Here's a rundown of Shindo Life Bloodlines, ranked by tier for effectiveness in PVP and PVE combat.

– S-tier Bloodlines include Kamaki Akuma/Inferno, prized for strong damage reflection, rushdown offensive moves and heavy damage reduction in its final form, plus a useful AOE combo starter early on
– Ashura-Shizen also ranks highly, offering major damage reduction via its buddha statue form and powerful ranged attacks that track, stun and drain opponents
– A-tier Bloodlines, such as the Taijutsu-focused Kenichi variants, are noted as generally less flexible and requiring more specialised playstyles
– Recommended methods for levelling Bloodlines include AFK autoclicking at the Training Log, farming green and orange scroll quests, grinding War mode (ideally with friends), and using a Bloodline's dedicated mode where available for easier progression and passive experience gain
