Ryoka and Evil Spirits : How to become the God of Damage

artinfection

Catchy title , you gotta give me that . Well let's get started .
-Why do you need to become the god of damage ?

First of all , lets say that silver is your very best friend in this game . Evil Spirits will make you a millioner and Ryoka , after a certain time of improvement can give you even more silver than Evil Spirits do . Ryoka can also provide you with a lot lvl 3 stones and souls .
For those reasons maximizing your damage output ic crucial !!!!!

Lets talk about strategy !!
-Formation : Your most ideal formation for Ryoka and Evil Spirits is 2-3-0 . But the most important part is not that only , it's about getting a much damage as possbile from every single member of this formation .

Non Vip Players : Your ideal formation if u are under 80 level is : Momo , Rukia , Renji , SWP partner(Renji or Grimmjow),Main
Reccomendation -> I suggest you keep all your Hueco coins and spend them to get Grimmjow , who's available for recruiting after level 65 . If you are hasty you can get Renji but I assure you that Grimmjow is way more worth it than Renji. As for what partner you will be using untill you reachlevel 80 , that's up to you .


If you are under 90 and over 80 your ideal formation is : Rukia , Kisuke , Ikkaku , Main and SWP Grimmjow . If you went for Renji its actually bad for you at this point since tavern Renji with mod 3 is actually waaaay better than SWP Renji in terms of flat damage


Now , over 90 level your ideal formation is : Rukia , Kisuke , Ikkaku , Main , Kenpachi . So Kenpachi is your last member for the perfect lineup !!!!

Vip players : Your ideal formation under 80 level is : Rukia , Nanao , Renji , SWP partner , Main . Same rec for SWP partner as above . Untill you get your SWP partner the job is easier for you , since you have a fabulous Rangiku ready to crit for some nice damage
For then above 80 levels your ideal team is the same as that of the Non Vip players .

Special Partners : Special partners worth buying for Damge purposes are Sexy Yoruichi , Shinigami Yoruichi and Dark Rukia . I am sure there can be more but those are the cheapest out of them

CAUTION! You have to make sure that in any case your supports attack faster than your assaulters , and the fastest among your assaulters has to be your main . This will lead to the best damage output

-Spirit Stones : Things are more clear here . The Spirit Stones you have to aim for is : 1) Strength and Wisdom 2) Critical 3) Block Rate 4) Hit Rate and Break Def

Str and Wis will provide you with some sweet damage

Crit will amplify that damage by a lot (Try to get Triple Crown Title , plus 20 % critical for your assaulters is MONSTROUS)

Block Rate is REALY important . You get a chance to deal flat unfiltered by defences damage 3 times every turn . You need to make 3 Block Rate sets for your Assaulters for that reason . I know its difficult , but believe me its worth the time . Your damage output will be boosted by a LOT

Break Def and Hit Rate will allow you to deal your true damage without any blocks or dodges by the Ryoka or Evil Spirit . This is for advanced players only

So to sum it up , you need to make a total of : 5 critical sets
                                                                         3 block rate sets
                                                                         3 strength and 2 wisdom sets if you have Ph. Damage main
                                                                         2 strength and 3 wisdom sets if you have Kido main

CAUTION! I highly reccomend you take off every dodge stone from your assaulters since you dont want them to dodge instead of block

Fury Stones: Yeah now its the time to speak about the Famous T1 , meaning using your skill at Turn 1 . Why do that ? BETTER damage output ofcourse , cause you are going to use your skills more times and get your buffs going from the first turn . I am not goin to get into details about how many Fury Stones you need and how to get them . If you are into that strategy you have to know that you will need to pay a lot to get them or wait until then next Reio Event comes to get them cheaper . There are many threads explaining the actuall way to get them .

-Zanpaktou and Reiatsu : Your best free option is Zabimaru , which you can get at Reiatsu level 35 . I have to point that at level 40 Reiatsu you can make your Zabimaru Hogyoku-kai , for greater damage BUT you have to get rid of Nanao in case you get Hogyoku-kai Zabimaru before getting Kisuke . You 'll have to use some other support in her place cause her skill is going to overwrite Zabimaru's Buff . Rememeber that well

Now for Reiatsu things are simpler . Higher level , Higher Damage

Special Zanpaktou: Sogyo no Kotowari is the best option if you have Dark Rukia . Remember to use 8th skill if you go for that strategy . Other zanpaktous you can buy can work well too , but I am not the best guy to explain them since I dont know their stats well , cause I dont plan on getting one .

-Skill choice : 9th skill > 8th skill > 5th skill > 2nd skill . Meaning that according to your progress in soul map you have to use first 2nd , then 5th , then 8th and in the end 9th skill . BUT we have a big exception here . In case you went for SWP Grimmjow and got him before you got Ikkaku for best damage output follow the next 3 steps .First make him a monster , tons of str , crit , block and break and give him t1 if you went for that strategy . Second put your main bot and Grimmjow mid . Third use 8th skill . This way Grimmjow is gonna use his skill for at least 2 more turns , and with high str crit your damage is gonna go WAY up . More worth than using 9th skill . After you get Ikkaku proceed in using 9th skill . I call that one Cero-machine gun

RANDOM TIPS !!!

-Ikkaku can use his skill more times than Zaraki with some crits from Rukia and Kisuke , leading to better damage than Zaraki . So make sure u give Ikkaku your best stuff

-If you are Physical Damage main pass the best str , crit , block stones to Ikkaku . Just give him all the damage and he 'll do the rest


-Modified Renji and SWP Renji are better than Rangiku in terms of damage . SWP Grimmjow is the best out of them


-3rd mod is CRUCIAL for : rukia , renji ,kisuke and Ikkaku (his 4th too but 1 step at a time)


-If you are non Vip player whenever you enter into battle with the Ryoka or Spirit , immediately refresh and join again fast . You will win more than 10 secs every time you do that , leading to more attacks in total . In case you can one shot Ryoka (with low hp) , waiting is a better option , and waiting can prove worthy if you get the kill in under 70 seconds


-Aiming right at Ryoka is important , but sniping all event long can make the others mad and they will start sniping too . This will lead to dead end , with no one entering at all waiting for the "idiot" to gift them a kill . Trust me you DONT want that situation to happen


-After killing an Evil Spirit immediatelly join the others too .  Make sure you attack both others(if possible) at least one time for the first attack bonus (It goes over 1 m silver after some levels )


-At 54 wave ( I am not sure about the number) you are going to need a Vanguard , to survive and kill the Ryoka . Best option is Shin Shura Kenpachi from SWP .-Consider gathering Grimmjow coupons even after you get him , so that you will have 150 untill level 100 , the damage of Pantera Grimmjow is better than Kenpachi's !!!! At that point getting better damage , getting more silver , becomes realy hard if you dont pay a lot to get special partners and stuff , so make sure you go for that upgrade ASAP . Pantera Grimmjow deals 8-10 % more damage than Kenpachi which is huge if you think that the base damage is really high at that point

-If you are Ghost Blade main and have Ikkaku(mod 4) and Zaraki for best damage output give your best gear to Ikkaku , the next best gear to Zaraki and finally the vanguards gear(the one with the least damage usually) to your main . Yeah , your main will give 9th skill's buff for 1 less turn but the overall increase in damage is better
-8th skill is better when you have combo assaulters , Sexy and Shini Yoruichi , Ishin . Credit to ajoalex for mentioning

-8th skill is also better for realy high levels , when assaulters have realy high base damage and critical .

I hope all this was helpfull . I am waiting for some feedback in the comments , feel free to ask or point anything you want and remember that getting your best "Ryoka lineup" faster than your best "VP lineup" is more worth it cause of all the incoming silver increase you will achieve , leading to better reiatsu , getting partners faster , leveling them faster , modifying them faster and fortifying their stuff faster .

Nice guide.  I use momo, rukia, renji, rangiku and main for ryoka but after 10 minutes i have to put vanguard on because my server has about 4OP players so the ryoka waves go faster.  im 80 now, and i have 150 coupons which i can buy from SWP.  Should I get SWP grimmjow? or get SWP toshiro.  Also I have 750 gold reishi which was tough to get.  Should I get ikkaku or get kiskuke? I really need to get more silver from ryoka because it's impossible in spirits because the 4 OP players beat all 3 spirits in 6 minutes. Getting silver is my number 1 priority

Getting silver means doing more damage , so i would suggest grimmjow . Try to gather the rest coupons needed to upgrade him until level 100 . For the tavern I suggest getting Ikkaku first . Ikkaku must be your first priority . Even before getting grimmjow . The reason is that you need to start gathering his mod fragments , cause he is a beast of damage . His 3rd and 4th mod are SUPER for more damage in ryoka . But i would suggest that you start in a new server and make a good start , cause a server like that you describe is not healthy for newer and weaker players . Even if you get to do more damage the incoming silver will still be low , cause of the top players getting all the rewards . If you go with that option make sure you read a guide about how to lvl up fast , and generally strategy guides from the forum , so you can get way better before starting a new account .

What about Kenpachi at Level 90? Wouldn't he be better than Upgraded Grimmjow or Ikkaku? I know it's a long way to 90, but it's tough to get the necessary silver for gold janken, specially when i'm modifying my gear and increasing reiatsu, so if I can get a tavern player I want to be sure it's the right one, or necessary one that will last me for a long while.  If I get grimmjow, who should he replace, rangiku or renji? Renji is tier 2 modified.   I've considered going on a new server.  The reason is that the top 2 players of my server are top 3 in cross server. It's a very OP server, but I've worked so hard to be 80. It's very competitive.  Luckily they aren't always there for ryoka,so that helps a bit, but they're always there for spirits, except for rank 3 player who's always there for every event .  Before server merge I was ranking 5 in ryoka and 3 in spirits, now I'm 12 in ryoka and 9 in spirits so I just skip spirits.

If you read the whole guide , you should understand . Mod 4 Ikkaku>Mod 4 Kenpachi and Pantera Grimmjow > Kenpachi . So my advice remains , get Ikkaku asap

damianoso3

wll i use ikaku,ken-chan,my main,ukitake and urahara and deal over 40mil after 54 wave, still not enough to kill but i am satisfied
