Crit-scaling hybrid Tank and Assassin

At a glance

Guide notes

Role: Hybrid Tank/Assassin — Crit-scaling Stone Skin wall that Petrifies attackers and spreads Poison
Best for: Players who want one hero to both hold first contact and scale Crit into Defense/Magic
Strength: Stone Skin turns Crits into permanent Defense/Magic; Petrification punishes anyone targeting her
Weakness: Hybrid pools are greedy — without Crit she is a slow tank; without Defense she is a fragile Assassin

D TierRank #25 · Hybrid Tank/Assassin

Crit-scaling Stone Skin hybrid — greedy pools; strong only when Crit and tank stats both arrive.

Recommended build: Assassin Backline

How to play

Decision notes for shops and formation — not a copy of the in-game panel.

Early
She can open as a weird tank if you buy Crit and Defense together. Do not itemize pure Assassin greed while she is your only frontline.
Mid
Cruel/Stone Skin path = Crit permanent Defense/Magic. Serpent's Kiss = retaliate Poison + HP/S when hit. Bladedancer = Rush/Stall enhanced autos with heal. Pick scaling wall, retaliate Poison, or tempo hybrid.
Late
Crit relics feed Stone Skin. Assassin Ambush pieces still help, but keep enough tank stats to survive the taunt-like focus Petrification invites.
Positioning
Front-mid where enemies will target her so Petrification and Serpent's Kiss have attackers. She wants to be hit on purpose.

Ranks C → S

Draft a duplicate or use an eligible campfire event to rank up. Art below shows each rank portrait for Zuri.

Rank C

Base kit — the active ability is equipped and the starting stat line applies.

C — start with the active ability and base kit.
B — lock one of three specialization paths.
A / S — take the rank stat package, then draft class modifiers.

Abilities

Kit text from the Demo dump, plus short notes on how to play around each ability.

Active

Petrification
active
Petrify all enemies targeting Zuri, dealing 0.85 (+ 0% Magic ) damage, inflicting 1 Poison per Stone Skin trigger this game, and Stunning for 0 seconds.
In practice: Hits everyone targeting her — bait focus, then cash Poison/Stun. If nobody swings at her, the cast does little.

Passives

Stone Skin
passive
On Crit, permanently gain 1 Defense and 0 Magic. Triggers 100% Crit times per combat.
In practice: Crit is the multiplier — lean Crit relics/items once the baseline kit is online.
The Serpent's Kiss
passive
When auto attacked, inflict 1 (+ 0% Defense , + 0% Magic ) Poison on the attacker and gain 1 (+ 0% rank ) HP/S.
In practice: Status engine: stack Poison and keep enemies in the zone long enough to cook.
The Bladedancer
passive
For Rush (1), auto attacks deal 10 (+ 0% Crit , + 50% Magic ) bonus damage and heal 10 (+ 0% Crit , + 50% Magic ). After Stall (1), auto attacks deal 5 (+ 0% Crit , + 1 per 20 Defense ) bonus damage and heal 5 (+ 0% Crit , + 1 per 20 Defense ).
In practice: Play around Rush windows: pair Rush relics and do not expect burst before the threshold.

Specializations

The Bladedancer
For Rush (1), auto attacks deal 10 (+ 0% Crit , + 50% Magic ) bonus damage and heal 10 (+ 0% Crit , + 50% Magic ). After Stall (1), auto attacks deal 5 (+ 0% Crit , + 1 per 20 Defense ) bonus damage and heal 5 (+ 0% Crit , + 1 per 20 Defense ).
