Hero Relations

Synergizes With

Zhask works best with heroes that can lock down enemies so he can have more time to deal damage, like Belerick and Lolita.

Strong Against

Zhask is strong against burst damage heroes like Aldous and Paquito because his high HP after fusing with his Nightmaric Spawn, makes him tough to burst down.

Weak Against

Zhask is countered by agile or long range heroes, such as Pharsa and Cecilion, because they can quickly step out of range of his immobile Nightmaric Spawn.
