There are several skill trees, and the skills are ordered by their requirements, with the lowest on the top and highest on the bottom.

How to Go From Trainee to Grade 3 Quickly
First, the single best way to go fromtraineeto Grade 3 in Type Soul is tofarmmissions. you may get them from literally any mission board, and they most often require you to kill a couple of Friskers. This is probably the most time-consuming part of getting Shikai in Type Soul after the Shikai fights, of course. More on that later, but for now, find a quest board andstart spamming missions.
Fastest Way to Get Grade 2 in Type Soul
After you’ve hit Grade 3, you’ll need to join aDivision. These are required to get Grade 2, as well as a Shikai in Type Soul. Each division has its ownDivision Duties, which are basically mini-quests, and the 12th Division’s quest is an Osu!-like mini-game. This mini-game is theeasiestway to farm Division EXP and get Grade 2 in Type Soul, and the one we’ll exploit.
Joining 12th Division
To join the 12th Division, make sure you’re in Soul Society, turn on map markers (Commaon keyboard), and look for thethistle-shapedinsignia. Make your way to that building, and on the bottom floor, you’ll find thedivision NPCyou can use to join the 12th.
How to Leave Your Division
In case you’re already in a division, you’ll have to leave it to join the 12th. You can also just do your current division’s duties, but they are 100% harder than this one. Anyway, the division leaveNPCiscloseto theJidanbo boss spawn(you can see him in the image above; the boss spawns next to thetwo tall towersin themiddle of Soul Society, and he can getaggroon you, so be careful).
Division Assignments
Once you’ve joined the 12th, your next goal is theDivision Duty mini-game, which is in the room right next to the division NPC. Click on the duty board and accept it to start the mini-game (if you’re not Grade 3, you won’t be able to do this). Just click onHollowsthat appear till the mini-game ends, and you’ll get your EXP. You’ll need about 6/7 games for Semi-Grade 2 and about the same for Grade 2.
How to Check Your EXP
If you want to check how much EXP you’ve got left before you grade up, you can do that at thehospitalinKarakura Town. The hospital is located next to the bridge, as shown in the image above, and you’ll see the NPC just as you enter the door. Interact with the girl and pay her1,000 kanto check your EXP.
How to Beat the Shikai Boss and Get Shikai
Once you’ve completed the mini-game 15 or so times, you’ll finally reach Grade 2 in Type Soul, and that means you’ll be just an inch (more like a mile) away from getting your Shikai. Here is what you’ll have to do for that.
How to Access Your Inner World
First, you’ll have to access your Inner World. To do that, you must meditate6 timesin a row,5 minutes each(30 minutes total). Your character will stand up after each 5-minute period passes, so you don’t have to worry about timing. Just make sure you startmeditating again.
After you finish the last meditation, meditateonce more, and you’ll be teleported to yourShikai World. This is where you’ll find your Shikai, which you’ll have to fight to get its abilities. Talk to himfivetimes to start the boss fight.

Preparation
The Shikai boss fight is one of the hardest things you’ll encounter in Type Soul, but there is a cheesy way to do it. First, you’ll have torerollyour element towind/water(if you used thecodes, you should have over 100 rerolls). These are the only two that I know are easy. Ask around theDiscord serverabout others.
Second, use a blue pill if you need to and put all your points into Kendo (use two red pills, too, so you have 35 skill points). Again, this is the one I can guarantee is easy and works. TakeOverpowering Slash,Vertical Down,Split Gate, andBisection, and put them into quick slots. These are the only ones you’ll be needing.
Cheese Tactic
Third, you’ll want to practice the cheese tactic, which goes like this:
Now incorporate everything you’ve read above into your gameplay and beat that thing. It uses moves similar to yours, though theelementwill add a couple of its own, too. So, be on your guard, re-read thecheese tacticagain if you need to, and be patient. Also, special thanks to@ZRGforcefor helping me out with the strategy for this fight.
How to Retry The Shikai Boss Fight
If you lose, you’ll have to retry the fight, which you’re able to do after a10-minute cooldownpasses. Then, justmeditate again, and you’ll be thrown back to your Shikai world. You can also reset the cooldown quicker by gripping a player from one of the other two factions.
How to Use Your Shikai in Type Soul
Once you’ve received yourShikai, it’s time to use it. To activate it, just clickJon your keyboard. Then, you’ll get to use the three special skills indicated on thebottom rightof thein-game UI. You use each one from top to bottom by pressingZ,X, andC. Each of those has a separate cooldown, so use them smartly.
