Zahir/Playstyle Tips

In-Game Tips

 * Zahir has high potential. Farm and survive until you become strong!
 * Use Eye of Azrael to find corpses and take useful items from the bodies to get Zahir to grow stronger faster.

General
Zahir is not at his strongest early in the game. Focus on crafting armors and foods to last through the middle of the game. While his stat may not be strong early, his stat scaling is actually very high. His potential to win games lies at mid-late game phase! Stay alive and keep up in mastery until you reach late game phase. At max level he has very high stat that makes him very strong. He can take advantage of getting loot from dead enemies easily with Eye of Azrael which mark corpses around the map. His passive combat skill, Damnation, punishes your opponent for being aggressive and killing a lot. This makes Zahir a superb character that has a very high chance to win games at late game without actually getting significant lead like other characters. He needs the player's knowledge to hoard food for his survival and sustain and getting chance to increase his mastery tier. Even without getting kills he can remain strong for late game!

Abilities
Eye of Azrael mark enemy's corpses on the map. This skill can be convenient at times to check enemy's corpse and looting items that might be useful for Zahir.

Damnation is a bit contradictory with how Mastery is very necessary to have in this meta. While it does gives drastic amount of skill dmg dealt to enemies depending on kill count, it is not mandatory and there's no reason for him to NOT kill animals or even letting go dying opponent just because you want to use damnation to it's fullest. Having Mastery is way more important and it scales better in terms of damage dealing than Damnation. As much as Damnation is able to dish out extra skill dmg, it won't be as much as hitting enemy with S Mastery as Zahir at late game. Mastery is more reliable than Damnation overall to deal damage. Thus, Damnation should be treated as a nice addition of skill dmg when it procs but it's still fine if it doesn't. Zahir himself is strong enough on his own to fight.
