Zenonia 4 Slayer Guide | Stat/Skill Builds

91

By ttocs

The Slayer

As the most straightforward character in Zenonia 4, the Slayer is usually (along with the Slayer-like choices in the previous games) labeled as a “beginner” class. While this is slightly true, using the Slayer definitely doesn’t immediately turn Zenonia 4 into “easy-mode” (unless you decide to use G-Points to overpower yourself). You do die a lot less than the other characters though, as well as retain way more money. Strong 1v1 attacks, as well as some awesome AOE’s make the Slayer... well, good at slaying things.

Stat Build

Pure STR – This build is surprisingly fragile, especially to bosses. Pumping all your points into STR ensures maximum damage, but leaves you without a lot of HP. With this build, you probably want to skip out on the offensive passive skills and buffs until the later levels, as you won’t need them.

Hybrid – This build consists of adding 2 CON every 3 levels, or if you’re having any trouble with mobs/bosses, adding 1 CON per level. A great mix of damage and defense; this is probably one of the easier builds of any class in Zenonia 4 to play, but it’s still a lot of fun.

Skill Build

This is a skill build up to level 40ish for the Slayer. It’s geared towards the hybrid build, but can basically be applied to all of them. If you’re a pure STR, go for defensive/evasive passive skills first, and if you’re a tank, you can skip out on “Defense Skill” and other passive skills of that kind.

LvI 2 – Armor Break (1)
LvI 3 – Potion Plus (1)
LvI 4 – Potion Plus (2)
LvI 5 – Concentration (1)
LvI 6 – Concentration (2)
LvI 7 – Concentration (3)
LvI 8 – Concentration (4)
LvI 9 – Concentration (5)
LvI 10 – Sword Skill (1)
LvI 11 – Sword Skill (2)
LvI 12 – Sword Skill (3)
LvI 13 – Sword Skill (4)
LvI 14 – Sword Skill (5)
LvI 15 – Sword Skill (6)
LvI 16 – Sword Skill (7)
LvI 17 – Sword Skill (8)
LvI 18 – Sword Skill (9)
LvI 19 – Sword Skill (MAX)
LvI 20 – Earth Break (1)
LvI 21 – Explosiveness (1)
LvI 22 – Explosiveness (2)
LvI 23 – Explosiveness (3)
LvI 24 – Strengthening (1)
LvI 25 – Whirlwind (1)
LvI 26 – Explosiveness (4)
LvI 27 – Explosiveness (5)
LvI 28 – Explosiveness (6)
LvI 29 – Sacrifice (1)
LvI 30 – Power Link (1)
LvI 31 – Power Link (2)
LvI 32 – Power Link (3)
LvI 33 – Power Link (4)
LvI 34 – Power Link (5)
LvI 35 – Power Link (6)
LvI 36 – Power Link (7)
LvI 37 – Power Link (8)
LvI 38 – Power Link (9)
LvI 39 – Power Link (MAX)
LvI 40 – Defense Skill (1)
LvI 41 – Dragon Aura (1)
LvI 42 – Dragon Aura (2)

At this point, you should have a pretty good idea of where to add the rest of your skill points. Basically just max out all the passive abilities, sans Furious Speed (I don’t like this skill because I usually like to group up enemies, and moving too quickly loses aggro on a lot of mobs). Your main attacks are Armor Break, Earth Break, and Whirlwind – they’re much more effective than the other active skills. Sword Wave is too one-dimensional and Battle Howl does the opposite of what you want. Blackhole Sting can be useful, but lacks the pull-power that you’d ideally want out of it until investing a lot of skill points. Avatar is really only useful for the HP up 50%, to tank a boss or to run away from a sticky situation.

Tips

  • Just a small tip: Armor Break is a skill that you’ll be using a lot in the beginning of the game. It hits twice, each hit knocking the enemy back a bit. Try to pin your enemy against a wall so both hits land, or your second one may miss. If you can’t do that, then run up as close as you can.
  • Pick your Fairy’s rune and skills according to your Slayer’s build. If you’re a pure STR or hybrid, odds are you’re lacking a bit of defense. Get skills that compensate for stats like HP and CON.
  • If you’re finding your Slayer a bit too easy, mix it up by adding some DEX. You’ll get more avoid and critical rating without having too much attack/defense.

Its says to get strengthing at lvl 2? And the passive requires you to be lvl 15? I'm confused :/

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

I'm working on it. Mine is still a pretty low level so it may take a few days.

Serg 4 months ago

So what do you recommend? Pure str build or hybrid build?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

Pure STR if you don't mind a bit of a challenge, Hybrid if you don't want to die a lot

Serg 4 months ago

Pure str it is. I want to die a lot lol. Thanks for the guide!

Mosh 4 months ago

Can you help please I can't choose between Druide and slayer which would you personally recommend I keep using blader class but I always die

Nam 4 months ago

What a good skill for slayer in pvp ?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

@mosh - if you don't want to die a lot definitely pick slayer.

@Nam - gear matters a lot more than stats for PVP. A pure str would be able to kill their enemy quickly, but die quickly as well, as opposed to the tank which could take some damage.

Nam 4 months ago

Im level 82 in hell mode i got 9.5k att and 2.4k def and 13k health but i keep dying in pvp

Hi ttocs, I can't pump my power link skill without one skill point on sacrifice. I followed your guide so I'm stuck at this point now. What should I do?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

My bad, I edited it. Just add a point into sacrifice and then add into Power Link.

Ccrivera86 4 months ago

So does this game not end? I just beat shaturu or what ever his name is but the game just restarted in hard mode. What's up with this?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

I don't like the format either - you have to beat the game again in hard mode to get the "real" ending

Facepalm 4 months ago

Hi ttocs, do you recommend using avatar skill?? And if I want to focus on that skill do I boost int?? Thanks

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

I personally don't use avatar, but you can try it out (save before you add the skill point, and if you don't like it, restart Zenonia). Nope, you still focus on STR/CON

Ccrivera86 4 months ago

Thanks Ttocs, I guess I'll just have to keep on playing. At least we get to keep all stats and gears.

That guy 4 months ago

Just a quick question, why do you have potion plus in the skill build list? Is it beneficial if I'm going for the full CON build?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

It saves TONS of money no matter which build you use. If you want to be OPTIMAL, you could skip the skill, but I don't recommend it.

Bubblez 4 months ago

U say adding 2 con every 3 level.. So that rest goes to STR?

I love your guide! Helped me a ton.

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

poweeer - they all have their perks, in my experience, slayers are pretty great in PVP. I dont suggest you choose a class based on PVP though

nosrac - no problem :)

dongybear 4 months ago

what are the g-points and what do you mean by 'overpowering' your charc?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

oops i meant ZEN. You can straight up buy stats with zen... which will make your character pretty overpowered if you had a lot.

Dougy 4 months ago

I made a slayer he's at lvl 24 I'm following the guide with the skill sets, in every level im adding 2 to Str and one to Con/dex/int. Should I keep doing this?

SuicideFaction profile image

SuicideFaction 4 months ago

Is 2 INT and 1 DEX per 2 levels and rest to CON a good build?

ttocs profile image

ttocs Hub Author 4 months ago

dougy- if it's working out for you, keep going. Dex and Int aren't great for slayers though, look at the stat builds for more info on that.

SF- Eh I hesitate adding too much into INT for a slayer. Dex is alright though, for some crit, but I prefer just sticking with con and str

stefandos2 4 months ago

hey ttocs just wondering my slayer is lvl 42 so what skills would be good to choose now? and im having real trouble against the boss monster in the forgotten hidden temple 2 and just wondering whats your advice in beating it as a slayer

slayer full CON with "POWER LINK" level max seems to be great!

Killingmachine 3 months ago

hi, great guide, but I thought strengthening was a good skill? It seems that you could up the attack like a boss with it, so wouldn't it be good to invest more points in it? And anyway, if I replace it with something else, what would you recommending replacing?

Tuft64 3 months ago

Hey ttocs, think you could post guides for Zenonia 3: The Midgard Story? I've managed to get to lvl 21 with my shadow assassin, due to overuse of passives, but I'm having a lot of trouble fighting bosses, and have already used both Origins you start with, and I don't like using IAPs.

Oh, and I have a problem here, won't your char's SP be super low? XP

Loso 3 months ago

Hey ttocs, my slayer's build is pure str. Do you still recommend on learning power link to level10?

Tuft64 3 months ago

I wouldn't reccomend it, because a pure STR build is really strong ATK wise on its own, and that's a total waste of ten skill pints if you do. Maybe invest in something that adds CON or DEF. both would be good.

Loso 3 months ago

Thanks tuft64!

Tuft64 3 months ago

Glad I could be of help. Also, you may want to invest in Potions+, because it'll save a STR slayer a lot of health, since they don't have very high max hp, plus it saves you a ton of money. It's a skill basically any slayer should have, and for you who don't know what passives to invest in past 42, I would suggest Potion+, because ttocs' guide only has it at lvl 1, and it's a WAAAAAYY better skill than that. Also, try to max out your actives and buffs if you're a CON slayer, because a CON slayer needs all the extra attack that he or she can get

kidrobot 3 months ago

just wondering, does potion plus also works with hp/mo ELIXERS?

Bumby 2 months ago

@lagg here's what you need to do.on the menu, go to inventory. tap the item you want to dispose or throw away and it should show 4 options. one of those options is to drop the item. but if you're just in town, i recommend selling that item you wanted to dispose. this'll help especially on the early stages of game.

Got a level 86 blader and 4 Uniques. Do you have an idea of where to farm good items in hell mode? Most of the mobs are taking a while to beat in hell,, Grrrr. Too bad I was not able to farm materials for a level 95 weapon. I currently playing my slayer level 22. I wish players can trade items here, that'll be cool

Quick tip for people finding the start difficult with fragile characters:

You can destroy the crates in the town you start in to get health and mana potins (s) and then if you go to the forest and straight back to town without completing the quest the crates are back so its an easier start to the game :)

jswag42 2 months ago

is shanturu easier on slayer or blader?

jdejdhdh 7 weeks ago

what about a build like each level 2con and 1str? because you get att from power link. is this viable?

gnuen 6 weeks ago

@sikichi : In the normal mode , u can beat it easy if u have good item set. I don't recommend to buy stats. U should use your skill to defeat it.

Wat is da "real" ending of da game

Wtfdude 3 weeks ago

Dude I'm pure CON and all I do is miss..... And die quickly AND do low damage... And I followed the guide.

Finn 2 weeks ago

Would this be a decent idea? What If I followed a pure STR build but got avatar? Would I not give me 50% more HP and I could still have the massive ATK stat of a pure STR Slayer. So would this be a valid build?

Teddyboy 2 weeks ago

@Wtfdude : u can make a sheath stone and use it. it give u a bonus status such as +Dex , +Str , + Con. It is very helpful for your character.

@Finn : Avatar have a time limit so u gain 50% more HP for a few sec. but it u want to build pure STR Slayer. U can do it and U can use a sheath stone for your extra Con status.

pown94 2 weeks ago

So guys, i've beat the game in hard modec and is in hell mode... There is nothing for me to do except running around killing stuff... Any suggestion would make my day ^^ thanks

Javi21 2 weeks ago

What stats should build up when leveling up I'm a lv.53 slayer with 1.98 k Attk and 780 def. Anyone have a clue???

Jabberwock 2 weeks ago

pure con or hybrid? and what skills do you recommend for pure con?

Slayer 2 weeks ago

Great guide helped me a lot. Tank build helps get so much money fast. To those saying they die to quickly with "tank" slayer, did you expect to be able to just stand there and take on damage from boss's with no challenge at all. Try moving away from the attacks. If you still think tank build dosnt work play a druid and you will see the difference.

Sam 10 days ago

HEY TOCCS so if u use hybrid what's the other point for? Coz u use it only for con right
