VV Ultimatum Hollow Trait Tier List [RELEASE]

This Hollow Traits guide is in two parts where the first part is the overall tier list for the general power of each trait. Then, we’ll dive into the best traits for individual builds since a specific trait can be weak for one build and strong for another. Here’s my VV Ultimatum Hollow Trait tier list and guide.

Then, the A-Tier has some great third and fourth-slot options. The B-Tier is for situational traits that can be a filler for you build and I wouldn’t use the C-Tier traits since they’re much weaker than the rest.

• Exoskeleton and Giant serve the same purpose as your second tanking trait after Iron Skin
• They’re not a must-have but an extra defensive option if you need it (Don’t take all three)

+2% Melee Defense
+5 Posture
15% Bigger healthpack from Resurrection

Hollow Trait
Ranking Breakdown
Effect
Horns

• Not worth over other Kido traits in the higher-tiers
Increased cero width of 35%
Increased cero length of 10%
Tentacles


Visual Change: Gain twin tentacles
• Overall, not as good as other damage traits since you’ll, on average, trigger it once in 6-7 hits which means those 5-6 hits that didn’t trigger it were with a damage debuff and the poison usually doesn’t make up for it DPS-wise
16% chance to inflict poison damage on melee attacks
-1% Weapon Damage
Innocuous Presence
• It’s great for avoiding PVP ganks but it’s not really a strong part of any build

How to Get and Change Hollow Traits
Hollow Traits are part of the Hollow progression and you can get them as a Gillian, Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde by eating dead hollows. All traits can be dropped by any hollow. You can refuse a trait if you don’t want it (Check the tier list and builds above for the ones you need). You cannot gain traits as an Arrancar. After evolving to Arrancar, Hollow Traits will only be active during your Resurrection mode. The amount of traits you can have depends on your current stage:

  • Base: 2 Traits
  • Adjuchas: 3 Traits
  • Vasto Lorde: 4 Traits
