Who is better? Byakuya or Kenpachi?

[email protected]

I am Vip5 and lvl 76, Im literally saving to skip a whole tavern to get a jump on better Partners.
I have two forms so i can work around certain Fights.
Best and current: 1-2-2:  Yachiru, Main, Renji, Orihime, Rukia
secondary: 1-3-1: Yachiru, Main, (was matsumoto, i switch from matsumoto and Ichigo), Renji, Orihime.

however i do wish to get IKAKKU since i hear hes also good. so add that on to the list.

Im going SUPER low on this so i can get a relly high jump when i am lvl 80. Saving every gold reishi, yadda yadda.

It would be great to know who is good for what. I also hear that ZabimaruREnji is weaker than the tavern Renji by a large margin.

When you reply i REALLY dont understand what the actual parts of PVE and PVP really mean, i know its used a lot and i want to understand what that really means game wise.

Im debating over (having and/or keeping) Byakuya or Kenpachi for the Assulter jump. Who would be better when i reach LVL 90

ikkaku is your number 1 priority right now.  so get him before anyone else.  next, for PVE i'd get kenpachi if you need a 3rd assaulter for events.  byakuya is good for PVP, but i've heard many people say they like their tosens better.

tavern renji is better than 1st swp renji, but lacks a bit behind soo renji in PVE.  zabimaru renji is an upgrade over tavern renji, though.

PVE events are ES and Ryoka, which it's better to focus on partners who deal tons of damage.  this is the most important part of the game, as this is where you will get the bulk of your XP and silver.  PVE also applies to things like tasks, hollow soul, etc.  it's more or less you vs the computer.

PVP is where you fight other players.  it's arena and hueco mundo as well as guild wars and protect seireitei.  here it's better to focus on crowd control such as stun, disarm, void, fury reduction,etc.  it's more speed and strategy based unlike PVE which is brute force.

If you want strong pvp I'd prefer starting with Yoruichi, she gives support stunn which can turn the fight in your favor, another support is Urahara, which can be gotten at lvl 80 who provides pvp and pve attributes. Vanguard is personal preference but overall Komamura works well. At lvl 80 Ikkaku works amazingly as pvp and pve assault, not too much in pvp, and I personally have Byakuya for pvp but my main is kido so he is just balancing it out. I dislike Tosen because with him you need to prioritize speed which is needed for supports and main. I figured and skipped Kenpachi and got swp Pantera Grimmjow for pve, who works well for that.

Overall my team is pvp Yoruichi - Gin, Main - Byakuya and Komamura for pve its Rukia - Urahara and Main - Pantera Grimmjow - Ikkaku. I think its not about the best team, I think its more about what do you want out of your team. So it depends on your main and what you can afford having, lvl 70 gold partners aren't bad, some of them are actually pretty good for f2p.

Yoruichi is great support stunner and lasts for a long while with being so fast, Komamura is just tank who takes all damage. Ikkaku and Kenpachi both just deal tons of damage to the vg which isn't the essential thing in pvp, so there are other assaults such as Tosen and Byakuya. Urahara is just basic support that everyone should get and at lvl 100 Stark is offensive vanguard, I'd love to have him but getting mods is pain and Gin is amazing support which is the reason I didn't get Harribel at lvl 70, since he is multiple times better.

All in all I think Yachiru with a lot of dodge and health can stay as an amazing vanguard, Rukia works in pve but Renji, Orihime, Matsumoto and Ichigo are a bit bad with horrible stats and every gold partner destroy them. For swp I think it's either Hyorinmaru Toshiro (upgraded one) and/or Pantera Grimmjow. Those both will make you saw in gold but will consume time and aren't the same as their counterparts Gin/Harribel and Kenpachi/Ikkaku.

What better partners. There are no better partners from anywhere if they are not event partners from  the tavern ones except swp aizen ( later ultima) and nozarashi ken (swp ken sucks) ans csb partners. All other are just waste of resourses. Lvl 70 komamura and yoruichi, 80 ikkaku and urahara (maybe byakuya), 90 unohana, 100 gin and starrk, 110 all of them.

Save your silver for lvl 80, and then start gathering reishi cause you get more gold reishi once you hit lvl 80. There's no way around things, and no swp partner is worth the while except the mentioned ones, theyr skills don't work in hollow soul, and that's enough to make them replaceble, which is a big deal since bond and evo had been enliseted.

im saving up so i can get two peeps at once and all that.
im definately getting ikkaku. for sure. I was going to get Komamura... but i felt that be somewhat of a bad thing after someone told me that nnoitra is slightly better. so im on the balance of my new vanguard.

Best choice is to rush one, getting 2 at once is waste of time since you'll lose modification and experience days.

Ah~  I see.
I was also told that tosen was terrible to byakuya.. but im not sure exactly why... I mean. It seems like the problem is how they react in pve and pvp. Byakuya in pvp and Tosen for Pve? I think.. though i know i might be wrong on that. With the rate im going and where im at in the game i was frequently told to do Kenpachi/Ikakku and then probably Komamura as van.
supports were Rukia and yoruichi. If it gets to that.... i think that would work for at least

I really want to get all the high-end chars but im not super rich at the moment, but i would honestly get Toshiro if i could i hear hes really good.

Tosen and Byakuya are both for pvp, if you have kido main then I prefer Byakuya, if not then you could just go for Ikkaku and or Kenpachi.

And Urahara is must have, in pve you'll use Urahara + Rukia supports, boosting fury isn't  the best in pvp tho.

ah~ Thank you very much~ this is good information!
Indeed, im planing on getting Ikkaku/Kenpachi since i can readily got the two. then in the end Byakuya.
i did hear though that tosen was lacking in some part of his stat with Byakuya... i may have to cheak that out soon.
indeed. even though ZabiRenji seems really nice. I think i will pass on that.. it seems many dont use him due to how slow he possibly is compared to TavRenji.... Im not sure how to go about it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING.. i was having a hard time understanding the terms, as it was crucial to making decisions about my Picks.
