8 Things Every Good JRPG Needs

A solid story? A colorful cast of loyal teammates who’d follow you anywhere? These are just a few things quality JRPGs have.

There are literally dozens of different classes that you create characters for, summoning and confining phantoms into the real world in the form of warriors, supporters, and even monsters. One of the easiest classes to play is the Zombie class.

Zombies should always be used in groups, since their inherent abilities give them strength when other allied Zombies are on the map at the same time. Zombies should be used to attack frontline and melee enemies, and can benefit from attacks and abilities that restore HP. Zombies are also excellent tanks, absorbing great amounts of physical damage thanks to their high HP and healing factors.

Best Stats to Boost

The Zombie should be equipped with as many HP, ATK, and DEF buffs from abilities and scrolls as possible. It also wouldn’t hurt to increase their REMOVE and MOVE, so that they can move farther to enemies as well as last longer in battle.

Best Tools to Equip

It’s best to leave the Zombie with no item equipped, as their abilities grant bonuses when no item is equipped to the character. Instead of an item, focus on spawning in as many Zombies at once as you possibly can, and remember that their unarmed melee attacks are stronger than using any weapon for this class.
