Zavia earns a 4.0/5.0 rating because she remains one of the most efficient wave-clearers and anti-revive specialists in the game. Her utility in the 'Poison Explosion' meta is almost unparalleled, providing a unique damage profile that combines raw Attack scaling with debuff detonation. What holds her back from a perfect 5.0 is her fragility and the specific damage reduction penalty on her A3 when facing bosses, which prevents her from being the top-tier choice for late-game Hydra or high-end Clan Boss teams. Compared to other Attack champions, she offers more utility through her block-revive
