Zoltan is a Season 4 Shieldbearer. Use Zoltan when you defend or garrison: the War skill Redemption Shield gives all troops +16% DEF at Lv.5.
Exclusive skills: Arrest High-Energy Mode, War Redemption Shield.
Where this comes from: Zoltan’s hero and Exclusive Equipment screens, captured by MORÖX on S216 (Sep–Oct 2026).
Also from the game: all 6 hero skills (3 Arrest, 3 War) with Lv.1 to Lv.5 values, from Zoltan’s Skills screens (Oct 2026). Jump to skills.
Not yet measured: star upgrades.
What would change this: a game update to Extreme Chainsaw or to Zoltan’s skills.
When to use Zoltan
Zoltan’s War skill switches on only when you defend or garrison. In any other battle it does nothing, so a trio built for a different battle leaves Zoltan idle. Read the pick-by-battle table to see who else boosts defending battles.
Exclusive Equipment: Extreme Chainsaw
Shieldbearer HP and Lethality +77.6% at Lv.8.
Season 4 equipment adds +9.7% troop HP and Lethality per level, up to +97% at Lv.10 (499,500 power). Maxing it takes 550 parts. In most heroes the rate is set by season, not by the hero: see the Season Rule. Known exceptions: Tyronn and Phoenix.
Odd levels raise the Arrest skill, even levels the War skill
Exclusive skills
High-Energy Mode
Extends the duration of Fury Engine by 2.5 (3) second(s) and enhances the recovery effect of Final Gift by 60% (75%).
Arrest skills change how Zoltan fights.
Redemption Shield
Defending: all troops DEF +13% (16% at Lv.5).
War skills boost every troop, in one kind of battle.
Trios with Zoltan
Broad S4 defense: Zoltan covers mixed incoming damage, Lanchester tanks, Drake adds defensive Tactical pressure.
