I've been wondering... there's the ghost blade class that attacks physically. And there's the Kido type class, that attacks with kido/strategy attack.

And then there's the Spirit Blade class... but what are they there for? They attack physically too, right? But since there's already the ghost type class which does the same, there is not really a need for spirit blade class , isn't it?
So I've been wondering: what's the deal with Spirit blade type? What's special about them, what's makes it different from the other two classes besides the name, weapon and the mere fact that it is different?
I thought that it would be logically if they are some type of physically-kido-hybrid, but they aren't, right?
I just thought, that there must be some value to this class too, gameplay-wise. Otherwise, they are just plain useless and superfluous.

Any Ideas?

Oh, and another question on a side note: why would a vanguard need extra strategy attack, that almost every vanguard has a mod for strategy attack? It would make sense to me if it was strategy defense... but strategy attack?

The strategy attack thing on VGs is typo. Its actually strategy defense. Spirit Blades are for people who dont want to play Ghost Blades I guess...there doesn't seem to be a difference except most assault partners cannot use their weapons and the look different from the Ghost blade main. MNost people just ignore them unless you want to look unique or just don't know better.

Spirit blade should have been some kind of hybrid between physical and magical attacks. Characters like Rukia, Momo and Urahara would have been perfect for this class, instead they are Kido which implies they only use magical attacks. Unohana and Inoue would be great for Kido since that's the only thing they use in the anime.
For some reason Kenpachi is spirit blade, god knows why..

inb4 yhwach or the strongest version of ichigo is spirit blade just to "balance"
