Paradox Shikai Moves Tier List

S Tier Shikai Moves Moves

Gravity

Gravity Shikai moves have excellent mobility, allowing you to attack in short bursts while constantly moving. Plus, Gravity Pull has incredible range, making it almost impossible for enemies to run away from you. That makes Gravity arguably the best Shikai for PvP in Paradox.

Flower

Flower Shikai has an impressive combination of power and range. Petal Storm (C) lets you grab the opponent and drag them across the battlefield. The Sakura Slash (X) is a multi-hit move that deals significant damage in a small AoE. My favorite move is Blossom (Z), which has excellent damage and range but, more importantly, drags the opponent away from you.

Lightning

Lightning Shikai combines freedom of movement, great range, and AoE damage. If you’re a fan of movement skills, you’ll love Volt Dash (X), which also deals significant damage. Disaster Strike (Z) and Chaotic Bolt (C) knock opponents, and the former is also almost full AoE. Considering it’s a Rare Shikai (5% chance to get it), Lightning, without a shred of doubt, belongs in the S tier.

A Tier Shikai Moves

Blood

Blood Shikai offers an excellent combo potential if used correctly. Its moves combine knockbacks, throws, and ranged attacks, but the damage leaves much to be desired. Don’t get me wrong, the moves are amazing, but you need mobility moves and an appropriate build to maximize its potential.

Rampage

Rampage is among the best Shikai moves in Paradox in terms of AoE and mobility. Each move offers some type of AoE damage, making it ideal for fights against multiple opponents. Two of them are also dashes. But the lack of instant mobility and combo potential keeps Rampage out of the S tier. Also, its AoE animations are a bit misleading, as the ranges are not as great as they appear.

Wind

Wind Shikai has a very fast dash that lifts the opponent, allowing you to initiate a combo. The Gale Slashes (X) has a massive range and stuns multiple times as it hits. The Gust skill (C) shoots multiple projectiles in a cone shape, dealing good damage. Also, Wind is a common rarity Shikai, so if you’ve only got a few rerolls to spare, aim for this one.

B Tier Shikai Moves

Fire

Fire Shikai offers a solid range, and its moves stun enemies, allowing you to combo them. That said, the damage is fairly bad and moves lack mobility. It’s a close contestant for being the worst Shikai in Peroxide, together with Shadow.

C Tier Shikai Moves

Shadow

Shadow Shikai’s abilities hit multiple times, which will stun opponents but not as effectively as Fire. Also, the Shadow Clones (X) spawns shadows to attack the opponent, but it’s useless against non-melee. Overall, it’s the worst Shikai in the game.

Which is the best Shikai in Paradox?

Flower is the best Shikai in Paradox because its moves allow you to dominate the battlefield, especially in PvP. Each Flower skill is deadly, but Petal Storm (C) is a game-breaking ability that hits multiple times and pulls enemies simultaneously. Having said that, Lightning and Gravity are very close, so your definite Shikai choice may depend on a build and personal playstyle.

How to use Shikai in Paradox

To activate Shikai, draw your sword (E) and then press V so your character switches to the Shikai weapon. Use moves by pressing Z, X, and C (from left to right, as shown in the image above). Note that you can’t customize Shikai controls. If you run out of Reiatsu (the purple bar at the bottom, like mana in other games), your Shikai will be unequipped, and you’ll have to press V again to re-equip it.
