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.
