The latest AUT update surprised almost everyone because it dropped at a completely random late-night hour, and along with it came one of the most interesting Bleach-style specs added to the game so far. The update introduced Quincy and its evolved version, URYU. At first, Quincy may seem pretty simple, but once you start working toward URYU, you quickly realize the grind is much bigger than expected.
If you are confused about how the whole progression works, this guide will walk you through everything step-by-step in simple English, including how to unlock Quincy, evolve into URYU, level mastery fast, and avoid wasting time during the evolution process.
How to Get Quincy in AUT
Before you can even think about getting URYU, you first need to unlock the Quincy spec.
To craft Quincy, you need these materials:
- 1 Tail of the Universe
- 1 Million UCoins
Once you have both items, craft Yhwach Blood and use it from your inventory. After using it, you instantly unlock Quincy.
Thankfully, Quincy itself is very easy to obtain compared to what comes afterward. The real grind begins once you start trying to evolve it into URYU.
Requirements to Unlock URYU
To evolve Quincy into URYU, you need several conditions completed first.
You must have:
- Mastery Level 2 or higher on Quincy
- Spiritual Level 2 or higher
- Survive for 30 minutes while using Quincy
- Use the Awallin move after the timer finishes
A lot of players misunderstand this part and think using the move automatically gives URYU, but that is not how it works. The evolution is actually chance-based.
Your success rate depends on two systems:
- Spiritual Level contributes up to 40%
- Mastery contributes up to 60%
That means if both are maxed, you can reach a guaranteed 100% evolution chance. If your levels are low, you may end up wasting 30 minutes only to fail the evolution attempt.
Because of that, most players recommend grinding higher mastery first instead of gambling with low percentages.
How to Increase Quincy Mastery Fast
The main way to level Quincy mastery is by defeating Soul Reapers.
At first, the progression feels easy, but the required kills increase with each mastery level. For example, getting Mastery 1 only takes a few kills, while later levels require significantly more farming.
One useful trick is farming in public servers instead of private servers. Soul Reapers tend to spawn faster there, which speeds up mastery grinding quite a bit. The downside is that public servers are risky because other players may attack you and interrupt your farming.
Still, if you want efficiency, public servers are usually worth it.
A smart strategy is combining mastery grinding with the 30-minute survival requirement. Instead of standing around waiting for the timer, keep farming Soul Reapers during that time so you make progress toward higher mastery levels.
You can also check how much time remains before using the evolution move, which helps avoid confusion during the wait.
Important Tip About Tail of the Universe
This is something many players accidentally mess up.
Do not throw away extra Tail of the Universe items.
Even after unlocking URYU, you still need more Yhwach Blood later for URYU mastery progression. A lot of players waste their extra materials early and regret it afterward.
Keep every Tail of the Universe you find.
Finally Unlocking URYU
After surviving the required 30 minutes and reaching the minimum mastery and spiritual requirements, use the Awallin move.
If your chance is high enough, you will finally evolve into URYU.
Honestly, this moment feels incredibly satisfying after all the grinding. The update made the evolution process feel more rewarding than simply using one item and instantly unlocking a spec.
The visual effects and overall style of URYU also feel much more polished compared to base Quincy.
How URYU Mastery Works
Unlocking URYU is not the end of the progression.
URYU has its own mastery system, and this part is surprisingly expensive.
To increase URYU mastery, you need to use additional Yhwach Blood items. Every blood item grants one mastery level, and the maximum mastery is Level 5.
That means you need:
- 5 total Yhwach Blood
- 5 Tail of the Universe
- Millions of additional UCoins
This is exactly why saving extra materials earlier matters so much.
If you already kept your extra Tail of the Universe drops while farming Soul Reapers, the mastery grind becomes far easier later.
Is URYU Worth Getting?
Based on early impressions from players, URYU is definitely strong and much better than basic Quincy. Some developers even joked that it might be stronger than Delta, although that may have been exaggeration.
The spec has flashy attacks, strong pressure, and feels designed for aggressive combat. Some mastery abilities are still confusing for players because the update is new, but overall the spec feels powerful and fun to use.
Even if balance changes happen later, URYU is still one of the most exciting progression specs added in recent AUT updates.
