In TYPE://SOUL, accessories are not just cosmetic flex pieces, they’re what make the difference between barely surviving and absolutely bullying the leaderboard. I’ve tested a bunch, traded for some rare ones, and even missed out on a few limited codes (pain). So in this guide, I’m going to walk you through what’s meta right now, what I personally run, and what’s still worth grinding for, even if it means making deals with people who hoard old event gear.
Best Accessories Guide (Hell Update / Future-proof)
With the Hell Update, we got a shake-up in stat caps, new race bonuses, and a few hints that more accessories might be on the way. The devs teased gear drops from Hell bosses/NPCs, but those still aren’t here yet — meaning the current meta is a mix of limited-time bangers, code exclusives, and solid stat-stackers you can still grind for.
This guide covers every slot — head, torso, neck, emblem, arms, back, legs, waist, and shoulders — along with trade value notes, stat goals, and my personal picks. Doesn’t matter if you’re Quincy, Arrancar, Fullbringer, or Soul Reaper — I’ve got options for every race and build.
Meta Picks Right Now
If you just want the TL;DR top gear list for defense builds, here’s what I’d grab:
- Body: Haunted Nightcloak (rare, god-tier) > Mark of the Dead
- Head: Soulfire Halo > Spectral Crown
- Face: Cursed Hood
- Arms: Berserker Wraps
- Waist: Strongest Tail
- Misc: Creed Emblem > Shinsei Emblem (Ranked BP — now the best in slot)
- Ears: Revenant Damon > Windy Elf Ears
- Extra: Memory Pin
If you hit 440+ HP with 15%+ defense, you’re set for ranked. If you’re chasing full optimization, aim for ~474 HP and 22% defense — anything higher is just flex territory unless you’re running Overkill builds.

Looking Ahead
We’re still waiting on Hell NPC/boss drops, and Battle Pass rotations will 100% shake up the meta again. If you don’t have the limiteds now, don’t stress — solid substitutes exist, and new gear always comes in waves.
Wrap-Up
Accessories in Type Soul aren’t just stat boosters — they define your playstyle. Whether you’re going for bulky defense, meter control, or balanced survivability, the gear you choose changes everything.
If you’re sitting over 440 HP with solid defense, you’re already ready to win fights. Everything beyond that? That’s just you flexing. Up next, if you’ve been wondering how to unlock Devil Trigger the easy way, we’ve got a full guide for you. It’s insanely broken and meta right now, so trust me, you don’t want to sleep on it. We even included all Devil Trigger crit variants so you’ll know exactly what to expect for your build.
