In Hollow Era, the Bleach-inspired Roblox experience, players can specialize in two distinct fighting styles: Kendo and Kido.
Each style offers a unique skill tree, powerful abilities, and a different approach to combat.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Kendo and Kido, explaining how to unlock them, detailing their abilities, and offering strategic tips to help you choose the best fighting style for your playstyle.
Kendo: The Way of the Sword
Kendo is the fighting style for players who prefer close-quarters combat and the mastery of the blade.
It focuses on enhancing your swordsmanship and unlocking powerful sword techniques.
- Focus: Sword-based attacks, close-range combat, high damage output.
- Requirement: To use Kendo skills, you must have a sword equipped.
Unlocking Kendo
- Defeat Kenpachi Boss: Challenge and defeat the Kenpachi boss (Level 25+). This boss has a chance to drop the Kendo Scroll.
- Find Musashi NPC: Locate the NPC named Musashi, who is found in the Crystal Cave.
- Turn in the Scroll: Give the Kendo Scroll to Musashi to unlock the Kendo fighting style and its skill tree.
Kendo Skill Tree and Abilities
Kendo Mastery (Node): This is the core node of the Kendo skill tree. Investing points here unlocks access to more advanced Kendo abilities.
Kendo Abilities:
- Extermination: A swift, diagonal slash with your sword.
- Wolf Counter: A spinning attack that delivers three slashes in all directions.
- Mercenary: An upward slash that sends a wave of energy forward.
- Bloodlust: A deadly dashing attack that allows you to pass through enemies while delivering a powerful slash.
Kido: The Art of Reiatsu
Kido is a fighting style that utilizes spiritual energy (reiatsu) to unleash powerful, often ranged, attacks.
It offers a more versatile approach compared to Kendo, with a mix of offensive and potentially supportive abilities.
- Focus: Reiatsu-based attacks, ranged combat, area-of-effect (AoE) abilities.
Unlocking Kido
- Defeat Byakuya Boss: Challenge and defeat the Byakuya boss (Level 35+) located at Execution Hill. This boss has a chance to drop the Kido Scroll.
- Turn in the Scroll: Give the Kido Scroll to the relevant NPC to unlock the Kido fighting style.
Kido Skill Tree and Abilities
Kido Specialist (Node): This is the core node of the Kido skill tree, unlocking access to more advanced Kido spells.
Kido Abilities:
- Heavenly Cannon: Fires five beams of reiatsu forward.
- Fire Blade Sacrifice: Restrains an enemy and summons a giant flaming sword to impale them.
- Kurohitsugi: Summons a black coffin that traps an enemy.
- Goryutenmetsu: Summons a reiatsu dragon that fights alongside you.
- Lightning Dragon Cannon: Unleashes a powerful beam of lightning.
Choosing Your Path: Kendo vs. Kido
- Kendo: Best for players who enjoy aggressive, close-range combat and the feel of wielding a blade.
- Kido: Ideal for players who prefer ranged attacks, area-of-effect damage, and the versatility of reiatsu-based abilities.
Hybrid Approach: It’s possible to invest in both Kendo and Kido, creating a hybrid build. However, this may require more grinding to unlock all the necessary skills. It might be more efficient to focus on one style initially.
Conclusion
Whether you choose the path of the sword with Kendo or the power of reiatsu with Kido, mastering your chosen fighting style is crucial for success in Hollow Era.
Experiment with different abilities, develop your skill tree strategically, and become a formidable force in the world of Hollows and Soul Reapers.
