Kafka Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Kafka build guide for Zenless Zone Zero. Kafka is a powerful S-Rank Electric Anomaly Agent . In our guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Kafka, from building the best Drive Discs and W-Engines to important stat priorities.

Kafka's Best W-Engines

Listed below are Kafka's best W-Engines. While W-Engines are listed in a priority order, what's best to build on your Kafka can sometimes vary based on your team composition or endgame fight.

Kafka Test W-Engine
Kafka Test W-Engine
When the equipper's [EX Special Attack] deals Electric DMG, their Anomaly Proficiency increases by 30/35/39/44/48 for 30s, stacking up to 3 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. This effect can trigger once per skill. When at 3 stacks, the equipper's DMG increases by 30/35/39/44/48%, and [Disorder] DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32%.
Kafka's signature W-Engine provides 90 AP as well as a massive 60% Energy Regen which is incredibly useful for her Core passive that grants additional Anomaly Mastery based on Energy Regen. Additionally, this W-Engine also grants 30% DMG and 20% Disorder DMG but only when at 3 stacks, which requires 3 skill uses to activate and more to maintain.
Timeweaver
Time-Devouring Stratagem
The equipper's Electric Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 30/35/40/45/50%. When Special Attacks or EX Special Attacks hit enemies suffering an Attribute Anomaly, the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 75/85/95/105/115 for 15s.
When the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency is greater than or equal to 375, Disorder DMG inflicted by the equipper increases by 25/27.5/30/32.5/35%.
One of the few Anomaly W-Engines that Kafka can fully utilise and benefit from, increasing Electric Anomaly Buildup Rate, Disorder DMG and providing additional Anomaly Proficiency.
Weeping Gemini
Lingering Cries
Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30/34/38/42/48, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Roaring Ride
Collision Potential
When EX Special Attack hits an enemy, one of three possible effects is randomly triggered for 5 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. The same types of effects cannot stack. Repeated triggers reset the duration, allowing several effects to be active at once:
Increases the equipper's ATK by 8/9.2/10.4/11.6/12.8%, increases the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency by 40/46/52/58/64, or increases the equipper's Anomaly Buildup Rate by 25/28/32/36/40%.
Electro-Lip Gloss
Kiss of Death
When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% and they deal an additional 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% more DMG to the target.
Rainforest Gourmet
Dinner's Ready!
For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 2.5/2.8/3.2/3.6/4% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Best Drive Discs for Kafka

Freedom Blues
2-Piece Set: Anomaly Proficiency +30
4-Piece Set: When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, reduce the target's Anomaly Buildup RES to the equipper's Attribute by 20% for 8s. This effect does not stack with others of the same attribute.
Freedom Blues is a great Drive Disc set for Kafka, providing additional AP and lowering Anomaly Buildup RES to the Electric element.

2-Piece Recommendations include:

Kafka's Stat Priority

Disc 4: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK %
Disc 5: Electric DMG / ATK %
Disc 6: Energy Regen > ATK %
Substats: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK %

Energy Regen is currently very important for Kafka due to her additional ability converting Energy Regen directly into Anomaly Mastery.
