Shuai Jiao Zombie (Timeless)

The Shuai Jiao Zombie is an enemy from Timeless fought exclusively during levels of Eastern Dynasty. He has a decent toughness and is remarkable for his increased strength and speed

Appearance and origins
He has the morphology of a regular zombie, but shows more muscles, and is often bended forwards. He wears normal pants, usually ranging from white to beige or even blue, with a tissue belt, and a vest with similar colors that can be sometimes open, revealing their chests. He is based on the men that practiced the chinese martial art known as Shuai Jiao, which was often practiced through the history of china

Strategies
These zombies are very dangerous in groups, as they might overwhelm you with their small groups and are hard to block, even with a decent weapon. When you see them on the selection screen, always take a shield ; it will be very useful to shove them back or block their numerous attacks. Select then a good close range weapon ; the Piandao is one of the best options, as it is quick and can be wielded with the shield. A good combination should allow you to shove them back, hit them and possibly do a headshot but with enough time to block their next attacks. Always remember that they can be numerous, so having a friend putting them down from further with a long-range weapon or help you with a shield won't be too much against these undeads. The worst weapons to use are classic spears ; these will only be able to stall one at a time, even if they're quick, leaving the others able to progress directly to attack you and taking advantage of the time drawing a sword would take. You can also risk missing your target, or even getting assaulted by other ennemies while you're trying to defend yourself against them. If they are too much, this is the kind of situation where you should use a powder keg and try to blow them up

Trivia
