Description

The Zealot is one of three Melee Warrior variants that the player can choose from. They have a Whirlwind ability where they rapidly spin in place when attacking, dealing splash damage to enemies around them. This gives them the highest damage output of the three variants. The damage dealt by Whirlwind is low, making the Zealot a "burst" attacker, best for fighting clusters of small enemies, in exchange for the Centurion's support skills and the Sentinel's longevity. The Zealot also has a different attack from the Centurion and Sentinel, doing one attack of 16 damage rather than 2 attacks of 8 damage. This makes them more effective against armored targets, as they have less of a damage penalty.
