At a glance

Open SKILLS from the radial menu, choose a category, and meet the requirement shown beside your chosen skill. Select BUY, then EQUIP if it does not equip automatically. Diving Impale requires STR 5 and costs 500 Yen; Blink Cut requires SPD 5. Higher requirements differ between shop configurations, so use your current shop's values. Racial abilities and their keys also change with your form.

HOLLOW Roblox Skills: Requirements, Prices and Equipment — illustrated cover

Browse Skills, Requirements and Prices

The directory covers five Strength skills, four Speed skills, six Kido entries and eleven racial abilities. Search by name or alias, compare the listed attributes, and open More details for additional conditions.

Strength skills scale with Strength; Speed skills scale with Speed. Their roles help narrow your choice:

  • Strength: Diving Impale supplies a forward thrust with stagger, while Mountain Splitter adds a heavy knockback slash. Fault Ripper and Executioner's Arc attack enemies in front. Blade Press takes a counter stance against the first incoming attack.
  • Speed: Blink Cut closes distance with a slash. Flower Frenzy delivers repeated frontal slashes from a planted stance. Besiege attacks from above with wind blades. Utsusemi provides an escape that leaves a protective counter shell.

Match requirements to your shop

Use the requirement set that matches the list in your game. One configuration places Mountain Splitter at STR 10, Fault Ripper and Executioner's Arc at STR 15, and Blade Press at STR 20. Another places Mountain Splitter at STR 20, Fault Ripper at STR 55, and Executioner's Arc at STR 40. Diving Impale requires STR 5 in both.

Speed lists likewise differ: the configuration with Flower Frenzy at SPD 10 lists Besiege at SPD 15 and Utsusemi at SPD 40. The configuration with Flower Frenzy at SPD 20 lists Besiege at SPD 45 and Utsusemi at SPD 80. Blink Cut requires SPD 5 in both. Match the individual entries before spending points rather than combining the lowest requirements from different lists.

Budget Yen separately

In the shop configuration with Mountain Splitter at STR 10, the listed Strength prices are 500 Yen for Diving Impale, 1,500 Yen for Mountain Splitter, 3,500 Yen each for Fault Ripper and Executioner's Arc, and 7,500 Yen for Blade Press. Buying Diving Impale and Mountain Splitter costs 2,000 Yen total. Adding Fault Ripper costs another 3,500 Yen, bringing that three-skill budget to 5,500 Yen.

Stat requirements are thresholds, not points spent each time you buy a skill. For several skills using the same stat, plan around their highest applicable requirement. Use the stat point planner to work out your allocation gap, or see PvE starter builds and buying priorities when choosing which skills deserve your budget first.

For weapon-specific release moves, use the Shikai directory or Resurrección directory.

Strength skill list showing stat requirements and individual Yen prices in the HOLLOW Skill Shop.

Buy and Equip Skills

  1. Open the radial menu and select the upper-left tree-shaped SKILLS icon. In Portuguese, look for HABILIDADES. If your interface has an upper-left crossed-swords Skills shortcut, you can use it to open the shop directly.
  2. Choose Strength, Speed or Kido, then scroll to the skill you want. Portuguese tabs use FORÇA for Strength and VELOCIDADE for Speed.
  3. Read the skill's stat requirement, scaling attribute and individual BUY price. The Yen amount at the top of the window is your balance.
  4. Select BUY once you meet the requirement and have enough Yen.
  5. Select EQUIP if the purchased skill is not already equipped. Some purchases add the skill to your hotbar immediately.
  6. Check that its name appears in a numbered hotbar slot and that its button now reads UNEQUIP.

Use UNEQUIP to remove an equipped skill from the bar and EQUIP to add an owned skill. Follow the number assigned in your own hotbar: Diving Impale, for example, can occupy slot 2 or slot 3 depending on the arrangement. Its name does not imply a fixed number key.

Kido Spell Entries

Kurohitsugi, labeled Hadō 90 when cast, produces a purple-black pillar-shaped attack. Raikōhō, labeled Hadō 63, produces a broad yellow lightning effect. These are useful visual cues for identifying the two spells in combat.

In the playtest setup, Byakurai can be purchased; a successful purchase displays Purchased: Byakurai.

Senju Koten Taiho and Shakkahō can be equipped in the playtest loadout. Both also appear in the playtest skill dropdown. That dropdown is a testing interface, not the normal Skill Shop purchase route.

Racial Skills Change with Your Form

Check the names beside R, T, C and V after changing form. These layouts vary, and the same key can serve a different purpose at the next stage.

Form or configuration R T C V
Early Bulky Hollow layout — — Roar Ground Smash
Early Winged Hollow layout — — Roar Dash Rush
Gillian / Menos layout Cero — — —
Adjuchas with Ground Smash Cero — Roar / Rugido Ground Smash / Golpe no Chão
Adjuchas with Dash Rush Cero Empty Roar Dash Rush
Vasto Lorde with Embestida Big Bomb Cero Roar Embestida
Vasto Lorde with Empurrada Bomba Grande Zero Rugido Empurrada
Winged form with Descenso Big Bomb Cero Roar Descenso
Arrancar layouts Cero Bala, Hierro or High-Speed Regeneration Depends on equipped abilities Depends on equipped abilities

A dash marks a slot without a named skill in that layout. The Descenso layout belongs to a winged form. Treat these as configurations to recognize, rather than a guarantee that appearance alone determines every skill.

What the abilities do

  • Cero fires a ranged energy attack and uses the blue resource bar, followed by a cooldown. It sits on R in the Gillian, Adjuchas and Arrancar layouts above, but moves to T in the Vasto Lorde layouts. Zero is its label in the Portuguese layout.
  • Roar / Rugido knocks enemies back and can produce a ring-shaped effect. It is useful for creating room around your character.
  • Ground Smash is a close-range area attack. Against nearby grouped enemies, it can be followed by Roar to push them away.
  • Dash Rush sends you forward, making it an option for closing distance.
  • Bala supplies a shooting attack in the Arrancar layout that has it.
  • Hierro / Ferro creates a small shield effect and reduces incoming damage. Use it for protection when it occupies your T slot.
  • High-Speed Regeneration provides rapid recovery in Arrancar layouts that have it. Check the T-slot label before relying on it for healing: other layouts put Hierro or Bala there instead.
  • Empurrada is a pushing attack. Embestida and Descenso are separate V-slot labels; do not treat them as interchangeable names for Empurrada or Dash Rush.

Changing to Arrancar can remove the old Roar and Dash Rush labels from C and V. For the steps that lead between forms, follow the Hollow evolution guide.

Use Bomba Grande

With the Vasto Lorde Bomba Grande / Big Bomb loadout:

  1. Check the ULTIMÁTICO meter beneath the skill bar. Wait until it reaches 100% and Bomba Grande lights up.
  2. Face your target and press R.
  3. The meter empties to 0% as blue energy gathers into a large area explosion.

Use the blast as an area attack and be ready to follow up against surviving enemies.

Locked Skills and Empty Categories

LOCKED: Compare your allocated stat with the requirement beside the skill. Having enough Yen does not satisfy a stat requirement. For example, STR 2 is below Diving Impale's STR 5 requirement; SPD 0 is below Blink Cut's SPD 5 requirement. Allocate the needed points through Stats, then return to the shop.

NO SPEED SKILLS AVAILABLE or NO KIDO SKILLS AVAILABLE: The category currently has no skills available in that interface. Empty Speed lists can occur during an early Hollow visit, and empty Kido lists can occur as Arrancar. The message alone does not tell you to change race or evolve. Check the other categories for available purchases and use your current racial abilities while planning your next upgrade.
