Is Sode no shirayuki worth?

ziutis86

Hey guys. For a long time i'm using Kazeshini but right now I need stronger zanpakuto. I'm thinking to buy Sode no shirayuki when VR comes but I don't know if it's worth. I don't think i will get Kyoka suigetsu because right now I have only 3155 inferno stones. I'm stacking red tavern Kyoraku and I use his exclusive skill (he is pure t1). What do you think I should do? Wait for UBP and expect good zanpakto like muramasa or zangetsu or buy Sode no shirayuki?

Well, Sode is the best zan that u can get for free, at least it's definetely better than kazeshini. I'd set her on equal level with hyorin and sogyo (with each of them just focusing on a different aspect). But the other SS and higher zans, like mura, senbon, tensa etc. are still better. And well, you'll only need Sode for PVP, while the others may find use in PVE as well. I don't know if Sode's advantages are woth the coupons for you. But they were for me as a f2p.

Since u need coupons for sode and vit for ubp: why not save for both? if nothing good comes in ubp soon (or if ubp doesn't come again at all), you can still go for sode and maybe choose something else in ubp.

Yep, apologies i forgot to make that clear I'd go for that option yea

But yeah in every way of looking at it even where a team would heavily benefit from Sode and Sode alone, other Zanpakutos especially ones that can potentially enter in UBP and even past ones have all just about been better than Sode whilst offering the same stuff as her, and will continue to be better unfortunately ^^

Since Tensa has been given in UBP, it will be given as well later. Wait for him

hahahaha, hell no, it never will be given freely again, EVER!

She's only 'worth it' if you need a Zanpakuto that can boost your whole team's speed, but that isn't exactly the best option to follow either and you're never really going to be in those situations when that's necessary, especially when it's JUST a speed boost Zanpakuto going to roles that won't even need it most the time (E.g. Vangaurds) and it's quite the little speed boost too unfortunately :/

I think the worst of it is coming from the fact that it costs coupons, and you can easily spend coupons on things much better like stones in the Shop (Kisuke Urahara Shop) to physically boost your team in overall power. This Zanpakuto is a PVP heavy focus one, and it only helps you in PVP in 1 aspect, a.k.a speed, and again, it's not exactly the best of speed boosts, so not worth it at all since you can get much more than just speed from a Zanpakuto ^^

Also Sode no Shirayuki is easily replaceable unfortunately, so just about any Zanpakuto that could appear in the UBP event is most likely going to be overall better than Sode by a mile and provide more benefits than just speed alone ^^

oh, sorry, I meant no offense, was merely commenting on how differently people build teams, as for ...

No problem mate. Most speed bonus give's tensa 15% while sode no shirayuki or muramasa 12%. But this difference is not so big. If I won't buy sode no shirayuki i will spend coupons for red hogyoku (I think it's much better because all agility stones equipped on shunsui are 9-10lvl)
