ASTRAL RING
ActiveActive skill - If Zykan is placed in the front-line, he deals 300% damage twice to the two enemies with the lowest HP and each time Zykan lands a Killing Blow, he heals himself for 100% of his Max HP, gains 100 Energy, and gains an additional hit on his skill attack for the rest of the battle. Alternatively, if Zykan is placed in the back-line, he deals 300% damage 3 times to the enemy with the highest Max HP and, at the end of round 1, applies Mayan Mark to that target for the rest of the battle. (Mayan Mark: Each time the marked target is hit by an ally, Zykan gains 5 Energy and 2% Attack for the rest of the battle.) Additionally, regardless of placement, after each skill attack, Zykan has a 100% chance to apply Spinning Blades to a random Finisher ally for 2 rounds. If Zykan is Ascended, he also applies Spinning Blades to a random Mantis ally for 2 rounds. (Spinning Blades: Allies with Spinning Blades gain 50% Skill Damage and counter-attack when they take direct damage. Each counter-attack grants 25% Attack for 3 rounds.)

Mode Rankings
Strong mech support and damage dealer. Back-line Mayan Mark on the boss means every ally hit grants Zykan 5 Energy and 2% Attack — in a full 6v1 team this stacks extremely fast, turning Zykan into a scaling monster. Glyph Breaker's 8% Skill Damage per alive ally (up to 48% with full team) provides massive sustained damage. Mayan Shield protects the entire Finisher lineup with 40% Max HP shields. Spinning Blades on allies adds 50% Skill Damage and counter-attack chains. Doesn't quite reach S due to his kill-reset mechanics being less relevant against a single boss.
Exceptional Mantis faction finisher for Club Smash. Front-line Astral Ring chains kills — each Killing Blow heals 100% Max HP, grants 100 Energy, and adds a permanent extra hit. Spinning Blades on Finisher allies creates cascading counter-attack chains. Glyph Breaker's triple-debuff basic attacks (Poison/Bleed/Curse) soften targets between skills. Emerald Convergence's Magic Shield + Mayan Shield make Zykan extremely durable.
Top-tier PvP fighter with unmatched flexibility. Front-line Astral Ring snowballs — each kill permanently adds another hit, making Zykan increasingly lethal as the fight progresses. Back-line Mayan Mark provides sustained single-target pressure with Energy and Attack stacking. Death Petrify (100% chance) punishes focus-fire and deters opponents from targeting Zykan first. Conditional immunities (Poison/Bleed/Curse front, Petrify back) shut down common PvP debuff strategies. Magic Shield when outnumbered and Energy steal mechanics add exceptional survivability in drawn-out fights.
Top-tier Hard Mode fighter. Front-line Astral Ring snowballs through minion waves — each kill adds a permanent extra hit, so Zykan hits harder every round. Glyph Breaker's triple-debuff basic attacks apply Poison, Bleed, and Curse to weaken targets between skills. Emerald Convergence's Mayan Shield protects the entire Finisher lineup for boss phases. Death Petrify punishes enemies for killing Zykan.
Dominant sewer fighter. Position flexibility lets you adapt per floor — front-line for multi-target burst, back-line for sustained single-target with Mayan Mark. Spirit Alignment's conditional immunities (Poison/Bleed/Curse in front, Petrify in back) provide resilience against sewer hazards. Spinning Blades on allies creates counter-attack chains that accelerate clearing.
Excellent campaign carry. Astral Ring's snowball mechanic (permanent extra hits on kills) makes Zykan stronger every wave. Emerald Convergence's Magic Shield when outnumbered keeps Zykan alive in tough stages. Glyph Breaker's Skill Damage scaling (8% × allies alive) rewards keeping the team healthy. Spinning Blades support amplifies the whole team.
