Taking inspiration from a popular anime and manga, Project Mugetsu is the perfect game to experience the battle between Soul Society and Hollow. If case you chose the former, you need to rely on Shikai to take down the soul-eating monsters. Here's a PM Shikai tier list, ranking all of them from best to worst.
Project Mugetsu Shikai Tier List - Best Abilities
I've sorted the various Shikai on the basis of their attacks and how easy it is to get them. Do note that this list is not final as everything comes down to your playstyle. Since some of these Shikai have only a 1% chance of being rolled, redeem these Project Mugetsu codes to bend the odds in your favor. Here's every Shikai in PM ranked:
| Tier | Shikai |
|---|---|
| S | Benihime, Ichimonji, Nozarashi |
| A | Minazuki, Senbonzakura |
| B | Kamishini, Ryujin Jakka |
| C | Hyorinmaru, Zangetsu |
S Tier - Best Shikai in PM
Ichimonji is without a doubt, the best Shikai in Project Mugetsu. It not only deals a great amount of damage but also has a passive that can inflict severe debuffs. These include Blind which blocks half of the enemies' screen, Ant which debuffs defense and increases cooldown time by 2x, Seal disables all skills and Blacken which makes enemies slower.
| Shikai | Rarity | Moves | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benihime | Legendary | Z - Nake - Sends two red slashes X - Gigai - Creates a clone and hides your character C - Chikasumi no Tate - Creates a shield that defends from M1 attacks and also sends out an AoE blast V - Benihime no Shigure - Creates a storm that strikes all enemies in range | + Great for 1v1 + Decent alternative for Ichimonji + End-game farming and PvP |
| Ichimonji | Legendary | Z - Paint it Black - Sends a slash that weakens the enemy and also slows them down X - Senri Tsuteno - Summons a scroll that blinds, weakens, increases cooldown, and disables all enemy skills C - Black Ant - Sends a slash and dashes towards the enemy also reduces their defenses and increases the cooldown by 2x V - Futne Taisatsuryo - Inflicts AoE damage by summoning a shrine and also applies a 10% overall debuff | + Perfect for multiple enemy combat + Only Shikai with a Passive that has a chance of applying four debuffs + Also gives a damage passive when Futne Taisatsuryo is used |
| Nozarashi | Legendary | Z - Cleave - Sends a giant slash X - Onslaught - Sends three slash and dashes forward with each one C - Meteor Crash - Launches your character in the air and dives onto the nearest enemy V - Ryodan - Sends a slash with a knockback | + OP when paired with Nozarashi Bankai + Good if you have a tank build - Does not give any defense |
Apart from this other Shikai in this tier are also great. If you are more interested in 1v1 combat I'd suggest sticking with Benihime. You can also go with Nozarashi as it also has a Bankai.
A Tier
Senbonzakura is a great Shikai for mid to late-game, as it offers versatile ranged moves, essentially allowing you to shoot opponents from a safe distance.
| Shikai | Rarity | Moves | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minazuki | Legendary | Z - Blood Edge - Sends a slash of blood X - Bloodlust - Dashes forwards while slashing around C - Infinite Death - Teleports to the enemy and stabs their neck V - Blood Clot - Ragdolls enemies after using Blood Edge or Bloodlust on them | + Infinite Death takes down the enemy in one attack + Blood Clot can be used to hit combo attacks |
| Senbonzakura | Rare | Z - Senbonzakura - Sends blade fragments toward enemies X - Vibrant Bloom - Sends Senbonzakura as projectiles C - Scattering Spiral - Turns into a pool of fragment spiral for a total of three seconds that ends with a slash V - Blossoming Petals - Starts a typhoon of Senbonzakura fragments that cause AoE Damage tha | + Great for mid-game combat + Blossoming Petals and Scattering Spiral can nullify blocks - Huge cooldown |
As for defeating quest bosses that rely on close combat, go with Minazuki since its movesets are some of the best in the game.
B Tier
These Shikai are great for early-game and can help a lot with progressing. I suggest sticking with Kamishini as it's great for long-range attacks and also packs great damage. This Shikai is handy for players still leveling up because its first move lasts so long that it can go through the opponent's block.
| Shikai | Rarity | Moves | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamishini | Rare | Z - Butorenjin - Rapid and Multiple attacks in a short time X - Senbujin - Slices in a circle causing AoE Damage C - Shunsogeki - Dashes forward while slicing V - Shoot 'em Dead - Launches a big and powerful thrust attack | + Good for early-game combat + Can use some attacks in combo to cause substantial damage - Most attacks can be blocked |
| Ryujin Jakka | Legendary | Z - Taimatsu - Sends a slash of fire that also burns enemies for five seconds X - Hitotsume Nadegiri - Grabs and stabs the enemy while inflicting burn them for five seconds C - Ennetsu Jigoku - Spawns pillars of fire that inflict damage V - Ryukin Jakka - Knocks back all enemies enemies within a range and also inflicts burn for 30 seconds | + Good for early to mid-game combat + Can nullify blocks - Not enough damage for a Legendary Shikai |
Ryujin Jakka was nerfed and hence is in the B tier despite being of Legendary rarity. Most veteran players don't recommend using it as it doesn't pack much damage but it can still be great for early to mid-game combat.
C Tier
Shikai in this tier are not worth the hassle and should be avoided unless you are just starting out. Despite being of low tier, they can help you familiarise yourself with using them in combat.
| Shikai | Rarity | Moves | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyorinmaru | Uncommon | Z - Ice Spikes - Summons large spikes of ice from the ground where mouse is pointed X - Ice traps - Sets traps of Ice Spikes that get activated when enemy touches them C - Ice Clone - Creates a clone of your character V - Ice Eruption - Hits the ground and freezes anyone within range | + Decent for early-game combat - Most attacks cannot break blocks - Ice Clone can be only used when stunned |
| Zangetsu | Common | Z - Engetsuzan - Dashses and launches enemy into the air and hits themwith a slash X - Getsuga Burts - Hits the ground and causes AoE damage C - Tenbu Renjin - Hits enemies rapidly V - Getsuga Tensho - Hits the enemy with a powerful slash of wave | + Easy to get - Not enough damage - Tenbu Renjin's damage is random - High cooldown times |
For example, you can use Hyorinmaru to set up spike traps at lower levels. In case you get caught in a combo you can also create your ice doppelganger to flee the scene. Similarly, Zangetsu could prove particularly useful early on in the game. The first few moves can even break a block while the higher-level ones with their AoE damage and the ability to nullify blocks can come in clutch.
