Ju Fufu's Best Mindscapes
Overall, Ju Fufu's Mindscape Cinema is solid all-around, as getting any Mindscapes will make building her easier, or better yet, make Ju Fufu's place in a CRIT DMG squad more important than other Agents.
For players who are not planning to invest much, it is significantly better to go for Ju Fufu's Signature W-Engine first, then her M1: Super Scary Little Tiger second. This Mindscape allows her to off-set some of the CRIT Rate required for her Best-in-Slot Drive Disc set, but it also improves her Stun capabilities. As she often deals DMG while off-field, anything to help her DMG is better than nothing.
Her next best Mindscape upgrade is M2: Almighty Qingming Warrior, as the additional CRIT DMG increase is well appreciated by any Agent who wants more CRIT DMG. This can be a particularly difficult stat to build, so this Mindscape allows for more leeway with your Equipment choices. If triggered, the bonus Momentum helps with keeping Ju Fufu off-field for much longer too.
Her remaining Mindscape Upgrades at M4 and M6 are equally useful in improving Ju Fufu's personal DMG output, especially the Chain Attack DMG bonuses from her M6: Roar of My Inner Tiger. However, they are not as significant as her initial Mindscapes, so it is more efficient to focus on building Ju Fufu's squad and recommended stats first.
| # | Mindscape | Description |
|---|---|---|
| M1 | Super Scary Little Tiger | Upon entering combat, Ju Fufu's CRIT Rate increases by 12%, and she immediately gains 100 Might. When Ju Fufu's Chain Attack hits an enemy, when the target is Stunned, the target's Stun DMG Multiplier is increased by 35%, lasting for 30s. |
| M2 | Almighty Qingming Warrior | While in the Tiger's Roar state, character CRIT DMG increases by an additional 22%. Whenever any character activates an Ultimate, Ju Fufu gains 3 points of Momentum. |
| M3 | Righteous Young Hero | Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2. |
| M4 | Monster-Slaying Tiger Mystic | While Ju Fufu is in the Tiger's Roar state, her CRIT DMG increases by 35%. |
| M5 | Unrivaled Almighty Senior | Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2. |
| M6 | Inner Tiger's Roar | Ju Fufu's Chain Attack DMG increases by 30%. Upon consuming Momentum and hitting an enemy in the high-speed spinning state, fire 3 popcorns, each dealing 160% of Fufu's ATK as DMG. This DMG is treated as Chain Attack DMG. |

How to Play Ju Fufu
Ju Fufu's basic gameplay is very straightforward on the surface, but there is a lot going on with every action she does. She is considered an off-field Stun Agent, as Ju Fufu can continue attacking her enemies while the player controls someone else.
To summarize, Ju Fufu's gameplay loop can look something like this:
- Build Energy for EX Special Attack via Basic Attack Combo
- Use EX Special Attack or Ultimate to gain Momentum and Might
- With enough Momentum, use Dash Attack: Mountain King's Game
- With enough Might, use Chain Attack: Suppressing Tiger's Cauldron (Tiger's Roar Buff)
- Dash Attack can trigger Chain Attack; Chain Attack can trigger Dash Attack
- Loop ends when Ju Fufu does not have enough Momentum or Might
Ju Fufu's primary goals are to build enough Momentum and Might so she can continuously attack off-field. Her Dash Attack and Chain Attack can automatically trigger off each other with enough resources.
How does Ju Fufu work?
If Ju Fufu is on-field and the active Agent, she is able to repeatedly continue her Basic Attacks, Tiger Seven Forms - Flaming Claw, until she executes the final hit. This is known as the Basic Attack Combo:
> > ... > (Hold)
As Ju Fufu performs the Basic Attack Combo, she not only builds enough Energy for her EX Special Attack: Tiger Seven Forms Alt - Mountain-Descending Savage Tiger, but her trusty companion Hu Wei can also attack enemies and gain Might.
When Ju Fufu has enough Might built up, she can trigger a special Chain Attack: Suppressing Tiger Cauldron, which provides a unique buff to all Agents. Her buff is known as Tiger's Roar, and it increases the squad's overall CRIT DMG, Chain Attack DMG, and Ultimate DMG.
What is Hu Wei? Why is Might Important?
Hu Wei is a passive attacker on-field that belongs to Ju Fufu. If Ju Fufu is alive, so is Hu Wei. Whenever Hu Wei attacks, Ju Fufu gains Might, which is needed in order to trigger her special Chain Attack: Suppressing Tiger Cauldron.
It is important to prioritize Chain Attack: Suppressing Tiger Cauldron over her standard Chain Attack: Tiger Cauldron Collapse, because it is how she can provide her Tiger's Roar buff to other Agents.
How to Build and Spend Momentum and Might
Though it may seem confusing to keep track of two different resources for Ju Fufu, on top of her Energy for her EX Special Attack, it is a lot more straightforward than it seems.
Ju Fufu can only gain Might from the following:
- Hu Wei's attacks
- Her EX Special Attack
- If she is spinning under Dash Attack: Tiger Seven Forms - Mountain King's Game
- Her Ultimate: Tiger Seven Forms - Raging Tiger Explosion
In all of the skills mentioned, you can think of it as Hu Wei also attacking, which is why she can gain Might.
However, in order for Ju Fufu to spin under Mountain King's Game properly, she needs Momentum. Momentum can be built by using any of the following skills:
- EX Special Attack: Tiger Seven Forms Alt - Mountain-Descending Savage Tiger
- Assist Follow-Up: Feral Blazing Maw
- Ultimate: Tiger Seven Forms - Raging Tiger Explosion
To spend Momentum, you would perform either her Mountain King's Game (through a Dash Attack) or her Chain Attack: Suppressing Tiger's Cauldron (which can automatically trigger Mountain King's Game).
To spend Might, Ju Fufu just needs a Chain Attack to trigger, which will automatically spend her Might (if 100 Might is available). This will cause Suppressing Tiger Cauldron and her CRIT DMG buff to occur.
If you have neither Momentum or Might, you should prioritize using her EX Special Attack or Ultimate when they are available.

Ju Fufu's Best in Slot Guide
There are two primary goals when building Ju Fufu:
- Build a total of 3,400 ATK for Core Passive: Fu-rocious Might
- Build a minimum of 50% CRIT Rate for Drive Disc King of the Summit's 4-Piece Set Effect
The following will cover how to fulfill both goals depending on which W-Engine you choose.
Signature W-Engine: Roaring Fur-nace
Ju Fufu's arguably best W-Engine to build with is her Signature W-Engine: Roaring Fur-nace. Not only is the W-Engine Effect: Tiger Spirit Rising tailored for Ju Fufu's general gameplay, she also benefits heavily from the 30% ATK Advanced Stat and high Base ATK it provides.
To reach 3,400 ATK for her Core Passive, Ju Fufu with Roaring Fur-nace only requires an additional 79% ATK from her Drive Discs. This is the lowest amount of ATK % required from any Stun W-Engine currently available in Zenless Zone Zero, and it can be made up from building both ATK and ATK %. The flexibility this W-Engine provides will make building Ju Fufu's Drive Discs significantly easier.
Thanks to the high ATK Roaring Fur-nace can provide, Ju Fufu can also have an easier time building CRIT Rate on her Drive Discs. Though 30.6% CRIT Rate might seem like a lot, it is relatively simple to obtain, whether from using a CRIT Rate Main Stat on Drive Disc 4, or through Disc substats alone.
For more information on building Ju Fufu's Drive Discs with Roaring Fur-nace, check out the Drive Discs section.
Limited W-Engine: Spectral Gaze
On the other hand, if players do not have Roaring Fur-nace, Ju Fufu can also take advantage of Trigger's Signature W-Engine, the Spectral Gaze.
Please note that Spectral Gaze is only recommended for its Stats; Ju Fufu is unable to fully utilize the W-Engine Effect: Wind Seeker, as she neither deals Electric DMG nor benefits greatly from building Impact.
Spectral Gaze's stats are unique for a Stun W-Engine, as it provides both the same high Base ATK as Roaring Fur-nace, and has a CRIT Rate Advanced Stat. Both stats are advantageous for Ju Fufu, as the W-Engine's CRIT Rate removes the need for a Partition 4 Disc with a CRIT Rate Main Stat. In addition, the high Base ATK makes building Ju Fufu's ATK easier, only requiring a total of 109% ATK from her Drive Discs.
As Spectral Gaze does not have any ATK %, this means that Ju Fufu will need to prioritize as much ATK % Substat Distributions as possible on her Drive Discs.
For more information on building Ju Fufu's Drive Discs with Spectral Gaze, check out the Drive Discs section.
Other S-Rank W-Engines
Out of the remaining S-Rank W-Engines, realistically, Ju Fufu will want whichever has ATK % or CRIT Rate as its Advanced Stat, and/or one with a high Base ATK. None of the remaining Stun W-Engines have super compatible W-Engine Effects for Ju Fufu to use, as Impact and Energy Regen are decent, but not significant enough for most of Ju Fufu's kit.
If neither Roaring Fur-nace or Spectral Gaze are available, players are recommended to use an available W-Engine with the highest Base ATK, or ones with W-Engine Effects Ju Fufu can use. For example: Hellfire Gears, which is available permanently through the Signal Shop; or Blazing Laurel, which has the highest Base ATK available for a non-ATK % Stun W-Engine.
Most S-Rank W-Engines fall under two general categories: (1) having the same Base ATK as Roaring Fur-nace and Spectral Gaze, or (2) having either 46 ATK(Lv.0) or 684 ATK(Lv.60).
If the W-Engine has the same Base ATK, at 48 ATK(Lv.0) or 713 ATK(Lv.60), Ju Fufu will only need an additional 109% ATK, just like Spectral Gaze. For example, W-Engines like Blazing Laurel and Ice-Jade Teapot.
If the W-Engine has a lower Base ATK, at 46 ATK(Lv.0) or 684 ATK(Lv.60), Ju Fufu will need an additional 113% ATK, which is only attainable with at least one 30% ATK Main Stat in her Drive Discs. W-Engines that fall under this category include Hellfire Gears and The Restrained.
A-Rank W-Engines
Most of the A-Rank W-Engine options available require anywhere from an additional 123-127% ATK to reach 3,400 ATK. This is because the Base ATK value from A-Rank W-Engines are not as high as any S-Rank W-Engine available.
As such, if players are looking for a temporary measure, they should consider any of the following:
- Box Cutter has the highest Base ATK for an A-Rank, and also increases Daze following Aftershock DMG, which Ju Fufu can use to effectively stun enemies. However, Ju Fufu will not benefit much from the Physical DMG increase.
- Steam Oven, Precious Fossilized Core, and Six Shooter all have the same Base ATK. None of them feature a significantly compatible W-Engine Effect for Ju Fufu, so these should only be used if there are no other options available.
To reach 3,400 ATK and 50% CRIT Rate, all A-Rank W-Engines will require at least one 30% ATK in a Drive Disc Main Stat, as well as 24% CRIT Rate in Drive Disc 4's Main Stat.
As a special note, players should only use [Vortex] Revolver if there are no other options available. Of all the W-Engines, [Vortex] Revolver requires the most additional ATK, at 129%, to reach 3,400 ATK total. None of the B-Rank W-Engines are useful enough to consider over any A-Rank W-Engine.
The most important stats for Ju Fufu are ATK and CRIT Rate. See the Additional Notes for more information, such as why these stats matter, or how Drive Disc substats are distributed.
At the current moment, all Stun W-Engines in the game can reach both thresholds with the following Drive Disc conditions:
- 4-Piece King of the Summit, 2-Piece Astral Voice/ Hormone Punk/ Woodpecker Electro
- 24% CRIT Rate on Drive Disc 4 (Optional for Spectral Gaze)
- 30% ATK on Drive Disc 5 and/or 6 (60-90% ATK maximum)
- Supplement the remaining ATK, ATK %, and/or CRIT Rate through Substats
CRIT Rate on Drive Discs
Using a CRIT Rate Main Stat on Partition Disc 4 will provide up to 24% CRIT Rate. To reach the minimum CRIT Rate of 50%, the remaining 6.6% CRIT Rate will have to be supplemented through Drive Disc substats. An alternative solution is the 8% CRIT Rate bonus from the 2-Piece Drive Disc Woodpecker Electro Set Effect.
If you are running any W-Engine that does not have an Advanced Stat in CRIT Rate, it is highly recommended to get a CRIT Rate Main Stat in Ju Fufu's Drive Disc 4. The only exception to this is Roaring Fur-nace, as its builds can exclusively rely on CRIT Rate substats.
ATK and ATK % on Drive Discs
The general recommendation for building ATK is to run one or two 30% ATK Main Stats on Discs 4, 5, or 6; as well as a 10% ATK 2-Piece Set Effect from either Astral Voice or Hormone Punk.
If you require CRIT Rate in a Drive Disc's Main Stat, you can only build ATK % as a Main Stat on Discs 5 and/or 6.
It is difficult to run only one ATK % Drive Disc or none with Roaring Fur-nace or Spectral Gaze, as it significantly increases the amount of ATK % substats required. Also, some builds cannot exclusively rely on building ATK; they must have some ATK % substats to make it work.
This can be supplemented with 25% ATK from the 4-Piece Hormone Punk, but that also means you cannot use the 4-Piece King of the Summit. Please note this is recommended only if your resources are insufficient to build Ju Fufu properly.
4-Piece Set Recommendations
Ju Fufu should be running a 4-Piece King of the Summit, as this is a Drive Disc set specifically tailored just for her. It not only increases her capabilities as a Stun Agent, but also increases the CRIT DMG of everyone in the squad. This CRIT DMG buff is also further increased if Ju Fufu can reach at least 50% CRIT Rate.
Every Stun W-Engine currently available can run a 4-Piece King of the Summit build, if Ju Fufu's Drive Disc substats are built correctly. See the Additional Notes section for more information.
The other 4-Piece recommendation, Hormone Punk, is only viable if Ju Fufu cannot reach 3,400 ATK on her own. The Drive Disc Set Effect allows her to not only get 10% ATK unconditionally, but also gives another 25% ATK whenever she enters combat or switches in for 10s. Using this set is only if players are unable to farm for King of the Summit.
2-Piece Set Recommendations
Depending on the player's account progression, it will likely be easier to build Ju Fufu using either a 2-Piece from Astral Voice or Hormone Punk. Both Drive Disc sets feature an unconditional 10% ATK bonus, which helps greatly with reaching the 3,400 ATK threshold for Ju Fufu.
Alternatively, Ju Fufu can also run a 2-Piece Woodpecker Electro instead, which has an unconditional 8% CRIT Rate bonus. This can be paired with a 4-Piece King of the Summit to fulfill the 50% CRIT Rate conditional effect.
If, for some reason, players are able to meet the ATK and CRIT Rate without the use of any of the Drive Disc sets mentioned, they should run a 2-Piece Shockstar Disco so Ju Fufu has some extra Stun and Daze benefits.
Why does Ju Fufu want so much ATK? How does CRIT Rate factor into this?
To provide the squad the maximum amount of CRIT DMG available through Tiger's Roar, Ju Fufu's ATK needs to reach 3,400. When this threshold is reached, she can provide up to 50% additional CRIT DMG to everyone in the squad. If Ju Fufu's ATK is equal to or below 2,799, she can only provide a maximum of 20% CRIT DMG at Core Skill Enhancement F, which is less than 50% of what her buff can potentially provide.
Building Ju Fufu's CRIT Rate, on the other hand, is because of her Best-in-Slot Drive Disc set King of the Summit. Not only is the 4-Piece Set Effect stackable with Ju Fufu's Tiger's Roar, it can also further increase the CRIT DMG provided if Ju Fufu herself has at least 50% CRIT Rate.
How much ATK or CRIT Rate does Ju Fufu need?
Ju Fufu requires, at most, 3,400 ATK. Going above this threshold will not further increase the amount of CRIT DMG she can provide via Tiger's Roar.
To meet the conditional requirement for the King of the Summit's 4-Piece Set Effect, Ju Fufu also needs to reach at least 50% in CRIT Rate. It does not hurt to go above this minimum, as having higher CRIT Rate gives more opportunities for Ju Fufu to deal critical damage, benefiting from her already impressive CRIT DMG buffs.
Why is it difficult to build ATK and CRIT Rate together?
Here are a few, but not all, notable challenges with building for high ATK and CRIT Rate on Ju Fufu:
- Ju Fufu's kit, including Skills and Mindscape Cinema, provides no additional ATK or ATK %
- Only her Signature W-Engine has ATK % as an Advanced Stat for Stun W-Engines (up to 30%)
- Only Trigger's Signature W-Engine, the Spectral Gaze, has CRIT Rate % (up to 24%), and it is also a limited Stun W-Engine
- There is only one Drive Disc type (Partition 4) with a CRIT Rate Main Stat available; Others can only obtain CRIT Rate through Substats
- You can only use one 10% ATK Drive Disc Set Effect while running a 4-Piece King of the Summit; Other sets are not as strong or efficient to build
For every S-Rank Drive Disc, each CRIT Rate substat begins at 2.4% CRIT Rate. For ATK, it begins at 19 ATK; for ATK %, it begins at 3%.
At certain levels of the Drive Disc, one of these stats will increase by the same amount with each distribution, up to a maximum of five distributions (or upgrades) available per Disc. If the Disc started with only three substats, one of the distributions will give a different substat altogether (rather than increasing a current value).
Essentially, every Drive Disc that starts with CRIT Rate+0 can build up to CRIT Rate+5. If the Drive Disc did not have CRIT Rate to begin with, the maximum possible substat value will only be CRIT Rate+4. Same concept applies to ATK, ATK %, and other substats.
As the number of upgrades can only go up to +5 total, Drive Discs can distribute this value across several substats. For example, an ATK % Disc can have CRIT Rate+1, CRIT DMG+2, and PEN+2.
Any Partition Discs with a specific Main Stat cannot have the same stat as its substat. For example, a Disc 4 with CRIT Rate as the Main Stat cannot have CRIT Rate as its substat.
The following table lists the total stat value at each distribution level.
| Distribution Number | CRIT Rate Substat Value | ATK Substat Value | ATK % Substat Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| +0 | CRIT Rate+0 = 2.4% | ATK+0 = 19 | ATK %+0 = 3% |
| +1 | CRIT Rate+1 = 4.8% | ATK+1 = 38 | ATK %+1 = 6% |
| +2 | CRIT Rate+2 = 7.2% | ATK+2 = 57 | ATK %+2 = 9% |
| +3 | CRIT Rate+3 = 9.6% | ATK+3 = 76 | ATK %+3 = 12% |
| +4 | CRIT Rate+4 = 12.0% | ATK+4 = 95 | ATK %+4 = 15% |
| +5 | CRIT Rate+5 = 14.4% | ATK+5 = 114 | ATK %+5 = 18% |
Bangboo Information
Ju Fufu has a good few Bangboo options to choose from, namely:
Belion, which she can use as a solo Agent/paired with Yunkui Summit
Snap, if she is paired with Evelyn Chevalier
Robin, if she is paired with Hugo Vlad
Rocketboo, if she is paired with another Fire Agent
Each of these Bangboos offer something different, depending on what
Ju Fufu's squad looks like. For example, 
Belion will have
more opportunities to attack, and 
Snap's Abilities will
activate whenever Ju Fufu does a Chain Attack or Assist
Follow-Up. Though unconventional, players can also use Ju Fufu in a
double Stun team with Hugo Vlad, allowing the use
of 
Robin.
If players have upgraded their Belion with additional
Bangboo Cores, they can also use the Bangboo with Ju Fufu as the only
Yunkui Summit Agent instead. This will allow for more flexibility with
the other Agents in her squad.
If players do not want a specific Faction Bangboo to use, they can
opt for 
Rocketboo or the A-Rank
alternative, 
Cryboo, instead. Otherwise, it may be better
to pick a Bangboo based on Ju Fufu's corresponding Attack or Rupture
Agent.
Ju Fufu Team Comps and Synergy
Ju Fufu can essentially substitute herself into most CRIT DMG-based squads, as there are plenty of Attack Agents who will appreciate what her Tiger's Roar buff has to offer. Ju Fufu's Additional Ability: Aura of Authority also provides extra Decibels to any Attack or Rupture Agent, so it is important to pair her with a suitable squad.
| On-Field DPS | Off-Field Stun | Support | Bangboo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yixuan | Ju Fufu | Pan Yinhu | Belion |
| Evelyn Chevalier | Ju Fufu | Astra Yao | |
| Ju Fufu | Lucy | ||
| Hugo Vlad | Ju Fufu | Robin |
Let us discuss the different factors that go into making a squad around Ju Fufu. First, Ju Fufu's Tiger Roar buff provides the following increases:
- CRIT DMG
- Chain Attack DMG
- Ultimate DMG
Essentially, this means that any Attack or Rupture Agent Ju Fufu is paired with, should be someone who likes having more CRIT DMG. For example, players can go with the traditional Fire Agents such as Soldier 11 or Evelyn Chevalier. Or they can go with another Yunkui Summit Agent such as Yixuan.
Players can also go with non Fire Agents such as Soldier 0 - Anby and Hugo Vlad. The reasons why these two Agents would work are that Soldier 0 - Anby boosts Aftershock DMG, while Hugo Vlad wants to have multiple Stun Agents in his squads. Realistically however, players should only use Ju Fufu with said Agents if there are no other alternatives available.
If players decide to run a double Stun Agent comp, two compatible Agents Ju Fufu can pair up with are Lighter and Pulchra. Of the two, Lighter is more beneficial, as he can decrease enemies' Fire RES and work with Hugo Vlad's Ice DMG preference. This would ensure both Ju Fufu and Hugo Vlad have increased DMG without suffering the loss of Support Agents.
Pulchra is a better choice than most other Stun Agents, as she can buff Aftershock DMG. This is a similar reason to using Soldier 0 - Anby, but the issue is that Ju Fufu would equally want to be off-field for as long as possible. Switching too soon on Pulchra can have its downsides. So she is difficult to recommend, especially if Pulchra does not have her M6.
At the end of the day, as long as Ju Fufu is paired with Agents who enjoy building CRIT DMG, she would be fine to add to any of their squads.
