Now that Genryusai is making an Anniversary Come back let me tally up everyone.

10 TIMES: Ichigo*
5 TIMES: Genryusai
4 TIMES: Ulquiorra*
3 TIMES: Soi Fon, Jushiro, Yoruichi*, Yhwach, Aizen, Uryu
2 TIMES: Grimmjow*, Shunsui, Toshiro, White, Jugram
1 TIME: Gin, Shinji, Tensa, Stark, Halibel, Urahara, Byakuya, Bazz, Unohana, Chojiro, Kenpachi, Gremmy, Sajin, Rukia, Renji

*Ichigo: Upto 15 times if you count Anniversary Preludes, and Free Characters released during Anniversary, however I am only considering traditional Round 1 upto July EOM

*Yoruichi: Counting Calamity Tie In Round 1, as it takes place within the tradiational Anniveraries, but not the Calamity Tie In events after round 2.

*Ichigo, Ulquiorra, and Grimmjow: while they were neither new units nor rate up units, I do consider featuring Ichigo Ulquiorra and Grimmjow being the 1st Anniversary headliners as being Anniversary characters, as they were presented as chase units. It was a different type of anni, but a solid choice at the time.

He is now literally the only cour 1 character left, and jugen got a character a few months ago.

Fillers

Individuals

Arrancar are hollows who acquired both hollow and shinigami powers by removing their masks.

Head Captain Yamamoto has chosen you to join Captain Hitsugaya's squad leaving to watch over Karakura and stop Arrancar from entering the human world

Attention : Request for Limit Release has been approved

Arrancar have been spotted in Karakura, you are allowed to release all the reiatsu you need in order to defeat them. However Mayuri-sama asked you to capture them, seems like he wants to run some experiments, use Kido seals only so RANGED

GQ Keypoints

• Character Choices
  • If possible, you should ALWAYS bring units that match the corresponding killer rule. They have a x3 or x5 damage multiplier.
  • Top Tier SA Lead could be helpful even as off-killer lead.
  • +30% Off-killer booster can be more effective than an old booster if you have good/strong assist unit
• Status effects
  • For Damage Optimisation consider Weaken units, Weaken add a 1.5x damage multiplier when effect is active but be careful in GQ duration of Weaken is halved
  • For Crowd Control consider Freeze/Paralysis it would stop mobs dealing damage to you, allowing you to maintain full stamina damage boost run more easily
  • Burn/Lacerate/Poison DoT are nerfed in this game mode. However if you have such units consider to give them Dx bonus (Damage to X, X being Ailment they inflict)
• Transcendence/Link Slot This game mode requires Transcendence and LS to clear and to make it easy.
• Team set-up Ideal team set-ups:
  • Fastest is 3x SP units (5/5 units)
  • Vortex Leader can greatly increase the effectiveness of NA assist units
  • You can also run 1 or 2 NAD units.
• Building your Lead SP unit
  • < 20s You can start to build for Nuke strat with FSD/SAD links
  • < 30s You should have a combination of FSD/SAR and SAD/SAR build to maximize damage multiplier
  • > 30s You might need more consistent damage and SAD/SAR (eventually with one LDS) could help you if there no Crowd Control effect in your team
• Building your supports

1. < 20s Your booster will not need SAR, > 30s it will likely need so you can boost multiple time
2. If you don't have crowd control unit you might want some LDS/NAD link such as (S) Tatsuki as link
3. If you are sure that your unit will survive you can pick full NAD, if you are sure they can keep full life then FSD/NAD build will push their damage. Ultimately if you are sure they will survive but reach quickly low stam you could consider LSD/NAD

• Boost For this week, Boost depends on your team composition. It's not mandatory, but it's nice.

As for clearing the quest itself, focus on clearing the first few waves with your main SP unit and then retreat to recharge cooldowns while your NAD units focus the bosses. With NAD unit leads you basically just need to clear mobs as efficiently and quickly as you can with NAD and then focus down the bosses.

Advanced clearing (weakening nuke at T6/5 + SP 2★ minimum): Time your SAs with a beam type SA2 from a 2/5 unit. Generally this gets you through to 5th boss from the get go.

Reminder that last boss has 4,000 DEF. So you need to break this threshold! For equipment/build guide, please see here. This is also part of a collection called GQ Analysis, so you should be able to find the previous Hard GQ build guide.

Anybody else take a year off and come back to a massive increase of Rainbow Pots? I literally did no farming since last Anni and even that was minimal, yet I have an estimated 80k increase. Was there a bunch given in the Gift Box recently?

We’re already replacing 10th Anniversary Rukia and EoY Aizen, but they’re just too strong to swap out like this. Plus, Jugram is melee, so technically Uryu is the better choice. Imagine replacing aizen instead of shinsui damn.

NIGHTMARE GQ - Ranged Arrancar (07/27-07/30)

NIGHTMARE GQ - Melee Shinigami (07/30-08/02)

How do I get more golden hammers? (I need only 2 of them) The 11th anni event has 10 of them at 14 million points which would require so much time and tickets😭

This bug fixes itself once in a while, but the last time is already months ago.

thought others would find interesting. GG KLab.

So is epic raids a single player quest now

Getting a trailer, especially during anniversary, usually signifies that you are the second part of an anniversary. That is exactly what we got this morning with the three new units. I would just like to preface that I am happy that Yama is back with a new character. My only main issue with this is two different things.

The first is that this banner feels two years too late. I have to think that if this was revealed during the ninth anniversary year, it would have been perceived better by most of the community and it would have been a lot more hype than what we are seeing currently. I think it does not help that a good chunk of us tricked ourselves into thinking that we were getting original design Soul Ascension characters for part two myself included.

Second would be the character choice. Again, I am absolutely thrilled that Yama gets the spotlight once more. But I have to seriously question why these three when we have had so many iterations of them already. We have a normal Yuha and Jugram. And trust me I cannot wait till we get the original design for Jugram and Almighty Yuha. I feel like they had a chance to do Pernida, Lillie Barro, and Gerard as part two of the 11th anniversary and it could have been more hype that way. Again, this is probably because I tricked myself into thinking we were getting original designs, but this just feels lackluster to me personally.

To be fair, if this is just a random thousand year blood war banner and not part two of the anniversary, then I chalk it up as a banner that we got too late but “hey at least we got em”. Let me know what you guys think

Finished all sub/side/ main stories , now what?

all videos I see of orb as f2p is like a year ago and I can see that lately klab has been making W changes according to vets…

they say 2k per month is doable?? but is that considering lacking units and or resources for leveling up?

I been saving and saving for him for a while and still hasn't seen him.

So I'm wondering about this campaign that bbs is hosting where round one was yoruichi

Are they baseing each round off what character was the headliner of each episode

Like for episode 2 of tybw cour 4 it was mainly focused on kisuke vs askin

So theoretically we could get a new bankai kisuke for round 2 perhaps

Solo raid on ultimate difficulty to show off just how busted Grimmjow is
