I felt exactly the same as you about her. I levelled her up asap and max emblemed her attack route, the stats seemed absolutely amazing for a 4* hero, butā¦ And thats a huge but. Her hitting only the wings dosnt benefit the fight at all when using her on attack. I always aim to kill the tank first, i dont care if the wings have defence down or not. Also her special attackās damage was absolutely garbage, even against 4* heroes. I used her through 1 tournament (not the current one) so i had enough testing of her. Did also use her on wars against 5* heroes, yeah I dont recommend that. The damage she dealt was close to nothing. And the defence down is useless when its on wings.
On attack, absolutely no help for me except for her stats made usually her the last hero to stand. But if there was many enemies left it didnt make any difference if she was the last one standing, her damage is just garbage. I feel bad that some people here have used their aethers on her. Cant tell about her on defence though, but I wouldnt use my aethers on a hero that just sits on defence but when you play her yourself it just is garbage.
I have two Zilaās. One maxed and one still at 1/1. Is it usefull to use two Zilaās on attack ? First one to give defense debuffer to the wings and the second for the finish.
Iād say that is a high risk strategy. Depending on how you emblem her, she can be fairly fragile. But I actually like her speciaI. I Have two myself but canāt really justify levelling up the second one atm. She also requires a support hero or so I believe. (I prefer a splash attack over the use of snipers). I canāt imagine her being effective on defence either.
I took the defense health path on the talent grid as much as possible, so this is mine.
She is not a bad hero but if you compare with common blue 4* and 3* she is not that great in any situation. The mosconception comes from the fact that her special is similar to Jabberwockās, but the thing is her damage is very limited. 185% even if Limit Broken and fully emblemed is not so great
Let me elaborate and compare with similar heroes like:
Costume Gunnar (-44% def down, 5 turns) - Best non 5* blue def down and increases damage output for 2 more turns than her
Grimm ( -34% def down, 6 turns, high tile damage) - Increases damage output for 3 more turns than her
Given that, I can see why people who are missing the above heroes would level and use her in various places of the game, but if that is not the case I donāt find her really valuable
Anyone who has 2 of them?
I donāt, but if they both flank a good tank, I can see them as awesome defensive heroās.
The advantage = you know which opponent heroās youāre (systematically) targeting, likewise with def down AND if they attack at the same time its a win with 1st def down, but if they donāt attack at the same time its difficult for the opponent to time his dispell.
I got her today. I really like her design, her special skill on pappers read really powerful and the icing on the cake is that shes fast speed. I was going to level her over frank costume, grimm or sonya before i read this thread.
Personally Iād take a costume Sonya over Zila any day but she has a niche use but has to be used appropriately. If you have no snipers charged, the defense down on the flanks is useless, the more times you use her, the more effective she becomes as when you get to flanks, tiles are deadly again.
A quick question hereā¦ I recently maxed Zila Lei and been using her for war depth and noticed that if one enemy is left and the enemy has a defense down higher than 34% then the 1st attack from the SS has a higher damage than the 2nd attackā¦
Is this expected behavior?
As per the card description, the 34% defense down happens after the double damage is received. So why is it that the 2nd attack deals less damage? I am assuming its because the lesser defense down applied after the 1st hitā¦ but that should happen after both attacks are done.
Hmm kinda annoying to bring this hero on any team that does aoe defense down of more than 34%ā¦
If you donāt mind please ask staff since the card says that the damage is doubled if one hero is left. It doesnāt say that the SS will trigger again after the 1st hit. I know wording is tricky but I think its worth checking.
Just wanted to follow up with the below screenshot. Basically, if the enemy doesnāt have any defense down, Zila Lei hits both SS attacks with the same damage so this shows that Zila Leiās SS DD is not applied until after both hits are done.
