## Hero Guide

[Elite Demon] Zeldris of Piety is the [Ten Commandments] leader.  He is Meliodas’s brother and has a very similar appearance and physique. He’s great at countering opponents trying to Ult Rush, because he can decrease their Ultimate Move Gauge orbs through his Commandment and skill. Zeldris is also equipped with a health recovery disrupting skill a useful skill to have inside PVP.

Red Zeldris has an Association with Demon Meliodas (since they are brothers, and 3000 years ago young Zeldris looked up to Demon Meliodas more than anyone else), which will give a special Association effect of added Attack.  Zeldris’s other brother, Estarossa, provides a special Association effect of increased Crit Damage.  Zeldris also has a special Association effect with King Arthur and increases Resistance.

### Pros

* Can disable recovery abilities for the enemies
* Equipped with a Depletes Ultimate Move Gauge orbs skill
* Increases allies’ basic stats by 6% for each partner or enemy with a Commandment
* With Zeldris’s Holy Relic, it can further increase basic stats by 6% (up to 5 times)

### Cons

* No AOE attacks
* Not a good replacement for Nebula Zeldris
* Need to be run with other commandment allies
* Requires his Holy Relic to perform well in PVP

### Skill Review

**Indicate Abyss** - Zeldris’s main damaging skill but also depletes the ultimate gauge when landing a successful attack. This skill is helpful for ultimate control whenever the enemy is prepping an ultimate or already has one. Using this skill on an enemy also activates Zeldris’s relic.

**Nimble Thread** - A debuff attack card that’s effect is to disable the recovery abilities of one opponent. A powerful skill to counter Tarmiel links or prevent the enemy from life-regening back HP.

**Reckless Line** - Straightforward ultimate that comes with the card effect Spike. Since Spike increases critical damage by 2 times landing a crit with Zeldris’s ultimate can deal heavy damage to the enemy.

**Leader of [The Ten Commandments]** - Zeldris’s passive/unique skill increases allies' basic stats by 6% for every commandment on the field. This also applies if the enemy team also has commandments on their team. Zeldris is also affected by his own passive so he applies 6% off at the start of the activity.

**Commandment of Piety** - A handy skill to have in battle. It’s a self-cleansing skill for you and your enemies (excluding death matches of course) anytime someone moves a card. Using the cleanse does come at a cost because it will take up an ultimate gauge.

## Gear recommendation

Since Red Zeldris is a support-based character in PVP and PVE HP and Defense will be the go-to gear for Zeldris. With Zeldris’s Holy Relic, it will be even more important to keep Zeldris alive on the field and assure all your units can reap the benefits of the Holy Relic.

Substats:

* Bracer/Ring - Attack
* Necklace/Earring -Defense
* Belt / Rune - HP

## PVP

Zeldris's skills and Commandment make him extremely useful for preventing an opponent from being able to Ult rush or use recovery skills.  Both when paired with and when countering a team that contains another Commandment, he becomes even more effective, with a 6% increase in all allies’ basic stats for each ally or enemy with a Commandment in play. A common team paired up with Zeldris is Festival Estarossa and Purgatory Meliodas. Red Zeldris is placed in a support role to Purgatory Meliodas increasing his basic stats from Zeldris’s passive and holy relic.

## PVE

His Commandment of Piety will have limited beneficial use in PvE because it depletes orbs whenever cards get moved around.  Since PvE enemies can’t move cards, this means that the only effect will be felt on your own movements, so if you are going to use Red Zeldris in any PvE team, then make sure you are not moving cards around to attempt to rush an Ult for any team members since Red Zeldri’s Commandment will negate that effort.

Eikthyrnir - Zeldris is a solid pick for this boss as he is an RGB unit, thus being useful in completing the Eikthyrnir mechanic and can inflict darkness on the bosss if Berserk Estarossa is on the team.

## Story

Zeldris is an elite warrior of the Demon Clan, serving directly under the Demon King as the leader and Piety of the Ten Commandments. He is also the younger brother of Meliodas, as well as the youngest son of the Demon King, whom Zeldris also serve as representative and executioner.

According to Meliodas, due to having being lent the magic power of the Demon King, Zeldris' power can equal that of the Demon King and Supreme Deity, and that he has the power to remove the curse on him and Elizabeth.
