## Hero Guide

### Summary

Green Zaratras is a strong PVE unit designed to provide flash burst damage in specific content, such as Bellmoth Death Match, he’s a free unit given as a level 80 fully awakened by completing missions.

His entire kit revolves around dealing flash damage across all phases of the fight while taking advantage of the enemies’ high Crit Resistance with his Unique by dealing extra damage based on Zaratras’ Crit Chance if he doesn’t land a critical hit when he attacks.

### Pros

* Optimal damage dealer against Bellmoth boss
* Useful for situations where a mono-green team has an advantage

### Cons

* Limited utility for PvP unless he got his Holy Relic
* Unique is not useful with enemies that have low critical resistance

### Skill Review

**Purge of the Lightning God:** Zaratras’s first skill is named after his primary move, Purge, which is a secret Druid technique that erases abominable souls.  His innate power, Great Thunder, gives him the ability to generate and manipulate lightning, and so he is known as the Thunder God.  This skill does AOE Shatter damage, which ignores Resistance and is perfect against bosses especially Bellmoth who has high Resistance.

**Lightning God Sword:** Again named after Zaratras’s innate power of the Great Thunder, which gives him control over lightning, Lightning God Sword inflicts Charge damage against a single enemy.  Charge damage ignores the enemy’s Defense.

**Ultimate Move - Punishment of the Lightning God:** Zaratras’s Ultimate Move’s name references his strict and serious outward nature, and inflicts Charge damage against a single enemy, which ignores the enemy’s Defense.  Both Lightning God Sword and Punishment of the Lightning God are useful against Bellmoth.

**Unique - Lightning God:** Zaratras’s passive ability is similar to Green Festival Zeldris’s Cleave ability.  With this Unique ability, if a Critical Strike does not occur when the hero (Zaratras) attacks an enemy, then Zaratras’s damage dealt is increased by an amount that is equal to the Crit Chance.  This ability does not apply in PvP (Unless he got his Holy Relic), but it is very useful in PvE.  Equipping Zaratras with gear having Crit Chance sub stats will help to increase his damage that is dealt as a result of his Unique ability.

## Usage

Zaratras works in niche content. His Holy Relic makes him somewhat viable in PVP, but more well-suited units ultimately outclass him.

### PVP

Zaratras has close to no use for PVP, even with his Holy Relic there are better options than him.

### PVE

He can help in flash farming several stages, including some floors of Fort Solgres.

### Death Match

Zaratras is a decent option across all Death Match battles in Extreme and below but shines in Bellmoth even to its Hell level. Zaratras in combination with Green Liz, Green Zaneri (or Green Halloween Gowther, also given by free) and Green Thonar are the most used composition for this content, being able to clear it without Bellmoth being able to attack even once if Zaratras is completely upgraded.

Outside of Bellmoth, Green Zaratras can also be useful in situations where a mono-green or heavily HP-attributed unit team will have attribute advantage.  For example, Final Boss Diane, when available, is weak to HP attribute units and thus is susceptible to Green Zaratras’s attacks.  However, he has limited utility for PvP since there are many other units that serve better in PvP and he needs his Holy Relic to have his unique work there.

## Story

Zaratras is a Great Holy Knight and was once the strongest in the order of Liones' Holy Knights before his death ten years prior to the beginning of series.

He is also the father of the Holy Knight, Gilthunder, and was the Seven Deadly Sins' superior during their time as Holy Knights for the kingdom of Liones, prior to them being framed for his death.
