Standard infantry archetype at rare tier. The piece split is the same for all three archetypes — chest and gloves for health, helmet and boots for lethality — with only the troop-type prefix changing; allclash.com's Zoe guide is the canonical worked example, and Zoe is an infantry hero. Confirmed across allclash, heaven-guardian and kingshothandbook build guides.
