SniperWeaverLANDAERIALazatacelestialholyfey

Zhuraitas are dedicated to the freedom of academic and scientifc inquiry, protecting the creativity and inventiveness of scholarly felds. Many good-hearted academics have breakthroughs due to a zhuraita's inspiration, notably with projects that have lasting positive impacts on others. Zhuraitas also travel to defend important centers of knowledge when they are in danger of destruction. Zhuraitas despise those who would use research as a tool of oppression, and there are even rumors of them sabo

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline body holds melee attention so the zhuraita can keep sniping and casting from the air unmolested.

SnareLANDA controller that grounds or slows pursuers keeps them from ever closing the distance the zhuraita's flight creates.

CrasherLAND / AERIALA burst striker finishes off targets the zhuraita has already softened from range before Thesis Shield needs to be relied on.

PUNISHES
