The best Shikai, Schrift and Resurrections in VV Ultimatum, similar to Type Soul, aren’t only the Legendary ones. There’s some really strong Uncommons and Rares, especially with upgrades and variants. Here’s my complete VV Ultimatum tier list for Shinigami Shikai, Quincy Schrifts and Hollow Resurrections.

VV Ultimatum Shinigami Shikai Tier List

https://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15

Image by Destructoid The best Shinigami Shikai ability in VV Ultimate is Ice for straight PVP and Sengonzakura for both PVP and PVE due to its mode. The A-Tier has good alternatives for damage, the B-Tier has Shikai that require more setup but are still good and the C-Tier is for weaker abilities. Let’s dive into the individual ranking reasons.

S-Tier Shikai

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Senbonzakura
Legendary

• The most stacked and powercreeping Shikai in the game
• Senbonzakura has no Shikai variants but the moveset is full of move variants for mixing up combos and dealing great damage
• The M2 is an amazing combo extension and follow-up
• It gets even stronger in your mode with stronger M1s and your M2s being dash attacks
• Last but not least you get a powerful nuke finisher move for combo ending

Ice
Uncommon

• Massive combo potential with the freeze trail
• The clone is excellent utility too
• Plus, the Red Ice variant is really good if you want to set up slower moves since it increases freeze time

A-Tier Shikai

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Flame
Uncommon

• Quite impressive damage here but the first move is telegraphed and slow so it’s lower combo potential than Ice
• The dash strike is really good though for combo follow-ups and mobility
• Once you combine it with Strength/Speed you can output some excellent DPS in PVP and PVE
• The DoT variant isn’t worth it though

B-Tier Shikai

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Reversal
Common

• Reversal works well with Hakuda/Speed so it makes for a pretty good combo Shikai
• The clone is very telegraphed and obvious but that doesn’t stop you from pressuring your opponent and outputting decent damage
• It’s just not as much damage as Flame/Flower and not as combo-oppressive as Ice

Ink
Rare

• Ink deals decent damage but the problem is that the running move is very slow and telegraphed
• This makes it harder to use in PVP than other Shikais
• The dashing slash move is pretty good though
• I’m testing it some more and will rerank it if I figure out a good combo for it in other skill trees but for now it’s B-Tier

C-Tier Shikai

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Waypoint
Rare

• Not that strong since it lacks damage and combo potential
• Great mobility in combat but it doesn’t combo well with anything
• Useful for traversal but airwalk pretty much takes care of that

VV Ultimatum Quincy Schrift Tier List

Image by Destructoid The best Quincy Schrift is easily Superstar but it’s also one of the strongest movesets across all factions (You’ll see why below). There are some excellent alternatives in the A-Tier and B-Tiers with the B-Tier requiring more setup. The C-Tier Schrifts are decent but are overall weaker than the higher tiers. Here are my individual ranking reasons for all Schrifts ranked.

S-Tier Schrift

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Superstar
Legendary

• Superstar is easily the best Quincy Schrift and one of the best movesets overall in VV
• Super Fan is great for buffing the damage of all your moves and focus on the Popularity heal customization for defense
• The teleport kick and then your mode’s teleport punch deal massive damage and posture and are great for comboing with Hakuda
• Overall you have a ton of damage and heals with Superstar making it incredibly powerful

A-Tier Schrift

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Thunderbolt
Uncommon

• Excellent damage, AOE and range
• Blue Jets is amazing for making Electric Blitz faster for PVP
• The Dragon Thunder variant is great for PVE
• One of the best Schrifts in the game

B-Tier Schrift

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Necromancer
Rare

• Necromancer is either really strong or really bad so I put it in the middle tier
• It’s really strong with the variant where your summons freeze for setting up combos
• Plus if you get some good summons, lock them in with the first skill and close distance you can apply a ton of pressure
• The downside is that some summons are really bad, some are buggy, and your opponent can sometimes flashstep away to despawn your summon
• I’ve had varying success and it’s a really fun Schrift to use, but it can be a hit or miss

Heat
Rare

• Heat is more reliable than Necromancer but with a slightly lower potential
• Still, Heat can deal some great damage if you know how to combo the moves well
• It’s just less damage than Thunderbolt and less combo potential than Superstar
• As for the drain variant, draining Rei isn’t as OP as in Type Soul but it’s still pretty good for PVP in VV

C-Tier Schrift

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Dimensional
Uncommon

• Dimensional has a lot of defensive mobility
• That said it’s not as strong in PVP and PVE as other Schrifts
• I wouldn’t take the Variant since Tear the Skies is your main damage unless you’re only using Dimensional for mobility with portals on a Speed/Hakuda build

Blademaster
Common

• Quite a decent Schrift for beginners
• It just doesn’t deal as much damage as the higher-tiers or has a smaller hitbox so the moves are harder to hit

VV Ultimatum Hollow Resurrection Tier List

Image by Destructoid The best Resurrection in VV Ultimate for Hollow players depends on playstyle. Los Lobos is great if you want to go for a Kido build and Luminosity is for overal combos with Hakuda, Speed and sometimes Strength. If you don’t like how these two play, the A-Tier has some great alternatives that aren’t as dependent on a specific build. Let’s dive into the rankings.

Tip: Combine these Resurrection rankings with my Hollow Traits tier list for the best build.

S-Tier Resurrections

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Los Lobos
Legendary

• There’s a ton of ranged damage and air combo potential here with the air launcher light attack follow-up
• Combine it with Kido for a ton of ranged damage and kiting potential
• It’s less flexibile in this way than other Legendaries since it doesn’t work well with Hakuda and sometimes Strength
• Still, the various firing modes, Cero Metralleta nukes and combos make Los Lobos one of the top 5 movesets in the game

Luminosity
Uncommon

• Luminosity combos really well with Hakuda and Speed for a ton of combo potential
• It’s very skill-based and relies on combos a lot but with practice it has the potential to be one of the best Hollow movesets
• Plus you get some ranged options for combo starters and finishing off lower HP enemies

A-Tier Resurrections

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Shark
Rare

• Shark has great moves overall for pure damage and combos
• It’s less move-stack-based than Fury but deals more damage
• The variant is also really good for even more damage

Fury
Rare

• Fury is a very skill-based moveset due to its combos
• With Elastic you can movestack a lot due to the pull
• The dash grab true combos into the Dragon uppercut
• Overall fits really well with other skill trees like Hakuda

B-Tier Resurrections

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Frozen Haze
Common

• Only good with a few upgrades and due to the AOE mute move
• It’s quite powerful but the moveset is heavily reliant on it
• That’s why I put it slightly lower than other Resurrections

C-Tier Resurrections

Ability

Ranking Breakdown

Electro
Uncommon

• Electro is decent but the overall damage and combo potential is lower than other Resurrections
• It also doesn’t have a single powerful move like Frozen Haze and its variants are just cosmetic
