The latest Type Soul update introduced a brand-new Shirayuki Shikai weapon, a beautiful ice/snow-themed blade that stands out not just for its frosty design but also for its unique combat feel. If you’re aiming to get it quickly, here’s the complete guide that walks you through requirements, codes, mechanics, and everything you should know before grinding.
How To Get the New Shirayuki Shikai Weapon IN Type Soul
Shirayuki is essentially an exclusive ice/snow weapon skin for Shikai users. It gives your blade a glowing, icy appearance that immediately sets you apart. The weapon doesn’t massively alter gameplay (at least in its current state), but it adds new animations, stylish combat flair, and potentially exploitable mechanics.
Players are already experimenting with it, and some moves feel unusually powerful—like spammable crits that shouldn’t have zero cooldowns. Whether that’s intentional or a bug is still unclear, but it makes Shirayuki very fun to test right now.
What is a Lock Soul Gem?
This item allows you to transfer your True Mode into a different element. Think of it as a reset or conversion system, letting you adapt your build without starting over. For Shirayuki, this is useful if you don’t already have the required Shikai.
Requirements to Unlock Shirayuki
Getting Shirayuki isn’t as simple as rolling blindly. There’s a clear requirement before you can even attempt it:
- Obtain the Ice/Snow Shikai first.
- Without this Shikai, you cannot roll for Shirayuki at all.
- If you don’t have it, you’ll need to farm or reroll until you get the ice/snow variant.
- Use the Lock Weapon Roll.
- Once you have Ice Shikai, head to the roll system.
- You’ll need to roll specifically for the Shirayuki weapon.
- Rarity:
- Shirayuki is classified as a mythic drop, meaning it isn’t guaranteed and may take multiple attempts. Patience is key here.
Weapon Showcase & Mechanics
Once obtained, Shirayuki comes with a frosty glow and a unique feel in combat. Here’s what players can expect:
- M1s (Basic Attacks): Standard swings with no extra special effects.
- Heavy Attack: Multiple-hit combo that feels smoother compared to base weapons.
- Block: Works like other swords—nothing groundbreaking here.
- Crit (Special):
- Currently spammable with no cooldown, which may be a bug.
- The crit attack includes a dash-style animation that hits multiple times if it connects.
- Damage is moderate (around 9–10 per hit), but the speed and spam potential make it scary in duels.
⚠️ Note: Since the crit appears unbalanced, there’s a high chance the devs may patch it in an upcoming hotfix. Enjoy the chaos while it lasts!
Is Shirayuki Worth Getting?
If you’re an Ice/Snow Shikai user, then yes, absolutely. The weapon doesn’t just add flair—it gives you new attack patterns that make PvP feel refreshing. Even if it gets patched, Shirayuki is still a mythic-tier collectible that shows off your grind and luck.
On the other hand, if you don’t run Ice/Snow Shikai, you’ll need to weigh whether rolling for it is worth the time investment.
The Shirayuki Shikai weapon is one of the coolest additions in the recent Type Soul update—literally. It’s a frost-themed, mythic-tier sword with flashy visuals, fun mechanics, and potentially overpowered crit spam. To get it fast, secure the Ice/Snow Shikai first, redeem all active codes, and roll until you land the mythic.
Even if it takes a grind, it’s worth it for both the style and the combat utility. Jump in now before the codes expire and while Shirayuki’s crit spam is still untouched.
