To victory, Warlords!
Command this "gentle" order of Zealots to shield your lines, and unleash the frenzy within, letting the fire of judgement rain down on every foe — Now, it is you who will ignite the flames of divine wrath!
Prepare yourself — in the name of the Divine — reduce them to ashes!
Unit Background
The Zealot is the most devout force under the Cross, and the guardian of the Empire's faith.
Clad in Milanese plate, wielding the sacred shield and the hammer of judgement, they form unbreakable ranks to defend the faith, purging heresy with punishing blows.
Each of them was once a faithful believer — their souls aflame with fervor, ever ready to sacrifice in this endless war.
Yet, years of battling darkness have stained them with madness.
When faced with endless waves of heretics, the Zealots' suppressed thirst for blood erupts.
They cast aside their shields, tear off the uniform of order, and become twin-hammered judges.
Now, the Hammer blazes with divine fire: each strike explodes in fury, unleashing righteous wrath on all enemies.
Unit Overview
The fanatical elite rapidly gain [Mad Malice] when striking lower-tier units or rival Heraldic units.
Normally, sturdy Milanese armor reduces incoming damage.
Transformed as Heretic Purgers, their weapons are imbued with black powder — every attack burns and explodes on impact.

Skills
Normal State
Skill 1:
Righteous Charge
"We are Justice!" Dash boldly to a target location, swinging the hammer to deal major damage and knock foes down.
Skill 2:
Zeal Whirlwind
Twirl the sacred hammer at your core of belief, sweeping away all who dare approach.
Skill 3:
Judgment Day
Heretics, meet your doom! Be purged in the fire of grace!
Inquisitor State
Skill 1:
Dies iræ
Slam the sacred hammer into the earth to trigger a small shockwave; nearby targets are pulled off-balance toward the Zealot, then a flame‑laden upswing knocks them up.
Skill 2:
Saeclum in Favilla
Unleash an unstoppable flurry, hewing forward with the sacred hammer — each hit erupts in an explosion, searing all sin.
Trait
Trait 1:
Lawful Evil
Carnage on the field lays bare the Zealots' nature, increasing [Mad Malice]. Killing 3‑star‑and‑below units and other Heraldic units grants more [Mad Malice]. At max, transform into "Inquisitor".
Trait 2:
Milanese Armor
Smooth, shell-like armor deflects attacks and reduces damage taken; the asymmetric left pauldron is highly defensive, great for blocking and protection. Offers some fire resistance.
Trait 3:
Wrath of Grace
While transformed into "Inquisitors", they will forgo the shield, lowering block value, and anoint their weapon with black powder. Each strike burns the target and triggers a small blast — letting the "heretic" be purged by the holy flame of Grace.
Tactical Role
Zealots stand apart on the battlefield. In normal stance, they're reliable heavy infantry — thanks to fine Milanese plate and [Righteous Charge], they anchor formations and absorb damage.
Their true strength lies in gathering [Mad Malice] through combat, then unleashing Judgment Day for a form shift.
Transformed as Inquisitor, they shift from defensive anchors into unstoppable area attackers. Whether using the crowd-control might of [Dies iræ], or the explosive devastation of [Saeclum in Favilla], enemy ranks are torn asunder in moments.
Zealots are devoted guardians — and mad judges — wielding power to shift the battle in the name of faith.
Will you become the divine punisher, passing judgement on all with the light and fire of the sacred?
