Zelot: Difference between revisions

'''Zelot''' (Japanese: {{hl|ゼロット|Zerotto}} ''Zelots'') is a playable [[paladin]] in {{FE6}} who first appears in [[The Ostian Revolt|Chapter 7]]. He is the lord of [[Edessa]] and the leader of a mercenary squad who are hired by Lord [[Hector]] of [[Ostia]] to help [[Lycia]] in the war against [[Bern]].

Zelot's main problem is low long-term combat potential. His growths are poor across the board, so his stats will not increase very much, and mounted growth units such as [[Alen]], [[Lance (character)|Lance]], and [[Noah]] are going to outgrow him. However, thanks to his class and excellent weapon ranks, he can stay useful for a while. His bases are good enough to survive and contribute until at least Chapter 14, and ''The Binding Blade'' values high-movement units because of the maps' large size.

He suggests Juno to return home to take care of their baby, but can only offer weak objections to Juno's arguments against it.<ref>{{Cite|'''Zelot:''' I don't think it's a good idea to leave a newborn baby to someone else.
