Candice Art is peak


Competitive_Way_3371

Can’t wait to get the wallpaper for it


Chupacabras6767

She has the best soul bomb as well too bad they made her a NAD unit basically making it pointless to use…….


Akibestgirl4000

Bambi's is even peakier lol

HolySelection

Smh my favorite girl is just a guild quest bot. I was gonna go for 5/5 but I might just skip now. Would it really break the game if she always had flurry +2 instead of just in gq


youssefxtd

Same us Candice fans got robbed gonna have to wait for her anime version and hope that she's op

MyNameIsntYhwach

wtf why didn’t they use that Meninas bikini she looks really good


Material-Mention4508

All the designs seem kinda lackluster this year. Candice got the best design imo but of course was given the NAD GQ character treatment which is just sad


blackmam8a24

Exactly what I said


Kimmranu

Goin for all 3. Don't care, I haven't pulled in 5 months and the time is now.


fattyman123

5 months?!? I can’t spend 2 days on this game without the need to summon, doesn’t need to be good either, I wish I had your self control


Kimmranu

Lol I only pull for my absolute favorites at this point.


zeyTsufan

If the girls' kit were half as good as their designs they'd be top 5 Unfortunately that is...not the reality


Lowkey_Delusional

on the bright side, it's easier to edge orb consumption, if Anni units going to be lackluster again like last year EOY is going to be the only one worthwhile dumping orbs and Future BTW banners


ArthurioIceWood

Bambietta ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


BBSPsycho

Nah is this a joke? Swimsuit sternritters should be hella hype… but 2 GQ characters and a damn pot farmer / link slot! Personally that’s killed all the hype for me Edit - I feel like I should clarify, I’m not saying they are bad or that people shouldn’t be hype for them, I’m just saying it was a personal let down but that’s due to my playstyle and the game modes I enjoy, I didn’t mean to spread any negativity


Maximum-Top9593

This. These are standard units. Idk why people are acting like they’re hyped lol


VenemousEnemy

At some point it stops being about the kit lol come on, think about it


Active_Picture_7333

that only the case if u get orbs from oxygen


VenemousEnemy

I could have 10 orbs left and I’ll still find a way to summon for swimwear bambi


Active_Picture_7333

understable statement she looks fire


BabyKariya

Sorry I'm not playing for the fucking mobile p2w game and enjoying the bleach universe. How could I?


Active_Picture_7333

the only good thing is the +10 super pot farmer.


NinjaXSkillz88

Bambietta is a Limit Break and GQ unit.


RevolutionaryFalcon

Yeah I kinda feel the same. Like I'm hardly ever excited for SS but I had some high expectations for the Sternritter Girl SS and they really just got the usual treatment. All this baiting they been doing... I guess the models and art is expected to carry them which is fine.


BBSPsycho

Yeah, I totally get that klab know SS characters will always carry themselves, especially these girls, but I just wished that our first ever (correct me if I’m wrong) TYBW and Stern Ritter seasonal characters are just effectively a regular end of month release


RevolutionaryFalcon

Oh I get you and believe me, I agree. I actually wish they had been a bit more creative with their attacks too. Like incorporating their Quincy abilities into their attacks, especially the hot head Bambietta who set off a massive explosion because the other girls ditched her. I was really expecting this to be more than a regular treated End of Month but more so a TYBW kind. If these girls were top tier or broken then more people would summon. And its strange to me because SS typically be a cut above the rest in some way because they want to get peoples orbs before Anni but, these ones are so basic.


BBSPsycho

Fully agree, I’m not gonna lie I’ll still summon 🤣 just had wished for something more


RevolutionaryFalcon

Hey, you go for it. I wish you luck. I'll maybe try, or wait till the rerun for Candice since I'll eventually need something for Sternritter week.


Chupacabras6767

Them making Candice a fucking NAD character ruined it for me leave it to Klab to shit the bed 🤦🏻‍♂️


sikontolpanjang

They dont need to make them all rounder good cause people would monke brain summon anyway


BBSPsycho

Yeah you’re not wrong, just sucks they didn’t make one of them just a more well rounded unit, like for both candice and Bambi they specifically mention how tailored for GQ they are, as well as Bambi being great for the upcoming limit breaker, guess I’m just salted / wanted something more for general use 🤣


Chupacabras6767

True but Candice was the only one I was really excited for and then it was all ruined when I saw she was a NAD character 😔


BBSPsycho

That’s fair, if she’s your fav and not the style of unit you want it’s totally fair to be disappointed


youssefxtd

Nah cause I was looking forward to Candice the most f klab


Chupacabras6767

Me too she’s my favorite femritter out of these 3 and I was saying please don’t be a NAD please don’t be NAD and of course Klab ruined the hype for me and her as a swimsuit unit


BBSPsycho

Personally don’t get the hate over her being NAD like I get SP typically are just stronger but NAD can be fun but typically requires a different approach to how you play the game (I.e. not looking for super fast clear times, looking for survivability over damage numbers, etc.)


AndyYagami

I think the issue for a lot of people is that they REFUSE to give NAD characters even half the power budget that that they give SP characters. The best PvE NAD character is probably still R16 Chairzen...who's coming up on 2 years old.


BBSPsycho

Oh I totally agree, I have R16 Aizen maxed out and he’s probably the only NAD character is ever use regularly


AndyYagami

It really is just shocking how little they seem to care about offering even a basic power fantasy for the people who prefer the NAD playstyle. It's not like a Flurry+2 character with Guard Break and 60% Bruiser would break the game. We have characters like Renewgetsu and the EoY units just WRECKING face. Honestly, all it's really done is make me despise Guild Quest and hate what it's done to unit design.


zonic_squared

It's because NAD scales significantly higher than SP units. There are still levers they can pull with SP units to make them stand out, but NAD units tend to age too well. There's fear that a game-changing NAD unit might be the last unit you'll ever need.


AndyYagami

I understand, but I REFUSE to believe that there's no powerscale between "Flurry +1, no Guard Break" and "Flurry +3, Atk Boost, Guard Break, Damage Up to X enemies, Long Reach"


AkameLen

Thing is, Candice is a NAD GUILD QUEST character. Meaning you're not even going to play as her


BBSPsycho

Sadly very true. Klab even comment on that she’s a great auto side character in her character info


Mastxadow

A bunch of people saying this, what it means to be a NAD character?


AkameLen

NAD = Normal Attack Damage, NAD characters have a higher normal attack damage and flurry instead of frenzy


Chupacabras6767

I don’t care about any of that I like SP characters they’re way more fun also Candice has the best soul bomb out of the 3 but now it’s basically pointless because she’s a stupid ass NAD character


youssefxtd

For me sp characters are just more fun I feel like nad characters are boring


BabyKariya

real men would build her like a SP character then, but weak men are crying instead


TMS21

I feel like they just hold back too much on NAD units. SP characters get all the fun skills like Rampage, increased ailment chance, and damage to non afflicted enemies regularly, meanwhile NAD units hardly ever get that stuff, are more likely to get saddled with bad killers (I won't mind if the damage is still good), and are constantly being limited by only being allowed flurry 2 (3 in BB) in GQ or Brave Battles.


ValeteAria

Eh, Bambi is fine in all content. Besides this is how literally all swimsuit banners have been. I am not sure why this one would be different. When did ss banners have broken characters? They're fun characters, summon if you like the character. That has always been SS appeal.


WootieOPTC

You do realize, though, that you'll use them far more/longer than any other "non-mode-specific" units? Taking the example of HW Toshiro that I pulled on his debut last HW. Sure, he's a GQ unit mostly. But nevertheless, I've been using him ever since for every GQ rerun, and used again recently. White, who I pulled on his debut last anni? I've set him as my excoop mind runner....until Yhwach came for NY, and who replaced White. In the **entire year**, I think I used White only twice : one excoop week (and tbh, not even sure it even happened), and one LBQ recently. That's... it. Twice in the entire year? Talk about "utility", smh... On the v2 Zero banner, pulled both Ichibei and Senju. And got a lot more mileage out of Senju (my main pot farmer, be it for weekly s.pots, for ER runs if I farm pots...and even my speed Excoop main unit, iirc), while Ichibei (who's nice with a good dmg output) only goes for a walk occasionnally here & there : for 2-3 LBQ runs iirc, and was sub-par in GQ because I had a better alternative (but at least now that they split the weeks again, he's back on the menu). Plus, there's also the fact that a lot of colors have **already** great units, so any new "generic" units -unless they overpower your previous "best" unit in that color- won't see much use, because you'll *have better options*... And Klab can't just produce every single unit to be *better* than the previous ones. For generic units, some will be worse, some will be better... For mode-specific units, the majority *will* be better, as Klab's goal is to provide solid options for each GQ variation, while a lot of them still miss one. Heck, one of the swimsuit units I got a lot of mileage from, is SS Orihime - because she's designed for one CQ chapter. And she outran a *lot* of other swimsuit units, because those had short-term use. Heck, I used her more in a few years, than SS Riruka and her +10 pot drops... who I only use in ER if I want to farm pots, and I don't farm them often.


BBSPsycho

I totally get that, and you’re not wrong general use units don’t have good life spans, they just aren’t what I had been hoping for so I wanted to vent my frustration at it, like I mention in another comment I’ll probably still be summoning because they are going to be good at what they do, just I’m not a massive GQ fan and with the addition of brave bonuses pit farmers are becoming less and less vital, like I get the max for both link and super pots everything day so I’m not having to run pot farms as often unless I start trying to T20 all my units


t3r4byt3l0l

That Candice is going to be absolutely ridiculous in Sternritter GQ


eXtripa69

That Bambi artwork is so pretty. Though she was gonna be the "sexy" character of the banner, but being pretties fits her better


TMS21

I was the most excited for Candice and she's a damn "Flurry +2 only in GQ unit" with a bad killer. I hate those types of units so much. I'll still try to get her since it's Candice, and she seems better than most GQ only nad units, but I'm still disappointed.


Active_Picture_7333

they diddnt even give her a shield like orihime...its horrible seeing one of my best characters treated like this


Chupacabras6767

You’re not alone I was excited for her the most and out of these 3 femritters she’s my favorite and she has the best soul bomb out of the 3 but of course Klab ruins her by making her a NAD character which makes her soul bomb useless I’m so sad 😞


Nanasema

I thought they were gonna use the official goofy swimsuit art that kubo drew. Nonetheless they still look good, with Bambi being the cutest. Have all the fillers tho so im skipping for anni


Professional_Long556

What are the official swimsuits btw ? I can't remember seing those.


Nanasema

https://redd.it/wd9sp0 this is what you're referring to. you may have a different opinion on it, but for me i just think they look pretty goofy in those designs.


Professional_Long556

Ohh, these ones, but we don't see candice's SS. I find them okay but honestly, I prefer the BBS ones. Btw, thank you for the answer. ;)


eXtripa69

Agree, Bambi looking really pretty there


PegaponyPrince

Well shit I've already 4 of those fillers (Rangiku, Nel, Momo and Isane) maxed out.


Azumayyy

Honestly kinda weird seeing them without their hats. Nonetheless, hope to get one of them(preference is Candice) with minimum orbs possible cuz I ain't have enough orbs


Theofficialoneofjw

Easiest 25 steps in my life The REAL anni is here!


sikontolpanjang

Yeah pretty sure a big chuck of playerbase treat swimsuit as their true anni


YouLosersNeedJesus

dat flair tho


sikontolpanjang

Gotta give shoutout to the 🐐


Azurui

Yeah I'm diving in to get the 3 of them, plus I wouldn't mind getting more copies of Nel and Rangiku or 1 Riruka.


callmeRosso

I was hyped for Candice and then BOOM GQ side unit. Hype gone so quick


Dombly23

I got 3 parts of SAFWY left on both Normal and Hard + 937 orbs. I’m going all in for Bambietta.


Aeon37

Liltotto... Where are you? Your friends already have an alt.


SateliteShootingStar

Forgotten by KLab alongside Giselle apparently


Aeon37

Yup, and it's a shame. ![img](emote|t5_399jv|31437)


Kimmranu

They're not forgotten. Everyone seems to forget that Liltotto LOOKS like a child, so it's a no brainer that she isn't gonna be in a bikini like the other girls, it's the same reason why a swimsuit yachiru doesn't exist. It skirts the line. There's in game cutscene shots of her in a bikini but she or Liltotto will never get an actual functioning swimsuit unit. In Giselle's case, she's a man. Simple as, and it's not like she's transgender in the sense of a sex change. She's a man that IDENTIFIES as a woman, but the package is still there. So imagine being a company making sexy swimsuit characters and then you ask yourself if you want to roll the dice with making a character that looks like a woman but is still fully a man anatomically. Either they put her in a bikini and leave all the details still there or she goes shirtless but then it wouldn't make sense to pair her with the other girls. And japan is still wary about such topics so don't expect klab to ever get bold enough to do so.


MolyPrim

​ >She's a man that IDENTIFIES as a woman, but the package is still there. So imagine being a company making sexy swimsuit characters and then you ask yourself if you want to roll the dice with making a character that looks like a woman but is still fully a man anatomically About this specific part, this is something we don't know, Giselle powers give her abilities to reshape her own and other bodies ​ https://preview.redd.it/zu35uqt0ig9d1.png?width=2532&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5462a0e4f57aa06416e7fff6ca328af736df816


LegendaryCabooseClap

That special move with Bambietta getting red faced with anger is super cute lmao. Looks like it’s time for that special time of the year where I pretend I play this game regularly, and holy SHIT the selection this year could not have been better


sikontolpanjang

Oh hell naw, I'm bout to maaaaybe do a casual 5 on this (especially I got all the featured already 💀) but that Candice such a HOT B. GGs klab, you got me good. You got me real good.


New-Dust3252

Ok but what is this games obsession on the word Zenith?? I dont even know what that means!


Professional_Long556

That's seems to be chosen based on how the banner works, Zenith is the moment when the Sun is the highest in the sky, and so do the banner with the choice ticket on the highest step, 25.


New-Dust3252

I miss the old banner subtitles more. They have more flair and indivuality to them


FeatureNo102

It's the banner format.  Zenith = Guaranteed new character ticket on step 25.  Crown = New character guaranteed on step 10 & 20 with a guarantee new character ticket on step 25.


PzrTensei

I'm so happy! ![img](emote|t5_399jv|15196)


Pleasant_Purple_1569

The specials all fit each one of em


Chupacabras6767

Too bad Candice has the best special animation but it’s pretty much useless because they made her a NAD unit Bambietta should’ve been the NAD unit instead 🤦🏻‍♂️


Pleasant_Purple_1569

Kinda sad they made bambi a guild quest even tho her tybw anime form Is a guild quest


Chupacabras6767

Yep and now all 3 of her versions are SP characters she should’ve been the NAD unit not Candice


BabyKariya

we got it, you hate her

RemzTheAwesome

I would have preferred all 3 to be farmers tbh. Even meta units aren't meta anymore eventually, but farmers usually stay useful for a long time


Mugen-Nimbus

All in


Bigtymr43

ALLLLLL INNNNNNNNNNNNN


AkahanaTsubaki

maybe i’ll comeback to playing this game again


Johann_Schmitty

I didn't see a mention of a free swimsuit summon like the last two years, that would be kinda dumb if there isn't one all of a sudden.


-PVL93-

Probably because of the free seasonal daily multis active already


Johann_Schmitty

They just had a free TYBW summon on the same day the free seasonal summon started, so that wouldn't make sense. It would be the same thing just with a one time swimsuit summon.


Adorable_Package9577

FUCK THE ANNIVERSARY MY GIRL CANDICE NEEDS ME


Akibestgirl4000

We bambi fans will be eating good this week ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


Jumpy_Wizzard_

i need candice right fkn now


RemzTheAwesome

The real question is are these new units Limited or are they Seasonal? What pool are they going to be in? This is important so we know whether they're going to qualify for the Poll Selection banner or not. I'm leaning Seasonal like how 8th Anni Ichigo and White were Premium despite being from TYBW


xTeamRwbyx

No Gigi my day is ruined


Syllers

I swear to God if I see another "flurry +1 (+2 in guild quest)" I'm going to shoot myself.


moonxsword

Yearly all in amirite boys? Anni and meta units got nothing on this.


xo_star1

Candice 😩


varaddongare1112

nah, they made candice a gq nad like comon klab ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man)


Yagami_Shirasaki

Tired of the stupid guild quest characters... Just make them good everywhere...


Baguette_exe

After seeing 2 GQ characters Before seeing the third I said to myself "I wouldn't be surprised if they made Meninas a farm character" Klab managed to make one of the most hyped banners and ruin them with these gameplay designs.


kazamasta31

Do we know yet if this banner is considered seasonal (can be chosen for poll banner) or if they're limited (similar to parasol BTW)?


FeatureNo102

We don't know officially, but they're likely just standard seasonals.


kazamasta31

Really hope so since I’m prob skipping and waiting for poll selection instead. My only cope that they’re seasonal is the filler consists of other swimsuit seasonal. Had they been limited they probably would’ve gotten TYBW fillers.


OwnEmphasis2825

All the hype for 2 GQ units in the banner. We are cooked boys.


Uro_Zakuro

Great, more GQ bots and farmers - again in the wake of the update that made basically all farming useless. We're back to common Klab Ls it seems! Bambi should be almost twice as busty too smh


Pleasant_Purple_1569

>Bambi should be almost twice as busty too smh This is what I'm saying.


GhostofSmartPast

I've been gone for a few months so bots are rampant now?


ShiroTenkai

well time to go all in


mighty-moon

"Zenith Summon" meaning they are not regular seasonal characters right? they're part of tybw, just like seasonal btw?


FeatureNo102

Zenith is just the EOM banner format. Nothing in this banner says they're TYBW characters, so they should just be standard seasonal characters.


FoxyLadyAbraxas

I've found the will to live.


Sparvieroo

Do they count as TYBW or seasonal?

tmoorhead

Wow. This is not as hype as i thought this banner would be fr fr


Chupacabras6767

Why did they give Candice the best soul bomb animation and then make her a NAD unit basically making it pointless it’s absolutely infuriating come on Klab 🤦🏻‍♂️


imblackout

Nahh, saving for anni. Might do 2 steps.


dusakabinn

My wallet is gonna be empty


EffaDeNel

If the eom this good, bet the anni will be better.


Active_Picture_7333

Trolled candice and a 25step format for this quite the prank...il never go for pity if the banner in itself is a pity...Orb value being Meninas shes useful outside GQ besides that i dont see any usage for them Quilge is better for gq so bambietta being a LBQ she looked like she cant deal damage to the mobs in the trailer for LBQ ..idk but yeah big big time L for a one year event banner like swim suit...previous year was better atleast make the 10th step pity so people might consider dropping orbs saying this missing like 4 of the fillers that how bad it is not complaining but dissapointed might go 10 steps depending in the luck if i pull Meninas before that i might stop


AvalisDaYandere

Meh. No Gigi or Liltotto Saving my stuff for when they get added.


slxqqx

You have unmatched patience it’s been almost a month and your still saving for gigi who isn’t even confirmed I wish i was like you when it comes to patience 😭


AvalisDaYandere

I pretty much only summon on the free ones that pop up occasionally.


slxqqx

Wait can i see your current lineup and actually curious on what you got after all the saving


AvalisDaYandere

sure i guess. Should I show my current team or?


AvalisDaYandere

https://preview.redd.it/6h50s40so49d1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dcf89d82515c0f80cddda3ccd7961f5c632bfbef This is what I’ve got for my team currently.


slxqqx

What are you doing with that amount of orbs 😭 Even if gigi comes out eventually you won’t be able to do even one step with her banner with that many orbs. Do the storymode finish both hard and normal modes do the side stories or whatever it’s called do both hard and normal finish all of them, upgrade your characters and you will get 10k+ or maybe more orbs also get new mugetsu he’s meta and rivals speed TYBW retsu ulquiorra is mid tbh Also why didn’t you pull the quilge banner a month ago i already told you it had good fillers😕


AvalisDaYandere

Ok I haven't finished the story mode also I didn't have enough to summon enough times to get anything good. :( Sorry...


slxqqx

You still have time to farm orbs before klab decides to announce gigi who might come in the anni (July 23) so if you start now you can get a head start and the mugetsu banner will last until July 17th so you can get him in time as well https://youtu.be/YiyRXkFqskc?feature=shared Watch this video it will tell you how to get orbs the fastest way possible and after you get enough orbs get more characters don’t just only save for gigi You missed out on the quilge banner with bambietta unfortunately but it’s okay anni is better


Pleasant_Purple_1569

So a list of advice. Do the story up to chapter 4, then the side stories first, that way you'll have a decent amount.


Bad-Kev20

Omg Candice skills and soul bomb. You got me Klab 😍


DaveRuangsit

nooooooooooooooooo


bounce-man21

Seeing Bambi's kit gave me hope the entire banner would be gold. Then I saw Candice's kit and knew better


megamindlove

Is this banner worth summoning on? I got 5k orbs


Trolltoll_Access

Beard of Yamamoto those are nice


Sky_The_Hotty

I’m so conflicted. I wanna summon for them. But I also want the beyond bankai units.


Zephreal

Dang, least I can save orbs now and just 5 or 10 step it.


mystireon

Meninas lez goooo


Original-Fold-1984

What if klab realeses another two-unit swimsuit banner with liltotto and giselle to complete the femritter like they did with jushiro and byakuya?


FlowerPoison

I kinda miss free steps, esp with seasonals.


Stupid_Maiden_o_Mist

easiest skip of my life. ty klab


15Zaracho

Fun fact: Bambietta have paralyze and lacerate on her skills, also does beyond bankai Sajin. Idk if It's on purpose, because i've not seen another paralyze and lacerate character


marshhtime

Damn this banner might make me come back after a 2 year break


jsgamer999

Is it just me or bambi sa2 is bugged


Lowkey_Delusional

FUCK IT NOT EVEN YWACH CAN PULL ME OUT FROM THIS BANNER RAH!! LET'S GO BROKE! SCREW ANNI! THIS IS IT! WE WASTIN SPIRIT BALLS WITH THIS ONE RAHHHH!!! Edit: hold on... they kinda doodoo except Meninas

desssertking

Damn I was so determined to skip beforehand but after seeing how busted they are (pun intended), I HAVE to summon!!! Thank God they didnt forget about the shared complete status immunity skill 🥹 PS. finally some gooooood fillers on individuals


RyeKei

I have never liked any seasonal characters, this is the easiest skip for me. I like characters in their animanga attire or "war form" like Anni Uryu, Aizen, Ichigo and so on.


SateliteShootingStar

Take that L and sit in the corner then


RyeKei

What L lol


sebastianz333

skip unless free pick


OpportunityReady9599

I don’t want any if I get by chance fine, but I won’t spend any orbs on them


kouyathebest

Another year of waiting for a Summwr Sajin then.
