Paradox was an early candidate to dethrone Type Soul as the players' favorite Bleach-like Roblox experience. Unfortunatelly, just a couple of days after launch, the ga??me was taken down. Now, you're probably wonderin??g why Paradox is down and when it will return. Here's what we know.

Why is Roblox Paradox Offline?

You can't play Roblox Paradox, as the game is back in development. Many reasons forced developers to take down the game and return to work. While the game's launch regarding player count was promising, it was soon apparent that changes we?re necessary. Let's just mention a couple of reasons why you can't play Paradox at the moment:

• Performance issues: Players experienced significant lag and instability, especially those playing the game on phones and consoles.
• Limited content: The initial release offered only a few hours of gameplay, which gave players limited content that felt too short and repetitive. Players weren't happy with the game's current state, as Sour Reapers were incomplete, while Quincy was basically unplayable.
• Developer dissatisfaction: Developers weren't satisfied with the end result, acknowledging a need for further improvements. In the next development phase, they'll try to iron out technical issues and, more importantly, improve its lack of content.

How Long Will Paradox Be Offline?

There is no specific timetable for Paradox's relaunch, but developers have mentioned that it may take at least a few weeks. While they have yet to discuss the particular date, a "few weeks" would coincide with Roblox Halloween events and updates, which are essential for fans. Because ot that, it would be best for Paradox to return in the last week of October 2024. As soon as that happens, check our Paradox codes list for free rewards.

What to Expect From the Paradox Relaunch

The list of improvements for the Roblox Paradox re-release is long (see below), which makes you wonder why developers launched the game in its current stat?e in the first ??place.

• Completed Quincy and Dark Souls races and their missions.
• Implementation of Bankai and Volt
• Revamped combat
• Bugs and lags-free polished game
• Reworked console and mobile support
• New game modes
• Reworked skillsets
• More abilities

Although Parasox is down, learn more about the game to be prepared for new challenges. Check out Complete Beginner's Guide for Paradox and Paradox Clans List here on Destructoid.

With a game like Pa??radox, it can get confusing on which branch of skills and moves to focus on. So we're making it easier for you with our full Paradox stats guide that will list all moves in the game you can get.

What are Stats in Paradox?

In Paradox, Stats are essentially four skill trees which let you focus on specific move sets. There are a total of ?fo?ur branches which you can invest in:

• Hakuda
• Kido
• Speed
• Sword

Stats don't affect your damage, health and the similar. Instead they unlock moves (skills) usually every 5 points which you will use in battle. You can put in Stat points into multiple branches, though I suggest focusing five by five to unlock moves. You can't put points in both Hakuda and Sword. You will have to choose on?e or the other.

Speaking from experience as someone who spread out the stats across the branches at the start and then kept getting destroyed by both NPCs and players since I didn't have any moves. If you've done the same as I have, luckily Stat resets can be purchased from the store or obtained from codes. These will wipe your Stats back to zero, ?so use them wisely.

However, unlocking moves doesn't mean you will instantly have them. To get moves, you have to use Skill Gems, Cores, and Crystals. You can get them through completing missions and ?defeating bosses

• Skill Gem - Draws a deck of three cards from which you can pick one skill
• Skill Core - Draws a deck of five cards from which you can pick one skill.
• Skill Crystal - Draws a deck of five cards from which you can pick one skill.

How to increase Stats in Paradox

To increase Stats in Paradox, you have to level up. That means that you have to increase your Potential by completing missions and defeating bosses. Each time you level up, you will get three Stat points.

All Hakuda moves in Paradox

Hakuda moves focus on hand-to-hand combat, so don't be surprised when your sword disappears (I really c??hose this and then spent the next five minutes wondering where my sword went). If you want to have those fists of steel and prefer up close combat, then this is the stat branch f??or you.

All Kido moves in Paradox

Kido moves vary based on your race. So depending on which Paradox race you chose, you will be able to unlock five Kido moves. As a Quincy, I've definitely put in Stat points into the Kido branch for some great bow and arrow moves, but? I think whichever race you choose, at least five or 10 stat points in Kido are worth i??t at the start.

All Speed moves in Paradox

For me, Speed is an essential skill branch in Paradox. It doesn't have to be your primary focus, but when you see everyone teleporting and rushing around you, you'll want to put in a bunch of stat? points here. The faster you move, the deadlier you are.

All Sword moves in Paradox

The Sword branch is, pretty self explanatory, for people who prefer to use a sword as their weapon. While one of my slots is Haku??da, the other one is focused on Sword moves.

If you want ??to follow in Ich?igo's footsteps, then a sword is the way to go, and I think if you are just starting the game, it will be easier to get a grasp on.

If you now know which Stats you are picking, you can also go ahead and check which Shikai to go for with our Paradox Shikai Tier List here on Destructoid.

Paradox is a very newb-friendly game, but finding out how to obtain certain items or how to use them can often be difficult. That's where we come in. Scroll down for our in-depth item list and guide for the Paradox Roblox experience.

Complete Paradox Item List

How to Store Items in Paradox

You can store items in Paradox at the Bank NPC, which is located in Karakura Town. Once you do that, you'll be able to access those items from your other character slots. Doing this will help you immensely accelerate your?? progress on different ?slots.

How to Get More Items in Paradox Easily

The best way to get plenty of items in Paradox is to spam Boss Raids. You can start these solo or with a party by talking with Jinha (NPC), who is available in every realm. You can also just wait for random world boss spaw?ns, but that is simply too inefficient.

Can You Trade Items in Paradox?

Unfortunately, there is still no way to trade items in Paradox. However, a lot of people are asking for such a feature on the Paradox Discord server. So, there is a high chance that it will be added in one of the post-release update??s.

Well, that does it for our item guide for Paradox. To find more guides related to this experience, visit the Paradox section on our website.

Rerolling your Shikai/Res/Schrift as soon as you get a few Ability rerolls is very tempting. However, if you don't know what they do, you won't know when to stop. To help you with that, here is the complete list of all Shikai, Resurrection (Res), and Schrift moves in Paradox Roblox.

Paradox Roblox Shikai Moves List

Below is the list of all Shikai moves in Paradox. The damage numbers are bound to change as the game gets rebalancing updates, and we'll try to update this post with the most up-to-date data often. To learn which Shikai are best, check out our Paradox Shikai tier list. Also, check out our Soul Reaper progression guide to learn how to acquire one.

Paradox Roblox Resurrection Moves List

Here is the list of all Resurrection (Res) moves in Paradox. You'll obtain one as part of the Arrancar progression, which is by far the most complex of all race progressions in the game. Also, if you're having trouble playing as a Hollow, check out our beginner's guide for Paradox for helpful tips.

Paradox Roblox Schrift Moves List

Quincy's have the best ranged skills in the game, and the Schrifts you can unlock provide a bunch of them. In the table below, you'll find the list of all Schrift moves in Paradox, including descriptions of each of their skills.

How to Use Shikai/Res/Schrift Skills in Paradox

To use your Shikai/Res/Schrift skills in Paradox, first you'll need to pull out your sword (E) and then switch to your special (V). Then, use Z, X, and C to activate your skills. Keybinds for these moves can't be changed.

How to Change Your Shikai/Res/Schrift Moves in Paradox

Each slot you create in Paradox will have a random Shikai/Res/Schrift (depending on race) assigned to them. Now, the only way to change what you have by default is to use an Ability Reroll. The easiest ways to get these are by doing Boss Raids and Eternal Flame Trials, and redeeming Paradox codes.

That does it for our list of Shikai, Res, and Schrift moves in the Paradox Roblox experience. To find more guides about this Bleach-inspired title, visit the Paradox section here on Destructoid.

The post Complete List of Shikai, Res, and S??chrift Move?s in Paradox Roblox appeared first on Destructoid.

In the new Bleach-inspired Roblox game Paradox, you choose from three different Races each with their own different progression paths and evolutions. As you progress through various evolutions, others get locked out, making it important that you pre-plan and pick the right race. We've put together this Paradox? Race Tier List so you know right from character creation what to work towards.

Paradox Race Tier List for all Unlocks and Evolutions (Launch Version)

All three races in Paradox have unique evolution paths, with ultimate pinnacle evolutions. Keep in mind, you cannot change your race once selected. These are typically the strongest options in Paradox (and are therefore in S Tier). Those in the A Tier are solid options to go into if you don't want to put in the grind for the S Tier evolutions. Those in the B Tier are typically the base versions of each Race, while those in the C Tier are reserved for the two side evolutions for Hollow. You won't stay as these evolutions for long, as they are very weak, but are intended as a challenge before evolving into the next variation. Here is our Paradox Race Tier Lis??t for every form of evolution and unlock for all of the Races at the time of launch:

S Tier

• Ressurection Arrancar (Hollow Evolution)
• Schrift Quincy (Quincy Unlock)
• Vizard (Shinigami Unlock)

A Tier

• Arrancar (Hollow Evolution)
• Shikai (Shinigami Unlock)
• Quincy (Base Quincy)

B Tier

• Adjuchas (Hollow Evolution)
• Soul Reaper (Base Shinigami)
• Vasto Lorde (Hollow Evolution)

C Tier

• Fishbone (Hollow Evolution)
• Menos (Hollow Evolution)

As you can see, Soul Reaper, Hollow, and Quincy all have an unlock or evolution that makes them S Tier. In Paradox, you can typically choose which of the three races' pla?ystyle caters to you the most, then focus on their?? S tier unlock or evolution as you progress through the game while getting strong along the way.

Okay, you've created your character and chosen Shinigami as your race. Now, what do you do? We'll explain everything in this complete Soul Reaper progression guide for the Paradox Roblox experience. Scroll down, and let's get started??, ??shall we?

Start to Shinigami Exam Progression in Paradox

The progression as a Shinigami (Soul Reaper) is simple early on in Paradox. First, click ��on your keyboard to see all NPC locations on your screen. Head to the Division Trainer so you can start doing some missions. Scavenger Hunt and Find The Impostor are the easiest, while Chase and Exterminate are the best EXP-wise. For in-depth mission explanations, check out our Paradox missions guide.

After you've completed around ten missions, you'll reach 75 potential, at which point you'll need to take a Soul Reaper exam. The exam takes place with the Professor, who is all the way to the right side of Soul Society relative to the? giant stairs in the middle. Once you find the yellow house where the Professor is, go in and into the last classroom on the left. Sit down to start the exam.

Soul Reaper Exam Test Answers

• How many captains are in the Gotei 13?: 13
• What is the first evolution of a zanpakuto?: Shikai
• What is ‘Zangetsuâ€?: 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

Soul Reaper Exam to Shikai Progression in Paradox

After you finish the Soul Reaper (Shinigami) exam in Paradox, the next step is to start the progression towards your Shikai. Same as before, you'll be spamming missions. At one point, you'll get a task to fight Kisuke, who is located in Katakura Town (KT).

You can reach Karakura Town by using the Gate skill (it's in your inventory, which you open by pressing the key above Tab on your keyboard). After you defeat Kisuke, keep completing missions until you reach the next progression stage.

First Shikai Progression Stage

After a few dozen more missions, you'll finally be ready to get your Shikai. The first stage is an Osu-like minigame. To start it, start meditating by pressing N on your keyboard. You have to be within Soul Society to do this. The minigame only requires you to click 1-2-3-4 on you??r keyboard in the same order as they ??appear on your screen.

Second Shikai Progression Stage

After you're done with the first minigame, it's time for the second. Meditate again to start it. This one is more like Osu Mania, which requires you to click numbers (1-2-3-4) as circles fall into them from the top of the screen.

Final Shikai Progression Stage

After you've completed both minigames, it's time for you to challenge your Shikai. Meditate again to enter the arena. The Shikai is as strong as you, though it's not very smart with its skill usage. Note that you can easily glitch out and go under the ground or out of the map during this fight. So, try to use ranged moves as much as possible. Once you defeat your Shika?i, yo??u'll unlock the special move set and be ready to move to the next stage.

Shikai to Vizard Progression in Paradox

First Vizard Progression Stage

Once you've obtained your Shikai, it's time you start working on the final part of the Soul Reaper (Shinigami) progression in Paradox: obtaining Vizard. The first step is to reach 350 potential, which, again, you'll have to do missions for. After that, visit Cody, who is in the central area of Soul Society.

Cody will task you with acquiring a Mask Remnant, which is a 3% chance drop from Eternal Flame Trials. These trials constitute ten waves of enemies, and you can choose modifiers to increase loot. You can see the Eternal Flame location in Soul Society w??hen you t??oggle NPC visibility.

Second Vizard Progression Stage

The second stage of the Vizard Progression is a combination of the minigames from the first and second stages of Shikai progression. The only difference is that the numbers in disapp?ear much faster this time, and you'll need good reflexes to finish them both.

Final Vizard Progression Stage

The final part of the Vizard Soul Reaper progression in Paradox is to get 30 Shinigami grips, 20 Ranked wins, and 1 Eternal Flame Trial completion. The only way to make this process faster is to get Shinigami grips on your friends or completely new players. You'll have to do other stuff the hard way. Return to Cody once you're done with all the tasks to obtain your Vizard.

There are many items you'll be using as you progress in Paradox, but the usefulness of some is really not that obvious. But we've got the info you need. Scroll down to learn how to use it and get more of Whispering Willow in the Paradox Roblox experience.

How to Use Whispering Willow in Paradox

To use the Whispering Willow in Paradox, you'll have to visit Inori, the NPC standing just outside the area where the Division Trainer resides. If you have a Whispering Willow in your inventory, you'll h??ave the option to turn in one to her, along with 1,000 Yen.

If you don't have 1,000 Yen on you or no more Whispering Willows in your inventory, Inori will tell you that you're too broke and that they can't help you. Also, banking or using the Whispering Willow from your inventory is impossible.

What Does Whispering Willow Do in Paradox?

Whispering Willow is an item in Paradox that lets you acquire a new Talent. Depending on how many Talents you've yet to unlock, using it will give you anywhere between five and one Talents to choose from. There are three rarities: common (gray), rare (blue), and legendary (gold). Gene??rally, picking whichever talent is the rarest is the best.

Once you've acquired a Talent, open the menu by clicking M on your keyboard and select Talents on the top left. Drag and drop the Talents you want to equip into the three designated slots on the right. If you ex?perience glitches while switching out Talents, close and reopen the Talents menu to fix them.

How to Get Whispering Willow in Paradox Roblox

The only way to get a Whispering Willow in Paradox is by increasing your potential, or in simple terms, by gaining EXP and leveling up. The rate at which you gain Whispering Willows is tied to the number of Talents currently in the game, and you will obtain all of them roughly by the time you unlock your Shikai. After you have all the Talents, redeeming Whispering Willows at Inori will score you nothing but a 1,000-Yen lighter wallet.

I'm sure all that info will help you out a lot on your Paradox journey. To find more content regarding this Roblox experience, including our beginner's guide and list of codes, check out the Paradox section here on Destructoid.

It can be hard being a newbie in Soul Society, and the only way to change that is to become stronger. To help you in your early progression, here is a complete list of Soul Reaper missions in the Paradox Roblox experience, including instructions on how to solve them quickly.

How to Start Missions as a Soul Reaper in Paradox

To start a mission as a Soul Reaper in Paradox, you'll need to reach the Division Trainer NPC. He is close to the center of Soul Society, in the garden just left of the giant stairs. Press "," on your keyboard to enable NPC labels on your screen and make find??ing h??im easier.

Once you reach the Division Trainer, talk to him, select a mission from the list, and then press Make Active to queue for the?? mission. If a lot of people are doing the same mi??ssion at once, you'll have to wait a bit.

Soul Reaper Mission Rewards in Paradox Roblox

How to Solve All Soul Reaper Missions in Paradox

How to Solve Takedown Assault Missions

Takedown Assault requires you to kill two Soul Reapers. They usually spawn far away from each other, so killing them one by one shouldn't be a problem. However, sometimes empowered reapers appear, making the mission extremely difficult if you're a beginner.

How to Solve Transport The Buyer Missions

Transport The Buyer is by far the most tedious mission in Paradox. You have to go in front of the NPC and lead him to the checkpoint. However, anyone can k??ill the NPC and prevent you from finishing the mission. So, you have to defend him from potentially much stronger reapers, which is so?metimes simply impossible.

How to Solve Apprehend Pirate Missions

Apprehend Pirate might seem tedious because you'll have to carry a person. However, by constantly dashing with Q (don't flash-step ?because it's slower), you can finish the second part of it fairly quickly. Note that any damage you take will make you drop the pirate to the ground.

How to Solve Find the Imposter Missions

Find the Imposter is the safest and easiest type of mission to do as a Soul Reaper in Paradox. The only thing you need to do is kill all the NPCs in the area until you find the imposter. The NPCs are completely defenseless, and ??there is no chance of anyone else interfering with your quest.

How to Solve Wave Defense Missions

Wave Defense is fairly similar to Takedown Assault, though enemies spawn one by one, and they will run toward you instead of waiting idly. The only thing you need to worry about du??ring these missions is to grip (B) the one you down ASAP, or you might e??nd up in a 1v2.

How to Solve Scavenger Hunt Missions

Scavenger Hunt is fairly simple and can often be done quicker than Find The Imposter. It requires you to visit three pink buttons around the map and interact with them (M1). However, because you'll be running through areas where other players might be, you might run int??o ?a few sabotagers here and there.

How to Solve Chase and Exterminate Missions

Chase And Exterminate is my favorite mission to do while trying to level up as a Soul Reaper in Paradox. It requires you to kill a single Arrancar NPC, and if you're already strong, that'll be a piece of cake. Even though it gives the least EXP a??nd Yen, because you ca?n do it so quickly, it's the best mission for progression.

How to Solve Defend The Point Missions

Defend The Point is pretty similar to Wave Defense, though, in this one, you'll also have to worry about the enemies not capturing the blue square on which you spawn. Since they'll follow you around instead of trying to capture the square, failing this mission in such a way is border?line imposs?ible.

And that wraps our guide on how to solve all Soul Reaper missions in the Paradox Roblox experience. To find more guides like this one, visit the Paradox hub here on Destructoid.

Clans are an important part of Paradox, as they offer buffs that may give you just enough to defeat even the strongest enemies. To help you choose the best, we've created the Paradox clans list for each race: Soul Reaper, Quincy, and Arrancar.

All Paradox Clans Buffs List - Roblox

Every clan has different buffs, but you can only choose ones associated with your race. There are three types of rarity: Legendary (1%), Rare (10%), and Common (89%). Legendary Clans are the best and hardest to get. On the other hand, Common Clans give you nothing but a name. Below is a list of all clan buffs in Paradox for? all races: Arrancar, Soul Reaper, and Quincy.

Arrancar Clans List

The best Arrancar clans are Starrk, Cifer, and Louisenbairn, ??offering multiple bonuses to your Hollo??w. Of course, that doesn't mean other Legendaries are bad. In fact, you should celebrate like it's your new birthday if you pull one.

Soul Reaper Clans List

The best Soul Reaper clans in Paradox are Aizen, Kurosaki, and Yamamoto. They offer the best buffs you can combine with your Shikai. That said, be happy if you pull? any of the top families, as chances to get another are sl??im to none.

Quincy Clans List

Not much is known about Quincy clans at the ??time of writing, except for their? names. We'll update our list with buffs as soon as we find more information.

How to Reroll Clans in Paradox

To get a new clan in Paradox, you'll need Clan Rerolls. The easiest way to get them is via Paradox codes. Besides that, you can also get them as rewards for completing Boss Raids, Ranked, and other difficult gam?e modes. Follow the instructions below on how to reroll clans.

1. Open your inventory.
2. Click on the Clan Reroll and select Use item.
3. Select the Roll till Rare or Roll till or Roll till Legendary options to skip useless Common clans. These cost Robux, though.
4. Warning: You can't revert your action when you change clan.

Now that you know more about Paradox clans and their buffs, check out Complete Beginner's Guide for Paradox on Destructoid.

You'll need plenty of skills and luck to become the greatest Quincy, Reaper, or Hollow. But firstly, you must learn Paradox controls and keybinds, as no player will show you mercy while you're trying to find the right button. We've covered all the controls you need for PC, Xbox, and PS5.

All Roblox Paradox Keybinds & Controls

Like its Bleach-like predecessor, Type Soul, learning Paradox controls is the first thing you must do. They're essential for mastering combat, especially if you're lucky enough to get some ?of the best weapons in the game.

Depending on your platform, you'll need Paradox PC, PS5, or Xbox controls. We'll update this guide immediately if new controls appear or are changed (especially for Shikai/Bankai). In the meantime, check out the latest Paradox codes for free rewards.

Roblox Paradox PC Controls

In addition to keyboard controls, you'll need the Menu button, Server lists, and Camera mode located at the top left of the screen. Below, you'll find a list of all P?aradox PC controls available.

Roblox Paradox Console Controls (PlayStation and Xbox)

If you prefer playing Roblox on consoles or want to play with a controller on a PC, you'll need a list of Paradox keybinds. Keep in mind that some actions have to be unlocked before you can use the button dedicated to it (like Meditation).

How to Change Keybinds in Roblox Paradox

To change keybinds in the Paradox Roblox experience, click on Settings in the top left and then switch to the Keybinds tab within the Settings menu. Here you can change all keybinds except for those that are used for moves (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Z, X, C).

Now that you know more about Paradox controls and keybinds for all platforms, learn more about the game by visiting the official Paradox Trello and Discord and Paradox FAQ.

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

For a more in-depth list of keybinds, including ones for PS and Xbox controllers, and instructions on how to change them, check out our Paradox controls guide.

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

Quincy 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 d?oing it with more people. The onl??y 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.

That does it for our beginner's guide to the Paradox Roblox experience. To find more guides just like this one, visit the Paradox section here on Destructoid.

As a Soul Reaper, you must be ready for everything the world has to throw at you, and unlocking a Shikai fast is a must. But which Shikai should should you be using? Our Roblox Paradox Shikai tier list will help you make the right choice.

Paradox Shikai Tier List - Best Shikai Ranked

Most Shikai moves in Paradox 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. Also, remember to redeem Paradox codes to get more Ability Rerolls.

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 an??d 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 ra??nge, 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 combin??e 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 Rampag??e 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. T?he 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 wors??t 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 skil?l 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 un?equipped, and you'll have to press V again to re-equip it.

Are you looking forward to the launch of Paradox as much as we are? That's understandable, considering how few good Bleach-inspired games are available now.

When is the Paradox Release Date?

Paradox will release on Friday, October 4th at 5:00 PM EST. It will be free to play, and you'll be able to join in on the action using PC, Mobile, Xbox, or Playstation. You can check how much time is left until the release on the Paradox Release It's Almost countdown.

Paradox Roblox Release FAQ

1. How to Get Early Access to Paradox?

There is an event currently running on the Paradox Discord where you can get Early Access by inviting 15 people to the server. You need to use a custom invite link, and you can redeem the Early Access by using the "/redeem" command in the bots channel. This command will also tell you how many invites you still need to receive the?? Ea?rly Access.

There is a limit on how many custom invite links can exist at once, so if you can't create one right now, wait until the admins purge all the currently unused links. The admins will post an alert in the announcements channel when that happens.

2. How to Create a Custom Invite Link for the Paradox Discord?

To create a custom invite link for the Paradox Discord on PC, do the following:

1. Switch to the Paradox Discord server.
2. Click on the server name on the top left.
3. Select Invite People from the drop-down menu.
4. Click on Edit invite link all the way at the bottom of the invite menu.
5. Press the Generate a New Link button to generate a custom link.
6. Hit Copy to copy the new custom invite link.

The process of making a custom invite link for the Paradox Discord on mobile is a bit different. Here is what you need to do:

1. Switch to the Paradox Discord server.
2. Click on the server name at the top.
3. Press the Invite button that's right below the member count.
4. Click on Edit invite link below the friends search box (if there are too many links at the moment, this option will not appear; wait for admins to purge the links and try again).
5. Configure the link options and press Save at the top right.
6. Click on Copy Link to copy the new custom link.

3. Do Patreon Supporters Get Early Access to Paradox?

No, being a Patreon supporter will not get you early access to Paradox. Instead, you'll have to join the events and giveaways just like all the other players. The perks that you can get by being a Patreon supporter are are listed on the Paradox Patreon page.

4. What is Combat Like in Paradox?

The combat system in Paradox is pretty similar to that of Type Soul. On defense, you'll rely on parrying and dodging your opponent's at??tacks. For offense, you'll have basic attacks, critical attacks, and multiple skills you unlock through the d??ifferent skill trees.

5. Is There Ranked PvP in Paradox?

There is ranked PvP in Paradox, and it's extremely competitive. Only 1v1 and 2v2 modes are currently supported, but that's likely to change with post-launch updates. By playing ranked, you can get virtually all items in the game, which is great if you ??get tired of the repetitive PvE.

6. Is Paradox Better Than Type Soul?

Type Soul is a bigger game, and there is a lot more content in it than in Paradox. However, with so many players that already have maxed out their characters, starting out can be difficult. Therefore, if you are new or simply want to try something new, Paradox is definitely the game to play.

That concludes our rundown on the release date for the Paradox Roblox experience. Stay tuned to Destructoid for guides on other popular RPG titles including Sorcery and Type Soul.

Eager for more Deadpool and Wolverine goodness? Then you'll perhaps be happy to learn about the surfacing of a new deleted scene featuring B-15 and Paradox prior to the release of Deadpool and Wolverine on Disney +.

The scene shows a conversation at the Time Variance Authority's headquarters between B-15 and Paradox, who she warns not to do anything, as his job is to do nothing and prevent others from doing anything. The problem is, Paradox is a bit bored of his job and he has, in fact, already done quite some things that he shouldn't have. One such thing, namely, was setting all the events of Deadpool and Wolverine in motion.

Matthew Macfadyen isn't present in Loki, as Paradox was only added to Deadpool and Wolverine likely due to Macfadyen's great turn as Tom Wambsgans in HBO's Succession. The scene does seem to feature a bit of a Succession taste to ?it, as Macfadyen spills a bit of acidic humor towards his over??seer in the TVA (Tive Variance Authority).

Wunmi Mosaku' B-15, Paradox's superior, is largely absent from Deadpool and Wolverine's original cut, a stark contrast to her constant presence in Marvel's Loki. T?his scene was likely removed because it didn't really add much to the plot, and also to make her reveal at the end of the movie stand out as one of those surprise appearances that Marvel likes to have fans clapping about??.

Deadpool and Wolverine will come out on Disney+ To?morrow, October 1, and will hit 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on October 22.
