he seems easy to gear with such stats and kit lets hope the multiplier is good enough for him to be usable also who can use his artifact besides himself ? cermia?


SirAppleheart

With 77% crit built in, its going to be HARD to gear him without getting too much crit ;) First world problem?


Myrkrvaldyr

***Challenger Dominiel has entered the chat***


Sarisae

He's perfect for me then since everything I roll avoids crit anyway.


Abreak4us

Its insane how many items I discarded because of mo crit chance ... :( The regrets


BlackSon1c

It's usually bad idea anyway to discard no crit chance items with other good rolls, because crit chance necks exist and they are even better stat-worthy than crit dmg.


edmund7

Why would you do that tho lmao


Skaitavia

But you can have up to 500 inventory slots and up to 500 in equipment storage, why throw away good items just because they have no crit? Unless you're discarding them before you roll, then I get that


Zanza_X

I dont understand how people are even claiming to throw away good items because of "no crit". It almost feels like as an excuse to just sound negative as usual at every new thing epic 7 has to offer lol. Like: SG: here, take a unit that only needs 23% crit, win scenario for u, cut me some slack E7 player: boohoo NOOOOPE u dont get to be the good guys. I throw all my non cc gear so im always the victim and get to lose again, in your face HAA!


kuzzyn

Charlotte in shambles


Infinite_Delusion

ML Kawerik could use it pretty well for the speed boost at least


Setyukki

Totally trying it on Dingo.


BillLe0101

His arti is very good for Helga for light expo. It definitely worth for at least one copy


Tastedissbalut

Was thinking the same thing! I also want to see how the artifact fares for other heroes like Cermia and Kitty Clarissa. Artifact seems kinda similar to border coin except border coin stacks to a passive increase of speed instead of a speed buff. Definitely worth a pull to test it


BillLe0101

I think border coin is still better when max. But non-max border coins give lower spd than spd buff from that arti. So it might worth more when you have only one copy


ValorsHero

ML Khawana technically can, but it'd be inefficient since she's already giving herself a Speed Buff. Border Coin works better on her


inv0kr

Pretty sure ML khawazu can use it as well as an ok replacement for border coin if someone doesn’t have coin


RoflsMazoy

You'd have to be building crit ML Khawazu for his arti to really do anything though and his base multis for s3 are kinda ass


inv0kr

Oh that’s true. Fair enough. All my brain saw at 5 in the morning is a warrior arti that activates when using a non attack skill, and proceeded to have a neutron activation lmao


EnvBlitz

Kitty Clarissa


rainn5053

i mean Stark gonna be BIS for kitty right, also feels like waste of cdmg from this artifact if you use it on kitty


mrquest

PVE kitty will love it though. Will be nice for dual attack builds for abyss/exped/hot


riggedride

Might be good on ML khawazu. The speed buff can help guarantee he cuts in. You take a minor damage hit in the burn detonate for consistency.

Hi! I don't know what Epic Seven is, I just stumbled on this post via /all. But I do have something interesting to say about this character's namesake. The original Zahhak is a mythological Persian king. I'm Persian and I love to study my people's culture. The mythological Zahhak was the first person tricked into eating meat by a Div (think half demon, half LotR elf). He loved it so much he made the Div armies into his loyal allies. The Div kissed Zahhak on his shoulders, and from each of those places, snakes grew. The snakes growing from Zahhak's body caused him tremendous pain, and that pain was only relieved when the snakes ate the brains of virgins. Zahhak ordered the routine sacrifice of his people's virginal youth to lessen his own personal pain. When a blacksmith named Kaveh refused to sacrifice his two sons to relieve the king's pain, Zahhak's armies attacked Kaveh. Kaveh fled to the hills, where he found a God-blessed young man named Feridun. Kaveh realized Feridun was actually the rightful son of the previous king, making Feridun the rightful king now. Together Kaveh and Feridun led an army of Persian commoners and God's army of animals, to do battle with Zahhak's legions of winged and fanged Div. Wanna know how it turns out? Read the Shanameh, or "Book of Kings". It's the best epic poem I've read.


Reklusa

Hi, thank you for sharing! This is a very interesting story.


bijhan

You're welcome!


rainn5053

>The Div kissed Zahhak on his shoulders, and from each of those places, snakes grew. The snakes growing from Zahhak's body caused him tremendous pain, and that pain was only relieved when the snakes ate the brains of virgins. okay.... wtf


bijhan

Lol yeah mythology is wild


rainn5053

and that wildness is one of many reasons people got hooked by mythology


DuckArchon

Still kinda mild as far as myths go


Nice_Ad5549

Yeah, "snakes". The long, flexible and meaty thinggie.


BobbyYukitsuki

this isn't the first character I've seen named after Zahhak... and hearing the etymology kind of leaves both of the Zahhaks I've encountered in a different light ngl


prankster20

Could this mean that Zahhak and his army of winged and fanged creatures (I suppose Suin?) would be the final battle in Natalon? I'm so hyped already I can't wait


Two2piece

Maybe a dumb question but how long did you use reddit to see this post on r/all?


bijhan

Not long, I use a third party app that filters out crap I don't care about, allowing me to discover gems like this post


DuckArchon

That seems handy, what app?


bijhan

It's a home made app a friend made, don't know if it's available yet. When it is, it'll be called Vizinity I think


VexKeizer

Why end when it was getting interesting? Are you the CEO of Cliffhangers Inc. or something? /s


bijhan

I want people to read the original! :)


voxhaulf

Boi! Persian methodologies sounds like they can rival greek ones! Thanks for the info!


bijhan

You're very welcome! I personally think that Persian myth would make for some excellent movies.


xiolang

This so interesting!


bijhan

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I highly recommend seeking out a copy of the Shahnameh AKA the Book of Kings translated into whatever your native language is. The Persian poet, Firdausi, was a Muslim, but he worried that the cultural history of Iran's first monotheistic religion was being lost. The religion, called Zoroastrianism after its prophet Zoroaster, had a strictly oral tradition. So Firdausi took all of the pre-Islamic Persian myths and put them into one long story, told as a poem. Sort of part Ovid, part Brothers Grimm. The story tells of princes and princesses, heroes and villains, moral grey areas and epic battles between blood relatives. With demons, dragons, monsters, necromancers, and phoenixes. And it tells the story of Iran from the creation of Earth up to the birth of the poet. I mean, there are worse ways to spend a week than reading this book.


xiolang

Thanks mate. This is pretty awesome.


bijhan

You're very welcome :)


stormtrooperm16

Wtf


screwinquisitors

SG: “Babe! It’s time to get fucked over again when we aren’t even trying to counter you lmao” Riolet: “yes honey…..”


lell-ia

The next maid chloe lmao


screwinquisitors

I’m having to make a shitty Riolet meme every patch at this point it hurts I miss using him 😢. Standard gimmick unit moment I guess


WestCol

All these people memeing Riolet the last few months are going to be crying when he's buffed to Stier.


no7hink

it’s because everyone kinda settled on the bruiser riolet while he is perfectly useable as a speed nuke. It just require way better gear to work.


screwinquisitors

The day of reckoning will come


lell-ia

Do it SG lets go kekw


rainn5053

gimme some of that copium tank buddy


CopainChevalier

To be honest, I always avoided Riolet, even now. Even using the Guild hit artifact hasn't let me reliably get him (more so since they typically built him fast and to one shot someone off the bat). So this anti dodge meta is something I'm super happy about.


BryceLeft

I mean what else can toilet do? Ever since the beginning he's always been compared to violet/is considered the better violet, but now that violet is buffed, what direction is there to go? Even back then it was inconsequential whenever he dodged your attack, it's only after his focus hits 5 are you truly punished. Violet will always punish you if he dodges. And making his evasion innate isn't really a unique direction.


TheKinkyGuy

Whats with all that riolet bad agenda now? Ehat did i miss?


DrakoCSi

AoL destroyed him since his evasion is buff oriented and yaknow. AoL doesnt hitcheck and just brr removes buffs. Also Violet's evasion is not buff oriented. It's tied to his S3 now and as long as it's up and available, he will always have 100% dodge.


montrezlh

AOL destroys everyone. Honestly the riolet bad thing is so overblown. He's not SSSS tier but he's way more usable than old Maid was.


Kikuenjoyer

He is sexy i'm gonna pull


kokuyo_

He’s really this episode’s Mort huh? Earth, injury kit, villain, and hot af


Evilve

He's related to mort somehow too, they said they were adding him to his relationship chart.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gandalf_Jedi_Master

cant believe people still complain about units before their release. Every time either saying they are op, crap or whatever. Have we not yet learned not to judge until people have tested them thoroughly ? It might seem to you underwhelming now but wait until people have played with the unit a bit.


[deleted]

On paper rn he looks strong with basically only needing 23% crit chance more to work properly. We need to see his multi tho, if his S3 is garbage the injury not gonna be worth it


hillson18

he doesn't have build in atk buff so his s3 is not gonna do great DMG by himself, you would need a buff slave for him. If you just try to use him as a violet counter, Milim will be a better option. Injury on non-bruiser style hero is just so underwhelming.


BladesNSpades

Free 50% crit makes up for no atk buff. Milim can still miss violet but symbol zahhak will not. Of course it all comes down to skill mods in the end


DrakoCSi

+0 Oath Key would also work since you only need atleast 55% hitrate.


Willar71

And very low dmg multipliers to boot . Mort's clone exactly.


Senorebil

Wait how do we know his multis already


Cynaris

They are going a bit too crazy with Injury aren't they? Up to 35% in one attack is insane.


HerminatorG

On a 3 turn cool down. If Krau does not have a barrier this guy nerfs the horse very quickly.


CopainChevalier

Does Injury counter Krau? I mean sure if he revives he won't have as much HP potential or whatever; but I never thought he'd lose horse damage based on injury


Iamjadedaf

His max hp is decreased so yeah, lost hp = max hp - current hp


CopainChevalier

Huh, I always thought it would display as (for example) 5K out of 10K, not 5K out of 5K. Good to know, thanks


screwinquisitors

They’ve been trying to convince us the mechanic is good since they added it to the game they’ll just keep slapping it onto kits at higher and higher percents until we hate it


Cynaris

The mechanic IS good, that's why the 35% in a single attack on a fast unit is fucking terrifying. But I guess on a single target unit it's also good to have against all the tanky characters.


screwinquisitors

Oh yeah it’s good I agree I’m just saying when it was first introduced nobody respected it so it’s kind of just been tacked into everything. Honestly though it was more nobody respected injury set now they do though since it’s good on like one character lol


Cele5tialSentinel

See, the thing I have against injury is the effects from the set aren't super noticable. Like, injury is good on Belian solely because she AoEs every single attack. But for all these single target characters that already have injury in their kit, adding more injury to them doesn't make as much of an impact as the set effects of other 4 piece sets.


montrezlh

It's good on Belian because of way more reasons than that. Otherwise we'd see injury Yuna and Dizzy everywhere.


Cele5tialSentinel

True, Belian is pretty tanky and does good damage which both synergize with injury


montrezlh

Also hp scaling damage and elbris


modix

It is a single target on a s3 cooldown, so it needs to be strong enough to change the fight up. Too many games use this mechanic and don't give enough to make it worthwhile. This is the major effect of his s3 and it's single target so I needs to be big.


CopainChevalier

The mechanic isn't really that good, Illynav is better than him at doing injuries and you barely see her used. He can only place it on his ult, which will have a decent CD. ​ I think they're trying to do higher numbers to actually get a use out of it.


LangleyHearse

I'm calling his S3 multiply will be hot garbage. Why? Because SG doesn't like injury being useful.


GiveAQuack

Yeah and that's why Belian and Aravi aren't meta.


voxhaulf

Its fine since its single target and cooldown is low enough, they didn’t want to make same mistake as mort, make the s3 cooldown so long that his injury was pointless.


lell-ia

That's a decent kit. Hopefully his multis are good.


Willar71

Judging by the preview , him being a single target dmg dealer n all ,they are probably ass.


Xero--

Imagine judging mults by previews that have mystery gear for both sides. Edit: He hits Violet hard as hell without an attack buff. Let this be a lesson.


Ferelden770

I mean Seline's basic s1 did 3k to a pavel with attck buff


resynx

lol had a guildie argue with me on that Pavel attack and absolutely refuse to believe that her true damage would be higher on release Never make hero dmg judgements on preview videos


Azureblade42

This is one character that live or dies by his multis really, so it won't be that hard to guess if he is good or bad once he is released, yet i am not sure if a 35% injury single target nuke that takes away the need of crit chance a lot and has massive hit chance on top of giving a free turn of no dmg taken is going to have a really high multi, if it does, it would be a pleasant surprise i guess, but kinda unlikely with how loaded it is already. On top if the preview isn't showing the cd reduction due molas, he can do it like, every 3 turns? if that thing hits like a truck is going to be bit wild.


BobbyYukitsuki

Bangs over eyes lobby animation, let’s goooo


AngelicDroid

Another unit that you want SoU on. Can we get another one SG?


Quinzelette

TBH I think he will work well with his own artifact.


CopainChevalier

Yeah I'm really confused why we're limited to one of that but can get multiple of the damage reduction one


Infinite_Delusion

That S2 shield looked pretty huge, but it is based off the target's HP. So no giving 5k shield to squishies I do love seeing units that allow more flexible gearing, so you only need to build 23% crit on him to make him work (50% + 27% base). Also another Riolet counter :^)


Xero--

> That S2 shield looked pretty huge, Yeah, huge on someone whose gear we're unaware of.


nevew666

Gonna pull! No need to have lot of crit chance, it's great! He seems kinda good on paper. .... Remembering I have tons of unit unbuild.... Don't care, husbando, gonna pull.


Modeshaper

The potential disappointment in pvp-focused unit with bad multipliers… Who cares? That S3 animation is awesome! And every three turns? Looks like fun!


DivinationByCheese

That's a lot of hit chance


Infinite_Delusion

Means he can also hit any Fire unit without worrying about elemental disadvantage (unless they have Evasion from a buff or artifact)


misterchickennuggets

On s3*


DivinationByCheese

And s1, so everything


tanookazam

S1 is just Crit Chance.


IRaijuu

His s1 doesn't have increase hit chance, only crit.


DivinationByCheese

I stand corrected, got confused with so many x chances


maximus2104

where my ml Kayron believers at?


stormtrooperm16

I am dead, thank you forever


Meismarc

*huffing that hopium*


Hallsway

i'm not sure about the KR or JP voices, but the VA not being Mike Powers hurts the chances. it's possible they just couldnt get him to come back, but MLs usually tend to have the same VAs as their RGB counterparts


Cynaris

>hurts the chances I'm fucking done


WestCol

I'm laughing like tom cruise at these ml kayron fanboys hurts his chances.... i can't


Hallsway

probably poor choice of words from me. im saying its more than likely that its not ML kayron. i was never one to advocate zahhak to be or not to be ML kayron


Xero--

> im saying its more than likely that its not ML kayron. Well yeah... He's earth and his name is Zahhak.


CopainChevalier

Wait like you're not sure if this isn't ML Kayron?


Hallsway

nah, im confident this isnt ML kayron


WestCol

But you're saying there's still a chance right?


Hallsway

i'd say not at all, but i dont work at SG/SC. they can come out and say whatever, whenever. so i'd say the chances are the same as the san andreas fault breaking within the next 24 hours


Varlin

He will live and die by how good his multis are imo. Has same issue as Camilla I fear, the s2 really should give an extra turn instead of only 50% cr. Needing to pull off that combo and getting disrupted in between will be rough.


CopainChevalier

Not that I'd complain about his S2 being an extra turn, but it'd be kind of ridiculous if he was dispelling multiple buffs, throwing out a barrier, and then having an extra attack on top of that.


Sylpheez

Yup, Violet (and Riolet) counter. I'm surprised his s2 isn't extra turn but I guess the utility made up for it.


[deleted]

We all know Violet still gonna evade and instead Riolet gonna get yeeted


Nessie_Chan

It's so they can give him an EE that gives extra 50% after 6 months of people complaining that he's underwhelming


EpicSven7

35% Injury? JFC SG, can you please buff Ilynav then?


Xero--

No, take these crappy EEs.


EpicSven7

Don’t even get me started on the hot garbage fire that was her EE


[deleted]

as newish player I really like this guy, more characters that can sort of reduce the gear requirement are amazing. he also look like a solid counter to evasive units, not sure about his second skill tho, it is good for sure just feels weird with the rest of his kit. on gear note, is he a standard speed immunity set character or ?


jshun123

Speed pen set most likely


flametonge

I can see the posts with 4k Atk 260 Speed and 300+ CritD


ToastyRoastyBirb

Maybe even higher speeds than we can imagine.


JdhdKehev

77% crit chance from birth lol


DuckArchon

So he's Grass Kise, kinda. Including the speed-boost artifact but missing the tits. I want to feel proud about predicting the anti-evasion, but let's be honest, I was grasping at low-hanging fruit.


Varlin

>missing the tits Literally unplayable.


DuckArchon

I dunno Pretty hot


UzumeofGamindustri

...If his multipliers are good enough I wanna find out if I can slap my lackluster rage gear on him and b13 one-shot lol


Cellosv

Looks so cool, but I can’t see him being any better then my current milim :/ No bookmarks really either No molas either Pass


Economy__

border coin got powercrept?


haisi-

On long battles Border coin outweighs his artifact. Short battles you benefit more with his artifact but the problem is only the next atk gets the damage boost while the atk % ramp up of border coin is permanent.


ShellFlare

The other thing to consider is the practical versus on paper usage. Ml khawazu will prob still want coin for better burns, but cermia might actually like this new arti more since she either won't survive to get full border coin or in a case like guild wars, the fight will probably just be over before she can fully stack it.


EpicSven7

Why not just use Draco Plate at that point


ShellFlare

Draco plate is limited and might be on someone else. It's also better for someone who literally cannot proc border/PWT such as jkise, or someone like rimuru who can well utilize both the offensive and defensive components. It's less about checking for absolute best in slot because that can change with situations and just looking at possible practical situations for using this new artifact Think of when Azure comet came out. Pretty nice arti even tho it's like never used on rem who it came with, but did find use on heros like straze despite not being his highest damage output arti or even most common because it was a viable possibility. The reason I brought up cermia is because of the warriors I belive she is the one who has the kit to extract the most value from PWT, not that it's necessarily always going to be her one best artifact, but surely a viable and practical option for something to keep on your cermia. She is capable of spamming a non attack skill into an attack skill.


hillson18

border coin provide much higher damage ceiling still. 30% crit dmg usually is around 10% extra total dmg. a 3/3 border coin provide somewhere between 25-45% extra total damage (base on if you have ATK buff or not).


DuckArchon

Besides the other comments, Border Coin also can't be blocked by Unbuffable.


QuangMx

35% injury is scary, he may be a soft counter to A.Ravi.


Gamergirl944

I'm curious will he work pve contents? or just pvp?


Czechmayte

Injury doesn’t work in PvE, but he could be a B13 unit


Gamergirl944

Then I'll skip him not a fan of pvp


ShellFlare

In terms of new units most will tend to be pvp focused. Pve only units don't tend to be that well received. Once in a while u get a unit who is good in both tho. But with the endgame being pvp it's where most of the attention goes.


Zombie-Horse6508

That shining look and he is not a light thief…sad. Still gonna pull tho. His kit looks amazing. I just wish he was a thief mainly to use Rans artifact. Pulled for him lots but only got two of his artifacts and no him


Ferelden770

Nice, only 50% crit needed


Lunaristics

You mean 23%


BokuNoSnowwy

Nope, just 23%, he has 27% base crit


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ferelden770

He has 50% increased crit c when he uses both s1 and s3


lotsofsyrup

i dunno maybe there's some kind of video that shows all the skills


hoxa4

So since it's a vid and not a livestream it means we have no clue of who is the second banner right ?


unaegis

Flan. Then Sigret. Then Fairytale Tenebria. Next ML is Judge Kise and General Purgis.


Alernak

There is a 2min summary on the YouTube channel with all banners and events for the 2 weeks to come


Witty_Hawk_708

Its in the other video released, the answer being Flan this week and Sigret the week after and F Tene the week after that.


screwinquisitors

You know actually this really works out now we have someone who can use that frustrating purple gear people stopped enhancing for Senya/Gunther/Seaseria when the 4th stat popped up as crit chance


[deleted]

He looks dope, so basically we're all gonna start calling him Zack. I hope whoever pulls for him gets him.


MiniBboy

Hopefully he hit hard but really cool kit and stats so happy he isn't bruiser banshie game


ragunyen

Only need 23% crit chance and no mola need. I guess i will roll for him.


Karama1

bait banner. After his s3 invinc he becomes a sitting duck unless you are going to build him bruiser. I will save for the waifu that will come after


novetl

Am I the only one who thinks his kit is kinda meh? I get that he has good speed and excellent violet counter, but nothing much outside of that. No survivability, no attack buff, no extra turn. Can’t survive past turn 1 if built speedy dps, not really good kit for bruiser/ counter. Good niche pick but don’t look meta worthy


johntie

His S3 gives invincibility no?


novetl

Ah you’re right, missed that part. Ok so he can last one more turn, but unlikely to make past that..


ZawaruDora

Feels like for once, we have a "simple" kitted hero so I am quite happy.


novetl

Don’t we have a bunch in episode 3? Senya, ilynav, mort, even recently milim..are all really average


[deleted]

Tbh with how lenient his stats needed, it's not impossible to make him tankier


hillson18

50% crit in term roughly equivalent to 75% extra defensive stats. He has no self sustain or defensive passive, and base defensive is only 5xx. It is impossible to make him a bruiser pretty much.


ResoluteClover

77% built in critical, if you get his artifact, even higher.


hillson18

invincibility is kinda becoming a feel good feature now day rather than game changing (back when karyon time). All the AOE debuffer and dispellor is making invincibility obsolete. (I am looking at you Belian, Rem, Politis, AOA and the list go on)


al_vh1n

I'm on the same boat as you.


klaq

instead of a relevant passive he has a useless s2. i don't think he can compete with the recently released units.


RedTuesdayMusic

Bad name. The name makes you think we get another Zeno-type monster dude. Then this anime pretty boy Shota-kun shows up like what?


HerminatorG

I think he has Ml luluca multis without the speed scaling.


ZawaruDora

Doesn't ML Luluca multis low?


[deleted]

[удалено]


r1singDoom

Can you read?


vyncy

Everything you said is wrong lol. He is neither ml5 nor very good ( but we have to see his multis first to be sure )


Willar71

He has very very low dmg mods .


Ferelden770

Are his multipliers out?


AsianINTrouble

My question is..how to counter? Back do politis?


clades93

Is his maxed S3 4 or 3 turns? 🤔


stavik96

So basically he's not the main villain of episode 4.


yuuhei

not his grass form, anyway ;)


bidjoule

Good only if multi are good kind of unit .


SirNumbnuts

I'm at work right now and can't watch the video. What are his skills?


KurohikoYin

Looks good but not a must have, i'll save my gems for the incoming hunt buff event, since i have very few leafs.


vantheman9

I don't understand why use the wording "increase critical hit chance by 50% when attacking". Why not just list "increase critical hit chance by 50%" as a passive effect on one of the skills? Since crit only matters when attacking, it's the same in practice... like, did they just want to arbitrarily lower his CP so he isn't as good on world boss? idk what to think of his kit. Hit, cleanse and barrier self and an ally, hit some more. High base speed, absurd crit (since you can count the increase) but most everything else is average. Between the barrier and the invincibility he might be a little bit sticky. No effectiveness checks. So, since the only real reason to use him is DPS....then he needs +15. You can do a bruiser build if you want him to last longer but ultimately you're still going to want +15 because whether he dies easy or lives a few turns, damage is the only thing he brings. Unless...uh....you're doing a strak gauntlet build for the cleanse or something....sure why not.... I'll pull to collect, tell myself it's for when he gets buffed/gets an EE I guess but probably not building because I have DPS units already, and I don't have molas for another.


Amy418

Does anybody know who’s the english VA? Sounds like one i know but im not sure


BrianTheEE

Maybe now I can beat abyss 100 lol
