The latest Diverse Piece update has introduced the highly anticipated character, Ichigo, along with a new boss and unique items. Unlocking his powerful Legendary sword is a key goal for many players. This guide provides a complete, step-by-step breakdown of everything you need to know to get Ichigo in Diverse Piece.
All Requirements to Unlock Ichigo
To obtain Ichigo, you must gather a specific set of items and present them to the correct NPC. None of these items are available through the Gacha system, meaning you must earn them all through gameplay.
You will need to collect the following items:
Asauchi
Shinigami Badge
Shinigami Race (Mythical rarity)
One Hundred (100) Hollow Masks
One Million (1,000,000) Yen
NPC Location: Where to Find Rukia
Once you have all the required items, you must find the NPC Rukia. She is located on Kakura Town Island. Interact with her, and she will have an option to display the requirements for unlocking Ichigo. If you have all the items in your inventory, you can trade them with her to receive the Ichigo sword.
Detailed Item Farming Guide
Here is a detailed look at how to acquire each of the necessary items.
1. Asauchi & Shinigami Badge
The Asauchi and Shinigami Badge are both dropped by the Ichigo Boss.
How to Spawn the Ichigo Boss: You need an Ichigo Boss Ticket. This ticket is purchased from the same NPC used to summon the Eisen Boss.
Location: Find the NPC summoner (the one for Eisen) to buy the ticket and spawn the Ichigo boss.
Additional Drops: Defeating the Ichigo boss also has a chance to drop a new title and a unique accessory, making the farm worthwhile even after you have the main items.
2. Shinigami Race (Mythical)
This is often the most challenging requirement due to its reliance on luck.
How to Get It: The Shinigami Race can only be obtained through the race reroll process.
Rarity: It is a Mythical rarity race, meaning the chance of obtaining it is very low.
Strategy: You will need to prepare for a potentially long rerolling process. It is recommended to gather a large amount of in-game currency or reroll items before you begin attempting to get this race.
3. Hollow Masks
This requirement is straightforward but requires time and grinding.
How to Get Them: Hollow Masks are collected by defeating regular Hollow enemies that spawn across various areas in the game.
Farming Tip: Instead of focusing solely on Hollows, you can efficiently farm these masks while completing other quests and objectives around the map. This makes the process feel less repetitive.
4. One Million Yen
This is a simple currency requirement.
How to Get It: Accumulate 1,000,000 Yen through standard gameplay activities like completing quests, defeating bosses, and selling items.
Ichigo’s Moveset & Is He Worth It?
Ichigo is equipped with a powerful Legendary sword featuring five distinct moves.
Power Level: He is considered one of the strongest swords in the game, with total damage output comparable to top-tier weapons like Zenitu.
Versatility: His moveset includes effective Area of Effect (AoE) and single-target skills, making him excellent for both PvE (Player vs. Environment) and PvP (Player vs. Player) content.
Scaling: Ichigo has excellent scaling, meaning his power increases effectively as your player level grows.
Note: One of his skills (typically denoted as an “F” skill) may not have a clear visual effect and does not provide damage or healing, which appears to be intentional.
Pro Tips for an Efficient Farm
Farm the Boss Repeatedly: Focus on farming the Ichigo boss multiple times in a row. This will not only give you the Asauchi and Badge but also a chance at the exclusive title and accessory.
Multi-Task for Hollow Masks: Don’t just camp in one area for Hollows. Combine your mask farming with other quests and boss fights to maximize your time efficiency.
Prepare for Rerolls: Before you start, ensure you have a massive stockpile of race rerolls or the currency to obtain them. This will save you from frustration when hunting for the Mythical Shinigami Race.
