F2P Partner Choices 60+

iceon32

Hi everyone ,
im currently level 65 at my server and currently run nemu rukia main renji and sado for PVP and swap sado for ichigo ( yellow from the 7 days event ) in PVE
I would like some help into deciding what partners should I aim for next .
Currently I'm collecting grimmjow coupons and will probably be able to get him around lvl 70-75 ( i mean the SWP Grimmjow , not upgraded )
I was told to skip lvl 70 tavern since there are no good choices and to save up gold reishi to buy Urahara and Ikkaku from lvl 80 tavern .
So my main idea is to swap nemu for swp grimmjow once i get him and run rukia grimm main renji and sado in both pvp and pve until i get urahara and swap sado for urahara in PVE but i have doubts about what should i do with the pvp formation once i get urahara since i don't feel confident about running a formation without a vanguard this early into the game and also there will be ikkaku coming after urahara so im really in many doubts on who to switch and who to keep in .
Thank You for your help

Red Ikkaku imo Beats panthera to the punch, yes its true panthera has high damage with 100 fury rege ...

Thanks for the advice .
I plan on getting grimm first and replacing him with nemu ( since nemu is useless and i already have 80 coupons from grimm ) and later plan on getting ikakku and kisuke and will be upgrading them both to red since i have around 2.3k of red reishi stored up .
My concern is that once i get ikkaku ill have too much choices to make , grimm ikkaku kisuke and renji all in there , so im planning on keeping kisuke and rukia as my supporters row , but am in a crossroads in what to replace and what to keep for pve , i have already invested in renji will have purple evo soon and already tier3 mod , grimm seems like he does quite damage but as you said is greatly outclassed by ikkaku in terms of stats and pve power , so what do i do get grimm and keep him until i get ikkaku and replace grimm with ikkaku or replace renji with ikkaku . How does grimm stand compared to renji ?
Thanks
Edit : My current Zanpakt. is Kazeshini and will get Zabimaru today hopefully will take zabi to hogykai release in about a week and as far as i know he stacks well with renji so thats why i'm in some doubts .

combine kumamura with kokujo tengen myo.. fortify to lvl 10 kokujo and modify Kumamura. So kokujo will give him 10% def every round, kuma have 20% natural phys def and give himself 30% def for 3 rounds.. 6 star gives him 5% def per round and 7th 3% def per 10% hp loss. his evo will give him block and more def. kokujo gives 30% hit/dodge so in early stages dodge will be useful, but kumamura will be like a wall

Red Ikkaku imo Beats panthera to the punch, yes its true panthera has high damage with 100 fury regen but he takes lvl 100 to actually upgrade before that cause of the raw stats and gold/Red hogu alone ikkaku will be doing more damage in PVP and PVE cause of his stats and the equipment thing isnt that big of an issue as you just need to carry a spare spirit blade weapon which is not that hard to carry as even most f2p players would be upgrading to ultimate gear by the lvl 100 radius and before that using lvl 70 or 80 Spirit forged spirit blade isnt that hard you just need to put some str and block stones from van on it.
As for the byak vs Ikkaku argument Ikkaku is generally better for f2p for the longest time  as byak needs his lvl 50 excsluive skill to outright shut down ikkakus damage to such an extent that justifies his EX skill which can take an f2p a super long time while ikkakus PVP based EX skill is better that byak the only thing byak wins at is death mod which is useless in PVE and has its uses in PVP.
For an f2p the mindset up to lvl 100 should be main PVE focus just enough PVP focus that you can occasionally clear CSB rows and keep a decent spot in arena.

Edit:I recomend you get ikkaku before kisuke as the damage boost from ikkaku would be superior thanks to Rukia already givivng fury and kisuke as a second partner will work even better with Rukia cause ikkaku can skill each turn if either two of the three(ikkaku,Rukia and kisuke) crit giving boosted fury just use momo as a temp support up untill you get your hands on kisuke.

Ultimate team for me would be:
PVE- Shinso-Shura Kenpachi-MC-Muken-Holow Ichigo(Starkk)
PVP-Shunsui-Jushiro-Muken-MC-Starkk(Noitora)

BUT!!! Considering all thing you nedd to achieve (collect,time to do it) and UBP gives awesome partners last 10 times ( Hiki,Demon,Brenji,Hisagi,Kensei,Ichibe,Tensa),all this shit is irrelevant,only things that matter really is what YOU WANT! Remmember,that at the end,account is YOURS and YOURS only,to do with it what you want.
NOTICE: teams that i recommended earlier are cretated from partners you can collect 100% FREE! Hiki like partners are great for sure,but there are no guarantee that there will be repeating of,for example Hiki in UBP again....sure you can rent some decent partners in Carnival event,but you'll need some time before you own it permanently,think about all this. See you in forum

Just get fucking byakuya, cuz he is monster in both pve/pvp. His exc.skill for pve,and in pvp cuz of his death mod. Dont listen those trash advices
Get kisuke ofc,if you cant stack F1 -> (100% rage fury for one partner),Kisuke just need 6x primary fury stones,which you need 12 basic fury stones. Then try your byakuya to have like 75% fury rage.

I would rather run Red ikkaku then grimjaw mainly use Grim only in pve swaping out with sado.

Grim uses a different weapon than any vang, requiring more resources to make the swap, plus grim has fury regen, mods for easy T1, has lacerate, and gets out more raw damage than ikkaku does, plus if this cat ever tops up anything he can upgrade grim to pan grim who wipes the floor with ikkaku unless you are running a lot of red hogus...   Plus at level 80 kiuske will be the first purchase, leaving. Lot of grinding for ikkaku, while he is already grinding for grim

1. open Soul cult. and ToT
2. PVE focus (need ryoka farm otherwise you will not have silver)
PVE: Ikkaku, Grimmjaw, Rukia/Ukitake, Kisuke  as you already advised (Ikkaku restore 25 fury, enough is another 25 from Kisuke, but if Rukia and Kisuke take a critical attack, you can recover 75+, think yourself how best)
3. save vitality to UBP
4. go to church and pray for a good partner in UBP
