Profile Update

Kisuke Urahara (Bankai) joins Bleach: Soul Resonance as an SSR Support character focused on improving Slash teams through Ultimate damage amplification, Defense reduction, and additional damage bonuses. His biggest strength is how efficiently he fits into team rotations, providing valuable buffs without demanding too much field time. However, his final release numbers are noticeably weaker than initially expected, particularly when it comes to his damage (it was just too strong on the leaks).

So, what do we have now? His Ultimate applies a substantial damage boost, while his Mod Enhancement mechanic provides an additional damage increase to the team’s attacks with very high uptime. This makes him particularly valuable for characters like White Ichigo and Kenpachi, who can take advantage of his buffs to improve their overall damage output. His rotation is also relatively straightforward: use his Technique, generate the three Mod Enhancement stacks, switch characters, and return when his enhanced Special Attack becomes available. He can then use his Ultimate and quickly cycle back into his Technique.

Unfortunately, Kisuke’s personal damage is underwhelming compared to what was originally showcased. His Ultimate multiplier was heavily nerfed before release, significantly reducing his damage potential and making him less impressive as a hybrid Support/DPS. His second Boundary, which provides Defense reduction, is arguably his most valuable upgrade, while the remaining investment offers more modest improvements.

Overall, Kisuke is a worthwhile upgrade for Slash-focused teams, especially those built around White Ichigo, Kenpachi and the upcoming Ichigo Vasto Lorde. However, his value is less convincing for players running exclusively B0 characters, as much of his showcased damage relies on heavily invested teammates. B2 is a reasonable stopping point if you want to maximize his support potential without committing to B6.

Bankai Kisuke has established himself as an excellent—arguably the best—support unit for Slash-type teams. While his other version remains functional for general team compositions, this new Bankai iteration truly shines within a Slash team. This is especially relevant given that a dedicated Slash-type DPS unit is all but confirmed to be on the way, making it highly recommended to include him in your lineup.

+ Pros

  • Provides an additional damage bonus with excellent uptime.
  • Strong Defense reduction at B2, improving team damage considerably.
  • Excellent synergy with Slash teams.
  • Straightforward rotations with very little field time required.
  • Offers Ultimate damage and Crit DMG buffs for the team.

− Cons

  • Less impressive for players running B0 teams.
  • Requires sufficient Ultimate Charge Rate to maintain smooth rotations.
  • Not exactly a global support.
