You can change divisions in Type Soul, but only before you lock in your first choice

Type Soul is a Roblox game where you pick a division — Soul Reaper, Hollow, or Quincy — early on, and that choice shapes your abilities and playstyle for a long time. The game does let you change divisions, but the window to do it is narrow. You have to reset your character before you've committed to your first division by leveling it up significantly or spending resources on division-specific upgrades.

Once you start investing in a division through leveling, skill points, or items tied to that path, changing becomes much harder or impossible without a full character reset. The exact point at which you lock in varies slightly depending on what you've done, but the safest rule is: decide quickly, or plan to start over.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change divisions only in the very early game, before you've leveled your first choice or spent resources on division-specific items.
  • Once you've invested in a division through leveling or upgrades, you will need to reset your entire character to switch.
  • A full character reset sends you back to level 1 but lets you pick a different division from the start.
  • The three divisions — Soul Reaper, Hollow, and Quincy — have different ability trees and playstyles, so testing early is worth the time.

Resetting your character to pick a new division

If you've already leveled your first division and want to switch, a character reset is the only path. This wipes your level, skills, and division-specific progress but lets you start fresh with a different choice. You'll return to level 1 and can pick a new division when ready.

The reset command or menu option is usually found in your character settings or through an NPC in the main hub. Check the game's settings menu or ask in the community Discord if you can't locate it — the exact location changes with updates. After reset, you keep your account and any cosmetics or items stored in your account inventory, but your character's level and skills are gone.

Why the early-game window matters

Type Soul's divisions are not cosmetic — they unlock different ability trees, stat bonuses, and combat mechanics. Soul Reapers get sword-based moves and spiritual pressure, Hollows get raw power and regeneration, and Quincies get ranged attacks and precision. Picking the wrong one early means either playing a style you don't enjoy or resetting later when you've invested hours.

The game doesn't force you to commit when ready, but it also doesn't hold your hand about when you've passed the point of no return. Most players figure out their preference within the first 30 minutes to an hour of play. If you're unsure, try one division to level 5 or 10, see how the abilities feel, and reset if it's not for you — the early levels go fast.

What you lose and keep in a reset

A character reset clears your level, skill points, and any items you've equipped on that character. Division-specific gear and weapons are gone. However, items stored in your account bank or inventory — cosmetics, currency, or items not tied to a specific character — usually stay with you.

Before you reset, move anything you want to keep to your account storage, not your character's inventory. The exact rules depend on the game's current version, so check the patch notes or ask in the community if you're unsure whether a specific item will survive the reset.

Testing divisions before you commit

If you're torn between divisions, the best approach is to level one to around level 10 or 15, get a feel for the abilities, and then decide. Early levels are fast, and resetting at that point costs you very little time. You'll learn whether you like the playstyle, the ability animations, and the stat distribution before you've sunk serious hours into the game.

Watch gameplay videos of each division in combat too — seeing how Soul Reapers, Hollows, and Quincies play in PvP or boss fights can help you decide without having to level all three yourself. The community is active, and clips of each division are straightforward to find on YouTube or the Type Soul Discord.

When you absolutely cannot change divisions

If you've reached a high level, spent significant resources on division-specific upgrades, or unlocked rare division-locked items, resetting becomes a real cost. You lose all of that progress. At that point, changing divisions is technically possible but practically not worth it unless you're certain the new division is what you want long-term.

Some players keep multiple characters on the same account to avoid this problem — one Soul Reaper, one Hollow, one Quincy. If the game allows account-wide storage, you can share resources between them. This way you can experience all three divisions without losing progress on your main.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change divisions without resetting my character?

No. Once you've leveled a division, you must reset your entire character to switch. There is no mid-game respec or division swap. The only way to avoid a reset is to change your mind very early, before you've invested in leveling or items.

Do I lose my account items when I reset?

Items in your account bank or account-wide inventory usually stay. Items equipped on your character or in your character's inventory are lost. Move anything you want to keep to account storage before you reset.

How long does it take to level back up after a reset?

Early levels go quickly — most players reach level 20 or 30 in an hour or two of play. The grind gets slower at higher levels, but if you're resetting early, you're not losing much time. Later resets are much more costly.

Can I have multiple characters on one account?

Yes, most Roblox games allow multiple characters per account. This lets you try different divisions without resetting your main. Check your account settings to see if character slots are available or if you need to purchase additional ones.

What if I reset and then change my mind about the new division?

You can reset again, but each reset costs you the time you spent leveling. If you keep changing your mind, you'll spend more time resetting than playing. Pick a division, commit to level 20 or 30, and only reset if you're truly unhappy with it.
