Nangong Yu Guide & Best Builds
Welcome to our Nangong Yu build guide for Zenless Zone Zero. Nangong Yu is a powerful S-Rank Ether Stun Agent who specialises in stunning for Anomaly Agents. In our guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Nangong Yu, from building the best Drive Discs and W-Engines to important stat priorities and combos.
Nangong Yu's Best W-Engines
Listed below are Nangong Yu's best W-Engines. While W-Engines are listed in a priority order, what's best to build on your Nangong Yu can vary based on your team composition.
Nangong Yu Signature
Increases the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency by 90/90/90/90/90 points. When the equipper deals Ether attribute DMG with [EX Special Attack] or [Basic Attack], the whole squad's DMG dealt increases by 15/15/15/15/15% for 40s. Max 2 stacks. Can trigger once per use of a skill. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When at 2 stacks, the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency is further increased by 60/60/60/60/60. This effect is unique to the squad.
Ice-Jade Teapot
When a Basic Attack hits an enemy, gain 1 stack of Tea-riffic. Each stack of Tea-riffic increases the user's Impact by 0.7/0.88/1.05/1.22/1.4%, stacking up to 30 times, and lasting for 8s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Upon acquiring Tea-riffic, if the equipper possesses stacks of Tea-riffic greater than or equal to 15, all squad members' DMG is increased by 20/23/26/29/32% for 10s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Hellfire Gears
While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2/s.
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.
The Restrained
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.
Six Shooter
The equipper gains 1 Charge stack every 3s, stacking up to 6 times. When launching an EX Special Attack, consumes all Charge stacks and each stack consumed increases the skill's Daze inflicted by 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%.
Precious Fossilized Core
When the target's HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% more Daze to the target. When the target's HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further increased by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%.
Best Drive Discs for Nangong Yu
Freedom Blues
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.
2-Piece Recommendations include:
- Phaethon's Melody
Phaethon's Melody
4-Piece Set: When any squad member uses an EX Special Attack, the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 45 for 8s. If the character using the EX Special Attack is not the equipper, the equipper's Ether DMG is increased by 25%.
Shockstar Disco
4-Piece Set: Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target.
Nangong Yu's Stat Priority
Nangong Yu's substats could still change significantly during the beta however as an Anomaly-supportive unit she generally wants the same stats favoured by other Anomaly Units moreso than stats favoured by stunners.
