Appearance
Zinman appears rugged and ready for action. He’s clad in a brown outfit with white fluffy edges, giving him a tough yet approachable look.
In his hands, he carries a nail gun, large and crafted from wood and metal, which is hooked up to a cylinder on his back.
This setup suggests he’s prepared for some serious construction or combat. His belt is equipped with handy pouches, and his boots look like they can handle any terrain.

- Zinman’s “Bastionist” skill doesn’t reduce the Fire Crystals required for an upgrade.
- It is sufficient to upgrade Zinman to star level 4. This allows you to maximize his construction perk skills.
- Zinman can work great in Arena until Generation 3. It is recommended to place him in the last row of your exploration lineup.
