Moonlight Summon Champion Zerato is a Dark Mage with the Horoscope Aries that you can summon from the Moonlight Summon.
Provides AoE attack and defense break
Counter attacks when debuffed and heals himself
Transfer two debuffs to enemy and can hit 2 enemies
Immune to sleep, stuns and decrease hit chance!
Low base speed
Low base health
Hard to use as an arena opener due to slow speed
S1 no longer ignores resistance
The new Zerato can now solo Azimanak 11 with ease using life steal gear. His new changes gives him hp% heal per use of skill 1. That means he will heal and counter attack 2 enemies every time he gets debuffed.
With the A11 Queen bleeding you constantly, ML Zerato gets to counter attack while hitting one of the eggs. Very effective I would say. You do need a lifesteal set to make it happen though. The extra healing keeps him alive.
As for PvP, he now directly counters Dizzy or any heavy debuffer, so he does have a role there now. All in all, he is a solid pick since he also provides defense break and attack down in his kit. Update: As of August 2020, the fact he transfers debuffs no longer ignores effect resistance of his enemies. This makes him a little less useful, but he’s still pretty good.
When you’re going to build him in PVE, you can make him as squishy as you like, and focus solely on his damage. However, in PVP, you do want him a bit bulky so he can take a hit or two. When building him for PVE, you’ll want to aim for about:
When you’re using the Lifesteal build, make sure to use the Lifesteal pieces that the lower floors of Abyss give you. He’s a good contender for those pieces (not to mention that below floor 100, there is yet another set of Lifesteal gear available).
In PVP, you want about the same thing, with the addition of:
As you can see, a PVP Champion Zerato is very stat-hungry. He’s also one of the few units that would actually suffer with Immunity on him, as he wouldn’t be able to counterattack and throw the enemy’s debuffs back at them. You can build him very bulky and sacrifice damage stats, however this would (of course) lead to less damage. Doing this means you’d need Fairy Tale for a Nightmare on him.
Note: You can use an Effectiveness ring on Champion Zerato, but doing so would end up sacrificing a lot of damage or bulkiness.
