New Type Soul Update Revamps Sword Quests: Patch Notes, Bosses, and Rewards
By David Miller
The revised spirit encounters feature advanced enemy tracking. Shikai and Bankai entities read aggressive spam inputs and counter with unblockable posture breaks. The old tactic of standing on building edges to exploit AI pathfinding is completely gone. Spirits now use flash steps to close distance, unleashing vertical shockwaves against out-of-reach players.
Reliable combat relies on patient defense. Inner spirits cycle through distinct recovery windows after completing three-hit sequences or heavy elemental strikes. Deflecting the third strike reliably triggers a brief posture stun, opening up high-damage combo rotations. Players running Kendo setups should prioritize posture damage through heavy strikes, breaking the spirit's defensive stance before executing full skill rotations.
Speed-focused players must leverage diagonal evasive dashes. Instead of dodging backward into the path of sweeping area-of-effect spells, dodge diagonally forward through incoming swings to land behind the boss. This cuts down incoming chip damage and puts you in prime position to deal steady critical strikes.
