Can someone post pic of Zangetsu end stats (Hogyoku-Kai)?  I have Hyorinmaru, which is amazing (and almost activated phase 2), so I'm not sure whether or not I want to spend for Zangetsu or not.  Want to see what his support total speed is, pretty sure it is less then Hyorinmaru, but want to see by how big of a % to measure against the other stats.  Also description again of his skill as a memory refresher.

50% HP vng - 40% dmg rate / assaulters: 21% speed 25 % dmg // supports: 15% speed 18% dmg.

Buff all team with 18% more dmg rate. 125% reaitsu bonus

Thank you for posting that.

I would agree with you to the extent that it is one of the best zanpakuto's, but lets be honest, almost every single gold purchased zanpakuto is "one of the best", Senbon/Tense/Zangetsu/Muramasa are all about equal depending on team setup, Sogo is crap compared to them, and I would say with the addition of new VGs, like Noz Kenny that Hyorinmaru could be constituted as one of the best Zanpakuto's.

I think Zangetsu would be a downgrade for me, considering it is 3% less speed, which would 'almost' be equaled out by the fact that his Zanpakuto fortify can increase raw speed.  However my Hyorinmaru has +130% Reiatsu bonus, and that 5% translates into a much bigger stat bonus.  The sole advantage of Zangetsu would be his HUGE increase in damage along with a damage buff for ES and Ryoka (I already beat Hollow Map).  But looking at the grand scheme of things the -40% dmg to VG would be a big hit to me considering how buff my VG is and I run 3 supports so I'd primarily be benefitting from the 18% damage boost and not as much from the 25% damage boost, and the assaulter speed bonus which is huge is useless to me running a 3-1-1.

Think I'll save my vit for the next SA I guess, think typing this out helped me make up my mind of what I wanted to do.  Ughhhhh, I almost want to get Zangetsu just out of principle that UBP has a decent reward for once.  Thank you again for the quick and helpful reply to my question.

well you summed it all up..... i also have hyorin on 1 of my acc's, i really like him , but like you said , it hurts me a bit at pve battles, not levelling as fast as my zangetsu acc. But hey , if you have the vit, why not, also eventually you will max out the fortify for hyorin , than you can use thoose on zangetsu (thast just planning for future in my opinion).

I am all about planning for the future, but only to a certain extent.  I am approaching finishing Phase 2 on Hyorinmaru, and that has taken a few months (4? can't remember when they added zanpakuto fortify now).  It will take x 2.5 longer to finish Phase 3 (max it out).  So I'd be looking at close to a year.  There is an extreme likely that by then I would either have Muramasa or Tense Zangetsu, whom which both would be better for my PVE and PVP, or the serious possibility that a new zanpakuto would exist or a new mechanic to augment existing zanpakutos etc.  I try to always plan everything well in advanced, but not usually more then 6 months in advanced because often times too many variables change, for example Shinigami Agent, I never expected a Red partner to come around for me for like $20, also him being a decent supporter, which has in an instant made me re-adjust the plans I've had in motion for the last 4-5 months.

You are right about leveling up though, more kills in wave 55+ in ryoka and more damage in ES does result in more xp/silver gain on a daily basis, which turns into faster leveling which also helps boost PVP/PVE across the board.

I currently would come out about 2k points shy of being able to get Zangetsu.  So I would likely need to buy the 500g (550pts) pack x4 to get him, or at a minimum 500g x3, and I currently have 75g, and I don't particularly want to top up during non-reio event, and with my plans to re-extended shinigami agent, the thought of topping up for any purpose other then that isn't appealing, especially for something I will only use part of the time.

I appreciate your constructive response, helps me process my decision making lol.

Geez.  That was an entire S.A. you posted there.  Never read that long before, lol.  I'd like to ask you two things.

1. As siilly and ignorant as this might sound, a rhetoric question, perhaps, IS HYORIN REALLY THAT GOOD?  I use hollow ichigo, so not sure how could he'd be, especially if I use him in hollow soul for gin.  His fortify is good, but all those stones/attributes could well be used for a pve zampaktou.

2. You say you use 1-1-3 formation, so why not use muramasa?

Just curious, for final confirmation, what is Zangetsu speed/dmg for supports?  I only ask because two difference screenshots show two different things.  I know Hyorinmaru was glitched in the same way, so I'm guessing same thing applies to Zangetsu...
