Conceptual Design #017

🔰 PILOT'S BRIEFING: BEGINNER'S GUIDE

A Zaku equipped with a short-range flamethrower. Its base performance is low, but it excels at turning the tide once the fire is spread. The wide reach and stackable burning effect allow it to dominate group fights.

Note: Since it’s still fundamentally a Zaku, focusing enemy fire will melt you instantly. Play like an Escort-type Support—stick close to your allies and punish those who get too close.

STURDY DEFENSE, TOTAL ASHES.
THE SCORCHING JUGGERNAUT

"In a 300-cost meta of dodge-rolls, fire is the only truth that never misses."

[✦] TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: SHOCK ABSORBING SHIELD

The Shock Absorbing Shield is a specialized defense skill that redefines shield-like components as "Buffer Armor." Since it is technically categorized as a part and not a "Shield," it remains immune to Shield-Negating or Shield-Piercing effects, allowing for consistent protection against ranged fire. Note that it remains vulnerable to Heavy Attacks.

[🛡️] TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: ANTI-CLASS DEFENSE Lv2

[Disadvantage Mitigation]: A standardized module designed to mitigate damage penalties from class-based disadvantages. This Zaku reduces incoming damage from Support types by 15%, narrowing the defensive gap and allowing for aggressive approaches.

[+] ARMAMENT: FLAMETHROWER [SUB]

Inflicts "Burning" debuff. Cumulative 1,500 burn damage over 10 seconds. In this revised version, the fire persists through Emergency Evasion; while I-frames prevent damage during the roll, the debuff does not expire, ensuring the enemy burns upon landing.

[+] SPECIAL ABILITY: INFERNAL OVERLAP

Allows two Burning effects to stack simultaneously on a single target. Layering bursts can double the damage tick to 300 DMG/sec. A lethal threat to low-HP units and high-defense Raids alike.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW: THE MELTDOWN

Use the Shock Absorbing Shield and Anti-Class modules to close the distance against Snipers. Once in range, the Infernal Overlap becomes your primary tool for area denial. Be wary of the Acguy [TB]; its Freezy Yard remains the only reliable hard-counter to your incinerating advance.

EDITOR'S POSTSCRIPT

True mastery isn't just about striking hard—it's about neutralizing the advantages the enemy thinks they have. This Zaku systematically dismantles the hope of survival. If you're not near water, you're already ash.
