Unsure about which Shikai to unlock in Roblox Paradox? Don’t worry! I’ll guide you through the comprehensive Paradox Shikai tier list, ranking all the moves from best to worst to help you make a wise choice in-game.
Paradox Shikai Tier List
Shikai is the first level of a Soul Reaper’s weapon, known as a Zanpakuto, that undergoes a transformation to unlock unique abilities. In Roblox Paradox, there are currently eight different Shikai movesets/abilities, classified into various rarities. Below is a quick overview of their rankings:
- S-Tier: Flower, Gravity, Rampage
- A-Tier: Lightning, Blood
- B-Tier: Fire, Shadow
- C-Tier: Wind
S-Tier
- Flower: This legendary Shikai is the top choice in Paradox, offering a powerful combination of abilities. Its Blossom move is excellent for delaying an enemy attack by sending them away with a pink tornado. If you want to play aggressively, the Sakura Slash deals substantial damage in under two seconds.
- Gravity: Gravity is one of the most versatile and spam-friendly Shikais thanks to its quick attacks. The Gravity Control move allows you to thrust forward, grabbing your enemy and launching them into the air before slamming them down. Its Gravity Pull in close combat is highly effective, making it a game-changer in critical situations.
- Rampage: Rampage inflicts the highest damage of any Shikai. With three moves (Crusher, Rage, and Meteor Crash), each inflicts significant damage. The Rage attack is particularly useful for finishing off opponents quickly.
A-Tier
- Lightning: Lightning has a better drop rate than S-Tier Shikais, making it a solid choice for most players. This Shikai focuses on lightning-based attacks, known for delivering massive damage while being difficult for opponents to dodge.
- Blood: Blood is among the rarest and most deadly Shikais in Roblox Paradox, excelling in both damage and range. Its Ending move summons a blood dragon to attack foes, but its abilities can be countered by S-Tier moves.
B-Tier
- Fire: Fire is centered around fire abilities. While it’s suitable for beginners, I would not recommend it for high-level play due to its slower attack speed. Moves like Incineration and Whirl are quite slow, making them easy targets for counterattacks.
- Shadow: Shadow carries a significant risk in long-range combat. Its main move, Eclipse, is effective in close quarters but limited in range, which reduces its overall viability.
C-Tier
- Wind: Wind is the least recommended Shikai due to its lack of potency. While it can be used by beginners, it doesn’t pose a threat to players with superior Shikais, leading to an uphill battle against even average opponents.
How to Obtain Shikai in Paradox
To acquire Shikai, follow these steps:
- Earn 75 potential and take the Shinigami exam.
- Accumulate 200 potential and meditate to complete a minigame.
- Defeat the boss to finalize the Shikai acquisition.
How to Obtain 75 Potential and Take the Shinigami Exam
A great method to farm potential in Paradox is completing wave defense missions, which involve parrying and swiftly defeating NPCs. The slower pace of the game makes parrying manageable. If wave defense seems too challenging, you can also try the Transport the Buyer quest, which is easier as it does not involve combat. Simply escort the NPC to the designated area to gain potential.
Once you have 75 potential, locate the professor. From the trainer, head straight to the classroom and press ‘E’ to interact with the professor, who will administer the exam.
The answers are straightforward:
- 13
- Shikai
- A Zanpakuto Spirit
- Protect the living world from Hollows
- Soul Society
- Kisuke
- Paradox
- 2
Upon passing, your outfit will change to signify that you are now a Shinigami.
How to Meditate and Complete the Minigame in Paradox
After achieving 200 potential, initiate meditation by pressing ‘N.’ This will trigger a mini-game requiring you to press the corresponding numbers on your keyboard. The first stage is easy, but the second stage becomes slightly more challenging, needing you to press two numbers at once. You may need to retry a few times, but relax—skipping some parts is allowed, and you only need at least 40 points to pass.
How to Defeat the Boss and Unlock Shikai
Afterward, you’ll progress to Stage 3, entering a boss room. Follow the hallway to your spirit, interact with it, and a boss fight will commence. The boss frequently teleports, so I recommend equipping high-damage abilities like Dynamic Strike and Phantom Thrust to inflict heavy damage quickly. I managed to defeat the boss in under two minutes and less than 30 strikes.
Once you vanquish the boss, Shikai will be yours! To activate it, simply press ‘V’ on your keyboard.
