I really like how this build works, it was easy for me to get the hang of it (but now i hate contuse tho)
@SalamanderPie Oh my, this build is incredible! My plan is bounce to my Ghostlight trainer when the Mire is frustrating me and vice-versa. Just having even a smallvariety is soo much better than just trying to go it in the Mire.
Here she is!

@themirrorswish It's been pretty good for breaks from the Mire or so my friends tell me! It's nice to escape the Mire. :)
What a pretty mirror! Love the Bee.

This build is a LIFE SAVER!!! The Mire makes me want to rage quit almost every time I set foot there and I'm so happy that I no longer have to, unless I decide I want some variety. It's so easy to use, and unless the RNG is acting up and enemies dodge a lot, it makes training fodder training so much more enjoyable!

I bought him already leveled (and gene'd) from the AH and just restarted him, but he's still valid. :P

@BrandonFlowers That's exactly why I developed the build! I wanted something that starts quickly on most enemies. c:
He's got such style! He'll look great in the ruins ;)

A few tl;dr notes on my own experiences with a shiny new Anticitank:
• I tried Sap instead of Haste because I figured Sap would be cheaper if I needed to overwrite it. I did in fact need to overwrite it, but I don't regret that strategy since I can see the advantages of both. Just, I could never get enough breath to use Sap— I don't know if that would have changed if I'd spent more time learning the rhythm without Haste, but Haste definitely worked better for me.
• I love that even though I need to start way more because the Sapless Anticitank is less self-sustaining and long-running than my Mire Flyer, restarting is usually [i]completely[/i] painless and building breath up again is incredibly easy. I wanted a build with a completely different rhythm than scratch'n'eliminate so that I could have some variety (and the very low potential for an Eliminate drop) and by Windsinger I got it! I'm glad I picked this over Meditate Monk because it just has such a different feel. I'm starting to learn to Anticipate instead of Eliminate right before enemy turns and watching my breath max out repeatedly while Zora stays alive way longer than I would have expected.
@Salamanderpie Thank you so much for the work you've put into making this build accessible. And extra thanks for that incredibly helpful tutorial gif that I studied before making the decision to make Zora an Anticitank! I'm still learning my own rhythm, but studying Leeta helped a lot and makes me remember to stack my buffs sky-high. :D

In general, if you're going to level 4 which this build is really designed for, you shouldn't need Sap. Even going to level 5 you'll likely not build enough breath and having a reserve in case you're dodged is a better use of the breath. If you want to go higher than that, Either use a Mire Monk or Mire Flyer, or if you want to live on the edge, a Kelp Bed Leviathian which is faster, but takes more thought to play.

@Ygdrasill I mean, I have a Mire Flyer and a Kelp Beds Kraken, but I'm honestly really tired of Mire Flying and wanted some variation in my trainer options. And getting to level 7 is fine with an Anticitank, imo! I wasn't feeling too much of a time loss. I might want more speed eventually, in which case I'll switch to one of my other trainers, but I did know what I was doing when I decided to build Zora to be an Anticitank. :D

Going past level 5 (which I've done some of), there is usually enough breath and times one can use SAP effectively, but that also means using haste every first round of a new battle and again (or Rally) whenever you have an extra turn on the second round. I'm not sure what else you're using. I have yet to find a build where Bolster is more useful than Haste or Sap. I didn't use it a lot, but it definitely can help eek out to the end of a level. That's maybe not so important with an Anticitank since restarts are so fast.
