Zalera, the Death Seraph

» "Mithuna Ascendant."

• LP: 25
• Zodiac: Gemini
• Element: Death
• Limit Break: Condemnation

Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding.

Zalera is a bit different from the other Espers. His attacks are typically all-or-nothing; "Kill" is an instant death attack. However, when his HP is less than 80%, Zalera's attack changes to a devastating Magick strike called "Shock," which is much less hit-or-miss. He also automatically heals himself between battles with "Holy," so there's no way to intentionally keep his HP low and force him to use "Shock" instead of "Kill." His final attack is triggered by any enemy with critical HP, which may result in a very quick appearance if an enemy with critical HP is already present when the he is summoned.
