If you just started Bleach Rebirth of Souls, you might feel like you’re just flashing around and swinging wildly. That works for a little while, but it won’t take long before opponents start blocking or dodging everything. Learning how to execute bleach rebirth of souls starter combos properly is what separates a player who survives a fight from one who controls it. A simple, repeatable combo gives you a game plan. It lets you build Spiritual Pressure, push your opponent into a corner, and set up your big damage attacks.

What exactly is a "starter combo" in Bleach Rebirth of Souls?

A starter combo is a short, reliable sequence of attacks that is your go-to in neutral situations. It usually begins with a Light Attack (Square on PlayStation) to confirm the hit, followed by a Heavy Attack (Triangle) or a Soul Attack. The goal isn't to deplete their health bar immediately. Instead, you’re building meter and creating space or a knockdown. This is your "bread and butter" sequence. Once you master this, you can start adding Flash Steps and character-specific moves.

This guide focuses specifically on how to execute bleach rebirth of souls starter combos with consistency. You don't need to memorize a long list of inputs right now. You just need a reliable pattern you can fall back on under pressure.

When should I use these basic combos?

You use starter combos when both you and your opponent are standing and trying to feel each other out (neutral). If your opponent misses a big attack, that’s your turn. If they block an attack, you might be able to use a specific combo string that ends with a move that pushes them away, keeping you safe.

For beginners, the best essential combos for Bleach Rebirth of Souls beginners are the ones you can do without thinking. You want to build muscle memory so that when the fight gets intense, your hands just do the right thing.

How do I actually input a starter combo? (Step-by-Step)

Let’s use a universal example that works for most characters like Ichigo or Rukia. This is a standard Bleach Rebirth of Souls basic combo sequence that you can take into training mode right now.

  1. Start with a Light Attack (Square): Press Square once or twice. Do not just mash it four times. Touching your opponent confirms you are close enough to combo.
  2. Link into a Soul Attack (Triangle): After the second Square, press Triangle. This will launch the enemy or knock them back. It costs a small amount of Spiritual Pressure, so make sure you have a tiny bit in the gauge.
  3. Flash Step forward (Circle): Immediately after the Triangle, press Circle to Flash Step toward the opponent. This closes the gap before they hit the ground.
  4. Repeat or use a Special Move: Now that you’re close again, you can restart the loop with a Light Attack or use a Character Specific Action (R1) or a Super Move (R2) if you have enough meter.

This is the core loop: Light Attack -> Heavy/Soul Attack -> Flash Step -> Light Attack. Practice this sequence ten times on each side. It is the foundation of almost every other combo in the game.

For a wider view of what’s possible, our guide on essential starter combos for new Bleach Rebirth of Souls players breaks down a few more specific scenarios like corner carry and wake-up pressure.

What are the most common mistakes players make?

Mashing Square: The auto-combo in Rebirth of Souls is often unsafe. If you just press Square five times, the opponent can block the last hit and punish you. Stop after two or three hits and use a Soul Attack.

Forgetting to use Spiritual Pressure: Your Soul Attacks and special moves cost Spiritual Pressure. If you never use it, you are leaving damage on the table. More importantly, if you let it max out, you enter "Spiritual Pressure Overload," which stuns you if you get hit. Spend your meter to attack and to use Bleach Rebirth of Souls' unique counter mechanics.

Always starting with a Heavy Attack: Heavy Attacks are slow. If you start your turn with Triangle, a good player will sidestep and punish you. Use Light Attacks to confirm your hits first.

Useful tips to make your combos hit more often

  • Use the Training Mode: Set the dummy to "Stand" and "Guard All." Practice your combo until it works perfectly. Then set the dummy to "CPU" and try to hit them in a live spar.
  • Learn the range of your weapon: Ichigo’s sword is long. Rukia’s sword is short. If you try to use the exact same combo from the exact same distance, it will fail. Move closer with Flash Steps for shorter range characters.
  • Watch your opponent’s Spirit Gauge: If they have no Spiritual Pressure, they cannot Flash Step away or use a Reversal. That is your window to extend your combo or use a heavy attack without worrying about a counter.

Your next step: Go into training mode right now. Pick Ichigo. Do the basic combo (Square, Square, Triangle, Circle) ten times on the left side, and ten times on the right side. Once you can do it without looking at your hands, try using it in a real match. Focus only on doing this one combo. Once you land it three times in a match, you are on your way to mastering the combat system.
