Cissia Guide and Best Builds

Cissia Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Cissia build guide for Zenless Zone Zero. Cissia is a powerful RANK Physical Sub-DPS who can be played in teams with Electric or Physical DPS Agents, providing powerful buffs to these teams. In our guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Cissia, from building the best Drive Discs and W-Engines to important stat priorities and combos.

Cissia's Best W-Engines

Listed below are some W-Engines likely to be useful for Cissia. As Cissia is not yet released, information regarding her kit is subject to change, and W-Engine recommendations are not final. It is not recommended to farm or build W-Engines solely based on information before Cissia's release. Recommendations below are only speculative.

Cissia's Signature

Increases CRIT Rate by 20%. When the equipper consumes at least 20 Energy in a single instance, for every 20 Energy consumed,

gain a buff for 3s: Ignore 30% of the target's DEF when dealing Electric DMG. Gaining this buff again extends the duration,

up to a maximum of 30s. When entering Assist state, gain this buff for 10s. When the equipper is not the active character on-field,

the buff duration does not decrease.

Drill Rig - Red Axis

Hell's Generator
When launching an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack, Electric DMG from Basic Attacks and Dash Attacks increases by 50/57.5/65/72.5/80% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 15s.

The Brimstone

Scorching Breath
Upon hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, or Dodge Counter, the equipper's ATK increases by 3.5/4.4/5.2/6/7% for 8s, stacking up to 8 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Bellicose Blaze

Flame-Devouring Choir
Increases CRIT Rate by 20/23/26/29/32%. When the equipper triggers an Aftershock that deals Fire DMG, their attacks ignore 15/17.2/19.5/21.7/24% of the target's DEF for 8s. Can stack once every 3s, up to 2 stacks. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

Best Drive Discs for Cissia

As Cissia is not yet released, information regarding her kit is subject to change, and Drive Disc recommendations are not final. It is not recommended to farm or build Drive Discs solely based on information before Cissia's release. Recommendations below are only speculative.

Dawn's Bloom

2-Piece Set: Increases Basic Attack DMG by 15%.
4-Piece Set: Increases Basic Attack DMG by 20%. When equipped by an Attack character, using an EX Special Attack or Ultimate will further increase Basic Attack DMG by 20% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

Cissia's Stat Priority

Energy Regen is going to be an important stat for Cissia, as it increases her Defense Ignore buff and allows her to use her EX-Special more often. This grants more Venom (Cissia's resource) and therefore allows her to use her Charge Attack more often. Going for a 6th partition Energy Regen Disc might be preferred over ATK. To maximize Cissia's Defense Ignore, she would need 3.68 Energy Regen.

Aside from Energy Regen, stats such as CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK %, and Electric DMG are also important to maximize Cissia's damage output, as she is usually played as a Sub-DPS contributing to a portion of the team's overall damage. Cissia's Serpent's Venom Burst attack can increase CRIT Rate by 8% for 15s; this can stack up to 3 times for a total of 24% CRIT Rate, slightly reducing the need for CRIT Rate on Cissia.

Cissia's Skill Priority

Cissia's most important skill to level up would be her Core Skill, as her Defense Ignore buff scales with her Core Skill level, which also increases the damage dealt by Cissia's Serpent's Venom Burst. Cissia's Charge Attack and Serpent's Venom Burst both count as Basic Attack damage, making Basic Attack an important skill to level for Cissia's damage. EX-Specials will be frequently used by Cissia to restore her Venom resource. Chain Attack and Ultimate also deal a decent amount of damage and may be worth leveling on Cissia.
