Best strategy for Zentaro in Omega Strikers

Zentaro is a heavy DPS who can be a reliable scorer due to his blink and passive skills. This Slashing Strike charges up by hitting targets, and at 10 charges, it will dash Zentaro forward and fire a piercing projectile that hits the first enemy.

For Iai Rush, it makes Zentaro teleport after a delay, hitting enemies along his travel path. For the Slice and Dice, Zentaro can deal light hits followed by a larger slash that hits enemies in the center. Finally, for Oni's Blade, the Striker blinks to a nearby location and becomes elusive, repeatedly dealing light hits to enemies caught in the area and hitting them.

Additionally, Zentaro is challenging to use because of his delays. You should be able to properly time his skills so you can maximize his abilities. It takes timing and being opportunistic in using Zentaro if an enemy is in a critical state. You can use your Blinks to get to enemy spaces where you think your foes aren't really covering so that you can make pokes and attacks.
