My account name is *TienJe on USWest, and I've had a zon in my PvP arsenal since early 1.09. I play legit characters, so I won't be considering hacked items in this guide. I'm always free to duel or to answer questions. | My account name is *TienJe on USWest, and I've had a zon in my PvP arsenal since early 1.09.

With the coming of 1.10 and the Enigma runeword, Zons became the prey in PvP. Zons cannot effectively function with the Enigma armor, as they need the damage and IAS to maintain good attack speed. Without teleport, they became the slowest of all characters, and with the other characters beginning to teleport, it was hard for the Zon to keep up. However, even in 1.11, the Zon stays at the top of the damage output ladder. Faith bow shooting at 7 FPA has one of the highest damages in the game. The task now is for the Zon to learn to dodge attacks and play the role of the prey. If the Zon is built correctly and under the hands of a good dueler, it is still very versatile and impressive. So, this hybrid zon seeks to combine the power of the faith bow with the protection and effectiveness of the one point wonders of the javelin tab. | With the coming of 1.10 and the Enigma runeword, Zons became the prey in PvP.

Decoy- will switch weapons when you switch. A true decoy. Because the decoy can be casted anywhere on the screen, it is also useful for covering you from melee. If you cast the Decoy right below your character so that the decoy covers your image up, any person trying to namelock you will namelock the decoy instead, serving the same purpose as casting TP’s over the zon. | Decoy- will switch weapons when you switch.

Toggle run/walk- When you run, your block is reduced to 33% of what it used to be. When running from or into physical missile/melee attacks, consider toggling to walk so that you block the attacks if you can’t outrun them. Walking is especially useful when charging another Zon in ZvZ. | Toggle run/walk- When you run, your block is reduced to 33% of what it used to be.

Zons are amazing in team duels. They have the highest damage output of all the characters, plus the arrows travel far and quickly. If you are a zon on a team, you need to be their center point. Have them protect and support you. Spam GA and MS at the opposing team, and pick up any leap/MB locks. Use MS to keep charging characters away. If you see another player getting attacked, shoot MS in that direction. It’s a huge deterrent for the opposing team, as MS will kill all the minions and block/stun lock the players it catches. Its area of effect is also huge. Make sure the necro amps if you have one. A zon centered team is arguably one of the strongest teams you can have in PvP. | Zons are amazing in team duels.
