Paradox Shikai Tier List – Roblox (October 2024)

As a Soul Reaper, you must be ready for everything thrown at you. Shikai will maximize your potential, but only if you know which one to choose. Our Roblox Paradox Shikai tier list will help you make the right move.

Paradox Tier List – Best Shikai Ranked

Most Paradox Shikai moves are very efficient if used correctly. But not all are equally good or easy to acquire. Shikai comes in different rarities: Common (89%), Rare (10%), and Legendary (1%). This Roblox Paradox tier list will help you learn which Shikai is worth rolling for. Redeem Paradox codes to get more Ability Rerolls.

S Tier Shikai

Gravity

Gravity Shikai moves have excellent mobility, allowing you to attack in short bursts while constantly moving. You’ll love the Gravity Pull move as it has an incredible range, making it almost impossible for enemies to run away from you. That makes Gravity arguably the best Shikai for PvP in the game.

Flower

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

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 while providing excellent damage and range. If that’s not enough, Z also has full AoE. Considering it’s a Rare Shikai (there is a 5% chance of getting this one), Lightning belongs in the S tier.

A Tier Shikai

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 their potential.

Rampage

Rampage is arguably the best AoE Shikai in Paradox. Each move offers some type of AoE damage, making it ideal for fights against multiple opponents. It has two movement skills and one melee, all dealing good damage. But the lack of instant mobility and combo potential keeps Rampage out of the S tier. Also, its AoE animation is a bit misleading, as the range is not as great as it appears.

Wind

Wind Shikai has a very fast dash that lifts the opponent, allowing you to initiate a combo. The Gale Slashes (X ability) 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. It’s worth mentioning that Wind is a Common Shikai, which means it’s fairly easy to obtain.

B Tier Shikai

Fire

Fire Shikai offers a solid range, and its moves stun enemies, allowing you to combo them. That said, the damage is terrible and moves lack mobility. This is easily the worst Shikai in the game.

Shadow

Shadow Shikai abilities deal multiple hits that can stun but not as effectively as Fire. On the other hand, it deals slightly better damage compared to its B tier companion. For example, the Shadow Clones ability (X) spawns shadows to attack the opponent, but it’s useless against non-melee.

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 move is deadly, but Petal Storm (C move) is a game-breaking move that deals multiple hits 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 abilities (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 turn off, and you’ll have to press V again.
