Acolyte Sousuke

Explosive Zaishen Disciple

"Understanding is half the battle... and now you understand."

Description
Acolyte Sousuke is an Elementalist hero available in the Nightfall Campaign. He is a member of the Zaishen Order.


 * Origin: Cantha
 * Age: 27
 * Profession: Elementalist

This guy talks too much. Sousuke always has advice, wisecracks, and commentary on his current situation. His amused outlook on life, unrestrained curiousity, and quirky sense of humor are rare for a Zaishen warrior, but he backs it up with a flamboyant, explosive fighting style. A mission is only a failure, he believes, if you don't learn anything from it... and Sousuke doesn't care much for failure. As a Zaishen warrior, he insists he's one of the deadliest combatants in the world, and he has a compulsion to prove it again and again. If that's not enough, he'll tell you, again and again.

Armor
Acolyte Sousuke starts with Elementalist Zaishen armor, which is nearly identical in appearance to blue Elementalist Shing Jea Armor, as well as a Zaishen Eye. He has an AR of 34..60 depending on his level.

His Elite Sunspear Armor can be obtained in the Dajkah Inlet Challenge Mission. This is Acolyte Sousuke's version of the Elite Sunspear Armor, to the right.

Both of Acolyte Sousuke's Armors can be seen in the Acolyte Sousuke Armor Gallery.

Recruitment
Acolyte Sousuke joins the party after completing the Student Sousuke quest.

Recruiting him removes the ability to recruit Acolyte Jin.

Dialogue
In Sun Docks:
 * "Well, good day! My name is Sousuke. You're lucky you've come upon me in a good mood. I've fried people for looking at me like that. Ha, ha. Just kidding! I'm usually very careful with my elemental magic. I wouldn't hurt a fly. Well, perhaps, if it was Kournan."

In Throne of Secrets:
 * "The fire! The explosions! The valiant fights! It's a tale of heroes, and you're the greatest one!"
