So for maximizing damage it says use skill #9 or #8 depending on zanpakto, but how about skill #10,  ...

8th or 9th for pve, 10th for pvp imo.

Advance
1. 9th (If you use Zangetsu, Zabimaru & Kazeshini)
2. 8th (If you use Sogyo)

What if I have Renji on my Assaulter and im using 9th skill coz my zanpakuto is Kazeshini, Im just curious is the skill effect of Renji with take effect with 9th skill which also give   additional damage too.

So I have a question. Does it make a huge difference if your main goes first, before Urahara/Rukia?

I still prefer 9th, as Renji self buff doesn't contribute much on team performance. Besides, you will replace Renji with another partner sooner or later.

@yamivegeta
Around 20% damage increment for your assaulter (2nd round only).

Another question.

Do fury stones only affect the first turn? If so, they aren't that vital in PVE are they?

Fury stone only affect the first turn, yes. For pve daily activities, fury stone provide advantages to the user but not vital. However, for general pve (hollow soul, palace and trial, fury stone do provide a huge advantages, assuming you're refer to full fury upon start)

I am not sure i agree with the Zanpakuto section.

You seem to say that Zabimaru/Kazeshini is intermediate, but Zabimaru should be in advanced, because it gives overall better DPS output than the other two.

Sogyo is a better version of Kazeshini, but the problem is that, its damage buff, overwrites 9th skill (as you said in the other thread) , while Kazeshini's doesn't, so it means that Kazeshini actually gives more damage output since it stacks with 9th skill.

As for Zabimaru and Zangetsu, zangetsu gives 18% damage only to assaulters, yet it gives 25/18% A/S to them aswell, while zabimaru is 21% to A/S and 10% buff.
Meaning that 3% is shifted from supports to assaulters on zangetsu, and they also get 8% (9% more in total) damage for assaulters, while sacrificing 13% damage on supports.

Which means, that they are about the same, maybe one of them is SLIGHTLY better than the other, but they are roughly the same.

Actually let me calculate for a second, optimal formation is 3-2 for PvE, so means that assualters get 27% extra damage out of Zangetsu, but supports lose 26% damage, so zabimaru loses by 1% in general, and also has 1% less reiatsu scaling 125% to 124%.

Which means that Zabimaru and Zangetsu, are almost identical DPS wise and Zabimaru would be better if you run a 2-3 formation with 3 supports for PvE, which i've seen, a few times.

Anyways, should probably put zabimaru into advanced, because he is free and basically just as good as zangetsu for pve.
