ЗимаBuild and Guide

Introduction

Зима is a 4✦ rarity character from the Plant afflatus who deals Mental damage and belongs to the Support class.

Zima is a Support focused on buffing his allies, similar to Sonetto. They have nearly identical kits, with Zima providing a tiny bit of healing instead of -DMG Taken and Zima utilizing Silence instead of Sonetto's Disarm. This makes him less desireable than Sonetto, but he can hold his own especially in Druvis III Petrify teams.

Review

Зима (Zima, also translated as Winter) is a support character who can offer buffs and crowd-control alike. Similarly to Sonetto, his first skill, “Sparrow”, doesn't change the damage multiplier between rank 1 and 2. It does, however, change from a regular single-target attack skill to a Debuff skill that inflicts [Silence]. In that fashion, depending on the kind of enemy you are dealing with, you can either spam it at rank 1 to gain Moxie and open room on your hand, or save it and wait for when [Silence] is needed.

His second skill, “Paper”, increases both DMG Dealt and DMG Heal to all allies. That's greatly beneficial both for the damage dealers and the team healer. Finally, his Ultimate, is a Mass attack but inflicts [Seal] on the main target. Joining that with his first skill, his kit is very focused on controlling the flow of battle by disabling the enemy team with relative ease.

Despite all this utility, it must be noted that Зима is a very passive character, with little damage, so he may not please players who prefer a more aggressive gameplay.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Has access to a universal buff, making him flexible;
Can inflict [Silence] and [Seal];
Doesn't need much investment, both due to his role and low rarity.

Cons

Doesn't deal any damage;
Gameplay can be too passive, not aggregating much to the battle.

Comments

“His Bounden Duty” makes up for Зима's low base ATK and gives him some DMG bonus as well. “Her Second Life” increases Зима's ATK while also giving him some healing utility. Keeping Зима healthy is important, as he loses his 10% PEN Rate in favor of DMG Taken Reduction if he's below 50% HP. “Long Night Talk” is great for long fights, as Зима can slowly stack up ATK by casting his buff. Getting 2 [Pos Stat] on him is harder, though, since he only applies [Stats Up]. “Yearning Desire” is relatively easy for Зима to activate, since he can apply [Silence] and [Seal].
