Don’t evolve into an Arrancar too early.
If you’ve picked the Hollow faction, you’ll need my VV Ultimatum Hollow Progression guide. I discuss how to unlock each Hollow form and how to progress as an Arrancar. I also mentioned how Hollow Traits work in VV Ultimatum, the various Hollow Types, and Hollow Clans.
On the topic of Clans, it’s worth checking out our VV Ultimatum Clans Tier List to find out which are the best for each faction.
The Hollow faction is one of the most popular in VV Ultimatum, so let’s do a deep dive into how to progress.
How to progress through each Hollow form.
When you’re a Base Hollow, you need to defeat and consume other Hollows. After doing this several times, you transform into a Menos.
To progress through the Menos form, your main tasks are to defeat Hollows and destroy objects. Once you’ve done this a specific number of times [the average number is unknown at this current time], your form is upgraded to an Adjuchas.
Whilst, as a Menos, you can press the L key to change into a Menoscar [Arrancar], I do not recommend it. This reduces your stats and grants only 2 Hollow Traits, rather than Adjuchas, who get 3 Hollow Traits and Vastocars, who get 4.
Once you become an Adjuchas, you unlock your Cero and the Roar ability. Adjuchas can have 3 Hollow Traits, making them much stronger than Menoscars.
The next step is to transform into a Vasto Lorde. You are required to defeat NPC enemies or other players until you evolve into a Vasto Lore, with the task being to gain 70 Progress. The type of enemy you defeat determines how many Progress Points you get for this quest. Arrancars grant no points, but Shinigami and Quincies provide 10 Points each.
If you wish to evolve, you turn into an Adjucar [Arrancar], but I recommend waiting until you unlock Vasto Lorde.
Vasto Lordes can have 4 Hollow Traits in total. Before you turn into a Vastocar [Arrancar], make sure you’re happy with your current Hollow Traits. This is because you cannot change them once you evolve.
Evolving also resets all of your stats, but you unlock the ability to use your Arrancar Weapon.
No matter which form you decide to evolve when becoming an Arrancar, you are required to reach at least level 25 beforehand. At this level, you can meditate. For a successful meditation, you need a sufficient amount of EXP.
At some point, you’ll unlock your Inner World, but you can’t really do anything here just yet. Once you reach level 30-35, you gain access to the ‘Clearing the Fog’ quest. Completing this quest means you can continue with your Arrancar progression.
Follow the red eyes around your Inner World until you find your spirit, which then leads to your Res fight. There are 3 stages to complete during this battle:
Completing this fight rewards you with your Mode.
I have a full guide on the VV Ultimatum Hollow Traits, but I’ll go over how they work quickly in this guide. The Hollow Traits you equip provide stat buffs and new passive abilities, but some also grant debuffs.
You randomly get Hollow Traits as you progress, but you can choose to reject certain ones that you don’t want. Hollow Traits start to drop once you unlock your Resurrection.
The Hollow Type you choose determines your initial passives.
Your Speed increases, but in exchange, your DEF decreases.
Increases your Speed, but in return, your DMG and DEF stats decrease.
Everything’s evenly average.
You’re pretty slow, but your DEF increases.
Use Clan Rerolls to roll for a new one. You can get Clan Rerolls by consuming Clan Tokens, obtainable via a variety of methods, such as defeating enemies, redeeming codes, or as quest rewards.
