What Are Vows?
Vows are permanent self-imposed restrictions that grant large stat buffs in exchange for a matching penalty. You can equip up to 3 Vows at once. Removing a Vow at the Vow Altar costs a heavy chunk of Mastery.
All Vows
| Vow | Buff | Penalty | Race |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vow of Silence | +20% ability damage | Cannot use voice chat emotes | All |
| Vow of the Blade | +15% melee damage | -20% ability damage | Soul Reaper / Fullbringer |
| Vow of Isolation | +25% solo XP gain | Cannot join Divisions / Clans | All |
| Vow of the Hollow | +30% regeneration | Cannot heal via items | Hollow / Arrancar |
| Vow of Precision | +25% ranged damage | -30% melee damage | Quincy |
| Vow of Endurance | +40% max HP | -15% movement speed | All |
| Vow of Burst | +50% Reiatsu burst damage | -25% HP | All |
Recommended Vow Stacks
PvP Burst (Quincy / Soul Reaper)
- Vow of Burst + Vow of Silence + Vow of Precision (Quincy) or Vow of the Blade (SR).
- Glass cannon; ends fights in 2-3 openings.
PvE Solo Grinder
- Vow of Isolation + Vow of Endurance + Vow of Silence.
- Fastest Mastery gain for players without a clan.
Hollow Regen Tank
- Vow of the Hollow + Vow of Endurance + Vow of Silence.
- Nearly unkillable in 1v1s outside of burst windows.
Tips
- Don't take Vow of Isolation if you rely on Division buffs — you lose all of them.
- Vow of Burst + Blut Vene (Quincy) compensates for the HP loss.
- You can swap Vows, but the Mastery tax hurts — commit.
