Build Notes

updated for S18

This is a variant of The Only Zen Build Worth Playing (T500 Zen OTP) that veers off drastically starting with round 5.

(And yes, I did get to All Star solo queuing explicitly with this build, tho the other parts of the title may not be as accurate :D)

The reason for the variation is that I don't have the mechanical prowess to take advantage of [Flying Kick] and also find that if we haven't won or lost by the 5th round, there's a need for anti heals that are really well proc'ed by [Discord Fever].

[Inner Peace] is great in the early game and synergizes with [Enlightenment] incredibly well and I feel that's the killer combo of awesomerthanpie#0's build.

Round Notes

Round Notes

[Inner Peace] is a must.

[Armored Vest] is amazing to have under all the natural [Zenyatta] shielding.

If they have a [Pharah], swap [Compensator] for [Ballistic Buffer] and run it pretty much all game.


Why is [Weapon Grease] more important thatn [Compensator]? In general, with small projectiles that don't have splash damage, you want rate of fire over outright damage to maximize hits.

I will say, if you incorporate Ability Power into this build throughout the match, it's pretty OP. Especially once you pick up Discord Fever, having the AP really makes people melt. That combined with the boosted healing and projectile speed, it seems like a necessity. I just grinded my way to All-Star doing this. I highly recommend trying it!

@TomRakewell I'm thinking Superflexor can be awesome for rounds 5 and 6 and then champion's kit on round 7. What do you think? I've updated the build to suggest those.

@TomRakewell i've been focusing on pro'cing Cybervenom and similar (Liquid Nitro) with Disco Fever - you're saying just go pure AP? I'm gonna have to try that!
