Зима — Review & Analysis
Zima is a Plant-element buff/debuff support: Paper raises the whole team's DMG dealt and Healing Received, Sparrow can Silence a single target, and her Ultimate is an AoE hit that also Seals the main target's Ultimate. Her F tier reflects modest personal damage, with the buff/debuff value only paying off in specific matchups.
- Paper buffs the whole team's DMG dealt and Healing Received by 15-25% for 2-3 rounds, a solid enabler for healer-based teams.
- Sparrow at tier ✦✦✦ Silences the target for 2 rounds, shutting down enemy Buff/Debuff/Heal/Counter Incantations.
- Her Ultimate is an AoE hit (250-350% with Exaltation) that also Seals the main target's Ultimate for 2 rounds, useful against ultimate-reliant bosses.
- Sparrow's personal damage (200-300%) and her Ultimate fall short of dedicated sub-DPS/DPS units, so she can't carry the damage role.
- As a Plant unit she takes +30% DMG from Beast-element enemies, and has no self-heal beyond a 10% DMG-taken reduction when her own HP drops below 50%.
Prioritize raising Sparrow (Incantation I) to tier ✦✦✦ first, since Exaltation Lv.2 pushes its Mental DMG up to 350% and adds a 2-round Silence; then raise Paper to reach the 25% team-wide buff lasting 3 rounds. Pair her with a support-type Psychube that boosts Mental DMG% or extends buff duration, since Zima's role is an enabler, not a damage carry.

Teams with Зима
Anjo Nala, Recoleta and Cornerstone all tap into Ultimate together with Moxie — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Ezra Theodore keeps the line-up alive with Shield so that payoff has time to land.
