Much was expected from the latest Type Soul update, but the developers still managed to surprise fans with a new Shikai and one Mythical universal weapon. But what came as a surprise was a reworking of Soulreaper's melee attacks. Say goodbye to Hakuda weapons and welcome to new fighting styles!
The new approach to Reaper's melee attacks was unexpected but welcomed, as it will introduce new, interesting mechanics. The Formless fighting style was the first introduced, with more to come in the upcoming updates. While it may be challenging to acquire them, you'll now certainly have more reasons to play the game.
In addition to introducing fighting styles, the Type Soul update has added new Mythical Shikai/Bankai—Duality and Kyokasuigetsu. It's interesting to note that Duality has 11 moves, playing off the yin-yang dual-class gimmick. The new update also implements many nerfs and buffs, making Type Soul a more polished Roblox experience.
Interestingly, Arrogante partial res got nerfed as it was too dominant. Arrogante cooldowns have increased substantially, making it much tougher to use special moves. Vizard was also nerfed, with the Rising Swallow skill taking the biggest hit. It now deals less damage, while its stun effect is reduced from .7 to .1. Reducing stun effect was a trend in this Type Soul update as the Wind Crown's stun effect is also significantly reduced from 2s to .8s.
With so many new special moves, weapons, and fighting styles, we're sure more balance changes are coming soon. One of the main candidates for future nerfs is the Yamato Mythical weapon, which seems too fast. As for the new Shikai/Bankai, it will take time and a more in-depth analysis of PvP battles to determine if Duality and Kyokasuigetsu require any changes (for good or bad).
