STARRK IS A BAMF - Hollow Map Complete!

Actually your success doesn't give me too much hope since you have Hyorinmaru, who doesn't happen to be free... If you had used Kazeshini or Zabimaru then perhaps...

Congratz Meek, I'm interested on how you beat the Solo fights of Aizen's 2nd and 3rd winnion. Did yo ...

Yes, I used Starrk for all of the solo fights.  I actually did not beat him in his final 1v1 (vs. Aizen himself).  I got him as low as 20%, but due to the extremely high hit rate required, I opted not to beat him 1v1 and focus on winning a disadvantaged 5v5.  At 305% hit rate my Starrk hit Aizen aprox. 60% of the time, I would have needed to invest into 1, possibly 2 more lvl 9 hit stones (my Starrk had all lvl 9's or 10's).  That would have allowed me to beat 1v1 aizen, and then easillllly beat 5v5.  However, there is absolutely no need to have 315% hit rate for any other PVE or PVP, so I would have spent thousands of coupons for an additional hit stone or two, and they would have been worthless as soon as I won.  Wheras all the work I put in to beat Aizen 5v5, most of that work was invested in dmg/defense/hp on both Starrk and my main, therefor it is all still useful and relevant, so I wasted nothing.

A tip I self-learned and found useful, is remember that stun chance level based.  1v1 fights that you can be stunned in suck, so I found bringing Starrk to my max lvl helped tremendouisly avoiding being stunned.  My max lvl for Aizen was 122, it was 120-121 for other fights.

Starrk destroyed the other solo fights of Aizen.  I believe I had somewhere in the neighborhood of about 1.6m BP when I beat those two fights, but more importantly then my total BP was my Starrk's BP, which was around 610k-625k BP.

Hope that info helps some.

whats your bp? so i know around when to beat him?

My total current BP is between 1.9m and 2m.  But that isn't really that important.  For the most part, 3/5 of my team was worthless.  I needed my main to survive so he could debuff their assaulter line, I needed Retsu to heal, gin to stun, and kisuke to push fury....I did not really care about kisuke or gin's stats, their skills did no damage ever, and their speed didn't matter, so basically you could subtract 500k from my BP and the outcome would have been exactly the same.  Retsu stats did matter a little bit, I needed her damage (aka her heal) amount to be decent enough, but even she relatively didn't count.  And as for my main, I only needed him alive to debuff....all the BP and stats that matter were on Starrk.  (relatively speaking, the Aid/Combo rates of my other partners helped some as well, but those stats give almost no BP gain).

My main BP was around 280k and Starrk's was around 630k...so that is a little over 900k.  I would say, if you balanced your power and strength strategically into the right partners and were utilizing the same strategy as me, you could beat 5v5 Aizen, with disadvantage at around 1.1 - 1.3m BP

how'd you beat executioner?

Same way I beat everyone, honestly, dump a ton into Starrk and watch him murder everyone.

You know, let me offer this up to inspire a bit of hope there.  You are correct, Hyorinmaru is really the only thing I have that you can't get for free, unless you happened to get it in UBP.  I missed that UBP, it wasn't until 2 UBP's later that I figured out you could save vit to get free stuff from UBP.  However, I was able to buy Hyorinmaru for $10.  His price was lowered so much during Reio, that during a really good reio combo events, I topped up twice, got a butt load of gold, and had a little bit of luck in reio janken, got was able to get Hyorinmaru for next to nothing.

However, lets say you are truly 100% F2P, and that you can't even top up $10 for whatever reason.  Keep in mind, I finished Aizen, without using any reward from my 18,888 coupons 1 year sign in reward.  If I would have waited and did that, and used my viso revenge reward and selected a lvl 10 STR treasure, and then use my stockpiled hogu talismans to level it up (and even F2P and stockpile talismans from many events including SA), then I could easily boosted my Starrk's defense and damage through the roof.

Someone could do all of that all while remaining F2P.  So yes, I could have easily beaten Aizen without Hyrorinmaru, should I have chosen to wait and use Viso rewards towards beating him, I instead opted not too.  Hopefully this gives a little bit of additional hope.

I will say, I did experiment some with Zabimaru and Ashisogi, nice thing about Ashisogi is his DOT damage ignores defense, but ultimately they just didn't give me what I needed.

I think its nearly impossible to beat aizen f2p with vg heavy team. I personally have supportheavy team so your method doesn't work for me. I think its just overall how you build your team and what you can afford to have for boosting it, for example you had vg heavy team and so Hyorinmaru's low damage boost didn't affect your Starrk too much, instead it made him even stronger. Maybe support heavy team would do better with such as Muramasa or so. But f2p zanpakutos are pretty iffy.

:p

Lol that is a bit deceiving.  My normal BP is around 1.80 million, I spike it up about 150,000 for CSB and HMA.  One thing about not having a balanced team is your stats drastically change when you move things around.

As for my arena rank, I normally sit at #6, I am capable of holding #4, but partially due to being lazy and not wanting to move things around (I do GW/ES/Ryoka's etc. with my PVP setup lol), so I often get bumped, and don't really care.  The only time I do arena is when I need to finish daily tasks.

There was a time a few months ago (with the same ppl you see in that BP Ranking Screenshot) where I was not even in the top 10 BP, but I was #3 in Arena, consistantly, for awhile.

For Gin, I know I used Kisuke/Starrk/Main, and I believe for the 5v5 I used Gin/Aizen (tavern).  As for level, I believe I was level 120 on my main, Starrk and Kisuke would have also been lvl 120, and Gin was around 115 and Aizen was exactly lvl 105.

Strategy was to lock down everyone I could, so that Starrk's self heal was > their damage output, and for him to kill them before they killed him.

Thanks man =)

You are definitely right about the BP no mattering, so to speak.  I could have put on lvl 50 gear on my Main, Kisuke and Gin and the results would have been exactly the same, and that would lower my BP by half a million at least I'm sure.

The only real BP that mattered was Starrk's.  And as you very well know there are things that give little to no BP that make HUGE differences, like Fury stones, Aid Rate/Combo Rate etc...
