| Pineapple said: Zihark can't survive a crit from anything. That makes him pretty much completely useless by part 3, as mostly everyone has a small percentage chance to crit him, even with his luck. Using Zihark is fine in easy/normal, but he's downright bad at hard. Scottie, I have no idea where you get the idea that Zihark has a lot more avoid than Meg at level 20/20/20. Meg's at 94% and Zihark is at 105%. Sure, there's a difference, but it doesn't make up for the def and res differences. Essentially, Zihark wins on offence, but he's still not going to be a damage dealer. Zihark doesn't do any job well, whereas Meg's at least a good defensive character. |
He's done well for me in hard mode so far, but now I'm feeling less confident about chapter 4
That's still a decent difference in terms of avoid. And the main reason why he is harder to kill is the vantage - Zihark has a 40% chance of striking first (more if you use the skill up items on him) and if he does, he will almost certainly kill the enemy, if given adept and crit+x skills. So essentially vantage multiplies the amount of damage he takes by 0.6. For Meg, the chance of vantage is 32% and she is unlikely to kill the enemy, even if she does have adpet and crit because her skill is lower, so vantage wouldn't really make her harder to kill at all.
That said, it could be that in chapter 4 in hard mode Zihark is no longer capable of killing people with vantage before they hit him, in which case he would suddenly become much easier to kill.
