Beginner Progression Guide

The tutorial in the blue training area teaches core mechanics you won't find in other Roblox games. Pay close attention — VV: ULTIMATUM has multiple block types and attack patterns.

When you see a red indicator, press F to parry. Yellow indicators require a dash dodge. Large AoE circles on the ground mean you must dash out of the area entirely.

After the tutorial, you face a very difficult first boss. On your first playthrough it can take 1-2 hours to beat.

Captinttb recommends skipping it so you can start leveling immediately. However, fighting it helps you learn the combat system if you're willing to invest the time.

After the boss, you choose your permanent faction: Quincy, Soul Reaper (Shinigami), or Hollow. This choice cannot be changed.

Soul Reapers and Quincy can pick Innate stats at creation — a positive and negative modifier on specific stats. Hollows cannot choose Innate until becoming an Arrancar or Vastocar.

Plan your build before selecting: Kido builds want +Reserves, PvP Hakuda builds want different allocations. A bad negative can cripple your build (e.g. negative Metal = posture breaks much faster).

You spawn at Fort Adams. Take the necklace quest first, then press U to open world teleport and go to Soul Society Outskirts.

The necklace is behind a building in Soul Society. Complete this for every race, return to Fort Adams to turn it in, then head back to Soul Society to begin real progression.

Soul Reapers and Quincys: press C and start your first quest, then loop quests continuously. Hollows: you start as a Fishbone and must evolve Fishbone → Menos → Adjuchas → Vastocar before full quest progression.

Hollow players begin as a Fishbone and cannot access the standard quest loop until evolving through the Hollow chain.

Progression: Fishbone → Menos → Adjuchas → Vastocar. At Vastocar you unlock full quest progression and can eventually pick Innate stats.

At level 25, Hollows begin meditating for Resurrección progression (covered in race-specific guides).

Press Tab to open the main character panel — the most important UI in the game.

Spirit Charms are trait-like passives with tier ratings (T1, T2, etc.) — e.g. +7.5% critical damage, or spawning dragonfly Hollows on crit.

Accessories slot shows equipped gear. Stats panel tracks your character stats (grow with level). Inventory stores items — bottom-left shows equipment load capacity.

Critical warning: when you die, you can randomly lose items from your inventory. Use the Bank Remote (obtained in Muziki Sato area) to store valuables safely.

The quest log shows all active quests. Captinttb notes 14+ hours of quest content even without Resurrección unlocked — prepare for a long grind.

Press M to open skill trees. Five main trees: Race Moves (Kido), Miscellaneous, Speed, Strength (Kendo), and Hakuda.

Hakuda is considered the most broken tree for PvP — highly recommended if you enjoy player combat.

You spend Skill Points and Attribute Points to unlock nodes. Each node shows requirements (e.g. 5 skill points + 82 Kido). Hover nodes to see preview videos of each move.

Innate stats are increased by manually using related moves: use Kido skills to raise Kido stat, dash to raise Shunpo, block to raise Metal, etc. Stat points can also be allocated directly.

You can switch to Ascension Fragments as an alternative currency for some nodes.

Parry when the enemy attack is coming down — not delayed like Type Soul. The timing window is more immediate.

Practice on Hollows in Soul Society. Even experienced players need time to adjust to VV's combat feel.

Press C to find quests and enemies in each area. Explore different zones for varied mob types.

Mission tickets appear as yellow markers (top-left HUD). Accept missions, complete objectives, and receive a chest reward at the end.

Request promotions to unlock higher mission classes. For Hollows in Los Noches, the low-class medium Menos mission is the easiest — Menos are simple to kill.

In Los Noches (Hollow homeworld via U), press C for local quests. There's also a clothing shop to customize appearance.

Homeworld varies by race: Hollows get Las Noches, Quincy and Soul Reaper have their own areas via U teleport.

This guide covers levels 1-25. At level 25, all races unlock power progression: Soul Reapers meditate for Shikai, Quincy for Schrift, Hollows for Resurrección.

The three biggest rules for the starter phase: press C and take every quest, play with friends, and invest your stat/skill points thoughtfully.
