How many races are in VV Ultimatum?

Current public guide sources list three main playable race paths: Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow.

What is the safest first race?

Quincy is currently the safest first recommendation for players who want a documented progression route.

Hollow progression has branch choices such as Menoscar versus Adjuchas that can limit later evolution.

No. It is just less fully documented in the checked source set than Quincy and Hollow at this snapshot.

Switching appears costly or rare in current public guide coverage, so choose as if the first race matters.

Compare the three routes by progression clarity, branch risk, and first-account fit before locking a character.

A ranged spirit-weapon route with the clearest mission ladder and a defined Level 25 progression gate.

Best for: Players who want structured missions, ranged pressure, and a target path toward Schrift and Letzt Stil.

A monster-evolution route built around variants, eating Hollows, traits, and branch choices that can lock future options.

Best for: Players who like evolution decisions, trait hunting, and higher-risk progression with powerful end forms.

A Zanpakuto-focused blade route with Shikai and Bankai-style milestones and a strong melee identity.

Best for: Players who want weapon-form progression, Soul Reaper fantasy, and close-range commitment.

Current public sources are thinner than Quincy/Hollow data.
Avoid writing permanent claims about Bankai until checked against current in-game evidence.
