VV Ultimatum Schrift Tier List
Superstar leads the Quincy release meta as the most consistently recommended Schrift. Heat is the safest beginner pick.

Here is the full ranking with the build context to help you choose before you unlock Schrift.
Schrift tier list
| Tier | Schrift | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Superstar | All-round pressure | Most consistent top-tier mention across sources |
| S / C | Thunderbolt | Burst damage | Severe source conflict — test before rerolling around it |
| A | Necromancer | High-ceiling play | Powerful but reported bugs and complex setup |
| B | Heat | Beginner-friendly pressure | Safest pick for new Quincy; reliable and pairs well with Letzt Stil |
| C | Dimensional | Teleport utility | Often ranked near the bottom; pressure output is low |
| C | Blademaster | Sword release | Mostly outclassed by weapon + Letzt Stil routes |
Schrift breakdown
| Schrift | Style | Key mechanic | Build pairing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superstar | All-round | Strong consistent damage kit with multiple usable skills | Any evolved Spirit Weapon; Speed + Reserves for sustain |
| Thunderbolt | Burst | Lightning-type burst damage — high potential ceiling, inconsistent reports | Speed-heavy Quincy; get current patch data before building around it |
| Necromancer | High-ceiling | Summon-and-sustain kit; high complexity, high reward | High Reserves; needs practice to reach its ceiling |
| Heat | Safe pressure | Fire-type damage with predictable hitboxes | Any Quincy build; best entry point for new players |
| Dimensional | Teleport utility | Short-range repositioning kit | Speed build; gap creation at cost of damage pressure |
| Blademaster | Melee release | Sword-style release form | Strength + Hakuda; currently outclassed by pure Letzt Stil routes |
Which Schrift should you pick?
If you want the best-in-slot result: Superstar. It has the most consistent consensus across early-meta tier lists and no major weakness in either PvP or PvE content.
If you are a new Quincy: Heat. It works immediately out of the unlock, pairs with Letzt Stil naturally, and does not depend on combo discipline or specific Spirit Weapon builds.
Key conflict — Thunderbolt: Do not reroll specifically to get Thunderbolt without checking current patch performance. One prominent tier list rates it S; several others rate it C because of hit registration inconsistency. It may be a strong pick or a frustrating one depending on how the patch currently handles it.
Necromancer note: The summon kit has a high ceiling but reported bugs in early June 2026. Worth watching, but budget time to learn the complex rotation before investing in a pure Necromancer build.
