There's been a lot of powercreep in the Type Soul re-release with the Nimble and Overkill Schrifts being overpowered currently. Also, Commons and Rares seem to be outperforming base Legendaries and Mythics which is common for Shikai and Partial Res as well. With all of this in mind let's talk about all Quincy Schrifts and find the best one in my Type Soul Schrift tier list and guide.

Type Soul Quincy Schrift Tier List
This Type Soul Schrift tier list covers all Quincy Schrift options from best to worst except for Almighty. I don't know how to get that one yet so I haven't tested it. Other than that we seem to be getting a lot of powercreep from new Schrifts with Nimble and Overkill being OP right now for high-rank leaderboards. But there's still some awesome Schrift options from the old era that are doing good today so let's take a look. Below you'll find a detailed breakdown of all Type Soul Schrifts from best to worst.

S-Tier Schrift
| S-Tier Schrift | Notes |
|---|---|
 Nimble |
• The new Schrift Nimble is quite OP due to its mobility and defensive potential • The T move puts you in a stance where you get three free auto dodges which is power creep in my opinion especially coming from a Rare • The G is also a good damage multi-hit dash forward that's difficult to parry because of the multi-hit and it also staggers on hit making it a good combo extender • What's worse, for every single dodge you do you gain more speed so this either needs to get nerfed or some other options need to get hella buffed • Combine with Hakuda or Speed for a lot of damage and mobility |
 Overkill |
• Similar to Nimble where it's a new Schrift but incredibly powerful dueling option despite it drawbacks • Basically it replaces all your active moves with a powerful passive that boosts your stats slightly on grips/kills little by little, up to a maximum cap • The cap is +40% Posture, +40% Rei, +30% Speed, +50% Damage and +20% Defense • This is an incredibly powerful passive that will have you dealing tons of damage and tanking a lot too • I highly recommend you just go to a low level area like Fullbringer world and you can even stack it on the NPC kills, not just players (You need ~200 grips/kills to max it out) • Combine with pretty much anything like Kendo or Speed for a leaderboard worthy build |
 Heat |
• Overall Heat deals a lot of damage with the moves and the burn effect so it's a really competitive base Schrift • The T also stuns for a long time if you land it at max range so you can true combo off of it if you can close the distance fast with mobility moves or combo into Kido • G is a really great high-damage multi-hit guardbreak move that's amazing on Speed and Kendo • You can't go wrong with Heat if you constantly land T at max range and can close the distance for a true combo |
 Wind |
• Wind is a Common Schrift but an S-Tier true combo master because the T move stuns and guardbreaks allowing for a true combo into G or Rising Swallow or Floating Strikes, etc. (True combo into fast moves) • G also stuns and comboes well into many moves including G and then you can keep it going with fast attacks |
 Superstar |
• The T got a speed buff and you can pull off great combos with it using feints into a critical or something similar • The G move guardbreaks and is incredibly good with Air Hakuda since you can do it midair to keep them in the air and combo extend • The new "OKAY, JAMES!" passive from the re-release further buffs this Schrift's damage, defense and even heals you on landing moves • Somewhere between A and S due to the James heal and combo potential |
A-Tier Schrift
| A-Tier Schrift | Notes |
|---|---|
 Butterfly |
• They nerfed Butterfly G's cooldown and also made it so you can't movestack anymore back in September 2024 • That said G is still a really fast move that can combo into other attacks really well • T is also pretty good since it's an AOE mini-stun that serves as a great combo extender • Overall Butterfly has some great combo potential and is a viable pick in any rank |
 Explode |
• The T has guard break and ragdolls and is great for allowing you to extend into other moves like Fast Bang, Flash Cut, Black Claw, Earth Shatter, etc. (Great with Speed and Hakuda) • The G is really good for maintaining a combo since it extends the air time on your opponent • Overall I think it's very similar to Butterfly for comboing so I value them the same |
 Zombie |
• I mostly like Zombie for the G counter since it true combos into a lot of other Speed-Kendo-Kido moves • Otherwise, the Zombie passive is really niche and virtually useless in high rank 1v1s though it is good in open world noob-stomping and team fights since it works like a Kyoka clone • T doesn't have much synergy with other moves but is a pretty decent AOE cone damage in front of you |
 Balance |
• Balance has received numerous nerfs over the past months with the removal of hyperarmor, lessening the stun effect, etc. • That said Balance is still pretty good since T still guardbreaks and gives you Order to heal with your passive • G is the main heal that sustains you and buffs your team or deals damage if you hold but I wouldn't hold it since the heal is better • Overall while it's not as good as it used to be it still offers excellent sustain in high rank PVP |
 Deathdealing |
• Deathdealing is such an awesome Schrift because it's so flexible and works on any build like Kido/Flash/Kenpo and even Ground Hakuda due to the G flashstep disable • Your passive Lethal Dosage will ramp up a huge damage burst with your moves that explodes and ragdolls enemies when they reach 100 (Executes on low HP) • T is an uncounterable move with high posture damage that just ramps up Lethal Dosage passive • G is a great area control spell (both defensively in ganks or offensively for chasedown) since it disables flashsteps and also ramps up Lethal Dosage • Just note that good players will always try to get out of G with stuff like Dropping Fang, Time Cut, Eviscerate, etc. |
B-Tier Schrift
| B-Tier Schrift | Notes |
|---|---|
 Miracle |
• The T here is really fun to use even though it's easy to parry frontally since you can aim it behind the enemy block to bypass it • If you land a T it blinds them so go for a combo fast, works great with a mobility move to close the distance if you're further away • The G is good damage and massive ragdoll that comes from the left (their right) so it can be awkward to block • Overall this is a balanced moveset that's not amazing but not bad so perfect for B-Tier |
 Glutton |
• You have a special grip here that restores meters which is good for team fights • The T move is good for DOT damage and sustain if you can land it since it's a projectile but it's fast so it's not unreliable • G is a great guardbreak lifesteal/mobility move that combos well into T since if you hit it immediately after T it procs all DOT damage right away and heals you more • Really good for Kendo and Hakuda (G in air to extend comboes) but overall moves can be parried so B-Tier fits |
 Thunderbolt |
• Thunderbolt is all about landing T to link and then doing G to ragdoll players which sets them up for a true combo into any pretty much any move • The problem is that T is really hard to land on experienced players unless you're using feints, other moves and free aim to land an unpredictable T • Overall when it works it's a free true combo but it's hard to land T which is why it's B-Tier |
 Power |
• Power is overall good for combo extension since the moves here ragdoll enemies • G is the powerhouse since it has hyperarmor, guardbreaks and has long range to ragdoll enemies • You can combine it with Kendo, Speed and Hakuda but it's nothing broken so you'll have to practice combos to make it worthwhile |
 Iron |
• Iron is pretty decent overall since T cannot be canceled and it deals a lot of posture damage • G is hard to land but if you do land it it's a true combo into Floating Strikes or Rising Swallow or any fast melee move • The only reason Iron isn't A-Tier is because there's a lot of end lag on the moves meaning you can get punished easily |
C-Tier Schrift
| C-Tier Schrift | Notes |
|---|---|
 Visionary |
• Visionary got massive nerfs in terms of not being able to movestack anymore so it kind of falls of heavily • T no longer movestacks into other moves and is easy to parry • G is pretty okay with the knockback but much slower and more easily punished since you can't hit enemies in front of you who get close and put pressure as it misses them • The passives with the T damage reduction and ultra parry with G when on full Imagination is okay but not enough to place this higher than C-Tier for me personally |
 Fear |
• The main problem I have with Fear is that it's predictable since you can see the T move coming a mile away you can just block it or counter it • That said if you can pull it off the T move does stun enough for a true combo into something like a Rising Swallow or Floating Strikes • G doesn't do that much damage and its only real use is slowing • Overall this is an underpowered Schrift but it's not useless for D-Tier |
D-Tier Schrift
| D-Tier Schrift | Notes |
|---|---|
 Compulsory |
• While T has been buffed to increase its speed it's still a blockable move • G doesn't even guardbreak even though it does good posture • Overall this is a very weak Schrift but still more usable than Royal and X Axis |
 Royal |
• Royal really needs a buff since both T and G have huge windups/slow animations that are easily punished • They are both hyperarmor and guardbreak moves but that isn't really worth since your opponent will have ages to dodge or punish you • This might turn into an A-Tier or higher Schrift if they speed up the starting animations on the moves |
 X Axis |
• This is the ranged combat Schrift and the biggest problem with it is that Type Soul fights get real close real quick with lots of mobility moves • That means that the T and G slow start-up animation like with Royal sucks since you'll just get punished • As a base Schrift this is probably the worst one in the game |
