“	The Daein soldiers call this war "the sub-human hunt." You know I hate that word. Daein will change... At least that's what I believed. But now... I can’t just stand by. This war is the last straw. I can't fight for Daein anymore.	”	— Zihark, to Lethe.

Zihark (Japanese: ツイハーク Zihark) is a traveling mercenary from Daein who joined a group of vigilantes in Crimea to save laguz from being hunted. Upon meeting the laguz travelling with the Greil Mercenaries, Zihark decides to aid them in their escape from the Daein army, and assists them in the Mad King's War. After the war, he returned to Daein and would eventually help Micaiah in the war to liberate Daein.

Biography

Laguz sympathies

Zihark was originally from Daein, and had a romantic relationship with a non-tiger laguz. Unfortunately, his relationship did not last as the pressure from the taboo nature of their relationship was too much for his girlfriend. Zihark began to travel Tellius as a mercenary to do what he could to stop the oppression of laguz. When he heard that Crimea was creating an alliance with Gallia, Zihark thought that his dream would become reality, but upon coming to Crimea, found that the attitude towards laguz was the same as before. To do what he could to realize his dream, Zihark joined with an anti-laguz vigilante group in the port town of Toha to stop laguz from being killed.

The Mad King's War

When Mad King's War began in 645, Zihark was with the Toha vigilantes. Ike and the Greil Mercenaries came to Toha to escape by ship to Begnion, but Ranulf accidentally revealed himself as a laguz, much to the shock and anger of the townspeople. Upon the news that laguz had been spotted in town, Zihark tried to assist their escape. He met up with the laguz, Lethe or Mordecai, and chose to help their cause by joining them. Once the Greil Mercenaries had escaped onboard the ship, Zihark continued to journey with them, and would eventually fight with Crimean army to end the war. After war, Zihark departed for his homeland of Daein.

Daein's emancipation and choosing sides

Years later, in 648, Zihark joined up with the Daein Liberation Army along with his former comrades Jill and Tauroneo to fight against the oppression by the occupying Begnion forces. After the Dawn Brigade joins the army and Micaiah is made Vice Commander, he and the Daein Liberation Army fought a series of battles to free Daein from the clutches of the Begnion occupation forces, eventually triumphing and retaking Nevassa, Daein's capital. Not long after, Daein joined Begnion in the fight against the Laguz Alliance. Zihark was torn between choosing between staying loyal to his newly freed country or his long-standing ideals. He either stayed with his country or defected to join Ike and the Laguz Alliance, depending on whether he was able to speak with one of his close friends in the alliance. Regardless of his fate, Zihark eventually participated in the battles against the Disciples of Order. After the defeat of Ashera, Zihark would once again travel Tellius as mercenary, settling disputes between beorc and laguz, eventually settling in Gallia.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Zihark is the second myrmidon to join the party. He has respectable base stats for his join time, having great skill and speed, workable strength, and good sword rank (i.e. able to use the Killing edge immediately). Thus, he needs minimal investment to perform his role as an infantry sword-using unit well. As he does not have a mount, he cannot keep up with units like Titania, Oscar, and Kieran, nor can he canto, severely limiting him. His base durability is also weak, so he cannot be too exposed.

Zihark has good offensive growths, with good strength, skill, and speed growths, ensuring he can offensively keep up at 1-range (especially with Adept). However, his defensive growths are mediocre. Due to his durability and swordlock, his enemy phase combat will almost always be limited compared to lance and axe users despite his excellent offense.

Zihark has the Adept skill, which is a primary reason to use him over other infantry combat units. As it is an excellent skill with good activation rates, it should never be removed. Vantage works well for him, though he lacks 1-2 range, and Vantage+Adept is not as powerful of a combo as Vantage+Wrath or Vantage+Resolve. Astra is a good skill for Zihark, but it has a lower activation rate than other good mastery skills, and requires removing Adept from him, so it is recommended to save the Occult scrolls for other units.

Zihark has an earth affinity which gives pure avoid. His only support partner whose affinity complements this is Muarim, with a thunder affinity giving light defense and more avoid. Ilyana appreciates the avoid boost from Zihark, but her own bonuses are lackluster for him. Brom's water affinity does not complement Zihark, as it only gives +1 attack and defense at max support.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Role

Zihark is a playable unit who becomes available in Part 1 Chapter 6 as a part of Micaiah's party, though he appears as an ally unit in the previous chapter. Zihark can be recruited to Ike's party if he moves into the talk range of Lethe or Mordecai in Part 3 Chapter 6. He can also be recruited if talked to by Lethe or Mordecai, or by Brom or Ilyana with an A support in Path of Radiance in Part 3 Chapter 7 and Part 3 Endgame.

If a Radiant Dawn game was started via a data transfer from Path of Radiance, any stat Zihark maximized in Path of Radiance will result in a boost to his base in the stat in question in Radiant Dawn; his HP receives a +5 bonus under these conditions, while all other stats receive a +2 bonus. The below stats are Zihark's default stats if no transfer is made or if he capped no stats in Path of Radiance.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Zihark is a prepromoted swordmaster in Micaiah's team. He has excellent offensive base stats, with decent strength and excellent skill and speed. He also has a crit boost, innate Adept, and comes with a Killing Edge, so he requires no investment to immediately contribute. He is an excellent user of the Brave Sword through part 1 thanks to his good crit and Adept. However, his base durability is mediocre (though not as bad as most tier 1 units), and he lacks good 1-2 range for much of the game. Path of Radiance Zihark caps strength, skill, and speed on average, so PoR transfers benefiting him significantly.

With excellent skill and speed growths, he will cap them quickly before promotion (especially with PoR transfers). Though his other growths are mediocre, BEXP helps patch them in the long run, especially strength. Through part 3, Zihark's offense remains excellent but his durability does not keep up, so it is easy for him to get overwhelmed especially by enemy laguz (this is heavily mitigated if he is supporting Nolan or Volug). When promoted, his crit boost increases and he learns Astra, further amplifying his good offense, though he is still stuck with swords.

In part 4, he will likely be underlevelled, but if used frequently enough before part 4, he can catch up without too much investment. As an infantry unit, he does not want to join Micaiah's team due to the desert chapter, but he works well on the other two teams. His excellent speed ensures he can double most units in endgame, though he is limited by his class's low strength cap, meaning he has trouble with the generals and dragons (unless given the Wyrmslayer).

Zihark has innate Adept, which complements his good crit rate and the Brave Sword. Tauroneo's Resolve and Edward's Wrath complement innate Adept, though unfortunately he won't have space for all three simultaneously. He can also use the Vantage scroll from 1-E and complement it with Leonardo's Cancel, both with high activation thanks to good speed. Paragon through part 3 can help Zihark catch up to other units when part 4 comes around, though there are better users of it.

Zihark has an earth affinity which gives a massive boost to avoid. Nolan is a popular partner due to being another good infantry unit with another earth affinity, giving both units +45 avoid at max level. Volug also has an earth affinity, and despite being a laguz, it is not hard to keep them near each other especially through part 3. Fiona as well has an earth affinity but she requires significant investment to catch up, and mots of her chapters are not friendly for cavaliers. Micaiah can also be a good partner, as her dark affinity gives Zihark an appreciated attack boost and also a bit more avoid. Tormod also gives an attack boost with his fire affinity, but due to his terrible availability through the game, this is not recommended.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Skill set

Like all male bonus units in Awakening, Zihark has access to all base class and advanced class skills available to standard male units.

Personality and character

Zihark is courteous and amiable, always making an effort to know the members of the army. He cares deeply for his friends and often invites them out for meals. He has a sense of humor, cracking jokes with Tormod and Muarim after being reunited during Daein's liberation. He also seems to be able to recognize when people have ulterior motives, such as when he ignores Ilyana's attempts to take his food.

Zihark has a strong sense of justice towards laguz, willing to go to great lengths to protect them, such as infiltrating the vigilantes in Toha. Despite how he detests Daein's attitude towards the laguz, he shows loyalty in his contribution to freeing Daein. His loyalty frequently clashes with his ideals, and he is forced to choose a side during the war with the Laguz Alliance. In battle, Zihark is very honorable, never turning his blade against his friends, and requesting his opponent surrender if possible. Zihark rarely ever loses his cool, but when it comes to laguz, he tends to act more emotional, reacting in anger when fighting against Izuka after witnessing his atrocities.
