Why you should farm Zeno NOW!!

UPDATED: Note Zeno is not obtainable anymore as the Challenge Event is closed now. Hope to see him back soon;)

Among all you can read around - and mostly negative feedbacks from Zeno's overall use in the game - there is something you should consider first: Zeno is a 5 stars character and you can six stars him with only 6 Copies total = a FREE six stars.

Unless you already have more than 6 units ready to cover your Guild Battle set ups, go Zeno!

Now, in case you don't know yet. six starring a character from scratch takes from few days for a whale or 4-5 weeks for a F2P. Across 20 accounts, we calculated an average of 45 runs at hard level only to gather the 6 pieces needed for completion of Zeno 6. A mere 1350 staminas to get a six stars.... Worth!

Finally, once you 6 stars Zeno you will get automatically the SSS imprint and a reward of 18 bookmarks.

You have more reading time? Lets speak about the build. For PvP/PvE, there are two main set up:

1. You need him to go after your opener or CR booster to secure your DPS (mostly PvP): Speed/Hit or Hp.

2. You need a heavy tank as Frontliner (PvP/PvE): Speed or Counter/Unity for upset.

Artefact we prefer: Sina Ren. unless you want to toy him with your best T6 damage sets, then go Etica.

As example, we had lots of fun on a HP/Crit/Unity build with speed boots and double HP% to reach minimal stats requirement shared below. We highly rated Zeno in PvE to compare to most "opinions" because he helped so much in controlling waves and even becomes very useful with Sina Sen and its random debuff which can apply on bosses as well.

Unfortunately, Zeno even at 100%, being Water means he is not going to land every time, this is where Sira Sen becomes handy. Any Archer with Infinity basket can help trigger his s1. Speed remains primordial to use s3 as much as possible, so below the minimal stats you should look for whatever the build:

The early STATS (based on average 70 level+ gears, maxed at 15):

Speed: 160+ / which overall should out-speed most healers in PvP and waves in PvE (which are 130+)

Hit: 60%+

HP: 13K +

Def: 900K+

Att: 2K optional- care it as last stats as Bleeds scale on it, also a good extra on his damage.

Crit Chance: 65%+.

Crit Damage: any more % here will be a bonus

For our test, we always burn Molas - but Zeno can do his tank job without any at first.

We were kind of skeptical about its design at first, but while trying him in different content - we get use to it and actually even appreciate his temper and animes during the runs. We love the Arena video about him too in case you haven't had a look: a must-see!

Have fun!
