Playstyle Tips

Prioritize survival with HP, DEF, and DMG Taken Reduction builds to keep Zima alive for sustained buffs. Time Sparrow for Silence on healers or buffers, then chain into ultimate for Seal to lock enemy Ultimates, creating openings for DPS. 

Paper's dual buffs synergize with healers and attackers; maintain >50% HP for offensive edges, leveraging its conditional reductions. He's passive, so pair with aggressive DPS; avoid over-investing as a low-rarity unit.​
