6 days in, seeking advice.

WhiteTiamat

So once the arena chest resets today, i'll be able to have a 5 man formation, i'm 1 day behind everyone else and i'm top 10 on a new server. My question is, i've currently been switching the gear of Ori to Momo/Nanao depending on what i'm doing and what's needed, her set is mainly WIS/AGI (level 54 btw), now once i get the upgrade, that means i'll need another set of gear. What kind of advice would you give me? Should i make a set for Rukia/Momo (PvE/PvP), or for Shin Renji when i get him tomorrow. I was thinking of switching out Sado for Renji for PvE, i would love to have more sets, but don't have the spirit stones to help them out.

Guessing my PvP formation would be something like:

Sado
Renji/Main (switch out gear with Rangiku for Renji)
Ori/Momo

and PvE:

Renji/Main/Rangiku (switch out Sado's gear with Rangiku, cuz her set has better stats to give to Renji)
Rukia/Nanao

Get rid of Orihime and start using Rangiku; even sans str stones
Your damage in PvE and PvP will be awesome with a 1-3-1
And we all know better PvE leads to a better PvP

Eventually you'll get the stones for another assaulter.  It'll be tough, but it'll help you through until 70
I maintained top 10 from:

50's-60's
sado
main - rangiku
orihime - rukia

to

late 60's
Sado
Renji - Main - Rangiku
Rukia

a little later

early 70's
saijin
renji - main - rangiku
rukia

mid rei'o guardian

mid 70's
toshiro
zabimaru renji - main - renji
rukia

post rei'o guardian

80's
toshiro
shinigami yoruichi - main
shinigami urahara - rukia


From mid-rei'o to post-rei'o
I had to absolve my renji's equipment for shinigami urahara
I had 3 assaulter sets, meaning no extra WIS stones.
So I went for a period of time without:
a weapon nor wis stones on urahara, simply because I didn't have them.  haha, imagine the lol's

But as time went on, I gained them back.
There will be strange growth spurts through your formation swaps
Just try to make the best of the situation :p

Think about what You want late game, and make preparations for it

So Ori is useless for PvP? She gets countered easily i know, well depends if Momo is in or not to stun the assaulters.

Every formation has a crux and an advantage.

1-3-1 is terrible against Momo, and 6/7/8th skill

Orihime becomes obsolete starting mid-50's due to the 5th skill.
Heal just wasn't that useful for me nor any one on my server due to how long people used the 5th skill.
You're going to have to figure out what's best for your situation and server :p
That is the strategy part of this game that's keeping it alive.

Another advantage of having a 1-3-1, is you probably won't have to move your equipment around for Ryoka, thus gaining much more exp for your main crew.
Unless you want to pop in an extra support like nanao for more dmg instead of your vanguard.


Edit:

Remove Orihime for Rukia.
Normal Atk -> Skill -> Normal Atk -> Skill
Will boost your power up in PvP immensely.

Use:
Sado
Renji - Main
Rukia - Momo

WhiteTiamat

Can anyone tell me what the Extreme/Ultimate/Great power thing is from the Ultimate BP event is?

watman

Titles you can unlock for a limited amount of time for achieving Top 1~3 in the event.

WhiteTiamat

Ah, so those are just titles, thanks.
Also: what kind of stats should i refine for Rukia's gear? Her main stats are AGI/CRIT, meaning she needs no str to do damage?
