If you’ve checked out our Type Soul Shikai tier list, you’ll see a similar trend emerging for Partial Res. The buffs and nerfs have notably strengthened Commons and Rares. With the cooldown on Cero Oscuras present and only one Partial Res move available, selecting the right Partial Res for your build is more critical than ever. Let’s dive into my Type Soul Partial Res tier list and highlight the best moves for all options.
Partial Res Tier List

Currently, picking the best Type Soul Partial Res is crucial since Hollows/Arrancars are limited to only 1 Partial move. This limitation makes choosing effective moves even more significant. I’ll rank them based on their potential to strengthen your build, especially with the new effect from Cero Oscuras that allows you to reset Partial CD upon landing it. Let’s analyze all Partial Res options individually.
Rankings: S-Tiers typically feature powerful true combos, overpowered moves, or exploit the current low Reiatsu nerf with Rei steals like Vampire or Phoenix. A-Tiers are strong options for raw damage but lack some flexibility compared to S. B-Tiers still hold value but are slightly weaker than A and S. Lastly, C-Tiers are generally underpowered and should be re-rolled.
