ones are safe to reroll away.
Quick answer: Roll Quincy for the smoothest overall race, chase Cifer (Hollow), Kurosaki (Quincy), or Shihoin (Shinigami) for clans, keep Iron Skin as your default Hollow Trait, and put points into Hakuda and Speed first.
VV ULTIMATUM races ranked
Your race decides your progression path, your abilities, and your ceiling. Quincy edges ahead right now because it ramps up quickly and clears PvE content with strong ranged pressure. Arrancar runs deeper thanks to Hollow Traits, but it takes longer to peak. Shinigami trails because some of its future tools are not in yet.
| Tier | Race | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Quincy | Fast early progression and reliable ranged damage in nearly every mode. |
| A | Arrancar | The deepest customization through Traits, but slower to reach full power. |
| B | Shinigami | Solid kit that needs more effort and is waiting on future systems. |
Best clans by race
Clans hand you permanent passive stats the moment you create a character, so they matter for the entire life of a build. There are more than 25 of them split across the three races. Damage players want clans that push Kido, Hakuda, or Weapon damage, while defensive players lean on posture, health, and resistance.
Hollow players should aim for Cifer, the standout because its longer Resurrección window helps every build. Jaegerjaquez is the best Hakuda clan in the game, and Kufang is the cleanest weapon-damage pick.
| Tier | Hollow (Arrancar) clan | Passives |
|---|---|---|
| S | Cifer (1%) | +20% Resurrección, +2.0% Kido Damage, +5.0 Reiatsu, +2.5 Shunpo Stamina |
| A | Aaroniero (1%) | +2.2% Kido Damage, +5.0 Reiatsu, +1.5% Kido Defense, -1.5% Melee Defense |
| A | Jaegerjaquez (9%) | +3.0% Hakuda Damage, +3.0 Shunpo Stamina |
| A | Murciellago (60%) | +5.0 Shunpo Stamina, +10.0 Shunpo Speed |
| B | Antenor (9%) | +1.5% Lightning Damage, +7.5% Posture Regen |
| B | Kufang (9%) | +2.5% Weapon Damage, +0.5% Kido Defense |
| B | Gingerbuck (30%) | +2.0% Melee Defense, +5.0 Posture |
| C | Lousienbairn (30%) | +5.0 Health, +3.5 Posture |
| C | Calius (60%) | +5.0 Equipment Load |
For Quincy, Kurosaki is the most flexible Legendary because it folds weapon damage, Reiatsu, and movement speed into one roll. Ishida and Haschwalth are the go-to Kido picks, and Eisenhauer is the best defensive option.
| Tier | Quincy clan | Passives |
|---|---|---|
| S | Kurosaki (1%) | +2.0 Reiatsu, +2.0% Weapon Damage, +5.0 Shunpo Speed |
| A | Eisenhauer (1%) | Metal arm, +3.0% Melee Defense, +5.0 Posture, +0.5% Hakuda Damage |
| A | Ishida (9%) | +2.0% Kido Damage, +5.0 Shunpo Stamina |
| A | Haschwalth (9%) | +2.5% Kido Damage |
| B | Parnkgjas (9%) | +3.5% Kido Defense, +1.0% Melee Defense |
| B | Richter (60%) | +1.0% Weapon Damage, +2.5 Posture |
| B | Kraus (30%) | +1.5% Melee Defense, +1.0% Kido Defense |
| B | Wernarr (30%) | +5.0 Health, +2.5% Posture Regen |
| C | Schulte (60%) | +5.0 Equipment Load |
Shinigami players should target Shihoin, which packs heavy Shunpo mobility plus small Lightning and Hakuda boosts. Kuchiki is the dedicated Kido pick, and Yamamoto is the best clan for weapon-focused Soul Reapers.
| Tier | Shinigami clan | Passives |
|---|---|---|
| S | Shihoin (1%) | +15 Shunpo Stamina, +5 Shunpo Speed, +1% Lightning Damage, +0.5% Hakuda Damage |
| A | Kamamura (1%) | Wolfman form, +4% Melee Defense, +1% Weapon Damage, -2% Kido Defense |
| A | Kuchiki (9%) | +3% Kido Damage |
| A | Yamamoto (9%) | +2% Weapon Damage, +5 Shunpo Stamina |
| B | Hitsugaya (9%) | +3 Reiatsu, +2.5% Kido Defense |
| B | Abarai (30%) | +8 Health, +3% Posture Regen |
| C | Madarame (60%) | +5 Equipment Load |

day1 into the box, and press Enter. The launch code grants 3x Clan Reroll plus a Token Booster and a Focus Elixir.Best Hollow Traits and how they work
Hollow Traits are visible mutations you collect while progressing as a Hollow, and they only activate once you become an Arrancar and enter Resurrección. You earn them by defeating other Hollows, with a chance to drop a trait each time, and you can refuse any trait you do not want.
Slots are tied to your stage, so rushing into Arrancar too early locks you into fewer bonuses. Traits become permanent once you evolve into a Vastocar, so collect the ones you want before that point.
| Stage | Trait slots |
|---|---|
| Menoscar | 2 |
| Adjuchas / Adjuchar | 3 |
| Vasto Lorde / Vastocar | 4 |
Iron Skin is the safest all-round pick because it raises melee defense and posture regen with no real downside. Tailbone is the choice for Cero builds, Deadly Claws for Hakuda fighters, and Innocuous Presence for stealth-heavy PvP play.
| Tier | Trait | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| S | Iron Skin | +4% Melee Defense, +35% Posture Regen |
| S | Wings | +3% Movement Speed, +5% Shunpo Stamina, +3% Shunpo Speed |
| S | Deadly Claws | +3% Hakuda Damage, +0.1 Max AP |
| S | Tailbone | +20% Cero damage, Cero is 25% thinner |
| S | Innocuous Presence | Hidden name and reiatsu, +20s Resurrección, +5% Movement Speed |
| A | Skinny | +7.5% Movement Speed, -1.2% Melee Defense |
| A | Dense Muscles | +1% Weapon Damage, +1% Hakuda Damage, +45s Resurrección |
| A | Tentacles | 16% poison chance on melee, -1% Weapon Damage |
| A | Giant | +5% Melee Defense, +2% Kido Defense, 5% slower |
| B | Back Scales | Cero charges 12% faster, +45s Resurrección, -5% Cero damage |
| B | Energized | +2% Kido Damage, Weapon damage scales off Kido |
| B | Exoskeleton | +2% Melee Defense, +5 Posture, 15% bigger heal, -2% Movement Speed |
| C | Horns | +35% Cero width, +10% Cero length |
Skill trees ranked and best build pairings
Skill trees decide how your character actually performs in a fight, while your race only sets which abilities you can reach. Hakuda dominates close-range combat with grabs, combo extensions, and finishers, and Speed earns a spot in almost every build because mobility is so strong.
| Tier | Skill tree |
|---|---|
| S | Hakuda, Speed |
| A | Quincy, Strength, Shinigami |
| B | Hollow / Arrancar, Sense |
| C | Misc |
If you are not sure where to start, Speed is rarely a wrong choice. From there, pair your offensive tree with it based on playstyle.
| Build | Recommended trees |
|---|---|
| Hakuda | Hakuda + Speed |
| Weapon | Strength + Speed |
| Kido | Shinigami + Speed |
| Quincy | Quincy + Speed |
| Arrancar | Hollow + Speed |
| PvP | Hakuda + Speed |
| Beginner | Strength + Speed |
Best Spirit Charms
Spirit Charms add unique effects that plain stats can never match, and the best ones can swing entire fights. A Song of Fire and Thunder tops the list by empowering both melee and Kido while unlocking Scorch and Electroshock. Shonen Syndrome temporarily upgrades a chosen move, and Soul Snatcher executes enemies below 11% HP for caster builds.
| Tier | Spirit Charms |
|---|---|
| S | A Song of Fire and Thunder, Shonen Syndrome, Heavenly Restriction, Soul Snatcher, Raid Boss |
| A | Adrenaline Junkie, Blazing Spirit, Struggler’s Spirit, Undying Soul, Ultimate Sacrifice |
| B | Curtain Call, Haze of Death, Await The Opening, Wraith’s Spirit, Golem |
| C | Critical Blows, Ranged Warrior, Indomitable, Flashmaster, Defensive Regen |
| D | Factotum’s Spirit, Frugal, Silent Shadows, Side Character, Giant Fighter |
Best Elements and equipment modifiers
Elements anchor most endgame builds and often decide your strongest abilities. Senbonzakura leads for Soul Reapers, The Superstar is the premier Quincy Schrift, and Los Lobos is the dream Arrancar roll for burst and ranged pressure.
| Tier | Elements |
|---|---|
| S | Senbonzakura, The Superstar, Los Lobos, The Necromancer |
| A | Shark, The Heat, Flame, Ink |
| B | Fury, Waypoint, The Dimensional, Luminosity |
| C | Electro, Ice, The Thunderbolt |
| D | Frozen Haze, Reversal, The Blademaster |
Equipment modifiers are the easiest stat gains around, and they can be rerolled with Soul Tokens. Celestial is the best across the board, boosting Reiatsu, Health, both defenses, and posture regen. Deadly adds +5% Weapon Damage, and Precise adds +5% Kido Damage for caster builds.
| Tier | Equipment modifiers |
|---|---|
| S | Celestial, Deadly, Precise |
| A | Menacing, Voluminous, Swift |
| B | Sturdy, Quick, Tireless, Steadfast |
| C | Vibrant, Ghostly, Spacious |
The pattern behind every strong build is the same. Stack one main damage type with a useful secondary stat like mobility or Reiatsu, then back it up with a trait, charm, and element that reinforce that direction. Chase raw damage clans if you want pressure, or lean on posture, health, and defense if you want safer trades, and let Speed glue the whole thing together.
