Hollow Evolution Stages and Trait Planning
The Hollow progression in VV Ultimatum is a series of transformations, each offering unique advantages and a limited number of trait slots. Your choices here directly influence your eventual Arrancar and Resurrección capabilities.
Always prioritize traits that align with your desired final build. Traits are harder to manage after Arrancar evolution, so make your choices count early.
Choose Your Initial Hollow Type
Your journey begins with selecting one of four base Hollow forms. This initial choice influences the opponent you'll face in your later Resurrection fight.
Hollow Types:
- Gorilla: Balanced start, no major buffs or debuffs.
- Lizard: Favors movement speed, but lowers defense.
- Turtle: Improves defense, but reduces speed.
- Centipede: Greatly improves speed, but lowers defense and damage.
Consume Hollows and Collect Traits Strategically
Defeat other Hollows and consume their remains to gain progression. As you consume, you'll gain access to various traits.
Base Hollows can hold 2 traits, Adjuchas can hold 3, and Vasto Lorde can hold 4. Plan accordingly!
Prioritize strong general traits like Iron Skin, Wings, Deadly Claws, Dense Muscles, Tailbone, or build-specific Cero traits. Reject any traits that don't fit your long-term vision.
Reach Menos and Adjuchas
Continue consuming Hollows to trigger your Menos progression. This is the first major evolution tier. After Menos, you can push to Adjuchas, which unlocks stronger Hollow routing, Cero access, and a third trait slot.
Aim for Vasto Lorde
Vasto Lorde is the optimal Hollow form to achieve before becoming an Arrancar. This stage allows you to reach the four-trait ceiling, providing the strongest foundation for your Resurrección build. Continue the main red questline and Hollow progression requirements to reach this form.
Becoming Arrancar and Unlocking Resurrección
Once you've meticulously planned your traits and reached Vasto Lorde, the next phase is to shed your mask and embrace the Arrancar form, leading to the ultimate goal: VV Ultimatum Resurrección.
Becoming Arrancar shifts your focus from monster-form progression to weapon-and-Resurrección progression. Hollow Traits now function through your Resurrección-focused build path.
Become Arrancar or Vastocar
Trigger the evolution once your chosen Hollow stage (ideally Vasto Lorde) is ready. You'll then choose an Arrancar weapon route that complements your build.
Meditate for Resurrección
After becoming Arrancar, begin the Resurrección obtainment loop. Equip your active weapon before meditating. Watch for Inner World whispers appearing above your skill hotbar and meditate immediately when they do to progress. If meditation only puts your character to sleep, you need to gain more XP.
Win the Resurrection Fight
Successful meditation progress will eventually lead you to your Inner World, where you must fight the original Hollow type you selected at the start of your journey. This fight is the final check for your Hollow route.
Before the Fight
- Ensure your chosen traits align with your combat style.
- Have your best Arrancar weapon equipped.
- Understand your Hollow type's abilities (as that's your opponent).
During the Fight
- Focus on clean timing and effective use of abilities.
- The fight can be retried, so learn from each attempt.
- Gain more XP if you struggle, as it can make a difference.
Resurrección Benefits and Post-Unlock Tips
Unlocking your VV Ultimatum Resurrección is a significant power spike, granting you enhanced abilities and a new dimension to your combat.
Upon victory in the Resurrection fight, you will unlock your unique Resurrección, transforming your combat style and power.
Post-Resurrección Checklist:
- Explore your new Resurrección abilities.
- Adjust your build to maximize Resurrección uptime and damage.
- Test your new power in PvP and PvE scenarios.
- Continue to refine your trait and skill tree choices.
Here's a breakdown of how your Resurrección typically enhances your character:
| Aspect | Pre-Resurrección (Arrancar) | Post-Resurrección (Arrancar with Resurrección) |
|---|---|---|
| Power Level | Strong, but limited to base Arrancar abilities. | Massively increased, with unique forms and abilities. |
| Mobility | Dependent on base stats and chosen skills. | Often enhanced with new movement options or speed bonuses. |
| Damage Output | Solid, but reliant on weapon and Kido skills. | Significant burst potential and sustained damage. |
| Durability | Standard Arrancar defenses. | Improved defenses or unique damage mitigation. |
| Trait Impact | Traits provide passive bonuses. | Traits fully integrated, amplifying Resurrección form. |
Optimizing Your Resurrección Build
Once you've achieved VV Ultimatum Resurrección, the journey shifts from obtaining it to optimizing its use. Your build choices, particularly your clan and skill tree, become even more critical.
Clans like Cifer (Hollow faction) offer bonuses like "+20% Longer Resurrección," "+2.0% Kido Damage," and "+5.0 Reiatsu," making them ideal for maximizing your Resurrección uptime and power.
Recommended Skill Tree Focus:
| Skill Tree | Role | Key Benefits | Synergies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hollow/Arrancar | Cero / Bala / Defensive Burst | High burst damage, regeneration, Hierro defense. | Cifer Clan, Kido-focused builds. |
| Hakuda | Melee / Fist Combat | Aggressive pressure, combo extension, PvP duels. | Jaegerjaquez Clan, high mobility. |
| Speed | Mobility / Shunpo / Tempo | Essential for all builds, chase, escape, recovery. | Murciellago Clan, any build needing positioning. |
| Strength | Weapon / Posture / Heavy Hits | Heavy confirms, posture pressure, punishes. | Kufang Clan, weapon-focused Arrancar. |
Ensuring your skill points are invested wisely to complement your Resurrección is vital. For example, if your Resurrección has powerful Kido abilities, investing in Kido-enhancing skills and clans will yield far greater results than spreading points thinly.
