How to beat espada 3?

KelisTormoris

Done it at 280k bp, lvl 81.

Sajin
Main/Ikkaku
Rukia/Orihime

Used Anti stun skill, made sure that Ikkaku was faster then main so he also had anti stun at all times. If he went after he generally got stunned before it refreshed. Was Reitsu 32 at the time

actually, I did notice that was happening, but didn't think of why it was.

KelisTormoris

Yeah, i sat for a few fights studying how best to set up when not having the ability to stun them. That was the most approprate change i could make to get the win. Made a huge difference

ty for the time saver, I did notice that w/out orihime, sajin would die and it's game over from there

I did it with a chad/main/renji/rukia/ikkaku 4th skill

If you  can't hit them, reforge your gear on +HIT and add be sure to have full HIT rank 3 stones, at-least, so that your hit goes up to 140%+

After that use 4th skill to avoid stuns.

You'll also need Yoruichi to win the last Espada 3 fight against Harribel, because unless you stun the enemy supp, you can't win.
Without yoruichi it is also doable, but you will have to grossly overgear them.

Doesn't have to be grossly overpowering them. Just need some thought into it.
As stated, I done it with the same (and even less) BP than people that had Yoruichi.

Steps I took.
1) Make sure Ikkaku(or other assaulters) faster than main.
2) make sure main is faster then the enemy
3) make sure orihime is SLOWER then the enemy
4) use anti cc skill.

Of course this means you need decent damage and a decent vg. And following these steps you could do it easier with yoruichi but most with her dont put thought into steps to make it easier

Ikkaku going before main means he has the stun defense up all the time (assuming main dont miss)
Main going before enemy means he able to get the stun defense up
Orihime going AFTER enemy means that she heals the Vanguard AFTER he taken damage.

Orihime will only get 1 heal of in the fight most likely unless she loaded on hit stones, hence why i have her go after the initial attacks. 1 missed attack and she would have healed for no reason then be stunned.

By doing so you get at least 1 extra round before your VG dies. Yes you may need some lucky crits to do it at this lower bp but it doable. I admit I was lucky, I won the fight with my support 1 hit from death, and the enemy to attack first. Only the enemy support was left, and they were on <1k hp. And at that point my zunpukto attack activated and won me the fight.

If i remember right my BP was in the area of 281.5k

edit:
I believe I was using Kazeshini, however it possible I was using Kogujo Tengen as I was swapping between the 2 trying to see if defensive or attacking zunpukto was better. Kogujo certainly helped survival alot and with Sajin buff there was a few attacks doing very little damage

I have around 150% hit , lvl 5-6 hit stones on main. But in solo harribel loves to dodge and block. The problem is 5v5 now, but my crew can't survive the entire time, I can kill their vanguard but by then it's just my assaulters

KelisTormoris

Your focus would be your VG then to give your assualters longer to do  the job. Could just be you need to wait to get hit stones upgraded. Early on it was hit stones and dodge (still is dodge unfortunately :p ) that i always got from boxes/ryoka so i rarely missed attacks on harribel.

How many more rounds you think you need to win?
At one point I was actually stuck due to lack of damage, was funny. Think it was the 2nd fight of the espada 2 tower. My guys would survive to the end of the 20 rounds, but unfortunately so would they. Only thing i could kill was the VG. Now that was annoying ;D

my team usually dies, Orihime, ikkaku then yoruichi usually in that order. My main is actually a lil bit tankier than my sajin from all the strength stones I have but lacks on hp
but in terms of turns, probably 5 more to kill their assaulter wave and then it's just easy from there
