*NEW! Female Skin Zenith for 10K Subs!
*ChineseS + Italian

The Zenith approaches the Hamlet with an unwavering smile on his lips. He's an acrobatic fighter who cuts with his charm and his spear. With an oath in service to the god of honor and brotherhood, the Zenith inspires calm in his allies through bravado; helping to distract them from the horrors of adventuring. When required, he can set aside his jovial attitude and manifest the power of the Golden Janissary Style. This combat style affords great flexibility powering up combination moves to prepare for a devestating final attack that strikes out against eldritch and unholy enemies with righteous fury. His dedication to being an inspiring sun for his allies comes at the cost of his durability. He is an unarmored, mobile dancer who moves through the ranks of his allies. The Zenith's hedonistic personality will neither amuse the pious nor inspire trust in people with impressionable spouses.

Roles
Primary: Stress Healer, Acrobatic Fighter
Other: Disable Enemy Stress Skills, Break Guard, Stun, Move, Riposte

Combat Skills
Zenith has 2 sets of abilities. He starts combat in Heroic Stance with supporting skills. He can choose to use Golden Janissary Style and change to Janissary Form 1 where he proceeds through sets of abilities that climax at Janissary Form 3, with strong finishing skills. Upon completing his combinations, the Zenith will revert back to Heroic Stance (or he may choose to revert back at any time).

Zenith may look complicated, but he's really simply to use: just click an available skill in each mode!

Also the spear spear specialization gives only the bleed resist bonus and not the damage bonus, other than that i am enjoying playing this class.
Vortexlortex 19 Oct, 2022 @ 12:32pm 
I noticed that, while playing around with his pet trinket lumi the accuracy bonus is given to the enemy instead of the zenith, is this intended?.
Adon  [author] 3 Jun, 2022 @ 10:10pm 
The final two skills he has are the only things that should be off screen. They are designed to scale off of weapon damage instead due to limitations of game's UI.
Mike Loeven 3 Jun, 2022 @ 8:22pm 
Is there a trick to leveling up the Zenith at the Guild hall his skill list is so large it overflows the screen and there does not appear to be any mechanism for scrolling or changing pages and thus some abilities remain locked or unable to be upgraded

I love the idea of a stress healing frontliner, but this character has way too much text on each ability. Less is more, mate.
Adon  [author] 17 Jan, 2022 @ 4:20pm 
I suppose as a small teaser for this story... (not a final version of the comic, I still want to prune it down)

His story is something I am intended to capture in a comic at some point. It is part way done, but the TL:DR is that he supported a friend in become an adventurer and as a result, that friend was killed. Helped her train, funded her equipment, pushed her towards her goals and in the end, it just went badly. In her final moments she tells him not to let the world take his smile. So he got revenge on the fellow who did the deed and took up the mantle of heroing in her place, trying to inspire people like she would have and in his own ways.

I think I've picked up all of Zenith's trinkets and I'm intrigued in the lore behind it. That "the road to hell is paved with good intentions bit" tickled me!
Adon  [author] 10 Jan, 2022 @ 10:22am 
Haha. don't worry, you aren't the first. My goal wasn't to aim make her outrageously sexy in the variation itself and very much a gender swap. Athletic gal with a "decency" guard. I might revisit it one day and see about making it a *little* more apparent but I'd say it comes through better with the rest of the skin's art. Either way you go, same outrageous back flips. He/she will be the highlight of the party! The Zenith of their day as it were :D

Oops thank you, it was a little subtle for my eyes lol
