Best Zanis Build, Arcana & Guide for 2026

Zanis
Introduction to Zanis
▼Zanis is a Fighter in Arena of Valor who usually plays Jungle and can also take the Top Lane. The best part of Zanis is his passive: his skills can cleanse crowd control effects (except suppression) while increasing his physical attack and attack range.
His gameplay is easy to understand: Blood Wyrm boosts his movement speed and empowers his next basic attack to engage, while his second skill sweeps his spear around him, granting attack speed and lifesteal. His ultimate, Dragon Wraith, targets a chosen enemy with true damage, a stun and a slow; for its duration, all of his bonus damage becomes true damage, ignoring the enemy's defenses.
His very low difficulty makes Zanis a good fit for beginners, but low health and little crowd control mean he can be taken down quickly if he commits too early. On this page you'll find the item build, Arcana, Enchantments, summoner spells, combos, skill usage and a phase-by-phase guide for Zanis.

How to Use Zanis's Skills Effectively
How to Play Zanis in the Early Game
At the start of the match, start with the blue buff first since all of
Zanis
‘s skills cost energy.
Pull the stag beetle and blue buff close together to attack both at once, and spam Skill 1
Blood Wyrm
for extra movement speed through jungle camps to clear your jungle faster.
Once you reach level 4, move to where enemy heroes lack mobility to coordinate with teammates and take them down more easily.
How to Play Zanis in the Mid Game
By the mid game,
Zanis
has become quite strong and can duel most other heroes, so rotate to gank and join fights continuously, making use of his passive
Dragoon
, which lets all his skills cleanse crowd control (except suppression) and boosts his physical attack.
Also, this hero takes down Dragon and Caesar very quickly, so attack them as soon as there’s an opening to secure a major buff advantage for your team.
If you get the chance, split pushing is also a good playstyle for this hero, since its tower-destroying speed is quite fast thanks to the attack speed boost from Skill 2.
How to Play Zanis in the Late Game
By the late game, move with your team to prepare for the upcoming major fight.
Calmly wait for an opening on the enemy carry or dive in aggressively to attack them repeatedly, keeping Skill 1
Blood Wyrm
ready to help you approach unexpectedly.
Since this hero’s passive
Dragoon
lets all his skills cleanse crowd control (except suppression), and Skill 2 grants attack speed and lifesteal, trading damage aggressively is a better strategy than kiting.
Try every way to take down the enemy carry to secure the win for the fight and the whole match.
