Shibuya Sorcerer Grades and Grade Exams

The grade ladder and how to sit an exam

Last checked Nov 11, 2026Shibuya guide team

Quick answer

You climb sorcerer grades by passing Grade Exams at the red phone booth. The panel shows your current grade and the next exam you can enter, in Free For All or Gauntlet mode. Grades 5 to 3 are mostly about hunting and containing curses; at Grade 2 you become eligible for your cursed technique and exams become the main way forward.

The ladder on the panel

shibuya.wiki reads the panel ladder as 5 (05), 4 (04), 3 (03), semi-2, 2, semi-1 (01), written in kanji. Only that one source lists it, so we haven't confirmed whether there are grades above it.

BloxRant describes two phases: Grades 5 to 3 are fastest through hunting and containing cursed spirits for Soul Ignites, and from Grade 2 pure grinding slows down and exams are the priority.

Tips

  • Don't enter an exam until you can parry.
  • Four examinees were mentioned for the first exam.
  • Dying costs more at higher grades, so get ready before Grade 2.
