— Hollow Traits
Best Hollow Traits & Reset
JustKenshi's trait picks for Speed, Hakuda, and Cero builds — plus the Hogyoku crafting method to reroll your four Vastolorde traits.
// Guide Summary
Vastolorde/Vastocar get 4 Hollow Traits — choose carefully, you can sacrifice some for others. Must-have: Iron Skin on every build. Speed = Wings. Hakuda = Deadly Claws. Cero/Kido = Horns + Energized + Tailbone. Best all-around Hakuda Arrancar: Deadly Claws + Iron Skin + Back Scales + Dense Muscles. Reset traits: craft a Hogyoku from Hogyoku Shards — farm high-difficulty missions and Rift chests for shards.
How Hollow Traits Work
Hollow Traits are obtained by consuming other Hollows during progression. You keep traits as you evolve through stages. Vastolorde and Vastocar cap at four traits total.
Traits provide both stat bonuses and visual changes (wings, horns, spikes, scales). At Vastolorde, you choose from options and can sacrifice some traits to unlock others — plan your four slots before committing.
Traits directly affect your Resurrección — Back Scales extends Res duration plus Cero bonuses. Wrong trait choices are painful to fix without a Hogyoku reset.
Key Tips
- ▸Max 4 traits at Vastolorde/Vastocar
- ▸Traits persist through evolution
- ▸Visual changes: wings, horns, scales
- ▸Sacrifice system at Vastolorde selection
Best Traits By Build
Universal must-have: Iron Skin — required on every Arrancar build. For extra defense, pick Exoskeleton OR Iron Skin (not necessarily both — one is enough).
Speed build: Wings. Hakuda build: Deadly Claws. Cero/Kido build: Horns (Cero damage), Energized (full Cero spam), Tailbone (Cero boost).
Back Scales: extends Resurrección length plus Cero bonuses — strong on any Cero-focused build. Giant adds more defense. Dense Muscles boosts melee.
JustKenshi's best all-around recommendation for Hakuda Arrancar: Deadly Claws + Iron Skin + Back Scales + Dense Muscles. He considers Hakuda the overall best Arrancar playstyle.
Key Tips
- ▸Iron Skin = mandatory every build
- ▸Wings / Deadly Claws / Horns by build type
- ▸Back Scales = longer Res + Cero
- ▸Hakuda 4-trait package = best all-around
How To Reset Hollow Traits
To reroll traits, craft a Hogyoku. Hogyoku Shards drop from mission chests — higher difficulty missions give better shard rates. Rift chests have the highest drop chance.
Farm high-difficulty missions specifically for Hogyoku Shards. Once crafted, use the Hogyoku from your inventory — reset options appear in the trait selection UI.
The bottom-right UI shows the Hogyoku reset option when available. Trait resets are not free or cheap — farm shards before making your initial four picks if possible.

Key Tips
- ▸Hard missions = better shard rates

- ▸Plan traits before needing reset
- ▸Hogyoku = only trait reroll method
