GRASP OF HYDRA — Always Active
  • Upgrades to his intricate neural network grant Zola the #Psychic Shielding tag while in a fight.
  • Striking a Sleeping Opponent grants Zola an Unblockable Passive for 2.868256343 seconds.
  • When Zola’s Special Attacks remove his Disintegration Debuffs, each Debuff deals a final burst of 5.0 Direct Damage.
ALWAYS ACTIVE▾
  • Advanced robotics provides Immunity to Bleed and Poison, and Zola’s Ability Accuracy and Combat Power Rate can only be modified by his own effects.
  • The Critical Penetration of the Opponent’s Basic Attacks is reduced by -80% flat, and Zola cannot lose more than 10.0% of his Max Health from a single damage source, other than a Special Attack 3.
  • Zola’s first Medium and first Light Attacks are kinetic pulses that do not make contact.
SYSTEMS OF CONTROL▾
  • Zola can activate a Pre-Fight Ability to select either a Special 1 Lock or a Special 2 Lock. When Zola finishes a Special Attack, he inflicts the selected effect as a Passive for 20 seconds.
  • If neither Pre-Fight is selected, during the Opponent’s Special Attacks they are inflicted with a 30.0% Cowardice Debuff. As a Defender, this becomes a 90% Cowardice Passive.
ESP BOX — SLEEP▾
  • When Zola is struck by anything other than a Heavy Attack, he gains an indefinite ESP Charge. When Zola Blocks any hit, he gains 3 Charges. Max stacks: 30.
  • 20+ Charges: Before being hit by a Basic Attack, Zola has a 10% chance to consume all ESP Charges and inflict a Sleep Passive for 3 seconds. For each Charge over 20, the chance is increased by +5% flat. During a Well-Timed Block, the chance is increased to 100%.
  • If Zola is knocked down by a Heavy Attack, he loses 10 ESP Charges.
DISINTEGRATION GAUNTLETS — HEAVY ATTACKS▾
  • The first hit of Zola’s Heavy Attack inflicts a 0.5% Disintegration Debuff dealing 3.0 Direct Damage over 0.5 seconds. If the Opponent was not Stunned, inflict 5 additional Debuffs.
  • While the Opponent is suffering from any of these Disintegration Debuffs, all of Zola’s hits inflict another Disintegration Debuff.
  • These Disintegration Debuffs are paused while Zola is charging or performing a Heavy or Special Attack, and the final hit of Zola’s Special Attacks removes them.
SPECIAL ATTACK 1▾
  • On activation, gain a 10.0% Energize Passive for 60 seconds. Max stacks: -1.
  • The first hit grants a +30.0 Fury Buff for 4 seconds, paused until the start of Zola’s next Special Attack.
SPECIAL ATTACK 2▾
  • On activation, inflict a 40.0% Disintegration Passive dealing 50.0 Direct Damage over 10 seconds.
  • Each buzzsaw hit consumes 1 of Zola’s personal Energizes to inflict a 10.0% Disintegration Passive dealing 120.0 Direct Damage over 10 seconds.
SPECIAL ATTACK 3▾
  • Inflict an Armor Break Debuff, reducing Armor Rating by -30.0 for 20 seconds. Max stacks: -1.
  • Gain a Self-Repair Passive healing 100% of Zola’s missing Health over 20 seconds. This Self-Repair is lost if Zola is Stunned.
  • For each time this Special Attack has been used previously in the Quest, these effects’ base durations are tripled. Zola’s anti-exponential algorithms won’t let this increase more than 3 times.
