Type Soul’s relaunch brought some new content to the game, and one of these was a whole new skill tree. Naturally, we were curious, given your skill tree choices are something you can and will be judged on. We put together this Type Soul Rendan guide in an effort to tell you everything you need to know, as well as give your take on if it’s worth trying.
Type Soul Rendan Guide
Okay, first topic is how to get it, then we’ll touch on the moveset. Finally we’ll talk about whether it’s good.
How To Get Rendan
To use Rendan, you need to invest Skill Points (or SP) in the Rendan Skill Tree in the Inventory/Menu (open it with N). If you’ve invested your SP into a different skill tree and want to go back on that, you’ll need a Blue Elixir which resets your skills, turning all your skills back into SP which you can reassign. You can also use Red Elixirs to give yourself a few extra SP, though it caps out at 10SP from two elixirs.
You can earn Elixirs from raids, and from redeeming codes. (There are plenty of those.)

Here are the current moves available in the Skill Tree, and more or less what they do. We’ve also included a section on the Skill Box moves available for Rendan, too.
