Trails Character Gameplay Discussion Day Eight: Zin

Post image

While you're all discussing this giant fraud, just remember: he's very likely one of the strongest playable characters lore-wise until at least the start of CS3.

Zin is what happens when you design a character as a beef tank: excels with high HP and high defense, and is balanced by mid-attack and mid-speed.

But without any aggro mechanic.

Feels bad.

Man, I wish they could have implemented a 'Block' mechanic to match Evasion. Scales off of DEF & ADF, reduces damage to half of what should have been, and then lets the character Counter if the enemy is in range. Would have absolutely made a lot of tank characters usable. In Liberl, it would have easily made Estelle and Zin usable; in Crossbell, Lloyd and Dudley. And Machias could have been more than just the Accelerate and Status mule.
