- Recruited while the party seeks a raid battle member.
- Previewed partner role suggests protective support and area-focused combination value.

- Exact protection value, AoE range, and cooldown behavior.
Zash mirrors the heavy-commitment Two-Handed Sword identity. See the Two-Handed Sword route for the playstyle his profile suggests.
Partner value
Bring Zash when you want heavy pressure during boss damage windows. His known profile points toward a protective support layer and area burst value, which should make him useful when groups close in or a raid-style encounter needs fast enemy clearing.
Best pairings
He should pair best with player routes that create openings through shield safety, stagger, or partner command timing. Avoid pairing heavy commitment with heavy commitment until his protection timing is verified in-game.
Story hook
Zash is worth watching when you reach raid preparation. His arrival while the party searches for another battle member suggests he may introduce a higher-pressure party-composition problem rather than a simple side-character cameo.
What to test after launch
Check whether Zash's protective value is passive, command-triggered, or tied to a named Support Skill. For boss routes, the key questions are cooldown timing, whether his area burst interrupts enemies, and whether he can cover the player during long Two-Handed Sword recovery windows.
