Strategy guide for Prelate.Zeratul (Zeratul)
GIJoe members who excell with Zeratul are: Strider
1) Starting Talents: Might, Bloodthirst, Fury, Veteran, Fitness, Swiftness (4-1-1)
2) Order to learn the abilities: Q W E Q W R Q W Q W R E E E Y R Y Y
3) Build order of items:
1) Hunters Hatchet + 2 Fusion Blades
2) Fusion Blades --> Duran's Machette - life steal + health
3) Ocelots Revolver which makes zeratuls Q much more powerful.
4) Stun Knife (so they stop in the bubble)
5) Ocelots Revolver --> BlackHoleMagnum (BHM) (More damage on Q and more energy)
6) Adrenaline potion - the adrenaline is extremely good on zera, gives you just that little bit of bonus damage you need to get the kills. (Maybe add Tea Extract if you have trouble staying alive)
7) Stun Knife --> Time Splitter - The Evasion from this is pretty good as well as aditional Damage, Weapon Speed & Agility.
8) Phantom Menace - Lots of Agility + 5% Time scale + Bonus speed helps you to escape after bubble and kill.
9) Hand of Mengsk (HoM) - Reduces spawn time. Gives 8% Time scale! And 80 Agility. Amazing item.
10) Yamato Reactor - Huge Spell damage bonus + Extra timescale.
Khali Blade - damage is always nice.
11) Sell Durans machette and buy Eternity - Heaps of lifesteal + Damage and Agility.
SUMMARY OF ITEMS END GAME
BHM - TIME SPLITTER - PHANTOM MENACE - HOM - YAMATO REACTOR - ETERNITY.
4) A few notes about this character's specific game play style: Zeratul in my opinion will always be a great assassin. But until you get Ocelots and Stun knife he's not really effective at killing stuff, so watch for the ganks, and whenever someone is low grab the kill and once you've found someone that you can kill with bubble easily, harras them relentlessly. You need the extra feed.Other than that just farm up Zeratul is normally in jungles. Work on planaring next to tower and then bubble quickly, but be careful not to bubble your own tower or it wont shoot them. Don't forget you can planar yourself away if need be, I suggest you practice planars till you can do it in your sleep. Its quite important to be able to bubble quickly with zera, and jump quickly, your jump can be used to escape as well as engage jumping on a creep nearby after killing someone to escape is something not many people do but is really useful. Remember to keep your adrenaline potion going if you can afford it. And try to keep energy potions with you if you can, Zeratul runs out of energy rather quickly. I prefer to Bubble then Q in as its slightly safer and makes sure you're attacking them from behind, the bonus agility from attacking from behind is super important. You can chain kills because your Q cooldown resets after a kill but its risky because you take quite a bit of damage even though you're jumping around.
