# Zorro — Anime Apocalypse Ability

> Inspired by **One Piece — Roronoa Zoro (the Pirate Hunter)**.

**Tier:** C · **Rarity:** rare
**Credibility:** tier_1_discord · **As of:** 2026-05-13

## Kit

Signature: Three Sword Style — Onigiri. Skills — m1: 3 hits · z: 35 · x: 9×5 = 45 · c: 25×6 = 150 · g (mastered): 200 · v: not yet documented. Starter sword ability; replaced by mid-tier rolls within hours of play.

## Notes

**Zorro** is the *One Piece*-themed starter ability — a C-tier sword kit that every new player rolls into. It is fine for the first 30 minutes but is consistently outclassed by every mid-tier pull.

## Canonical IP attribution

Zorro (in-game spelling) is internally referred to as **Zoro** — Roronoa Zoro, the *One Piece* Straw Hat swordsman known as the "Pirate Hunter". This is confirmed by:

- The official Discord `❔ faq` channel — _Title Database_ thread by [AFK] murd' (2026-05-07) explicitly lists "The Pirate Hunter (Zoro)" as the +5% DMG ability title
- The signature *Three Sword Style* / *Onigiri* / *Asura* skill names are direct One Piece references

## Base damage (Foong, 2026-05-12)

| Skill | Output |
|---|---|
| **m1** | 3 hits |
| **z** | 35 |
| **x** | 9 × 5 = 45 |
| **c** | 25 × 6 = 150 |
| **g (mastered)** | **200** |
| **v** | Mastery-100 V-skill (not yet documented in Discord) |

Zorro's `g` (200) is **even lower than Nen Prodigy (300)** — placing it at the bottom of the documented `g`-DPS roster. There's no multi-hit profile or trait synergy to elevate the kit beyond starter status.

## Recommended weapon upgrade

Per Lunatic's _Best Upgrade for Weapon_ thread (2026-05-05) — Zorro base weapon stats DMG/CD = **5/2**. Recommended upgrades:

- **Reaper trait**: 6 DMG / 1 CD
- **Flash trait**: 7 DMG / 0 CD

Even fully upgraded the kit is starter-tier — invest spins into rolling a Mythic ability (Pride / Shadow Monarch / Coyote) and treat Zorro as the bridge ability.

## Title
