Character
Introduction

Anby is a
A Rank
rank character with the Electric attribute who belongs to the
Stun
Stun Specialty and who is part of the
Gentle House AKA Cunning Hares
Cunning Hares faction.

A mysterious young girl who never talks about her past, almost as if she didn't have one. She is calm and collected, and unusually competent and efficient in combat, almost as if she'd had years of training. In an unexpected incident, Nicole brought her back to the Cunning Hares, and she has an emotional independence on her ever since. She loves watching movies, but due to certain lack of common sense she seems to almost think them real-life stories.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • The only F2P Stun character available and the go-to choice for team building for those without S-Rank options.

  • Can combo together her EX and Charged Basic Attacks to create high Daze combos allowing for fast and effective Stuns.

  • Anby’s Dodge Counters grant her a good chunk of additional energy allowing her to access her EX’s faster than many other characters when played as a main fielder. 

  • Using Anby’s EX at specific times throughout her combo allows her to increase its speed significantly, speeding her overall Stunning rotation.

Cons

  • Optimal Stun combo requires a combination of Tap and Hold inputs making her a little more challenging than other characters to play.

  • Deals noticeably less Stun than her S-Rank counterparts.

  • Lack of outstanding features outside of her reasonable Daze and Electric-type, which makes her susceptible to power creep.

Ratings

This tier list assesses characters based on their combat potential in Zenless Zone Zero’s current most demanding content, Shiyu Defense (SD). SD is a mode similar to Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss or Honkai Star Rail’s Memory of Chaos and requires multiple teams, Disk Drives and good W-Engines. This mode offers a reasonable mix of Boss encounters (single target) and Elite packs (2-3 targets), allowing multiple characters to find a niche but in the end, there is a bias toward single target focused characters at the top-end and tier list ratings will reflect that.

Please keep in mind Zenless Zone Zero is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Zenless Zone Zero is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.

Best W-Engines

The W-Engines are listed in order of priority. Sometimes the percentages appearing near them won't reflect their performance as pure damage or Stun output isn't the only thing we're looking at - the utility of the W-Engine might be more important than the calculations imply.

The top number shows the performance of the W-Engine when applying Daze while the bottom number when dealing Damage. You can find more information about them in the Calculations tab.

When off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.5/1.2 per second. When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper's Impact is increased by 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 53
Impact: 7.2%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 684
Impact: 18%
Koleda's Signature W-Engine and an incredible option for all Stun characters that use their EX Special Attack at least somewhat regularly. Grants 18% Standard Impact unconditionally and 0.6 Energy Regen per second while the wearer remains off the field (at S0). Most importantly, it also grants the wearer 10% Combat Impact for 10 seconds after using an EX Special Attack stacking up to 2 times (each stack is tracked individually). Maintaining at least 1 stack of this buff consistently is expected for most characters using this W-engine but if you can gain 2 stacks even for a moment its value only increases further. Energy Recharge, strong base stats and an incredible combat buff make this Engine a safe option on most characters.

When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can trigger at most once during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 53
Impact: 7.2%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 684
Impact: 18%
Lycaon's Signature W-Engine, an engine with good Stun buffing stats but also higher damage output compared to many other generic options. Grants 18% Standard Impact unconditionally and a stacking buff each time the wearer hits an enemy occurring at most once her skill. This buff can be stacked up to 5 times, lasts 8 seconds and increases the wearers Basic Attack Daze% and DMG% by 6% for a total bonus of 30% DMG and Daze. A reasonable option for all Stun characters with competitive stun buffs, but trades the energy regen of some other stun W-engines in exchange for a damage buff.

102.44%

80.43%

For every 10 Energy accumulated, the equipper's Impact is increased by 2/2.3/2.6/2.9/3.2%, stacking up to 8 times. After Energy is consumed, this bonus remains for 8 more seconds. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 46
Energy Regen: 20%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 594
Energy Regen: 50%
Outstanding F2P accessible A-Rank W-Engine that is among the top options for many Stun characters thanks to its incredibly potent combat effect. It grants 50% Energy Regen (0.6 energy/s for most Stun characters) but also a combat ability which reads incredibly confusingly but will grant you 3.2% Combat Impact per stack with a total stack limit of 8 granting a maximum of 25.6% Combat Impact. The easy way to think of this W-engine is to just know that as long as you have and or have spent a combined 80 energy in the last 8 seconds you'll be getting full effect which for most characters is doable or at least close to doable. With the bonus partially or better yet fully active this will be a very competitive option for most Stun characters when compared to similar rarity engines.

The equipper gains a Charge stack every 3s, stacking up to 6 times. When launching an EX Special Attack, consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the Daze inflicted by 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 46
Impact: 6%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 594
Impact: 15%
The Stun battle pass W-engine - an expensive and timely Engine to acquire but which has great potential for EX Special Burst Daze but still only performs similarly or below other W-Engine's with similar investment over the full course of a fight. Grants 15% Standard impact unconditionally and has a combat ability which grants the wearer a charging buff. The wearer gains a charge every 3 seconds with a maximum of 6 charges possible - upon using an EX Special all charges will be consumed increasing that EX's Daze by 6.4% per charge expended up to 38.4% for 6 charges. This W-Engine offers large spikes of Daze but requires you to space those EX's out to gain maximum benefit. The engine also has no extra benefits like Energy Regen or Damage stats making it a situational choice for those looking for huge burst daze.

When the target's HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% more Daze. When the target's HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further enhanced by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 46
Impact: 6%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 594
Impact: 15%
A specialized F2P but strong A-Rank Engine, specializing in trading long term benefit for immediate power. Grants 15% Standard Impact unconditionally and a combat effect that activates based on the enemies current HP%. When attacking an enemy with 50% or higher HP all Daze inflicted against them is increased by 16% and against enemies that are 75% HP or higher that's increased by a further 16% totalling 32%! The result is enemies that are between 75% - 100% will be dealt 32% increased Daze, 50% - 74%, 16% Daze and 49% or lower taking 0% increased Daze. This Engine is ideal for those looking to burst an enemy into the Stunned state initially with little regard for the lower stuns they'll have to deal with later, for this reason it does have endgame uses but over long fights can fall behind other similar investment options.

The equipper's attacks inflict 8/9/10/11/12% more Daze on their main target.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 37
Impact: 4.8%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 475
Impact: 12%
Incredible F2P Stun W-Engine that offers generic Daze boosts to the entire characters kit with no conditionals to play around. Grants 12% Impact unconditionally and a 12% Daze increase against the wearers primary target. This Engine doesn't have any of the additional bonuses such as Energy Regen, Damage increases or burst daze potential - higher rarity options have but is able to mostly keep up in raw Daze output over longer fights making it a good stepping stone option until you can upgrade.

Increases Electric DMG by 15/17.5/20/22/22%. When the equipper hits an enemy with Dodge Counter or Assist Attack, their Energy Generation Rate increases by 18/20.5/23/25/27.5% for 8s.

(2)
Increases Impact by 6%.
(4)
Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters, inflict 20% more Daze upon the main target.

Best option for all Stun-focused characters granting 6% permanent Impact% from the 2-PPC and 20% increased Daze for Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters. As Stun characters top priority is dealing as much Daze as possible as fast as possible, no other set comes close to this one and the 4-PC should be pursued even at the cost of good sub-stats.

Best combined with your choice of 2-PC Set:

  • Swing Jazz for 20% Energy Regen (Recommended),
  • Freedom Blues for 30 Anomaly Proficiency to boost anomaly damage,
  • Thunder Metal, Puffer Electro or Hormone Punk to boost overall damage.

Synergy

Grace is the backbone of the Shock archetype which is focused on quickly building up as much Electric Anomaly on enemies as you can to keep them Shocked consistently. Anby being an Electric character activates both her own and Grace's bonus ability and further plays into the Shock archetype by contributing her own Anomaly allowing Grace and her team to quickly apply more Shocks, something essential when Anton is a part of the team. Furthermore, Anby also brings Daze to the team, something that isn’t always needed in Shock teams but is still viable.

Nekomata has incredibly limited complimentary team mate options when it comes to enabling her Additional Ability and Anby can fill that role while also providing Nekomata and her team an excellent amount of Daze. Enabling Neko’s Additional Ability with Anby allows for the last slot of the team to be used more freely on another DPS or Supporter that complements her better instead of being restricted to selecting specifically a character needed to activate the same.

As a Physical DPS Billy has very little access to Supportive Physical options with the other 3 Physical characters on release all being fellow DPS that take up much of the field time Billy would prefer for himself. Pairing Billy with Anby grants him access to his Additional Ability which provides his entire team a boat load of Daze through parries and EX’s, allowing him to run exactly the Supporters he wants with restriction.

Teams

If a column has multiple characters, the bigger one is the priority choice for the team while the smaller ones are alternatives. If they are the same size, either of them can be used.

Calculations

Damage and Daze output

Important!

  • Anby's Mindscape 1 and 4 don't directly impact her Main Field Daze Rotation used for calculations but still hold combat value upon activation. Her M1 can be optionally activated and maintained to boost Energy Generation at the small cost of lowering the Daze of 1 basic combo. Anby's M4 can grant other Electric Agents a meaningful amount of energy potentially granting them an additional EX over the course of longer fights.

Rotation time: 14.32s.

Attention!!! Calculations between characters that use Quick Swap Daze vs Main Field Daze Rotations should not be compared as they are two different playstyles!

Details about the calculations

This rotation is a rough representation of the character's Main Field Daze Rotation for the purpose of calculations. In combat you may need to interrupt your Basic Attack sequences to perform Dodges and may also find you gain more or less Dodge Counters than represented here.
