Complete Beginner’s Guide for Paradox [Release] – Roblox

RPG experiences are known to be extremely difficult for new players to pick up. That’s mostly due to the lack of tutorials and pointers from the game on what you should do. So, to help you with your first steps, here is our complete beginner’s guide for the Paradox Roblox experience.

Character Creation in Paradox

In Paradox, you start with only one character slot, and you can get more by using codes or by paying 100 Robux for each extra slot. There are three races you can pick: Soul Reaper, Quincy, and Arrancar. Each has a different progression and different end-game builds. Choose which you pick wisely, as changing race isn’t possible without wiping your slot.

Basic Controls in Paradox

How to Redeem Codes in Paradox

Codes are the best source of Rerolls, and some other items in Paradox. To redeem them, click on Settings in the top left and then Switch to the Code tab. Type or copy-paste the code into the input field and click Redeem Code to claim it. Codes for Paradox are case-sensitive and always full lowercase.

Soul Reaper Progression in Paradox

Soul Reaper progression is fairly straightforward early on in Paradox. The first thing you should do is press “,” on your keyboard to see all NPC locations. Then, head to the Division Trainer to start doing missions. In general, Scavenger Hunt (click on pink squares) and Find The Impostor (just kill all defenseless NPCs) are the easiest.

When you reach 75 potential, you’ll have to take a Soul Reaper exam. To find the exam place, head all the way to the right side of Soul Society relative to the giant stairs in the middle. Once there, enter the yellow house and head to the last classroom on the left. Sit down to start taking the test and click these answers:

• How many captains are in the Gotei 13: 13
• What is the first evolution of a zanpakuto: Shikai
• What is ‘Zangetsu’: A Zanpakuto Spirit
• What is the primary duty of the Soul Reapers: Protect the living world from Hollows
• Where do the Soul Reapers live: Soul Society
• Who is the creator of the Hogyoku: Kisuke
• What is the name of the game that you are playing: Paradox
• What is 1 + 1: 2

After you finish the test, spam more missions until you get a prompt to fight Kisuke. For this fight, you’ll have to head to Katakura Town (KT) by using the Gate skill (press the key above Tab to open your backpack). Once you’ve defeated Kisuke, continue doing missions until you reach the next potential breakpoint.

The last part will require you to meditate a few times (press N) within Soul Society. The first meditation will prompt an Osu-like game where you have to click 1-2-3-4 on your keyboard as the numbers appear on your screen. The second meditation will prompt an Osu Mania-like game where you have to hit 1-2-3-4 as they reach the line at the bottom. The third and final meditation will prompt a fight with your Shikai, after which you’ll unlock your Shikai special moves.

Quincy Progression in Paradox

Qunicy progression in Paradox is much easier than that of Soul Reapers. The first part is the same as for Soul Reapers, as you just need to do missions. After you’ve reached the potential breakpoint, visit Digiki in Wandenreich to start the Schrift obtainment process.

The first task from Digiki is to spar with Giselle, who is to the left of Digiki. Her fight isn’t that hard, and using a bow (press V to switch to it) makes it trivial. After you defeat her, you’ll need to fight other Quincy to obtain The Piece of Order. The chance for any Quincy to drop it on death is 1 in 5.

The final step is to go back to Digiki and start the Schrift battles. There are a total of three battles where you fight your clone, and using the bow, like with Giselle, makes it extremely easy. After you’ve defeated your clones, you’ll unlock your Schrift.

Arrancar Progression in Paradox

Arrancar progression in Paradox is atrocious, and if it existed in medieval times, it would’ve been used as a torture tool. The first part isn’t hard and requires you to kill ~15 other Arrancar to go from Fishbone to Menos Grande. As Menos Grande, you need to continue killing Arrancar. There is no counter for this one, but around 25 seems to be enough. Use your critical (R) to laser them from range.

The real fun starts once you’ve gone from Menos Grande to an Adjuchas. Here, you’ll have to kill ~170 other Arrancar to become a Vasto Lorde. This process roughly takes about two hours if you’re alone and half of that if you’re doing it with more people. The only good thing is that you can flash-step as an Adjuchas.

Once you’ve become a Vasto Lorde, you’ll need to take off your mask by holding down Ctrl + K and become a Vastocar. Now, you can finally start taking missions at the Arrancar Hub near the castle in Hueco Mundo.

The next parts of the Arrancar progression are the Incomplete and Complete Resurrection. These take quite a bit of time, and we’ll create a separate guide for them after the release.

Should You Use Rerolls Right Away in Paradox?

Generally, there is no reason to hold back when using rerolls, especially when you can get so many through codes. However, if you’re playing on multiple slots, try to spread them out a bit so your other slots don’t get stuck with thrash attributes. You can transfer items between slots by storing them at the Bank NPC in Katakura Town.

Stats (Skill Trees) in Paradox Explained

There are four Stats (Skill Trees) in Paradox, and each has its own set of moves. By increasing a specific stat, you unlock moves that are tied to it, and they become possible choices when you use Skill Gems/Crystals/Cores.

If you already acquired all the moves you unlocked, using Skill Gems/Crystals/Cores will have no effect. So, save Cores (which give the most cards) for later, and use only Gems and Crystals early on.
