Playstyle

Base form:

  1. Press 1 (Righteous Charge): charge that knocks down enemies, or acts as a dash if used from melee range
  2. Press 2 (Zeal Whirlwind): close-range slam

Transformed form (Inquisitor, activate Press 3 / Judgment Day when fully charged):

  1. Press 2 remains the slam
  2. Press 1 (Dies iræ) becomes a vacuum that partially pulls enemies toward you
  3. During the transformation, you are immobilized and vulnerable, so it’s best to activate Press 3 outside of fights to heal and then return to fight
  4. Never transform mid-fight.

You can ENRAGE Zealots yourself before fight with a Scorpio: https://discord.com/channels/970521195558613002/1418389922188103790/1422852225926955060

Once “fire” mode is ON, it stays until the end of the game, even if you swap units or die.

Tips & Tricks

  • Malice passive note: the description says “get kills” but actually counts artillery/treb kills, hero kills, AND taking hits (any damage amount) all count toward Mad Malice. Reference clip: https://medal.tv/fr/games/conquerors-blade/clips/lcYBwtfYDMkOldcWA?invite=cr-MSxlZ1csMzI4NDY5MDYy&v=84
  • when not transformed (or transformed but without spell), it’s BETTER to X-move close to a fight and let them aggro RATHER THAN pressing V. Try this in custom game vs AI and see how much better it is.
  • Be careful: once the transformation animation starts, you CAN’T cancel it. You’re stuck until the animation finishes.
