Shunko T1/T2

The questline unlocks the first tier of Shunko with a unique moveset for all three races. Once unlocked, open the Ability Tab and press Modes to select it. More advanced Shunko forms and progression are tied to Elements.

SR Kido reworks and changes

  • Okasen added.
  • Goryutenmetsu dragons now chase a target on cast, with new upgrade effects.
  • Gaki Rekko reworked with new upgrade effects and an alternate cast.
  • Heaven Culling-Sear reworked with new visuals; usable without an ult bar, and empowered at full ult bar.
  • The chant minigame “sweet spot” can no longer appear at the very start, and Goryutenmetsu, Sokatsui, Haien, Hainawa, and Rikujokoro chants no longer delay the cast.
  • Fixed Sai Level 7+ binding for its full duration at all times rather than only against the level 7 upgrade.

Vasto weapons

At level 40, Vasto Lordes receive a quest to consume other hollows. Finishing it grants access to new weapon types.


Weekly weekend event

Extra drop luck and EXP run from Friday 7pm UTC through Monday, and this now repeats every week.


Bestiary kill milestones

The bestiary now tracks kill milestones. Killing more of a given NPC provides buffs and better drop rates, including luck boosts, the ability to view that NPC’s drop rates, plus EXP gain, Soul Token gain, damage, and damage resistance.


Item shop rework

Each slot now sorts into categories — supplies, equipment, and special stock, which includes some boss drops. Items carry a stock count, so some can be bought in multiples and others only once, and RNG deal modifiers can lower prices. The shop is also fixed to work cross-server.


Org bases and build points

Org bases can be listed on the Server List to be joined at any time, with upvotes, downvotes, ratings, and filters added. Build points were changed and reset globally. With the karate meditation quest, meditating no longer sends you to your inner world, and resetting your Hakuda style lets you re-grab a style from the trainer if you completed its quest before.


General QOL

  • 1v1 matchmaking shows lifetime wins against an opponent plus the current set’s wins at a match’s end.
  • Hovering your name in the TAB menu shows your clan buffs.
  • Crafting now force-gives you items, and you can drop, sell, or deposit half of a selected stack.
  • Items dropped above your inventory limit can be picked back up.
  • The More Emotes gamepass now gives 12 slots instead of 8, and fewer players are needed to start a raid.
