While all **Shikai** in *Hollow Era* are formidable, they vary in strength and utility. **Ryuujin Jakka**, inspired by *Bleach*, stands out with its exceptional power and explosive damage capabilities, making it a top choice. If you don't secure **Ryuujin Jakka** initially, **Benihime** offers a versatile and engaging alternative that's perfect for beginners.

Here's a detailed rundown of all **Shikai** available in *Hollow Era*:

Shikai	Abilities
	An extremely powerful and explosive **Shikai** ideal for an aggressive playstyle. It offers numerous offensive options and damage-over-time effects. • **Z:** Unleashes a burst of fire from the sword, burning anyone it hits. • **X:** Performs a slash, creating a burst of fire around the user. • **C:** Lunges forward, impaling the opponent with the sword before unleashing a burst of fire. • **Ultimate:** Summons pillars of fire around the user, burning anyone caught within them.
	A versatile and mobile **Shikai** designed for hit-and-run tactics and crowd control. • **Z:** Manifests ice under the user's feet for skating, freezing anyone they collide with. • **X:** Unleashes an ice pillar at the cursor's location. • **C:** Summons an ice dragon that crashes down at the cursor's location. • **Ultimate:** Charges energy before unleashing it to freeze everything around the user.
	An effective offensive **Shikai** best utilized at a distance. It's user-friendly but challenging to master. • **Z:** Transforms petals into a sword that flies forward, hitting multiple enemies before returning. • **X:** Unleashes a burst of petals, lifting the opponent into the air. • **C:** Transforms petals into a tornado that moves forward. • **Ultimate:** Summons petals on the ground that rise and lift the opponent into the air.
	An excellent starting **Shikai** that excels in various combat scenarios. • **Z:** Sends forth a slash of energy. • **X:** Creates a net that traps and then explodes, dealing damage. • **C:** Sends out three slashes towards the cursor. • **Ultimate:** Flies into the air, sending down a barrage of missiles that deal high damage.

The transition from **Ryuujin Jakka** to **Zangetsu** showcases a significant shift in power and versatility. While **Zangetsu** is simple and effective, it doesn't match the raw power and adaptability of **Ryuujin Jakka**. Each **Shikai** offers unique abilities and strategic uses, so it's wise to experiment before committing to one.
