Type Soul’s relaunch brought some new content to the game, and one of these was a whole new skill tree. Naturally, we were curious, given your skill tree choices are something you can and will be judged on. We put together this Type Soul Rendan guide in an effort to tell you everything you need to know, as well as give your take on if it’s worth trying.
Type Soul Rendan Guide
Okay, first topic is how to get it, then we’ll touch on the moveset. Finally we’ll talk about whether it’s good.
How To Get Rendan
To use Rendan, you need to invest Skill Points (or SP) in the Rendan Skill Tree in the Inventory/Menu (open it with N). If you’ve invested your SP into a different skill tree and want to go back on that, you’ll need a Blue Elixir which resets your skills, turning all your skills back into SP which you can reassign. You can also use Red Elixirs to give yourself a few extra SP, though it caps out at 10SP from two elixirs.
You can earn Elixirs from raids, and from redeeming codes. (There are plenty of those.)
Rendan Moves
Here are the current moves available in the Skill Tree, and more or less what they do. We’ve also included a section on the Skill Box moves available for Rendan, too.
Skill Tree Moves
These are the ones unlocked in the inventory screen.
Manifold Blitz – 18SP
A flashstep followed by an uppercut weapon swing that will throw both you and your opponent into the air.

A forward dash then weapon swing with knockback, throwing your opponent backward and briefly causing ragdoll.
Austere Resolution – 25SP
Two forward slashes followed by a grab move that throws the opponent forwards.
Grapple – 30SP
While in the air, grab your opponent and kick off them, leaving them in the air, ready for you to follow up with a combo.
Evince – 35SP

Headhunter – 40SP
An overhead slice with next to no wind-up, throws your opponent upwards.

The moves below are available as Ultra Skills.
Closing Performance

Is Rendan Good?
If you’ve been around the Type Soul community, you’ll probably be kind of used to some players throwing their hands up and declaring everything they lose to as OP and broken and needing a nerf etc etc etc. Hating other skill trees is a key part of the Type Soul experience. That said, Rendan does bring a genuinely good skillset to the table. It lets you move around fast, get hits in without a lot of telegraphing, and in skilled hands you can haul your opponent around like a plastic bag caught in a breeze. We’d say if you like the idea of a highly manoeuvrable air-heavy fighting style, any you have a couple of elixirs on hand, you should give it a try and see how you go. Some PVPers will hate you, but y’know, if you were a Hakuda user you’ll be used to that. (I am also a Hakuda user, this is friendly fire.)
