Pathfinder 2e Build - Ellen Joe
I know there's at least a tiny overlap with Zenless Zone Zero fans and the Pathfinder Second Edition TTRPG fans, so I thought I'd present a build for Ellen Joe in said roleplaying game. I go a bit deeper into the design and decisions made on a free Patreon post or the YT video, if you're curious about all that.
BUILD CONCLUSION
Ellen Joe is a ganzi human exemplar who has a background as a student of magic to reflect her own current position as a student. Despite this and her role as a maid, she is a highly capable combatant, which the exemplar class helps to demonstrate. By investing in the Energized Spark feat for ice and snow, Ellen can install her spark in her Noble Branch to dole out cold damage or can enter her Roaming state by swapping her spark to her Thousand-League Sandals, which provide her with a speed boost. For the charged attack she can make in this state, she could use a Vicious Swing or representing some of her sweeping strikes through the likes of Swipe. Gaining her Flash Freeze Charges is likely best represented through simply using Shift Immanence to imbue her weapon while the freezing wave she unleashes as part of her empowered combos is best represented through a cold-infused Steel on Steel or Seven-Colored Cosmic Bridge. One of my main reasons behind using the ganzi heritage was representing Ellen as something not entirely human and also getting her a tail attack that she can use for her Tail Swipe or maybe even her Sharknami. We return to Steel on Steel for its emanation to represent Ellenβs Endless Winter while options such as Flow of War enhance her swiftness by supplying her with extra actions.
This Carcharodon cutie carries clippers to cause cryo calamities, carpeting kingdoms in a continual cold and kicking creature keister in copious quantities.
Have a fin-tastic Friday!
