Zelkov's stat spread favors both Spd and Dex. Add Zelkov's considerable Def growth, and this means that he can function well as an evasion-based unit that can also take a hit or two.
Knife Precision 5 provdes him with a bonus to Hit, but more importantly, increases his Avo. Inherit Avoid +30 to further commit to evasion.

Zelkov Best Emblem
Recommended Emblems
 Leif
|
 Marth
|
With Zelkov's high Dex and Spd growth rate, Leif and Marth can raise his Avo even further and make him a formidable offensive unit with high evasion.
Take advantage of Leif's Engage Attack to raise the chances of stronger enemies that Zelkov can't defeat with one hit.
Zelkov Paired Ending and Romance
Pact Ring with Zelkov
 |
|
 |
 |
After clearing Chapter 22, players unlock The Connector Paralogue and can subsequently unlock the Pact Ring. This essentially acts as Fire Emblem Engage's S-Rank Support and romance route.
Alear can then give the ring to Zelkov once they have attained an A-Rank in support to view a special cutscene, and unlock a page in the reference about the life they lived together.
Zelkov's Memento
A necklace hand made by Zelkov. He put a great deal of care into every facet of this masterpiece.
Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Zelkov after giving the Pact Ring, players can also head to Alear's room and check the small table next to their bed to find a memento from him.
While the memento serves no purpose in combat whatsoever unlike the Merc Whistle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it further contextualizes the paired ending selected by the player.
