What Is Kendo in Type Soul?
Kendo is the sword-focused combat skill tree in Type Soul. It is a counterpart to Hakuda (fist-based), meaning you can only choose one. Kendo users rely on swift, high-damage attacks, combos, and anti-heal effects.
- Access it from the Skill Tree menu (press N).
- Choosing Kendo locks you out of Hakuda.
Best Races for Kendo
- Soul Reaper/Shinigami: Best synergy with Kendo weapons and Shikai.
- Arrancar: Solid option if you prefer swords over fists.
- Quincy: Usable, but lacks deep synergy.
