Type Soul Arrancar Partial Res Tier List: Dominating the Early Game

The Partial Res, once a stepping stone, now defines the early to mid-game power for Arrancar and Hollow players. With the reduction to a single Partial move slot and the introduction of the Cero Oscuras cooldown reset mechanic, selecting the right move to build around has never been more critical. Our rankings focus on those Partial Resurrections that offer the best foundation for a robust and adaptable build.

Remember, the goal is to leverage your chosen move to control the pace of the battle, secure crucial openings, and transition seamlessly into your Full Resurrection or Segunda Etapa. Here’s our breakdown:

S-Tier Partial Res: The Meta-Defining Choices

These Partial Resurrections are powerhouses, capable of dominating matches with their versatility, raw power, and strategic advantages. They often feature true combo potential, oppressive movesets, and the ability to exploit current meta trends.

Vampire (Legendary): The Reiatsu Drain King

The Vampire partial resurrection has surged to the top thanks to its unparalleled ability to drain Reiatsu. In a meta where Reiatsu regeneration is limited, the X move is a game-changer, stealing both health and Reiatsu, severely limiting your opponent’s options. C also provides HP steal and antiheal upon a successful M1 connection. Z is also a potent combo extender that can lead into Time Cut and Fast Fang. The Vampire’s superior Reiatsu control makes it a terror in prolonged engagements.

Shark (Rare): The Ultimate Escape and Offense

The Shark’s X ability is a get-out-of-jail-free card. This move offers invaluable i-frames, allowing you to escape dangerous situations and initiate a guaranteed guardbreak hit. Z offers good combo when in close range. However, its trajectory can be inconsistent when used as a projectile. The C ability is strong. However, it can be countered.

Acid (Common): The Combo Enabler

Do not underestimate the Acid partial resurrection. Its Z move has an area of effect, is easy to hit, deals DOT damage, and true combos into strong moves like Cero Grab, Fast Fang, critical, or Rising Swallow. Its C move is a decent defensive ability that counters and produces a guardbreaking projectile. For a common resurrection, Acid is a versatile combo option with the Z move.

Light (Mythic): Versatile and Dominating

The Light partial resurrection remains a top tier pick. The Z move is a spamable poke and combo extender perfect for Kido builds. The X is a great mobility option to get closer to opponents. C deals great damage with guardbreak, works well with Hakuda. This resurrection is suitable for Kido, Kendo, and Hakuda.

Bone (Common): The AOE Interrupter

The Bone partial resurrection is a surprise contender with its accessible power and versatile moveset. The X ability combos when speed is applied. The C is an AOE attack that interrupts attacks and combos into Sonata Flow, Rising Swallow, and M1 attacks. It is powerful and easy to land. Its main draw is the C.

Phoenix (Rare): The Reiatsu Debuff Specialist

The Phoenix partial resurrection is another great pick with its ability to steal Reiatsu. The Z ability provides good stun and posture damage for combos like Fast Fang and jump crit. The C ability deals damage when you catch the opponent after flash stepping. This ability will guard break. However, you can be punished if you miss.

A-Tier Partial Res: Solid Choices with High Potential

Panthera (Rare): Dodging and Comboing Expert

The Panthera partial resurrection rewards precise timing and tactical movement. The X ability is best used to dodge and combo into fast melee abilities like Rising Swallow. The C is effective if your build lacks a projectile.
