Strongest VG?

KilluahZoldyeck

So , all the time I thought TS Ichigo is the best Vg , doesnt matter how you look at him.
Now I´ve been told , the best PvP team is Ichibe , Senju , Hiki , Nimaiya , Main

Maybe someone can explain why this set-up is the *best*

Well for one, the cost of Hiki + Ichibei + Niyama together is the same as just TSI.

Well , lets say , Gold doesnt matter , I just want to know which is the best pvp set up and why

I have both tsi and ichibei. I use ichibei exclusively. Tsi is mostly an offensive vanguard, whereas ichibei is an extremely defensive vanguard. The way the game currently is, there's really not much point in offensive vanguards at the upper level of gameplay since every other partner is easily faster than they are. Ichibei easily get better stats, his hp especially is incomparable. His skill is entirely focused around making him difficult to kill.

I like that answer
I never reached high lvl , just wondering about things ...
So , Ichibe is the best VG bcause he is tanky AF?
Lets say , you start a new account , lvl 1 , new server , day 1.
You have to choose , Ichibe / TS Ichigo , consider you will be [normally] the strongest , great distance.
It takes a long time to reach high lvl [I´ve heard so]
So , who would you choose for the first months , or longer [Without thinking at Evo etc]
Just simply who would help more in the first few months

At early game surely TSI.
Since his skill is every usefull and not much player have a good counter for a stacked shinji(lvl 70 tavern aoe partner). All they do is attack him and hope they kill him  before he attacks.
Ichibe is good for mid lvl or late game, where you will face alot of soul palace bosses.
and also for high survivability in certain csb or hme.
TSI is like an all out Brute Force Formation. thou he can cc but people don't get him for that, since most partners have immune to silence as an early mod.
Ichibe on the other hand, well he is good around.
If you stack him up like a stark his attacks are aoe and pretty good and if i actually build him right  then he will never die, due to healing factor.

More or less like choosen btw Hollowed Ichigo and Stark.
TSI is stark and Ichibe is Hollowed Ichigo/Komamura.

So , it would not be a waste to go with TS Ichigo in the first few months , maybe 4-5 , in that time focusing at other partners , and then get Ichibe and concentrate on him?

Ichibei is amazing for early game as well as late game. His amazing tankiness means that you'll pretty much never have to worry about dying in early game, and by the time you reach late game he'll have leveled up alongside you.

You are correct that it takes a fairly long time to level up. However if you establish yourself early as the dominant player on your server you should be able to level up fairly quickly. My recommendation is to make a solid pve formation so as to assist in leveling yourself up as quickly as possible. Ichibei will help you a lot in getting through the hollow soul map fights, which will help set you up for an overall stronger team much quicker than most people.

Man , your answer sounds so professional , I have to believe you´re right

So , Ichibe as VG is the best way ..
So what do you think about pvp?
I mean , as I now know , lvling takes a long time , so it would be better to focus on Pve a long time , right?
Buuut, I do not really want to buy 2 whole teams , so could you suggest 1 pvp team [ignore cold costs]
And a pve team where i dont have to switch out many partners , probably only 1 or 2
Thaaanks

And btw , did I just watched a yt video from you?
