How to Use this Hero[]

Skill Breakdown[]

When fully ascended Emperor Zulkodd can make enemies disapear with his Banished debuff. The banished target is inactive for the duration of the debuff. Into the Pit can be resisted, especially by Dark Heroes, dodged, and parried by Samurais ( Samurai Takumi and Hansuke Undying). Constructs are immune to Banished but still suffer the 50% health loss.

Banished characters will die if their allies are defeated and the debuff is still active. If the target is the last enemy alive then Into the Pit will instantly kill the target.
