Role and Tool Library¶
This library is an advanced functional reference for role leads and players who want deeper examples of how tools create value in ZvZ.
It is not a current-meta shopping list and not a required first read. New players should begin with Start Here, Role Guides, and Fight Concepts.
How to use this library¶
- Start from the role problem, not the item name.
- Use weapon names as examples of function.
- Avoid turning examples into mandatory meta claims.
- Check current item behavior before using a tool in a live comp.
