Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Kit synergizes well with the standard Stun, Support, Damage team composition meta. She also has an incredible synergistic combo with Lycaon to take advantage of.

Cons

  • All characters Corin can play with to activate her additional ability are either other DPS she doesn’t want to be paired with due to her high field time requirements or S-Ranks, making Corin’s team-building options somewhat limited.

  • Struggles to launch and fully charge her most powerful attacks on enemies without them moving, interrupting her, or needing to cancel the channel in order to reposition resulting in lower damage performance against more active targets.

  • Has an entire kit built around dealing the majority of her damage while the enemy is Stunned causing her to feel somewhat lackluster outside of it.

  • Competes with many other A-Rank Physical DPS and even one with a reasonably similar playstyle (Piper).

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 in the Burst rotation while the bottom number in the Standard rotation. You can find more information about them in the Calculations tab.

Increases Physical DMG by 20/25/30/35/40%. The equipper's DMG increases by 25/31.5/38/44/50% when attacking the enemy from behind.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 53
Crit Rate: 9.6%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 684
Crit Rate: 24%
Nekomata's Signature W-Engine - a strong option for Physical Attack Agents and also a useable option for others but with the requirement for both being that the player must actively aim to attack from behind targets wherever possible in order to get good performance compared to alternatives. Grants 24% CRIT Rate and 20% Physical DMG unconditionally but also an additional bonus to the wearer when hitting enemies from behind granting a further 25% generic DMG increase. This W-engine is a top choice without even considering the conditional behind bonus but only becomes even stronger with it. For non-Physical agents this W-engine is only competitive if you can attack from behind at least 50% or more of the time - especially with your highest value abilities like your Ultimate. This W-engines rating assume's you'll achieve 50% uptime on the behind bonus, if you can't you should consider its rating lower.

While off-field, Energy Regen increases by 0.45/0.52/0.58/0.65/0.72 per second. When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 3/3.5/4/4.4/4.8%, stacking up to 15 times and lasting 1s. Retriggering refreshes duration.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 48
Attack: 10%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 624
Attack: 25%
Corin's Signature W-Engine designed almost exclusively for her with its primary bonus requiring channelled fast-hitting Physical attacks to fully utilize. Grants 25% Attack unconditionally and 0.72 energy per/s while the wearer is off the field. Also has a combat effect that grants the wearer a stacking buff offering 3% Physical DMG per stack that can stack up to 15 times for a total of 45% Physical DMG. The catch with this buff is that while each stack refreshes the buffs duration that duration is only 1 second and you can only gain stacks from EX Special Attack hits making this bonus incredibly niche and only really usable well by Corin herself. For Corin however this engine is great, specifically the off field Energy Regen is incredibly potent, allowing her to much more easily execute her fully charged EX Special every time an enemy is stunned, the Physical DMG bonus is also easy to stack and a big damage gain.

Launching a Dodge Counter or Quick Assist increases the equipper's ATK by 12/13.8/15.6/17.4/19.2% for 12s.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 46
Attack: 10%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 594
Attack: 25%
A solid all-around Free To Play accessible option for all Attack Agents. Grants 25% unconditional Standard Attack and a further 19.2% (At S5) Combat Attack buff after performing a Dodge Counter or Quick Assist lasting 12 seconds. This buff is reasonably easy for all Attack Agents to achieve in both their standard and burst rotations, assuming a Support character is present on the team. When executing your standard rotation ensure you weave in at least 1 Dodge Counter every 12 seconds and when executing your burst rotation, ensure your Support is the last Chain Attack in the sequence so you can perform a Quick Assist right after and proceed into your burst combo during the enemy stun window.

Increases ATK by 7.5/8.6/9.7/10.8/12%. Attacks that land a CRIT on an enemy will inflict an additional 200% of ATK as DMG. This effect can only be triggered once every 8/7.5/7/6.5/6s.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 46
Crit Rate: 8%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 594
Crit Rate: 20%
The Combat battle pass W-engine - an expensive engine to acquire which while incredibly consistent still only performs similarly to other W-Engine's with similar investment. At S5 grants 20% CRIT Rate and 12% Combat Attack unconditionally with an additional effect that triggers when the wearer lands a CRIT on an enemy. This additional effect will deal damage equal to 200% of the wearers ATK to the target hit with a cooldown of 6 seconds (at S5). The catch with this activated ability is that the damage is Physical and cannot CRIT meaning for non-physical characters you'll be losing all elemental DMG% boosts on this damage and for all characters not CRITing is a big downside making the damage from this unimpactful. Cannon Rotor's abilities will always be active without you having to do anything at all in both standard and burst rotations but it has little to no edge over W-engines outside of that making it a steep investment just for that consistency.

Whenever a squad member launches a Chain Attack, the equipper gains a Charge stack, stacking up to 3 times. Upon activating their own Ultimate, the equipper consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the skill's DMG by 15/17.2/19.5/21.7/24%.

Level 1:
Base ATK: 46
Attack: 10%
Level 60:
Base ATK: 594
Attack: 25%
A decent but somewhat niche Free To Play accessible option for all Attack Agents. Grants 25% unconditional Standard Attack and has an additional effect that grants the wearer a Charge every time any squad member performs a Chain Attack with a limit of 3. Each Charge will grant the wearer 24% increased ultimate DMG (at S5) and after an Ultimate is performed all Charges will be consumed. Against bosses you can guarantee 3 Chain Attacks every time you Stun them, meaning this W-engine's effect essentially grants 72% Ultimate damage. These bonuses allow it to be a competitive option during burst rotations with the ultimate available, but when the ultimate isn't available or executing a standard rotation this W-engine falls behind.

Competitive option for direct and Anomaly-based Physical damage dealers granting 10% permanent Physical DMG% from the 2-PC and 35% increased DMG against enemies inflicted by Assault by any party member for 12 seconds. DMG% bonus against enemies will be up the majority of most fights against boss-type enemies thanks to its long duration and ability to trigger from any team member allowing a Physical based Bangboo/teammate to assist with uptime via their own Assaults.

Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equippers ATK by 15% for 12s.

A top option for burst damage characters aiming to deal most of their damage in a short window following their Ultimate. The set grants 8% permanent PEN Ratio% from the 2-PC, 15% increased combat ATK% for 12 seconds after using an Ultimate and 20% increased Ultimate DMG from the 4P. When evaluating this set we assume you'll gain and save your damaging Ultimate for the enemy Stun window and use it before executing the rest of your combo. If you're unable to gain your Ultimate every stun window, this sets value will drop compared to its listing.

Triggering a critical hit with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter or EX Special Attack increases the equippers ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.

Great option for all direct damage dealers that make use of some form of Basic ATK and EX frequently. The set grants 8% permanent CRIT RATE% from the 2-PC and a 9% increased combat ATK% buff for 6 seconds when triggering a CRIT with each a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter or EX Special Attack from the 4P. Each buff belongs to an attack type so you'll need to CRIT with each type every 6 seconds to maintain 3 stacks. You can expect 2 stacks of this set most of the time one from basics and one from either EX's during a burst window or Dodge Counters during downtime granting 18% combat ATK% that multiplies all ATK stats like FLAT ATK and ATK% ((Base ATK * (1 + ATK%)) + Flat ATK) * (1 + Combat ATK%).

Despite all this, the set has ramp-up time and can quickly fall off without access to energy for EX's making it most suitable for characters with cheap EX's, frequent Dodge Counters or concentrated burst damage windows.

Best combined with your choice of 2-PC Set:

Synergy

Corin is a character fully dedicated to the path of Charged Attacks - something that makes dealing damage outside of Stun windows incredibly difficult for her. On top of this her kit also grants bonus damage against Stunned targets. Thus, Corin is in dire need of a character who can stun quickly while also activating her kits Additional Ability. Fortunately for her, Lycaon can solve both problems while also amplifying Corin’s damage during Stuns tremendously due to him increasing the Stun damage multiplier on enemies from 150% to 185%. Lycaon is the best raw Daze contributor in the game and has great synergy with Corin making the two a good pair as long as no other characters need Lycaon for their own team (looking at you Ellen).

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 output

Important!

  • Corin's Mindscape 4 doesn't have a direct impact on her damage output but is incredibly valuable to her, granting her some incredibly needed access to additional energy regeneration. While this Mindscape doesn't increase the bar, it certainly makes her more consistent to play!
  • Corin's M2 and M6 are inaccessible in almost every scenario during her standard rotation except for a short window right after the burst rotation for M2. For this reason we have not represented them in her Mindscape calcs for the standard rotation.
  • Corin's M1 isn't commonly accessible during her standard combo but not impossible. For this reason we've shown the damage gain you can expect to earn from it, but know that during Corin's gameplay it wont always be up and when it's not you'll lose the bonus listed.
