==Strategy==
When charged up, the Zivko's abilities are very powerful. Two charges is sufficient to kill most enemies with a single Blast, though some may require three. This is very useful when facing enemies with healing abilities.
Due to the way the damage formula works, Zivko's Blast benefits strongly from runes and effects that boost Attack, as well as using Motivation Points to boost its damage. However, by this same token, Blast damage is strongly reduced by high Armor, so it is recommended Zivko use other strategies for those enemies.
Zivko is somewhat vulnerable, and it may be necessary to have Hildie protect him whilst he charges up.
Zivko is less effective against enemies that can remove or shorten buffs, as this will make it difficult for him to charge up. 
Using a charged-up Boost rather than Blast can be a more optimal choice in many situations. For example, a boosted Reverend can make short work of bosses or other problematic enemies that would shrug off Blast damage.
Blast Prism is very useful for dealing with high enemy numbers or simply killing enemies behind protection. Fully charged, it can clear an easier encounter by itself or wipe out weaker enemies supporting a boss.
Magnetic Field seems to be an odd addition to Zivko's kit, but it gives him some flexibility. In a way, it turns him into a super-Hildie for one encounter, mitigating huge amounts of damage (usually enough to win the fight). It pairs well with a healer like the Reverend to keep Zivko healthy.
===Inspirations===
Hildie's Dedication: A good choice to aid his survivability against his naturally poor Armor. The death save also comes in handy if you plan to use him as a tank with Magnetic Field.
Ephrem's Focus: It doesn't heal for much, but because Boost improves Armor, even a small heal can make a huge difference. The auto-Sanctuary is extremely useful for giving Zivko time to build charges, with the added benefit of boosting Charge Up's quickening effect.
Nadia's Trickery: While usually an extremely poor choice due to Zivko's need to build up charges, with the Auto Charge skill it is possible for him to open with a strong attack. However, Trickery is still generally better saved for more reliable openers.
