Wouldn't Senjumaru still go first, though? If it's someone who can survive longer than one shot, K ...
I guess we wont know until some top-end guys actually test it.
Thing is, the average non-vip-10 will usually go for just offensive and pay relatively little attention to defensive - especially on supports, so there's no question Katen will just whipe them out.
However, if both teams are fully build in offensive and defensive, a Senju with Katen might not be enough to 1-shot the enemy Hikifune with Tensa.
Another possible outcome would be, that a Senju with Katen goes first, Kills a fully modded Brenji and gets all supports killed by Brenji's on-death attack.
But as mentioned, in the End it does come down to how much damage a Senju does with Katen.
AFAIK, normal crit does 50% more damage than a normal attack (at least that's what I found on the Forums).
Senju's skill has 140% on base...
The Fortification raises crit dmg by 100% on the last level, which can mean a lot but most likely only rises the crit damage to 100% from 50% (which makes only 25% bonus damage)..
Assuming the same worst case for Katen's active skill, crit would do another 80% of the normal damage.
The end Result would be roughly:
Senju normal skill: 140%
Senju crit skill: 210%
Senju + Katen Active crit skill: 290%
Senju + Katen Active + max fortify crit skill: 340%
However, Katen has no dmg rate active, so assuming Senju has a Tensa:
Senju normal skill: 175%
Senju crit skill: 262,5%
What I forgot to put in is the 7% higher damage rate of Katen.
Ofc, there are other unknowns:
You could theoretically not use a +10% speed to all/allys char and use Senju, Hikifune and Tenjiro, who'd make your Hikifune atk before the enemy hikifune. But this bears the risk that the enemy does use a +10% speed to all allys, which would provide exactly 1% more speed bonus with tensa than Katen's passive.
TL;DR:
I'd rate Katen slightly stronger, as it puts A LOT of pressure in terms of equipment, partners etc on those using Tensa.
In turn however, Katen does fall off harder after the initial damage, because he Active lasts only for 1 Turn, which for Senju&Kensei Teams etc. does not at all equal one round.
Anyway... I'm gonna get Katen, because having 2 girls follow me is so much better than a guy... and because I like to have a Zanpakuto that fortifies my partners... since I kinda plan on Sticking with the 0 Division.
PS: They'll add another Zanpakuto for sure, since Yhwach has no fortification yet and he's notably more expensive than Senju etc. |
