If you are looking for a character that offers the fastest speed and agility, then you can‘t go wrong with Soi Fon. While she is a close combat character, her speed alone will have her opponents unprepared for what is to come. Since Soi Fon is a bit complex to use, this guide will break down her skills and how to best use her in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls.
How To Play as Soi Fon in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls
Soi Fon’s speed alone makes her one of the best characters to use in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls. If you want to quickly bridge the distance between you and your opponent before they can take the first move, then using Soi Fon is the way to go. Let’s have a look at her moveset and the best tactics to use Soi Fon in battle effectively.
Special Flash Attack
Soi Fon’s Hineri Zenchugeri move will let her dash forward and perform a powerful spinning kick, which can be further fortified by applying Anken. It is best to keep a larger distance between you and your opponent so you have a lot of space to implement this move.
Signature Moves
You can utilize two signature moves for Soi Fon, and we will break down how to use both of them. You got the Anken move, which shoots out blades at the opponent. This is a pretty good move to distract your opponents from coming too close to you, but it is considered a weaker move and should be used to cover any openings. Since Anken works on Anken Stock, this can get depleted quickly when used frequently.
This is when you can use Replenish, the second Signature Move. Short pressing of the Replenish button will restock Anken Stock from 0 to 4, while long pressing it will increase it to 8. Using the Anken alongside a light or heavy combo will give you new movesets that you can experience while out on the field. To extend the combo, you can use Flash attacks with Anken to do that.
Spiritual Pressure 1
The Kazaguruma moveset allows Soi Fon to unleash a kick just before the opponent does their attack. You can also turn this into a multi-attack if you hold down the button, leading to powerful Quick or Flash attack combos. This can lead your character behind your opponent the further you charge the attack, launching surprise attacks to throw them off guard.
Further holding down the button will change Kazaguruma into Negeki Kessatsu, which can perform a backstab using Skikai, Suzumebachi. This can also put Homonka on your opponent, and hitting them while this is active will destroy their Konpaku and instantly kill them. But letting Soi Fon sit around to charge up her attack may not be possible, unless you get to use her second Spiritual Pressure; Bakudo No. 30, Shitotsusansen.
Spiritual Pressure 2
With Bakudo No. 30, Shitotsu Sansen, you can bind your opponent, rendering them unable to move. This attack is unblockable, so your chances of locking your opponent in place are always guaranteed. You can follow up with a Hakuda after performing this move, and you can hold down the Shitotsu Sansen button to charge it up and unleash an even stronger bind. Bound opponents are locked for 5 seconds, so you need to quickly act and unleash your next attack.
Awakened Kikon Move 2
When Bankai: Jakuho Raikoben is active, you get to knock off either 4 or 6 Konpaku from your opponent. Activating this move for the first time will remove 6 Konpaku and you get to enter Recoil State. The only thing you need to remember is to first deplete your opponent’s health bar before you perform this move, as this is the only way to remove 6 Konpaku.
In short, Soi Fon is not a character to be messed with, and her moves can be a bit difficult to master for beginners. But with the right combo moves, you can quickly downplay your opponents and turn the battle in your favor.
