Zelus

A+4,479
Vulnerability (M. DMG)

Before receiving a much-needed buff, Zelus was once terrible and without correct gearing may still be considered mid-tier at best. But with his exclusive gear and artifact, Zelus is arguably the best anti-heal unit in the game, with great faction synergy and an amazing look to boot.
