A brand-new update in Sakura Stand has introduced the Soul Reaper Spec, and players are already grinding to unlock it. If you’ve seen players using flashy sword attacks and referencing the “Soul Society,” chances are they’ve unlocked this new spec already.
This guide will walk you through how to get the Soul Reaper Spec, including spawn chances, required tools, and farming tips.
What Is the Soul Reaper Spec?
The Soul Reaper Spec is a themed ability set inspired by soul-hunting sword styles. It comes with unique animations, special moves, and fits into the game’s supernatural category of specs. It was added in the latest Sakura Stand update alongside the Asen spec.
Requirements to Unlock Soul Reaper
To unlock the Soul Reaper Spec, you’ll need to defeat specific enemy types while using a specific weapon.
Step 1: Equip Demon Slayer Initiate
You must be using the Demon Slayer Initiate weapon/spec when farming the required kills. This is essential — the Soul Reaper will not drop unless you are holding this.
Step 2: Defeat Hollows
You need to kill specific types of Hollow enemies, each with different drop rates for the Soul Reaper Spec. Here’s a breakdown:
Hollow Drop Rates:
- Regular Hollow: 5% chance
- Menos: 50% chance
- Jushiro (Juusia): 30% chance
These drop rates mean you can technically get the spec by farming basic Hollows, but your chances are significantly higher if you target Menos or Jushiro.
Quick Farming Tips
- Focus on Menos if you want the fastest farming route, as they give the highest 50% drop chance
- Make sure your Demon Slayer Initiate spec is active before the kill lands
- You can team farm, but you must be the one to land the final hit while using the correct spec
- Keep track of your drops — the Soul Reaper spec is a random drop, not a guaranteed unlock per kill
The Soul Reaper Spec is one of the standout features of this update. It’s relatively simple to unlock, but the drop chance means you’ll need to put in some effort — especially if you’re only fighting regular Hollows. If you’re already using Demon Slayer Initiate and farming in the right areas, you’re well on your way to unlocking it.
