VV Ultimatum Spirit Charms

VV Ultimatum Spirit Charms are equippable passives that enhance your build with unique effects. You have 3 charm slots with a shared 3-notch capacity — exceeding the limit causes you to lose max HP. Charms come in 4 tiers: Tier 1 (no level requirement), Tier 2 (Level 10+), Tier 3 (Level 15+), and Tier 4 (Level 32+). Higher-tier charms have stronger effects but come with meaningful drawbacks. Once equipped, charms are bound and can only be removed at The Valley of Screams via randomly spawning purple portals. You can merge charms at a secret location in Hueco Mundo using Energy Cells to upgrade their tier.

  • Merge charms at the secret location in Hueco Mundo using Energy Cells to upgrade tiers
  • Tier 1 charms have no level requirements — equip them early for a head start
  • Burst + Sustain + Mobility is the most versatile 3-charm combination for most builds
  • Match charm category to your faction: Kido charms for Shinigami, Cero charms for Hollow
  • Higher-tier charms have powerful effects but serious drawbacks — read before equipping
  • Charm Rerolls are rare — save them for S-tier (Tier 4) charms

Frequently Asked Questions

Spirit Charms are unlocked at Level 96. You get 3 charm slots with a shared 3-notch capacity. Tier 1 charms have no level requirement, Tier 2 requires Level 10+, Tier 3 requires Level 15+, and Tier 4 requires Level 32+.

The best charm depends on your build. A Song of Fire and Thunder (Tier 4) is the strongest for hybrid builds. For melee, Heavenly Restriction (+35% physical) is top-tier but disables abilities. For Kido builds, Ranged Warrior + Frostwalker is a strong combo.

Charms provide passive effects with notch costs. Your total notch count across all 3 slots cannot exceed 3 — exceeding causes max HP loss. Higher-tier charms have stronger effects but come with drawbacks. Once equipped, charms are bound and can only be removed at The Valley of Screams.

Charms are bound once equipped. To remove them, find The Valley of Screams — accessible via randomly spawning purple portals in the game world. You can also merge charms at a secret location in Hueco Mundo using Energy Cells to upgrade their tier.
