How to obtain Hierro Plating in Type Soul

There are mainly three ways to acquire Hierro Plating in Type Soul:

  • Win a Raid
  • Buy from the Karakura Town Raid Vendor
  • Defeat Bawabawa in Hueco Mundo

Let me break down each method separately to help you grasp how Hierro Plating farming works and what obstacles I faced during my adventure.

Win a Raid

The first and easiest way to get Hierro Plating is to participate in a Raid. In Type Soul, there are two kinds of raids: Faction Raids and Karakura Town Raids. Faction Raids happen every 40 minutes according to the server time, which is shown on the top of the screen.

During my playthrough, I was able to join a raid at 00:40, 01:20, 02:00, etc. At the same time, Karakura Town Raids start at the beginning of each hour, such as 01:00, 02:00, 03:00, etc.

The raid pits players against each other in a race to defeat a boss. The winning team gets a chance to claim some valuable rewards, including Hierro Plating.

The second way to get Hierro Plating is to buy it from the Karakura Town Raid Vendor. The Vendor sells Hierro Plating for 40,000 Kan each, which is quite expensive but also guarantees you a piece of the material.

Defeat Bawabawa

Bawabawa is one of the major bosses in Type Soul that drops Hierro Plating when you defeat it. The boss follows a spawn cycle of 1.5 hours in the game. This means that it will appear at times like 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, and so on. So make sure to keep an eye on the server clock, similar to what I mentioned with the raid method.

How to use Hierro Plating in Type Soul

As I mentioned earlier, Hierro Plating is an item that is used to upgrade an Arrancar’s armor, also known as Hierro. The Hierro defense bonus goes up to 15% from 10% with one Hierro Plating. With a second Hierro Plating, the defense bonus climbs to 21% from 15%.

You can activate Hierro Plating by pressing the “U” key on your keyboard. It lasts for 10 hits at the base level.
