Rinko or Shiranui

Which is better to get first? Asagi is my main and I like her style the most.

(free player so it will be a while between)

If pvp also interest you, then Rinko first or wait for the new character coming out next week, Emily. She is range though so you might not like her. If you just want a new character to play as then I think Rinko also suits you better as Shiranui is good but her auto attack has a slow startup. Should check out some of their gameplay vids just to see.

While I like them both, I prefer Shiranui for PVE. She has better dodge skills than Rinko especially with her Genejin skill.

If you want a good character for PvP, Rinko's a great choice for it. It's fairly easy to earn points in Arena, and you get rewards based on your points at the end of the season. Having 6000 points will get you 75 gems; it would be a nice source of gems for you, especially as an F2P player.

Shiranui's great for PvE. Using 3 red supporters is working really well for me; I use her ranged attack, Sougetsuin, to give her +20% Crit, then delete the enemy in front of me with Senkou, which has +250% Crit Damage. Not only does Shinkou hit for massive damage, but it also heals Shiranui for 2% of DMG dealt - which is nice with that amount of damage.

However, I haven't had much success with Shiranui in Arena. I've tried several builds, but she just doesn't seem to be able to pin the enemy down effectively - not in the same way Rinko does.

if i started today i would immediately pick shiranui, shes demon, has the body shape i like aka big thighs and butt, has seductive glare and sensual voice actor that used to dub characters in actual hentais.
pvp is anyway for whales so doesnt matter what you use.
so you should pick character you like, since you anyway have 1 of 3 default ones, asagi, sakura or yuki all of them are good on arena and you can easily with 75 one of them climb to top class and top 100 is whale territory.

but generally speaking shiranui could get buff to pvp, mybe ai improved or something.

Rinko is better for pvp, personally I lwill pick Shiranui for pve.
